ubunja:
this is one of the passages that woke me up fully. Mark "Facebook" Zukerberg's wife put the truth so plainly its a wonder why most guys dont get it.


women give their best 10 yrs (17 to 27) to the Badboys and their worst 10 yrs (27 to 37) to the Nice Guys they marry just before they hit 40. but men are trained to give their worst 10 yrs to porn as they struggle to get laid while building their lives in their 20s; then they must give their 10 best years to the women they will marry at 35 when everything in their life is finally coming right. guys in their mid 30s are at the prime of life. career,flat, car. instead of seeking a fresh 19yr old gal to enjoy they are bullied (by being called Pedophiles or too chicken to deal with women their age) into hooking up with used up, tired mid 30s women with boobs that touch the floor and bums that are porridge. women dont want men at their worst during their 20s but want them at their best in their 30s. its not fair.no man under 35 must marry, and when he marries he must not marry a girl over 21. teenage to early 20s girls and mid 30s guys are a match made in heaven. each has what the other wants.the man needs a fresh body for his babies ,and the girl needs a matured man who can provide. its a blessed union.a union that makes older women mad as hell and want to kill a man.LOL grin
My new motto is, "catch dem young". Anything above 23 is a problem for me now. I need standing, stubborn breasts in my life right now.

Let me just leave this quote by Sheryl Sandberg here:

When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them. The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.


After doing all sorts of freaky shît with her bad boy lovers, she will stingily sprinkle vapid, missionary sex in the relationship upon her slack pûssy

very true. the hand that rocks the craddle controls the world. no man grows into something his mother didnt intend or wish.
and single mothers raise most Nice Guys coz they are forever saying to their sons :" dont grow up to be like your father." " respect women" . and from that time a boy's mind is biased to seek the welfare of women above his own.
Exactly.

When ever a thread is created & majority of ladies do not agree with it...Just know there are some elements of truth in it....& If all the ladies agree with a post, know there is a problem with that post...That was how God created them, always saying & wanting opposite of what is good for them....No be their fault, it is their nature...Ever wonder why Eve would leave the numerous fruits in d garden to go for what God warned her against?

Op like u rightly said, nice guys please women, but not only women, but men inclusive
The causes of being a nice guy may not necessarily stem out from the points u stated
Temperament is a major influence...
But in as much as i agree with your post, there is difference between helping a lady without any attachment, same way u will help a brother & helping a lady to get laid...
Personality is majorly shaped by life experiences from about a year old. One would need a major jarring experience for them to have a lasting change of perosnality.
RomanceRe: UBUNJA's MISEDUCATION: post removed by Belafonte(m):
NightHound:
Nice guys are created when parents instill proper values into their sons. When they teach them to value and respect people - women as well as men. When they teach them that denigrating another person does not make them taller or smarter or richer.

Nice guys aren't necessarily people pleasers. They give people respect when it is returned; and distance when it is not.

Many women may not appreciate nice guys early on in life; but eventually, when they learn to value themselves, they learn to appreciate someone who treats them right.
You can have the right values, live by them and still not be nice. It is not bad to not be nice. The only thing anybody owes anybody is to be fair to them. You can respect women and not be nice. If I refuse to stand up for a woman to sit, it doesn't mean I dont have the right values. I just don't give a shit.

LadyMarionette:
But I am a true woman, how else am I to speak? All human beings are inherently selfish and self-serving as individuals. Altruism is not of the self/individual. If I look out for the interest of men who are looking out for themselves, who's going to look out for women?

It's self evident that the older a case the harder it gets to prove. Unless there is significant technological advancement that can help solve it. The courts will maintain their integrity by ensuring a conviction is only reached when the prosecution has proven its case beyond all reasonable doubt.

Cheers to you too.

pedrilo:
I agree with OP, love is a scam in this part of the world, maybe due to poverty or greed. But hypocrites will argue this truism
Not just in this part of the world, every man on every continent is waking up to the lies that romantic love has peddled for centuries. At this point in our evolution where women are clamouring for 'equality', it would be foolish to only give to them and not take back. There always has to be balance.

LordKO:
It can only take an insightful person - not an academic person that lack insight - to know that there's a very tiny but big difference between the adjective words transactional and contractual. Actually, I don't always like to engage any academic person that lack insight (articulate incompetent) in dialogue, especially in a forum like this.

Peace out.
Out of point. Don't let the door hit you as you tuck tail and bail.
RomanceRe: Relationships Are Transactional: Love Is A Fraud by Belafonte(op): 3:09pm On Dec 03, 2017
LordKO:
"Fixed price." Well, the crux of all transactional agreements are materialism, while the crux of contractual agreements, especially in the area of a healthy romantic relationship, are immaterialism -betrothed. This is akin to unconditional vs selflessness love.

Meanwhile, a process is different from an end - especially good end. A process has no value of its own, only its end/result always determine its value. This is about your scam question.
Your argument in your first paragraph is sophistical, especially with the part in bold. If a transaction and a contract mean the same thing then that mean the same thing and each factor affecting one affects the other. To claim otherwise is to be fraudulently semantic. If the crux of a transactional relationship is materialism, them the crux of a contractual relationship is also materialism, because of the simple reason that they both mean the same thing. Hence, I could extrapolate using your logic that the crux of a transactional relationship , especially in the area of a healthy romantic relationship are immaterialism. grin
Also, when you begin to qualify love with such adjectives as unconditional and selfless, you get a sense that there are, in fact, different versions of love. Unfortunately, when dealing with others possessing unconditional and selfless love may very well be injurious, and it is only wise to protect oneself from being used and taken for granted.

The idea of a process is to maximise efficiency. Thus, if a better, superior process is discovered the hitherto leading process is jettisoned for the better. When, however, the old process is faulty and is still forced upon the elements of a process it is, for all intents and purposes, a scam.
RomanceRe: Relationships Are Transactional: Love Is A Fraud by Belafonte(op): 12:16pm On Dec 03, 2017
LordKO:
Love isn't a scam.
Yeah, right.

However, it's one potent mechanism disingenuous people easily uses to scam others who're either unsuspecting or outright gullible.
Is there anything that people don't get scammed with?

Also, relationship isn't transactional at best it's contractual, and a healthy one of it is beneficial.
A contract is a business arrangement for the supply of goods or services at a fixed price. How is that different from a transaction, bros?

RomanceRelationships Are Transactional: Love Is A Fraud by Belafonte(op): 11:03am On Dec 03, 2017
A Transaction, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is "a business deal : an occurrence in which goods, services, or money are passed from one person, account, etc., to another".

For those who 'love' as a thing, the title of this thread would be scandalous, even disgusting. But for those who have dated and 'loved' and taken stock of their past relationships, this title just is common sense.

How many times have you felt hard done by after a breakup, because you felt you gave more than you received? The relationship was a net loss to you. How many times have you felt guilt after a breakup because you know you didn't do right by your ex? Assuming you have a conscience, you know sometimes, you have really not been as generous with your 'love' as you could.

For a relationship to be considered worthwhile, there has to be corresponding benefits to those we offer, otherwise, resentment begins to creep in signalling, perhaps, the dying process of the relationship.

What Men Should Bring To The Table:
In order of importance, they are :-
1. Finances
2. Protection
3. Offspring

What Women Should Bring To The Table:
In order if importance:-
1. Sex
2. Loyalty
3. Offspring
4. A stable home

The lists are by no means exhaustive, they merely point to what each gender desires in a mate/relationship. 'Love' or the idea of it isn't as important as people think when a relationship transaction is carried out. It is simply a nice thing to have.

When next you think of committing long term to a relationship, think of the future benefits of that relationship. Is the relationship one you want to keep for life? If it were to end today, what would your gain be? Would it be worth it committing to this person or that?

Critically examining these factors and going by the answers they present should greatly reduce the risk of being in the wrong relationship for you.

Shalom.
CelebritiesRe: Shan George Meets US Police Officer Who Hailed Nigeria Police Force (Photo) by Belafonte(m): 1:50pm On Dec 01, 2017
I keep saying this, the Nigeria Police Force is a direct reflection of the Nigerian society. Whatever we think of our police force, they are a product of us, the Nigerian society. Many of us would scoff at the idea of joining the NPF, but would do nothing to help them do their jobs better and even misappropriate funds meant for their improvement.

One thing is for sure though, Nigeria will get it right as time goes by. Kudos to the NPF.

The rapid deterioration of moral values in Nigeria is alarming to say the least.

Few months back, ritual killing was the order of the day.
After a short while, that changed to kidnapping / robbery. After much, domestic abuse became the order of the day.

Now, the evil has upgraded to a new trend of rape and beg.

What next nigeria? Can it get any worse?
There is a less obvious but more problematic issue of a growing inability to reason.
Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo And Daddy Freeze Exchange Words Over Tithing by Belafonte(m): 10:46am On Dec 01, 2017
Khaliyah:
Last night, God's servant, Dr Paul Enenche of Dunamis exposed the truth of tithing pointing out how Jesus endorsed in
Matt 23:23 says New Living Translation
"What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but
you ignore the more important aspects of the law--justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things. King James Bible
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment,
mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. The passage shows that Jesus endorsed tithing but rebuked tithing in iniquity, so we should tithe!
*You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.* (NLT)
Excerpts from the teaching: WHAT IS THE TITHE ABOUT?
1. The Tithe is one-tenth of a person’s income
2. The Tithe existed before the law of Moses (Gen. 14:18-20; 2Cor. 9:6-7)
The Tithe did not come with the law of Moses so it cannot go with the law Moses. It existed far before the law and will continue to exist far after the law.
3. The Tithe did not begin as a commandment, it began as a Kingdom principle delivered by revelation (Gen. 14:18-20)
Nobody told Abraham to tithe, it was revealed to him by God 4. Kingdom principles and revelations are universal in application (Mark 13:37)
Time does not change Divine principles and revelations (Gen. 17:1; Matt. 5:48; 2Cor. 13:11)
6. Tithing was confirmed and commended by the Master in the New Testament (Matt. 23:23; Luke 11:42; Lev. 27:30)
7. The Tithe was validated by Paul the Apostle in the New Testament [Heb. 7:1-8]
www.nairaland.com/4197688/paul-enenche-gospel-truth-tithe
But tithing was never about income was it? Do you mind showing where tithing based on income was prescribed in scriptures?

Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo And Daddy Freeze Exchange Words Over Tithing by Belafonte(m):
Why is Ashimolowo making ad hominems attacks? Shouldn't he show from scripture how Freeze is wrong? He can't just say God expect Christians to pay tithe without corresponding scriptural backing. Show where it is written in the Bible. Period.

if any single 32 year old lady sees this she'll just yinmu at your naivité.

as a single man people assume you are struggling for financial security before u settle while a single 32 year old lady will be fed up of unsolicited advices on how her clock is ticking, some will even say its a spiritual problem.
the pressure drives women to marry guys that arent marriage worthy.
Suitors dwindle fast for women as they age. The time for a woman to marry is at her peak when the best men are seeking her hand in marriage. Delaying marriage till she's old and approaching menopause isn't exactly wise. Society pressures women to marry while their young because they understand this truth. And there's nothing spiritual about it because guys will always go for the younger woman, not the one with nîpples facing her toes.

Women marrying guys not worth it is because that is usually the best they can do at that time. You seriously think a woman would marry a guy who isn't worth it if one better is toasting her? Now who's naive?
