Inferiority complex? Nah! If you're actually in the UK and you can mess up the english language like this, e go better make you come home, cos you're wasting your life over there.


You see your problem, when I mentioned inferiority complex. I meant it in relation to English Language.

What if I did mess up English? My tutors have never complained so far about my essays and exams which by the way I take time to edit.

You could be right though, maybe I should come back home but the thing UK is also my home.

What do I do?

Really? My admission letter must have been mistakenly addressed to me. I must have cheated through my WAEC, IELTS and admission exams before I finally got to this university. Hmm, who could have known?

Would you like to have my passport and my ID

You know I can't leave them unused

The benefits that come with it must be tapped.

I met this beautiful girl last year on a public bus and she decided to give me her number. She is 22 years and a final year student of a major university. We have been texting and calling back and forth for the past 2 months and she told me she is single. I have been trying to woo her to be my girlfriend for over 2 months but she insist on us just been friends and she don't want a relationship.

I really like this girl and would love to date. but I feel like maybe she don't want to date me so yesterday I told her we should end our friendship because if she feels that am not good enough to date her then we shouldnt remain friends. I really don't want to waste another month trying to win her heart and later find out that she end up with another guy.

My last 2 previous relationships too me less than 2 weeks to woo my previous girlfriends so I am kinda surprise that after 2 months of trying to win her over she still insist on not dating me. At first, I thought maybe she was playing hard to get but I think 2 months is long enough.

My questions to nairalanders is how long should a guy try to woo a girl before giving up and moving on?

Say what..for what now..is she a drug undergoing preparations in the lab...lubbish

I am not a feminist grin

I am a Yoruba African lass : tongue

I am also a Muslim

Over the years I have realized that the reason we have issues with the position of women in the society is attributable to the West and its history.

I know my rights in Islam and in my traditional Yoruba setting. Those are the rights I focus on. I believe the guy is the head of the family and the woman primary role is to maintain the home. In fact I don't mind being in a housewife for the sake of my family. My problem is when people fail to realize that these roles are very flexible with the type of society were are in.

I may appear to be a feminist when I see men being inconsiderate because of a stereotypical view of women. Like the issue of polygamy, I hate being told that it is islamically acceptable do I have to agree to it when we all know it is not obligatory and God himself said the best is sticking to one wife. Yet some would see it as some sort of a birthright. Those kind of men to me are extremely selfish and I don't like extremely selfish people- to me they are simply not human.


And I am more of a nature person (over nurture). I believe in the natural order of things and its consequences but of course with common sense. Therefore I wouldn't mind the death sentence for a rapist. Anything that directly or indirectly violates anyone's integrity should be subject to the absolute consequence.

So tell me how can I be a feminist?

My issue with African men is this argument
‘our mothers were sunmissive and so you have to be submissive' submission in their context is basically unrealistic. I believe in being a submissive wife but in that context.

Have you ever died to examine the women roles over the years:

In those days A new marriage starts with a young child/teen moving in with the wife, even at that they will not move into one big house. Rather they moved into a big family compounds filled with many wives, children and teens. Obviously, some house chores would be shared. They did not have everything in excess. Grinding with their hands does not count as a chore ( used to that almost every weekend before I left for UK-it wasn't a chore then). The only thing that counted was farming which is still subjective. The women contributed to the upkeep of the home though may not be in the same proportion. The women could travel miles to trade while leaving the husbands asking for weeks.

When the colonial masters came, the men were mostly in employment- and the women took care of the home. Yet the practice of having a young family member or more was still the norm. And they did not have everything in excess.

So where did the youths of today get the notion that their ‘foremothers' did everything without breaking a sweat? I will tell you where

It was between after the colonial era and now


Today, basically both parents work, 9am-5pm. Yet most men would say the woman should be responsible the 100% maintenance of the house with everything in excess because the guy contributes 100% to the upkeep of the house. That they she say is not submissive. If her job requires her to travel here and there, they will also say she considers her job to be more important than her family.

Why can't we have that toe of family setting again?

Why would the man contribute 100% of his income, what's up with the wife's?

Why can't the wife ask habitually for her husband to help her out in the house of even allow him to choose what he would like to do?

If all these reasonings make me a feminist, so be it then

I agree with you that 2 months is a long time to woo a girl. This is why I decided to end our friendship and told her to stop calling and texting her. I think it takes a girl less than a day to decide if they would date a guy or not but some girls just like playing hard to get.

You made a mistake, firstly that was selfish on your part. Your action has revealed that the only reason you wanted to know her was to date her

To know is to love & the best way to know someone is thru friendship & not relationship, because in friendship pretense is reduced compared to when one is in a relationship

If she doesn't want to date you, remain friends with her, she might come around later, you might get another thru her or she might turn out to be a trusted, reliable friends with no strings attached

I get your point so well but to me, the girls are not to be blamed but the FOOLISH guys who keep chasing them for ages and giving them sense of entitlement and importance!

Any guy that chases a girl for more than one month (maximum) is either:

1. Jobless
2. Not lovable
3. Paranoid
4. Idle/lonely
5. Frustrated and unfocused
6. Partially insane

Or he has a bad mission; probably revenge.

No sane man should chase a girl for more than 1 week because that girl u are wasting time, effort and resources trying to convince to date u is dying for one guy somewhere to ask her out or she is being messed up, used mercilessly by one low-class guy somewhere, so why the hassle?

Guys are to blame

I never woo any woman for any length of time. If I find one interesting, I let her know that I find her interesting. She then gets one chance to respond suitably from there. If she does respond suitably, something may develope. If she does not respond in a suitable way, I move on to the next.

Life is too short to waste any of it trying to go where you aren't wanted. If you have to woo a woman for so long, it just means that she is not interested in you,
and you are too dense to realize it.. angry
