6. Spending your money on women who aren't escorts

Your sex life is an investment — and the smarter the deals you execute, the savvier of an investor you become. Free sex is the most expensive sex in the world. Instead of navigating through an ambiguous investment in which you shower your woman with cash and prizes for the mediocre sex provided, deal with a professional as soon as possible. Although some of you may immediately jump to the negative connotations of a woman who is paid for sex, we suggest you take one step back. As an entrepreneur herself, why would you not want to deal with someone who has the same honesty and integrity that you do. Want a best friend? Buy a puppy. Want great sex? Call an escort.

Tough to agree, but fact. Ain't nothing Free. Absolutely nothing, earlier you realize it, better. If you estimate the time you use to cajole, the money spent on cajoling, gifts, recharge cards, etc.. then you'll realise this simple fact. The time alone is a screw up, When calculated, a lot of people spend 6 months in a 3-4years of their lifetime on a woman, thinking about the woman, only for them to realise the reality. Money talks. Not sure I agree with going with a Pro though, but women do waste time and resources. But you can't have everything, so... your choice.

I generally agree with everything, apart from the suggestion that men in their 20s should pay for sex. embarassed That one is a BAD idea, especially for peeps living in Nigeria.

Though it may be instructive for young men to chill out on any intense relationships. A lot of women at that age are mostly hassling young men to get married. Not exactly the brightest idea when you're still trying to build your career.

@op nice job, but this too is wisdom

Hard. Very down to earth. I am wishing this is not true. But I think it is.
Brilliance9000: [b]Women by nature, don't like to read all these. All they care is to trap you and keep you hostage. Way to go guys...get your education and career together. Trust me...women will be all over you. Intelligence, personality and money remains the biggest attributes to have. By Nigeria standard; money alone can pull it off. If in Diaspora, typically, looks, personality and intelligence can get you there. Now back to the spine of my post... I know a few people who foolishly fell into that scripture of "true love" in their 20s. They ended up having kids, dropped from school, had to work non-degree jobs to raise their kids. Before you know it, ten yrs have passed. They break up; guess what? She goes and marries an educated, career-fixed guy, that has his stuff together. As soon as she does this, then it hits you, what have I done with my life. You see, women don't give a sh$it about you, when it comes to making their life decision of who to be with. THIS IS WHEN YOU WILL KNOW A WOMAN IS VERY WICKED. NOT EVEN HER FATHER OR MOTHER CAN CHANGE HER MIND ON THAT. SHE IS FOLLOWING HER HEART( 90% of them only use their heart and don't use their MIND....ability to think deeply.) AND DOESN'T CARE IF SHE RIGHT OR WRONG UNTIL SHE HITS THE WALL HERSELF.

let me tell you something guys. Yes, some love is genuine but if both of you are still young, not stable in life, no finances, no education, no career, in most cases, no matter how strong the love is, breakup is inevitable. [/b]

OP...I dnt quite understnd y u say 'Free Sex is more expensive"...plus what's an 'Escort'?
Re: Mistakes A Guy Must Not Make In His 20s by Nobody: 11:25pm On May 09, 2013
LOL, u would have to be a downright heartless and emotionless robot with no need of human connection to follow some of these rules. That being said, I guess if ur strong and ruthless enough to see them through, they will eventually pay off financially. But OP remember humans have other needs asides money and success

10. Following the crowd instead of forging against it

You can be aware of the trends, but never follow them. If all your time is spent trying to adjust to your surroundings, you’ll get lost in the crowd all the more easily. Success and greatness are constructed by trendsetters themselves, not those who latched on to what’s currently trending. We hope that you don’t have any aspirations to look like your favorite rapper. Temptation to be influenced by those who you aspire to be like is easy, but no one finds their calling following in the footsteps of another.

9. Failing to energize those around you
what good has the highlighted point done Arsene Wenger?
