So women giving vent to their emotions makes them vulnerable? I do hope you realise that the term 'vulnerable' is highly subjective? You really are a sexist, like the typical African man with a gargantuan ego angry

Not giving vent but being lead by their emotions. Spot the difference?

Oyibo girama. I never knew there are so many sexists on Nairaland


Realism isn't sexism.

My love for women is Nairaland-renowned grin grin grin but it won't colour my perceptibility.

That's because the large majority of them reason in a circle. I can count the number of sensible posters here with my fingers and still have a couple of phalanges to spare.

The rest just attempt to belie their lack of intellect with Faustian language which is in most cases, not usually germane to the topic being pared. And other times their waffle is just cobblers at peak.



Nairaland is populated by Nigerians, so if it's NL standard then it's Nigerian standard. I wouldn't entirely premise on the crass & misogynistic displays on NL as most online personas are rarely mirror images of their realities(I stand to be corrected).

I still strongly believe that relationships should be a two-way street. You can't eat your cake and have it.



Same here.
We still have a long way to go then. If the so-called educated ones still cling tightly to trite apothegms that have no bearing in these latter-days, then how much more the unlettered and everyday Joe Bloggs and Jane Doe - Corruptio optimi pessima.

Another beautiful compilation of masterful rhetorics. smiley

I am inclined to agree with everything you have written above and also believe that you will share my opinion that we are called to offer alternative views to what we (choose to) read here about marriage and other controversial topics. In a nutshell, more solutions and less criticism.

So - in the context of this thread - what should be the values of African marriage?
And of course why?

But does your boy like horseriding, "Hey Duggee" and "Teletubbies"? These are the necessary things to make a relationship work with my child.
Aaaah no, but likes peppa pig and I'm sure they will enjoy a fine date watching "frozen".

He can also serenade her to the wonderful lyrics of "twinkle twinkle little star". No woman can resist his singing grin

He and I are like the majority of males about; the only difference is we state our intention and mind with boldness accompanied by honesty.

We don't ass-lick and suck up to you females to gain your approval like the pansy kid does

We tell it as it is.

Deep down, the average woman is a 100 times more earthy than the male.

In other words, you aren't gentlemen who are bothered by the conventional mating rituals. Just tell her to her face 'I wanna fvck' you.

Gentleman? The word itself is a term for hypocrisy and falsity!!!

Being gentlemanly has turned many ladies to cheats who crave the brutality and primal nature of sex and love!

" I want to fück" will turn your hormones around and make your heart do the double and produce an extra glint in your eyes than other pretentious euphemisms.


Few moments call for veiled intentions though, but take nothing away from bold assertions

All types. I love 'em in varied assortments.

And I love to loosen the uptight, prudish ones who are yet to discover their raw femininity.

Women love it direct most times, but men for some unexplained reasons have used too much diplomacy. Women only learnt to adapt.

Men use diplomacy because the kind of directness you're talking about is disrespectful to many women's sense of honour. I have long discovered and 'acclimatised' myself to my own femininity but if ever a man is as direct with his intentions in the way you insist women like, to me, I will immediately take offence and give him a thorough tongue lashing.

I disagree. There are some things I have read here that are mirrored in academic papers. I didn't believe some but most comments strongly prove that these boys are merely retelling what they have learnt.

pcguru1:


Sometimes what you read on NL might not mirror reality, give anyone a mask and you will see their ugly side.

Sorry this might sound contradictory so let me explain, take me for example I am well behaved, mannered, and will never do anything to cause trouble for myself, however the anonymity gives me the power to say anything and avoid repercussions. Most of NL members will never say any of this things in real life because of effects and how they might be viewed. in actual sense, in reality you will not witness this much ugliness because it's supressed inside, not saying it doesn't exists.

And the female mind is biologically programmed to be vulnerable. It is her source of strength and , of course , weakness too. All religious and statistical data , and real life occurrence have shed light to this.

Why stamp your feet over a trite truism that is known to both men of letters and nonreaders?

There's nothing he can possibly proffer in rebuttal.
When parallels are drawn, the circumstances prevalent in the two things in comparison - in this case in the two different eras - have to be brought to the front and centre, and have to, in spades, bear similitude before it can be bucketed as a reasonable line of argument.

I thought this was entitled: 'What is the African marriage about and what is its values?'.

Discussions as usual have gone off at a tangent with little to nothing to take home.

Lols!

Ishilove, I have always wanted to fück you, in a period in time past. I often wondered when you'll get round to realising you have always wanted to fück me too with equal fervour cool

Men have always used diplomacy because female sexuality has always been downplayed and misunderstood by men since time began. Common, when was female Orgasm learnt and appreciated? It has always been an act of duty or obligation for women to participate in sex.

So men through time have always felt the need to put sex in a diplomatic, persuasive imploration.


You mean with all your pro-women's rights and emancipation, this has eluded you?

Yeah, you can tongue-lash, it's just a culture shock to you. Your senses will get used to it, but your hormones will before the rest of you follow.

my post doesn't state otherwise except that this is their haven where they can say such without consequence compared to doing them easily in real life.

Then again it's normal Humans are flawed to begin with, we are all rotten to the core just that some of us are good at concealing such.
