Also blame the father. Because if a child does not listen to his mother, he usually listens to his father.
If a man cannot control his child and teach him how to respect and treat women right, then he ain't a real man.
There's a different between being a father and being [i]called [/i]a father.

Wa shey orire ore mi. I could not have put that better if I tried.

Treetop20:

i even forgot to say that you lasses
are quick to say that we are not romantic

Sapphic:

Believe me, as ignorant as you may think the lasses are, they are light years ahead of the blokes.

Treetop20:

oh plz
not this bloke

Sapphic:

So you believe that you are more romantic than all Naija girls?

Sapphic:

You assumed right. But with your definite reply, I wanted to know how gr8 you thought you were. What is the most romantic thing you have done for your girlfriend (be honest pls), and when was the last time you did anything romantic & what was it?

Treetop20:

this is a personal question i will choose
not to answer on a public forum

Sapphic:

Do you know anyone personally here? or Does anyone know who you are?
Moreover, I did not ask for any sleazy details of God-only-knows-what. If we are talking romatic, then it is not something that should cause embarrassment. But Okay, you are entitled to withold whatever info makes you uncomfortable.

Treetop20:

thanks love
i could talk about things i would do for a woman

Sapphic:

Abeg no come quote one textbook or romantic film jargon for me o.

HeatFusion:

what's the diff between what you'll do and what you've done? they're both personal.
Might as well talk about neither of them

Sapphic:

Treetop20:

heat fusion and romance do not go together

Treetop20:

lol even if i did you will not know the difference!

Sapphic:

No. I may not know the difference because I do not know you personally, nor do I know what you are capable or incapable of. however, you do. And seated in front of your computer, you know in your heart whether or not you are really romantic. Forget the crap many write on here, at the end of the day, you know who you are and you are not fooling me because it does not matter to me one way or the other (but it must to a person if he/she feels the need to lie to make their actions seem better or more acceptable to readers).

Sapphic:

Yes! But who do you think you have fooled? Definitely not me, cos I couldn't care less one way or the other. But YOU on the otherhand will know that you are so pathetic that you had to resort to lies to make you look good.

Treetop20:

that is my point all along
you will not know the difference!
i may well copy it from somewhere and paste it here
romance comes naturally when you really love someone
and that is that really. i may not write poetry on nairaland
but i could for the girl out there who i feel that way for

Treetop20:

i am tickled to bits!
make myself look good for someone i do not know?
what is in it for me? common man!

Sapphic:

So you really do not know until you find or are with "that girl"

Treetop20:

*sigh*

People do it all the time. ^{(To make their persona seem much more attractive to anyone reading)}

Sapphic:

It is indeed subjective. Many times, it is not the magnitude of the act, but the very gesture. However, there are somethings that make many people sigh with longing generally, like when a woman narrates how her boyfriend proposed and you jear a collective sentimental "aaah". Another woman's proposal may have been just as romantic to her but people might snigger. Generally though, when the tree man said he generally thought that he was more romantic than Naija girls on average, i wanted to know why he thought that.

example
i told heatfusion the other day that
i could buy her perfumes(ie suggest really nice ones i know and once she tries it out and likes it, buy them) for her
and also buy her clothes as well ( i know she will like it too)
she said she'd rather buy her own stuff
