Hmmm, interesting. Sorry to hear that. Things like that don't usually end well. Just curious, would it have made a difference if she was a virgin? If so, then why?


No it wouldn't, I have dated ladies who are virgins(my Filipino included) and it didn't make it last longer or shorter. I brought up the virgin part because I wanted to explain a weired situation. It didn't bother me that I wasn't her first but I felt she had been violated after she did it during our time. Kinda weired feeling.

I'd like to apologize about a comment I made earlier on a previous thread. I misread, misquoted, and got it mixed up with something else. I hope you can accept my apology undecided.[/size][/font]

Awww, thanks. When it comes guys who cheat, this is my take on it. If a guy were to cheat on me, I wouldn't want him back. He [the guy] should have thought of the consequences before he cheated. Often times you see people crying and saying their sorry and I have come to realize that people tend to be sorry not for what they did but for the fact they were caught. And I don't believe in the whole "he/she cheated gotta get back at him" thing. That's not my style. He obviously didn't have me or our relationship in mind when he was stepping outside of the relationship. I don't have time to waste on a man that can't see my worth as a woman. I'd just give 'em the deuces and call it a day.

I know its not easy, but I don't want a man like that in my life. Plain and simple undecided. Emotions may be strong but I doubt I'd let it cloud my judgment.

Things like this happens in the western world. If i find a pack of condoms in my girls bag, i would ask her "wat d Bleep u doing with cds in ur bag? And if her answer is "none of ur business". Then she is outta my life. In my own opinion, its not right for a girl 2 b carrying condoms around in her bag when she no be "ashi". If she does, it means u aint d only 1 she is fucking around with. So i will stay clear of such chick. CAPICHE!!!
Re: Switching Roles/Shoe On The Other Foot by kaygenx123(m): 2:16pm On Oct 09, 2010

I want to apologize to the ladies on behalf of the men who may be caught up in the web of deceit and double standard from men

The standard should be the same

if she cannot try other girls neither can u


Apart from all this i see something else


i want to ask ladies a question

if u are dating a guy and u receive another dating/flirting/friendship request do u accept?

I ask because some girls may appear faithful because there are no other suitors coming her way

Thank you for your acknowledge of the issue. I appreciate it. As for your question, before I can answer you, I'd like to know what do you mean by friend request? Are you talking about Facebook or some other sort of social networking site? Once you clarify, I can you an proper answer.

Re: Switching Roles/Shoe On The Other Foot by kaygenx123(m): 1:25am On Oct 10, 2010
I strongly believe that once there is trust in a relationship, everything will work out fine. Some girls double date likewise some guys. Its just a its just a labyrinth of gender structures 2 me.

@inked.i beg to disagree Dat its a naija problem. U talked about naija men not lookin at relationshps n a western way. We are not western. Frm time past d african man has always been polygamous. Its not in our blood, Read my lips ALL African men are polygamous. Those of us who remain faithful. Make a very big, sometimes failed (Iol) effort to do so!

I never said it was a Naija problem. I said that the purpose of the thread was made based on my observations based on a thread I saw on NL and the responses that were written in the thread. I don't go around trying to bash my Nigerian men. I already know that there are bad people of all sorts bot male and female.

lol, I hear ya man but unfortunately some of us have allowed ourselves to believe that monogamy is the only acceptable form of a relationship. Are you actually into the idea of open relationships?

Honestly, I have no problem with it. I would just appreciate an open line of communication, honesty, and mutual understanding.

Supposed love[b]/[/b]coud my ašš!! [no offense]. I'm sorry but I just can't do it. I will admit, I may still have feelings for the person but I wouldn't want them back. I refuse to wretch my brain and heart by constantly worrying if the person is back to their old ways.

Hehehe, I hear ya. I can forgive but I can't forget. Besides, isn't giving her your trust [again] part of you forgiving her? Things like that [cheating] will remain in the back of my mind. I like to give it my all when I get involved in a relationship so to know that despite my all efforts that he would do step outside of the relationship, I would hurt. I may be abrasive when I speak but there are just some things that my heart cannot heal from cry. But anyway, I hear what you're saying wink.
Re: Switching Roles/Shoe On The Other Foot by xhosachoc(f): 10:19am On Oct 10, 2010
undecided I am not probably the best to comment on this issue,due to my own inadequacies,what the heck,i will comment anyway.

We have been brought up to believe that a relationship is a guarantee of enduring love,great sex,parenting etc  but the reality is usually very far from the expectation. Unfortunately the culture of cheating has pervaded our society ,the whole dysneyfication of relationships make me shudder.Unfortunately for us women,no matter how much we try to the ignore the fact,its a mans world.Men cheat all the time and if we did the same we get judged severely.I met my partner at a vulnerable young age and he told me he was single only for the opposite to emerge after having been in a relationship for months on end.

If my man had an emotionless fling i would probably forgive him whereas  a long term emotional affair would be a different issue all together.
