Why Are Nigerian Men Selective Listeners? I Can't Believe This: by eatme: 6:55pm On Jan 06, 2012 |
And they tend to only select one word out of a story and build their own story from it. For example, I recently booked a flight to Nigeria. And while I was ticket searching, the most reasonable price from Toronto was double the amount of the one I found departing from Buffalo, NY. So, I decided to book the buffalo ticket and plan to use greyhound services from Toronto to BUF if I'm unable to find someone to drop me off. Anyways, I have this one dude that's been toasting me (mind you, he didn't even contribute to my flight ticket ), so, I was explaining to him the situation and why I decided to fly out from BUF instead of Pearson. The response I received from him came at me from left fields, "AH, so you are going to America to visit your boyfriends and you will be using greyhound. Why are you being a cheap girl." What the heck Naija men, bikonu, help me understand where be drew that conclusion from my explained traveling arrangements. |

Based on your title, you decided to generalise, and yet to want us to respond? One guy misread your lines, and you are here crucifying an entire nation. |

@OP: What he said has nothing to do with selective listening. Most human beings have selective hearing. It's not something that is native to only Nigerian guys. Sitting here and saying that it is something that our Nigerian brothers possess just because you didn't get money out of some guy is no reason to make such a general statement. 1 Like |

kokoye: The drive from where I am to BUF is about 2hrs. I've had guys do this for me in the past, so, why shouldn't he? And plus, I didn't ask him to give me ride, neither have I had to "ask" in the past. Well, at least not directly. But lets not lose focus, lets get back on track. This isn't a one time occurrence, Nigerian men always do this to me. I give them a 5 sentence paragraph, and all they do is seek out one keyboard and construct a whole different story that is none related to my original paragraph. |

MsDarkSkin: lol you saying that reminds me of when a women will be talking to her boyfriend, husband, whatever you wanna call them, and they totally tune them out. When I was at my friends boyfriend's house a few weeks ago, my friend was talking to her boyfriend and I was in the kitchen watching the scenario about to unfold. . . So basically, my friend was talking to her boyfriend and he was talking back but the moment he changed the channel to ESPN, the man went deaf. I was crackin' up and shakin' my head the whole time. |

Inked_Nerd: Sports time is sacred time : PLEASE DON'T DISTURB. |
Re: Why Are Nigerian Men Selective Listeners? I Can't Believe This: by InkedNerd(f): 1:45am On Jan 07, 2012 |
MarcAnthon: Oh really? Well if I undressed in front of a dude while he was watching sports and presented my goodies to him and asked him to choose between sports and a "good time", which one do you think he'll chose It's ok though. I can always let a guy have his own time. I can even join as well. Not a big deal for me |

Re: Why Are Nigerian Men Selective Listeners? I Can't Believe This: by MarcAnthon(m): 2:06am On Jan 07, 2012 |
Inked_Nerd: But seriously I think the expectation is a bit unreal. Everyone needs his/her space. Needing your dude to be there 100% is a bit too clingy for me. Ever had of the 'man cave'? A man needs this space, whether physically or metaphorically, to think, to sort himself out and trash out those things that worry him, or just to be by himself. It becomes a problem when he retreats ever too often and for too long. But for some girls the moment you are quiet for two seconds it's a case of 'darling, what is it'? Often times it's NOTHING for God's sake. This neediness is what drives some men away at the end of the day. Not excusing that, but that's the way it is. |
Re: Why Are Nigerian Men Selective Listeners? I Can't Believe This: by InkedNerd(f): 2:12am On Jan 07, 2012 |
MarcAnthon: Man caves are silly [no vex o!]but I agree that with what you said about people needing their space. I used to laugh at girls who who used to pester their boyfriends and expect to be with them 24/7. Regardless of a relationship, people as a whole need space at times. I used like a guy who for whatever reason reason thought I should be with him and call him constantly. Chei, the whole thing just perplexed me. Eventually at some point in time, I just said "Fück it! No wonder all your previous girlfriends left you." |

Re: Why Are Nigerian Men Selective Listeners? I Can't Believe This: by MarcAnthon(m): 2:25am On Jan 07, 2012 |
Inked_Nerd: Well it's the same thing, isn't it? Cave = Space. But at least we agree on the latter. MsDarkSkin:Missy, did you miss the part where I said sports time is sacred time? |
Re: Why Are Nigerian Men Selective Listeners? I Can't Believe This: by InkedNerd(f): 2:44am On Jan 07, 2012 |
MarcAnthon: Chei, even the thought of being with someone 24/7 scares the shït out of me. There are few people I can be confined with and not go mad. |

Ladies, if your guy ignores you during sport time, ignore him during bed time. |
