Hollywood is not realistic. Likewise all those childish romance novels that girls enjoy reading. Such lives are not replicated anywhere. Only a grossly immature person would fail to see this. 2 Likes |

I don't quite agree with you...don't generalise Nigerian men to be all the same.There are men and there are MEN.Half a dozen failure with men does not make them all bad.The problem is Hollywood and your novels are all make believe....so if your relationship doesn't tally with that you see it as failure.I can give my life and much more for love and am a Nigerian man. |

These day, it is movies, movies and movies. During my days in the university, it was novels. I read Denise Robbins' romantic books in those days. The advantage of novels is that the romantic influence on you lasts for as long as it takes you to finish reading the novel. But even then, I got to a point when I stopped exposing my youthful self to unrealistic romance and rather read spy and crime novels (James Hadley Chase, etc.). 1 Like |

You may think that Europeans (including European Americans) are romantic angels. But whenever I watch "Weakest Link" on BBC, I repeatedly hear a person being asked, " How many men have you married?", with the reply "My current husband is my fourth". Men also give similar answers. That is what unbridled romance causes in a society. 1 Like |

If I read this thing finish make I faint. But, based on the title - you can't generalize just because '2 and a half' guys you dated weren't romantic. There are a lotta guys like me (I'm not in Nigeria tho) out there who are really romantic Just hang in there. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hahaha. Hilarious. We are still romantic in our own way. If we take you to a beer parlour, is that not romance? [llquote author=Naijasinglegirl post=27060250]I spent the whole of yesterday evening watching hollywood romantic movies. When I was done, I wept for my single status all night. I felt like I deserve to be arrested for being single. These Hollywood guys know how to make love/ dating look so beautiful. The images I saw of them kissing, holding hands, looking into each other eyes, whispering sweet nothings (what does that mean anyway?) will surely keep me depressed for days. When this mood eventually fades, I'm going back to the best movies for single ladies, Horror Movies! As much as I admire those romantic nonsense, its difficult to practice them in Nigeria. Any girl/woman that complains her Nigerian boyfriend/husband is not romantic is simply callous. Ladies, are you still looking for a guy that's gonna spread red roses on the bed every night? Have you seen red roses before apart from hibiscus flowers? You still want to fall asleep with romantic candles around your bed like its a deliverance session? Do you know its really difficult, time consuming and expensive to be romantic in this country? I know why I'm asking these questions. I've been there and as usual, I'm here to share my experiences. Aside the two and a half men I dated, they were several quarters I had. I choose to call them quarters (I'll refer to them as Loverboys in all my posts) because I never said yes to their relationship proposal. At the same time I got jealous whenever they were around other girls. I guess loneliness and fear of heartbreak were responsible for this my despicable behaviour. Back then I had stacks of mills&booms novels. I loved Jack & kate kind of love. I was a die hard fan of Romeo & Juliet. A couple of times, my obsession with the above characters had me speaking old English to my male admirers. I wondered which guy would paint me nude like it happened in Titanic without drugging and raping me afterwards. I also liked how Jack in Titanic died for Kate like a real man making it look like death is nothing. I wondered which Nigerian guy would volunteer to die for me. I wanted to experience those things I read so bad... My first fantasy was to lie by a natural waterside with my lover while we tell ourselves 'sweet nothings'. We might even strip and dive into the water like it happens abroad. Then I remembered Loverboy like most Nigerian men has a big tummy full of fufu. The pressure of the 15kg of fufu in his tummy might just drown him. Aside that, my enemies might be lurking around with camera phone waiting to take my nudes. Okay, no diving! We'll just lie by the waterside. I thought of a suitable beach we could visit. No idea so I googled the words 'lying down with boyfriend in a Nigerian Beach' Results: -Two dead bodies found lying in Elegushi Beach, aftermath of severe tide. -Boyfriend machetes girlfriend to death at a popular beach in Lagos -A dead fish suspected to be shark found at Beach in Nigeria -Birthday party turns mourning ground as a final year undergraduate of UNILAG drowns in Beach. Arrgghhh!!!! Bad news in beaches. Water might even wash us away while we are busy whispering sweet nothings. I didn't want a situation I'll lie on the beach sand with my lover only to open my eyes to see him in hell while I'm chilling in heaven. LOL Whatever happened to those sort of cool deaths that ends with car chases, explosions in slow motion and several police helicopters hovering around one body? I thought of going for rivers. River Niger was the only River I could think of. It means we are gonna drive down all the way to Onitsha just to lie under bridge like refuges just because I want to experience romance? The government even said Niger Bridge might collapse soon. What if it collapses on our head while we are busy whispering 'sweet nothings'? How am I going to explain what we were doing to Angel Gabriel when I arrive at heaven's gate? I don't even want to mention all the disgusting refuse by River Niger and other 'yama yama'. Love is not that serious so I ruled out rivers. Okay I was going to settle for streams, I thought. I called a friend that stays in the outskirts of town to enquire if I could visit their village stream for 'romantic purposes' ''My dear, you can go o BUT you are at your own risk o! I heard that's where they do sacrifice to gods. Aside that, there is a harmless python that...'' ''Okay okay okay! I don't want to hear more'' I cut her off at the mention of the word python. How am I going to explain the snake bites to my parents all in the name of romance? Lying by the waterside in Nigeria✗ Since every romantic idea I though of didn't seem feasible, I tried out taking a long walk with Loverboy late in the evening while we held hands. This should be easy and there are no risks, I thought. Loverboy reluctantly agreed to that just to satisfy me. We walked for thirty minutes till we got to a grassland. ''Dear, let's lie on the grass and count the stars just like Nala and Simba did in The Lion King'' I suggested. I mean if mere Lions could be that romantic, Nigerian men have no excuse! I was such a hypocrite to suggest that reasons; 1, Watching or counting the stars is BORINGGGGGG especially when there's no suya to munch away. 2, I hate counting anything if its not money. 3, I am extremely poor in mathematics. Loverboy might dump me right there when he realises I don't know how to count anything from 11 above. Luckily for me they were only seven visible stars that night. I was safe. Everything was going on well until sand flies gate crashed our little party. I must have murdered over fifteen sand flies. Then I heard him scream. ''What's that Loverboy?'' ''Its papa o, it has bitten my nose'' The boss of insects has arrived, I thought. I hope you all know 'papa' is that annoying little insect that is always in a bad mood. ''Let's go home.'' I felt bad Loverboy was in so much pain. We started the long walk back. A few metres walk and we heard a deep voice "Who goes there?'' Arrrgghhh!!! Nigerian agberos won't even let someone be romantic in peace. Two huge agberos walked up to us. One of them brought out a knife ''oya give me your phones'' Luckily for me I was not with a phone. He took Loverboy's phone and ordered us to run like Lot's wife without looking back. The next day, Loverboy boy's swollen nose from the insect bite reminded me of the pyramid of Egypt. One look at him and I vowed never to force a Nigerian man to be romantic. visit Naijasinglegirl's blog @ http://www.naijasinglegirl.net[/quote] |

Odunharry:Romance should be "as the spirit leads." No need for couples to do whatever is uncomfortable just because some folks on another continent are doing the same thing. A couple cooking ewedu soup together, sounds romantic. 1 Like |
