most, dont view women as an equal partner but rather as someone who should never have more "power" than them in the relationship.
if a man has a successful wife then HE is successful but they never see it like that and rather look down upon this idea!

Please galfriend, drs a distinction between "men" and "MEN". When u meet real men, u will find out dt it does not rili matter. Personally I prefer up and doin smart women.They r fun and entertaining 2 b wit. Actually if u r not, I drop u pronto.

MRbrownJAY:

it all depends where you live. in the real world, men are dying for such women but in 9ja they are mostly frown upon when it comes to marriage.
like the previous poster said, its all about control OR RATHER insecurity!

just read the many threads on NL about men asking if its RIGHT for a wife to earn more than a husband, if its RIGHT for a wife to make her own decisions in marriage, if its right for a wife to build her own house etc

as for the ones who use the bible words for words to define a union in 2010, they have seriously lost the plot!

Thats the order of the day, you should have a degree but should stay away from a masters or a PHD just to cater to low-self-esteemed egos.

Onchedu:

As naturally rebellious and high minded as most women tend to be and how difficult it is for most to tame those xtics, U can imagine how much harder it is when a woman takes that she lacks nothing and doesn't need a man for more than intimacy and anything else she wants from him, then add pride to the list and try living with that.

Donvilo:

This guy.
Somehow, u always (although not always but almost) seem to be right in most of your contributions. Hope that's actually u, infront of that screen, talking or just some sort of an alter ego taking over from. But anyway all the same, am impressed.
U haven't been around for a while.  Where hav u been? Heard u mentioning to pro01 something about them (moderators) banning u?

MRbrownJAY:



if you judge by the "discussions" (some might misread it as arguments) i have on NL, then i am pretty sure my views aint seen as right by many but thats the beauty of NL, we can all share our views about life.

what i write is how i feel people should live their lives and i am just putting my point of view across. this is how I live my life or would if placed in that scenario.

by the way, if YOU think that i am "right" therefore we share the same views . . . . . . . .then why dont you write openly how you feel too about these subjects and share that with our NL peeps?!

MRbrownJAY:

then why dont men take women they can "handle" instead of going for the women you mentioned and expect them to submit or lower themselves to YOUR level?!

Really, each & every one of us is FREE to share his or her own views with other peeps. It's one of the very things that makes the world go round(not only in NL). So u do not need to worry about that bro, am not really against that neither am I against u. Just that am trying to let u know that most of my views are almost in the same line with urs. So which means, that we're supposed to be allies, right? And really, I don't hide my opinions (which i knew very well that it's gonna help some a lot) from peeps. Besides, i tend to be the openminded-type.
Like I said earlier, each & every one is entitled to his or her own views. I doesn't matter how one decides to put it.
