Everyone has their own idea of what romantic is. Some people find flowers and gifts romantic while others prefer a more abstract approach. Ideal romance doesn't exist in my opinion. cry

I'm gonna remember that. smiley

Rule #1: take things one day at a time.

I'm running out of time it feels like I'm doing 3 days worth of work at once. I just wish I could escape for a while. Let the world carry on while I sleep for several weeks. lol

i think some of them do not want to express it because it might potray them as weak. for example my hubby acts the same way, because he doesn't wanna show it all, and sometimes when he shows it, it is like a really sweet moment. so i sometimes wait for him to express his feelings b4 i express mine and he laughs because he knows i am waiting for him.
Re: Why Do Ladies Think That Nigerian Men Are Not Romantic? by A40(m): 1:17am On Oct 14, 2008
If i say this it would sound like i am being chauvinistic but i would say it anyway tongue.Nigerian Women are not that romantic either and that is why they have been equally paired and matched with unromantic Nigerian Men
Re: Why Do Ladies Think That Nigerian Men Are Not Romantic? by richo(m): 3:43am On Oct 14, 2008
niaja boys are not romantic! even the girls too! it was till i left naija i realized!
imagine for restaurant chic de give me hand to kiss, as she throw hand i ddnt even know what i was to do (like a bush man) embarassed
boys need to improve but even u girls u cant just fold ya arms and wait for "romantic" to possess ur guy its a 2way affair
Re: Why Do Ladies Think That Nigerian Men Are Not Romantic? by woodboi(m): 8:41am On Oct 14, 2008
well it all depend on what being romantic means to our ladies,i can read someone talking about flower,gift or card on this post. how many naija girl of today will except flower or card apart from re-charge card and if that is what romantic means to you girl's may i not be romantic for life, can someone say Amen to that(i might have send that couple of times sha).sincerely speaking being romantic is like a game you both understand,but how many relationship can you tell of today is by choice and not infleunced by situation.
Re: Why Do Ladies Think That Nigerian Men Are Not Romantic? by ibrokay(m): 9:01am On Oct 14, 2008
It depend on the real definition of beign romantic.As an African man you dont expect me dey Mumu arround carrying flowers and kissing a lady in public all in the name of civilization.Oyinbos culture is quite different from ours let them take to their culture and we hold on to ours
Re: Why Do Ladies Think That Nigerian Men Are Not Romantic? by ifihearam: 4:55pm On Oct 14, 2008
This topic reminds me of an incedence that happened last year,i was with a friend of mine when his fone rang and it happened to be his chik,they talked for about 2mins and the girl asked him if he was with any of his friends around him and he said yes and the girl requested speaking to his friend which happened to be me,the first speech i heard was(please teach ur friend how to be romantic,he is not romantic at all!!!!)i couldot help but LOL,so the line went dead and was still laughing,i was not laughing at him but at the girl because i wonder why on earth she thinks i am better than my friend.

Back to the topic,i can say Nigerian guys are not really romantic,but what is being romantic oerse,saying sweet words to ur girl by calling her my angel,my chocolate brown sugar,if she asks you for a favor,you ask her to bribe you with a kiss and stuffs like that.others see being romantic as playing with her in you room or house with both of you being naked,runnng around the house,whenever you go out you always buy her something no matter how cheap or expensive it might be.Thank you ladies and gentlemen.

Mehn, Ur been interesting so far and seriously speaking. whats all these argument about Nigerian men, what of the women? Most of them don't even know anything about romance, the only thing they consider romantic is getting fat gifts and all that, i believe it should be mutual instead of laying all the blame on men, , what do you all think undecided

I agree with you Intoto my brother with most Nigerian girls love and romance is one way traffic they don't usually believe they have equal roles to play in the game of love and romance

niaja boys are not romantic! even the girls too! it was till i left naija i realized!
I also have thesame experience too, i dated 2 naija guys befor i left naija, none of them know how to romance, they are only interested in puting the "thing" that is all LOL, i like kissing and been touched tenderly but i never felt it with them until i found hubby the really match of my sex life. Naija guys should wake up, no be only """"" be sex oooo.

Common Plap when u were dating the Nigerians you would have defined what your own definition of romance is,trust Nigerian Guys they will give you,Just that absence or silence make the hearth fonder

Re: Why Do Ladies Think That Nigerian Men Are Not Romantic? by omo99(f): 1:19pm On Oct 27, 2008
It is so true that romance is a two way thing, not just the guy buying things for the girl. Although that is what most Nigerian girls want because of our society and what we see which all boils down to our culture, the guy is the head and so he must do everything. I mean based on this own stereotype that goes on in 9ja you wouldn't expect the girl to do anything like go out and buy gift for the guy you might only expect her to cool some delicious food or something like that. ( that's our 9ja mentality) anyway! I believe to be romantic has to come from the heart first a close relationship with your respective other and then you start to feel comfortable and you start acting yourself. There is no reason for a guy to try and kiss a girls hand tease her by asking for a kiss before he does her a favor or all that stuff is just a matter or the people involved in the relationship feeling comfortable with each other and just acting themselves which in the long run is romantic to the other person because if we like who you are not what you have its romance. as least that's what i think!

A man can ONLY be romantic with the woman of his dream. If she is a seconds best, nothing for her!

Are u married or not? Then if not i hope you wont have to learn the hard way. Is not everything that you read in the novels or watch in movies that is applicable in real life

I have to agree that they are not romantic.  cry

But other things will make up for it wink

My husband once said that no african man is a gentleman. At heart this is not possible.
