@ topic

toronto to buffalo is about 2-3 hrs. I know that route.

Poster, since you say you've had guys drive you that same route in the past, then was this particular guy actually wrong with his statement.

You were thinking of your own convenience only while he looked at the bigger picture.

Boy friend, male friend, man friend, all are male and you didnt say any of your female friends drove you.

First of all, I didn't ask him to drop me off. Neither did I mention or disclose my previous drop offs. All I said was I planned to bus there. Shey, grayhound dey travel from Bay Street to BUF? Thus, in your mind (and his mind) where did you get "Going to America to visit my boyfriend[b]ssssssssssssssssssssss?[/b]) Naija men sef!! shocked shocked shocked

Second, why would my girlfriends commute such distance to drop me off? Abi, dem no get work? Dem no get boyfriends or ish to do? Bros, na wa for you ooo

Inked, don't mind that woman o. Check out these scenarios and tell me which is least desirable:

1. He watches his sports jeje, his team wins and he's very happy hence he shows that later by being all warm, gentle and tender (ermm, where's the cough button?)
2. He watches his sports jeje, his team losses and he's unhappy, but not at you, but then he's rough and 'ungentle' later (different flavor abi?)
   and then
3. You bore him to death with your stories and he's non-committal and absent-minded later.

which will you cross out immediately? Did I hear you say 3? You see?

At least he's not at some strip club or spilling his juices with some other woman. He's still there in the house with you. It's just like our Nigerian girls with their Nollywood. We let them be.

i do trust you're ok because your posts say otherwise.

eatme:
The drive from where I am to BUF is about 2hrs. [size=14pt]I've had guys do this for me in the past, so, why shouldn't he? [/size] And plus, I didn't ask him to give me ride, neither have I had to "ask" in the past. Well, at least not directly.

But lets not lose focus, lets get back on track. This isn't a one time occurrence, Nigerian men always do this to me. I give them a 5 sentence paragraph, and all they do is seek out one keyboard and construct a whole different story that is none related to my original paragraph.

lol I get your point but I'm not one to badger a guy like that. I'm into sports as well, so I could even join him. Even if its not a sport I like, I can bear it. Is the game going to go on forever? Most likely it won't. I can always find something better to do or take a nap while he watches his games. So, while all those scenarios seem possible it would never occur [well, number one could happen grin] but for the most part I just leave people when they need or want to be left alone. Even if his team lost, I'm sure I can "cheer" him up. . . Unless he placed a bet on the game, in that case that's something he should just deal with tongue. Me "cheering" him up is definitely something that the game can't give him grin wink

I'll share with you a bit of information on my family. When my dad is watching football [or any other sport], he's usually jumping, yelling, and hollering during the whole thing. Sometimes my mom ignores him. . . Other times, she joins him and hollers as well! She's not one of those people who nag about her guy watching tv. The only time I could ever see her really get in his face about watching a game is if she needed to discuss or address a very serious matter with him and he is looking the other way. Even in such a scenario, he is reasonable enough to listen to her. At times [not in all cases though] I think some girls make too much of a big deal over their guy watching a game and not paying attention to them. Us girls need to keep in mind that these are the same guys who at times accompany us to hair appointments, shopping trips [yes, I've seen the look on a man's face after hours of shopping], and chick flick [arrghh, I hate that term tongue], so for me I understand and can be quite nonchalant about these kind of things smiley


P.S.
I never bore my guys wink cool

Kettle calling pot black. Im sure the guy will have a different strange version of this story of a failed-attempt-at-making-a-maga-out-of-a-man Jerry Springer tale of yours. Women desperately want men to understand them fully but they desperately dont want to understand men at all.

Inked, don't mind that woman o. Check out these scenarios and tell me which is least desirable:


Why do you and other guys think I have that much power over girls on Nairaland?  Heffas don't listen to me many of the times and that's why they come online crying and ranting about the woes of their men.   cool   I do not need to put a disclaimer anywhere, if what I am advising is meaty enough to bite then so be, but if it isn't meaty then they don't have to bite.  Free will.   wink

There is a difference if a guy watches sports all the time and DO NOT SPEND ANY TIME with his girl than a guy who watches sports on Sundays and cater to his girl the rest of the week.  Which one do you think I was referring to when I said ignore him in bed?   wink

Inkie, you are right!  A sensible woman will only bother her man/husband if something is SERIOUS.  Oga Chima watches his matches and I do not bother him, he bothers me!   I am sure the men will come and cuss me out, but I don't find nothing exciting about a bunch of men in tights kicking balls across the grass to the goal posts then again, that's porn for the men.   lipsrsealed

lol lol lol, you don't have control over us. Female opinions and feelings are new to some men, so seeing a woman who can choose for herself if she want to open her mouth is like them realizing that the Earth isn't flat.

Speaking of Earth not being flat did you now that no one in the medieval/renaissance era actually thought that the Earth was flat? It's just a common historical error that people don't realize grin

Nice that you have spelled out what you meant. I agree with the bolded, almost. Sports time is not only on Sunday afternoon sha. But of course it isn't everyday either.

But on a serious note. We want our women to challenge us. Just not every step of the way. Know the right time to pick your battles. I would gladly defer if your views are weighter than mine. But you can't win ever battle and you have to accept taking the backseat on occasions.

No inference to you Btw. Just a general assessment.

Hmm mmm. You think you are slick. I got my chat eye on you.

Why do you think when I say challenge the men that I am talking about every little thing? Believe it or not there are intelligent women who knows when it is important to assert her opinions and when she just let it be.

Sometimes, you men say some of the stupidiest shit real talk but I feel that you are privy to your opinions so are the women. It goes both way that partners should sometimes take the backseat. Compromise and understanding GOES BOTH WAYS.

As I stated on another thread, without the neck the head is dead.

Which century do you think we're in? We were all born INTO feminism and women rights advocacy so we're used to women having their say. It's just that some women overdo things (on personal levels - what her man can bear) and trouble ensues. They forget that the man is still the HEAD of the home. You're welcome to have your say, but his say is final.
Women advocacy or not, if women understand and accept that the home will be more peaceful. Which is why you should be with a man you respect and who you think can make sound decisions in the first place.
