What comes to mind?

A man who eats like every other human being on the planet. . .right?

Okay I don't get the question. . . are we supposed to see something else? Is there a hidden meaning behind the image of a man in the market? I swear I was never good with them silly subliminal messages. After how many years of looking, I still haven't seen the Sexx in the chilled glass of Coca Cola. embarassed

Some of the comments here are not only irritably funny but border on the ridiculous.

Since when did going to the market make someone less of a man? Okay, let us leave the open market aside for a while: does shopping in a mall also make someone less 'manly' too? How about going to the bank, taking the kids to school or running a business?

In my opinion, such thinking is borne out of sheer ignorance or the misplaced sense of male superiority which is so common in many of our so-called traditions. Not that I am against our traditions, but certain aspects are just chauvinistic, domineering and outdated.

Those who have a problem with a man going to the market either do not understand marital vows or do not love their wives - assuming they are married, that is. Just because we grew up and found ourselves surrounded by cultures that 'wrongly' treats women as inferior or belonging to the kitchen, does not make these aspects of our cultures right. Otherwise, we should bring back the killing of twins and other senseless acts of our forefathers. Abi?

I love my wife, whom I treat as equal. The only major difference between she and I is fundamentally a biological fact, which makes us attracted to each other. Hence, I follow her to the market whenever I can, regardless of the puzzled looks of the clowns who sell things to us. I also sometimes take the initiative to shop for food and groceries on OUR behalf. There is no moral, religious, ethical, logical, cultural, political or constitutional rule or law that says she MUST be the one who shops and cooks while I cross my legs and watch my beloved Arsenal lose a game. Nothing stops me from cooking and cleaning, at least our marital vows never stated so. Thats why I am so glad that in some countries, even men are now entitled to paternity leave upon the birth of a new child. Responsibility goes both ways and is only limited by physiological constraints (e.g. carrying a baby for 9 months).

Just saying. We need to 'reformat' our cultural hard drive. The era of homo erectus is long gone. Not everything we find our parents or grandparents doing is right or proper.

If he is a bachelor & probably still single, that is unattached, he has 100% right to visit the market & buy food items. Let me use myself as an example.

I do this a lot, weekends I go to the market & buy what I need in the house,cook for the week, and preserve in my freezer. So when I get back from my daily job all I do is dish out what I will eat and microwave,shikena!

So please and please not all men you see in the market are STINGY. THIS WILL BE FALLACY OF IRRELEVANT GROUND.

acidtalk: When you go tho the market and you see a young man of between 26-45 years of age pricing and buying tomatoes, meat, vegetables and other ingredients, what first comes to your mind? Do you wonder why he is the one in the market instead of a girlfriend or wife.

Please share your honest opinion.

Guys, how do you feel being the one pricing in the market? Do you feel embarrassed or indifferent?
I so hate going to the market cos am not good at pricing, i particularly cant stand those market women, jeez! a fish worth N1000 they'll start pricing from N5000, i'll just frooze or simply say "ok" and walk away, what i usually do is to look for a young chick and buy from her, cos for some unknown reason they usually sell to me at a lower price and most often they take the list of things to buy from me and do all the buying for me. one thing for sure tho, am a pretty good cook.

I hate shopping, with passion; but I love cooking and experimenting with new stuff in the kitchen. The other day I added colouring to my white rice and turned it blue. Nobody ate it. sad

nativedoctor: My wife is a banker and I'm self employed. At times when I close early,I go to the market and buy foodstuff. I even call her from the market to confirm the quantity to buy. It removes the stress of doing the shopping from her busy schedule. I don't even see anything wrong in doing the cooking. After all she's my wife and the home is ours.

By far the best response so far.
Re: When You See A Man In The Market: by Mustay(m): 8:17pm On Aug 04, 2012
I'm a stand kitchen man. Don't care about the stereotypes or whatever anyone else thinks or adjudges cos na persin wey wear shoe sabi wetin dey pain am.

Sometimes, I could 'StumbleUpon' some stuffs and start buying but women are always the experts with pricing - one still asks them how much it would've cost them after/before buying.

Methinks a responsible man cares less about other's views about his family business especially when he's doing the right things.

PrettyCindy: ... My former neighbour, a family man with 2 children buys every single thing in the house. If they want to make soup, he buys all the ingredients and hands them over to his wife. If for any reason he gives his wife money to buy stuffs from the market, he must, i mean must collect the change from his wife. How do i know all these, whenever they quarrel, which they did alot, they always blabbed about it and the woman never fails to express her displeasure with the man always going to the market.
caution: We need to be careful about information that gets to the media about other people, even if their identity is unknown. Section 37 of the Nigeria Constitution states: 'The privacy of citizens, their homes, correspondence, telephone conversations and telegraphic communications is hereby guaranteed and protected'. There is a privacy law that protects 'quarrels' in another person's home.

To me is more fun going to the market,especially doing d pricing and there is nothing wrong or shameful about it . And to those that feels is only stingy men that goes to the market una need to ask una self which century we dey ?
Re: When You See A Man In The Market: by andyanders: 8:39pm On Aug 04, 2012
Is there anything wrong seeing a man buying food ingredients from the market? It's only in Nigeria you see that as a crime because you are too myopic in your sense of reasoning to know that nothing wrong in seeing a man buying food items. Come to the developed world, you see men doing that.

It is a nice one cos I do that always. For married ones that shows love for ur wife. Attimes u want to surprise her. For d singles u can do that to show some love to ur babe. Is just like a man going to the kitchen to cook when the woman is there. It is allowed.

Hmmm If only my wife can summon courage to visit fresh fish stand then i may stop driving down to the market a-times to buy fresh fish which is my Favorite. It scares my wife to hear the seller call 3k for one big fresh fish LOL!
