Internet Bragging, Does It Expose You Or Gain You Attention? by pinkrex(m): 6:54pm On Mar 05, 2011
I wonder why some peepz go way out of line to supply their private life's details just to gain attention or ovation. Like; I live in a duplex, I have five cars, I earn this in a month bla bla even when its not important. I think its absurd but I realised people do that on NL, I want your inputs on this threas please,

Its childish. Well, NL has got no child restriction!

If it doesnt interest me, then i dont care unless you get in my face.   But sometimes reading about other people's experiences is interesting. Isnt that the point of biographies and such.  It all depends i guess.
Re: Internet Bragging, Does It Expose You Or Gain You Attention? by pinkrex(m): 10:03pm On Mar 05, 2011
Biographies you said, not autobiographies. Why should you brag about whatever u have? Some NL babes are good with that, bragging with all their bussiness and exposing themselves to an internet of uncountable users. Is it really fun?
Re: Internet Bragging, Does It Expose You Or Gain You Attention? by Nobody: 11:42pm On Mar 05, 2011
actually, i dont know.

people say a lot of things both on the web and in real life.

anyone who wants to brag should brag- i dont really care as long as i have other things to do and you're not jumping on me with it.

i can read a book, watch tv, weed the front yard, or whatever.

that's one thing i like about growing up in nigeria- i had so much to do that i didnt have time to wonder what i should be bragging about, or what others were bragging on.

when you have to fetch water, walk a few miles here and there, sweep here, scrub there, get crushes, study for exams, etc, bragging or what someone is bragging about, doesnt take priority. I guess that's the mindset i have now.




but nowadays when most people are more comfortable maybe they brag more- i dont know.

however, it does pay to be careful because the listeners might take such things in another way.

I like reading the "bragging stuff" often times, when people brag --- they don't have it. They only wish they did. So they come on the internet to falsely pretend ---- all that aside, I still enjoy reading. REAL or FAKE --- some folks here and terrific writers.

One guilty one just poked me on another thread claiming I made d thread cos of her.
Re: Internet Bragging, Does It Expose You Or Gain You Attention? by obowunmi(m): 7:13am On Mar 06, 2011
Lol --- imagine the feeling of utmost importance, "started the thread because of her." Hehehe!
Re: Internet Bragging, Does It Expose You Or Gain You Attention? by pinkrex(m): 7:47am On Mar 06, 2011
Abeg c me c wahala ooo. Its dat Mzdskn lady. Don't even care more about her on NL but she's a student freestyling with d bad English she's been taught is skool.
Re: Internet Bragging, Does It Expose You Or Gain You Attention? by InkedNerd(f): 10:20am On Mar 06, 2011
@OP: I will admit, I do talk about my personal life but not in the manner you described and its not for attention. I talk about my life both off and on NL so its not a big deal to me. Some people come here to escape or get away from the realities of their actual life. Some don't like the life they lead so depicting themselves in the manner that is unlike that of their actual life gives them some sort of importance. I guess it depends on the specific individual. Those are just my two cents on the whole thing undecided
Re: Internet Bragging, Does It Expose You Or Gain You Attention? by pinkrex(m): 10:42am On Mar 06, 2011
On point! I noticed you always d first or last on every active thread(no offense pls) but hvnt seen you bragging niway. Some peepz come here to declare their asset without been askd to.
Re: Internet Bragging, Does It Expose You Or Gain You Attention? by Nobody: 10:47am On Mar 06, 2011
In my own opinion I think its childish but there can be exceptions for those that brag and they have the bragging right!

The first or last? Hmmm, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Just wondering.

agree with the bold.
and even if we have, is there any star price for flaunting on NL.

@OP
I have been on NL a while now I cant say I have seen any one come here to brag openly about personal assets and the like. Nigerians are way too sophisticated for that. Pple frequently brag about dikc size and the like-I mean who wouldnt want to talk when u have a 14-inch monster in your pant when guys with 7 inches are all over the place.

Having said that I think the person with serious issues here is the opening poster. You have been here with less than a 100 posts and you are already judging pple. You need a moment of introspection. I think you have a deep seated internal conflict bordering on prejudice and envy that you need to confront.

I have seen a few pple on this forum who genuinely want to help out in certain situations whether the issue is about property or vehicles by making reference to personal experience. I dont see how that counts as bragging. A thread like this is in any case pointless without one or two valid examples. If you mean what you say lets have one or two examples otherwise be very quiet. Thanks.
