Within the premises of nairaland, those up there qualify as 'other men'.

The options are still open.

pickabeau1:
Same reason women cannot call out a woman who marries a man 20/30/40 years older as a gold digger.

Some of them r secretly envious...

Nonso23:

Terrific? as in?

Terrific monsters

Terrific child abusers

Terrific rapist
etc

alutacontinua:

How are you so sure gold-digging is the only reason the above can happen?
I know poor men whose wives are waaaaayyyyyy younger than them
You cannot know everyone's story


Gold diggers date their mates too

carefreewannabe:


You haven't answered my question.

bukatyne:


No more lines?

To think I was enjoying them

pickabeau1:



Interesting....good for u....so u have a young woman willingly marry a not so rich man who is even older and it was because of love??

Puhlezze.....

Well..whatever works for d people....

Gold diggers marrying their mate is also as rare as the blue moon....they r d exception

Those mates are not yet as rich...

Why date down when there are older richer men who want u...

alutacontinua:


I'm just saying speaking up against gold-digging, maybe! but speaking up against marrying older men seems a lil off. You cannot just automatically assume any woman marrying an older man is doing it for money. That assumption is too general!

MizMyColi:
Okay, so I was here to like Carefree's GIF image - Epic!


*walks out*

pickabeau1:


Yet the assumption of the op that guys don't say anything against domestic violence because they indulge in it is not general?

alutacontinua:



To say the truth, I didn't even read the op's post, I never do!
It's always too long for my lazy brain, I just read the comments!


But her topic said 'speak more', init?

pickabeau1:



It said speak up

carefreewannabe:

Nonso23:

It is a matter of perspective.
You choose to look at it as a noun.
I choose to see it as an adjective and consequently assume that sentence is incomplete.

On nairaland men can't just be afforded the costly compliment - 'terrific' unless there is a really demeaning noun following closely behind or they are lucky to be family members. At least that's almost a tradition here.

BananaBender:


Bwhahahahahahhahahaha Stop!

You're mean.

alutacontinua:


I modified my comment.

And I no even get strength to argue this evening, forget that I said anything

Nonso23:

very unnecessary.

Which of them;

Liking or Walking?

pickabeau1:


Interesting.......

MizMyColi:

SirShymex:
I think the problem lies with women folk.

And it should be: when are women going to stop provoking/instigating domestic violence?

Then, we also have to show the same level of concerns for men who are/have-been victims of domestic violence, the same way we have been doing about women.

Once we start doing that - a lot of things are going to change.

pickabeau1:


Really interesting....

I guess your own angle will come out later

You might have noticed I avoid gender related talks.

Not my ministry.

Won't open one anytime soon either

Nonso23:

Thank you. It's been duly noted.
Like i said before
I still choose to believe that there is a really demeaning noun following that word.
Good thing i said '...almost tradition'
the rest of the non-traditional portion should appeal to you, i think.

Nairaland knows no smart, hardworking, handsome men unless they are family members.
Other than that they are:
the usual.
