seunwen2: my tecno m7 rocks i can compare it with Samsung galaxy note cos of the face unlock but this thread dey funny oooo can't stop laughing

Chai...I no wan insult you.

Segeggs: Yoruba language is the best in africa.

Says someone who till has to type in English to pass his message across. We africans like to brag about utterly useless things. Other races are making technological breakthroughs left, right and center every now and then. You are on here on nairaland ranting and spewing rubbish about how your tribe is better than another (with nothing to show for it other than baseless sentiments).

P.S: Hausa has more speakers globally than yoruba.

Sentiments aside, English, french, chinese, german, spenish and the likes will make you more relevant globally. Our so called local dialects will not even make you relevant in Nigeria as a whole, but just among your few tribal people. I do not see mobile phones, tvs, PCs, etc programmed in nigerian languages. Believe me, the language technology speaks is what is relevant.

carefreewannabe: Today women have to look anorexic, have fake teeth, fake hair, fake boobs etc etc to be considered beautiful.

People are brainwashed by fake images shown by the media.

What do you expect from a society that puts premium on beauty? What a shallow generation.

ruffcoins: I use ma head earned data to download heavy games on my s2 and wen i try playing dem it requires internet access to play anytin I cud do about it?

LoL

Yield: Interesting. Good read.

Stereotypes are definitely increased by categorization.
Categorization is caused by prejudice and discrimination.

Yeah, trrue that.

Idowuogbo: Profile stalker, howdy?

Why is there even a profile/ profile pic if its not ment to be viewed or when viewing it attaches the stalker tag to one? Doesn' make sense.

We cling to an eager, helpless belief resembling religiosity in the endless litany of rules concerning how we should and shouldn’t look.
Sometimes I think letting myself be ugly is one of my biggest accomplishments. Which makes it sound like I will most likely not go on to win the Nobel Prize at anything (hey, it remains to be seen—you never know).

As a kid, I thought that I was gorgeous, in part because girls were always gorgeous in books and movies, so I figured that was an important part of the whole girl thing. I figured that I was probably the real deal. Even little girls in books are often described as beautiful. Beautiful is a sizable part of being sweet. Of being saucy. Of being a girl sleuth. And of course, I could picture myself as a saucy girl sleuth, both with and without the floppy hat.

So it was a serious invasion, defeat, and colonization of my entire identity when it occurred to me that I might not be beautiful after all, and later, when I realized with dawning horror that everything was definitely wrong with the way I looked.

The main problem with beauty for girls is that it gets conflated with just about every other good thing. Even the nerdy, smart girls we gratefully identify within our favorite books get played by typically lovely actresses with shiny hair, slender limbs, and delicate, even features. It’s OK to be endearingly dorky, as long as you can transform into an angelic vision of ideal femininity the moment you put on a prom dress.

We love it when beautiful, famous people tell us that they were an outcast, a dweeb, a rebel. Look at them now! It’s all so sweet and humanizing! They might even be people, too!

But what if you take the beauty out of the equation? What if the nerdy girl is truly awkward-looking? What if the spirited, impertinent girl is also very fat? What if the gentle, sensitive girl has a big, beaked nose and lots of acne? What if none of these characters have clear, pale skin, round eyes and hair that ranges between white blonde and shimmering chocolate brown?

Well, then that’s real life.

But so many of us go into it poorly prepared. We go into it hoping desperately to look like the girl who was made for a prom dress. We go into it panicking at our faces in the mirror, our alien bodies with their strange, maverick goals involving the sprouting of thick arm hair and the inappropriate placement of fat in areas where Taylor Swift would never dream of having any.

We go into it already fighting a losing battle that will involve over-funded armies of cosmetics and a legion of too-expensive haircuts. We cling to eager, helpless belief resembling religiosity in the endless litany of rules concerning how we should and shouldn’t look.

We put ourselves through the never-ending string of almost-diets and listen to the persistent, perfectly audible voice that presides over all things food-related that murmurs, “You shouldn’t have eaten that. You really shouldn’t have eaten that. Now you can’t eat anything tomorrow—if you have any self-respect.” And then, when you eat just as much the next day, it’s reading off this prepared speech about how your lack of self-control is obviously the reason why you suck so much, in general.

Ugh, what a prison being a girl can be.

What a colossal, constant trap.

I felt like I’d stolen the key off of one of the wardens, the day I looked in the mirror, felt massively unattractive and didn’t care.

The day they told me I needed another nose job. A third one, because he’d messed up the first and then the second hadn’t fixed it. The day the NYC surgeon in his glassed office overlooking the world told me that I was pretty enough anyway, but that it would really “help.” That I should sign up now. And I said no and then I left feeling utterly ugly and weirdly free. I walked 50 blocks, reveling in my freedom. I felt like I could walk anywhere. I am ugly, I thought. I have a big, ugly nose, and it doesn’t even matter. I am awesome. We’re taught that these ideas are so essential: beauty, ugliness. They are the things that are supposed to be us. They feel so large sometimes that there isn’t room for the rest. Beauty, success. Ugliness, failure.

God, I’m thankful for the ugly days when I am busy with my life. When I catch a vaguely disappointing glimpse of myself in the subway window and keep feeling good anyway. When I look bad in everything I try on and I am in love with this chapter I’ve just written.

When I am full of my own potential, and the promise of the rest of my life, the knowledge I’ll acquire, the sense that I’m making progress and, if anything, the clumsiness of my appearance is sort of compelling. I am a quirky, interesting woman. I look quirky and interesting, too. I have a nose that wouldn’t give in. I have a lot of other stuff going on.

It’s not just about beauty—it’s about letting yourself not care about beauty. It’s about being comfortable with the occasional ugly day. About taking the corrosive, toxic helplessness out of unattractiveness and replacing it with moving on. It’s about the fact that everyone has ugly days, where nothing looks right and it’s impossible to imagine that it ever did or ever will, but they don’t have to mean anything more than not looking good.

Because there are women detectives who aren’t ridiculously hot and there are nerdy girls who look awkward in a prom dress but kick ass at physics. And there is so much more to being alive than being pretty. All of it, actually.

All of the rest of it. Adventures and passionate love and brilliant research and delicious food and the steady struggle and satisfaction of getting better at something, and impacting other people’s lives and creating something new and cool. Rollercoasters. Waterfalls. Those awesome old falling-apart globes that they sell at flea markets.

I am ugly, I thought, on my 50th block. I can be anything.

The physical attractiveness stereotype is a term that psychologists use to refer to the tendency to assume that people who are physically attractive also possess other socially desirable personality traits. Stereotyping is the process by which we draw inferences about others based on knowledge of the categories to which they belong.

Many studies (Dion et al., 1972; Miller, 1970) have found that people tend to think that more attractive people are also happier, outgoing, successful, kinder and have many other positive traits. In less-individualistic cultures, beautiful people are assumed to have traits that those cultures value, such as concern for others, loyalty and integrity. (Dion et al., 1972）Wheeler and Kim (1997) found that university students in Korea saw beautiful people as more trustworthy and concerned for others.But they did not share the North American university students' bias towards perceiving beautiful people as more self-assertive and dominant than less attractive people. This can be seen in myths and fairy tales as well as films throughout history. The 'goodies' are young and beautiful whereas the 'baddies' are ugly. Previous studies have found a recognition bias for information consistent with the physical attractiveness stereotype.

The stereotype acts as a self-fulfilling prophecy where the perception of attractive people as more valuable members of society leads to their receiving preferential treatment, positive feedback and tangible benefit. Studies have found that attractiveness does correlate positively with some traits such as personal income, social skills and self-confidence. This cognitive bias could be considered to be a specific kind of halo effect.

Physical attractiveness can have a significant effect on how people are judged in terms of employment or social opportunities, friendship, sexual behavior, and marriage. In many cases, humans attribute positive characteristics, such as intelligence and honesty, to attractive people without consciously realizing it. Physically attractive individuals are regarded more positively and accurately in first impressions, however the physical attractiveness stereotype will have bias opinions and decisions when comparing people of different attractiveness levels.

A study done by Pfeifer noted a positive correlation between physical appearance and wages. More attractive people are, on average, more likely to be employed and have a higher wage than their normal counterpart. According to this study, the estimated effects of the interviewer rating, generally, have a larger impact on men than for on women, while self-ratings (of attractiveness) have a larger effect on women than on men. However, in this study, the rating from others (in this case, the interviewer) have a larger effect than self-rating. "The wage effects of attractiveness are nonlinear for men, which implies that wage punishment for unattractiveness is larger than wage premium for attractiveness, and linear for women."

Studies show that teachers perceive attractive children as more intellectual, more engaged in school and more likely to succeed academically than unattractive children. This is because teachers have shown to have more positive interactions with attractive children. In addition other studies show that customers' perceptions of quality of service is boosted by physical attractiveness.

In certain instances, physical attractiveness is distinct from sexual attraction; humans may regard the young as attractive for various reasons, for example, but without sexual attraction.

Women, on average, tend to be attracted to men who are slightly taller and who have a relatively narrow waist and broad shoulders. Men, overall, tend to be attracted by women who are slightly shorter, have a youthful appearance and exhibit features such as a symmetrical face, full breasts, full lips, and a low waist-hip ratio.

Generally, physical attraction is dependent on three factors: universal perceptions common to all human cultures, cultural and social aspects, and individual subjective preferences. Despite universally held perceptions of beauty in both sexes, males tend to place significantly higher value on physical appearance in a partner than women do. This can be explained by evolutionary psychology as a consequence of ancestral humans who selected partners based on secondary sexual characteristics, as well as general indicators of fitness (for example, symmetrical features) enjoying greater reproductive success as a result of higher fertility in those partners, although a male's ability to provide resources for offspring was likely signalled less by physical features. This is because the most prominent indicator of fertility in women is youth, while the traits in a man that enhance reproductive success are proxies for his ability to acquire resources and protect. There appear to be universal standards regarding attractiveness both within and across cultures and ethnic groups.

Beauty premium phenomenon
Studies show that a better physical appearance contributes to the belief of a person being better, smarter, more successful, more important, and more valuable according these thirteen facts:
[b]1.The scores of those physically attractive are higher than less physically attractive people on measures of affect and mood. People tend to believe attractive people as smarter, more successful, more sociable, more dominant, sexually warmer, mentally healthier and higher in self-esteem than their physically unattractive people, but studies show that there is no intelligent difference between attractive people and less attractive people.
2.Physically attractive people are more sociable and less socially anxious and lonely than less physically attractive people.
3.Physically attractive people are more popular than less attractive people and people are more likely to have an interaction with people who are physically attractive. Individuals are more likely to give personal information to physically attractive people than less physically attractive people.
4.A physically attractive person is more likely to be reinforced than a less attractive person.
5.Physically unattractive people are more likely to be identified as psychopaths over physically attractive people. Physically unattractive people with psychological disturbance are judged to be more maladjusted and to have a poorer prognosis than physically attractive people with the same psychological disturbance.
6.A physically attractive person is more likely to be found less guilty than a less attractive person while they are charged with the same crime.
7.Physically unattractive defendants are considered to be more dangerous than better looking offender in sex-related crimes.
8.Physically attractive individuals found guilty of a particular crime are more likely to receive more generous sentences than less attractive defendants.
9.We pay more attention to physically attractive strangers than to unattractive strangers of either sex. For example, people avoided sitting next to people with physical deformities.
10.People with facial disfigurements and other flaws are seen as less desirable. Even babies seem to prefer physically attractive faces to physically unattractive ones.[/b]

Disadvantages Reactions to beauty may lead to interpersonal tension and conflict. For example, individuals who are better-looking people are often at a disadvantage, because people attribute greater negative and egocentric traits to them.Extremely attractive individuals may be refused by their own sex type who are jealous of them. In fact, attractive people are often confused with whether people are attracted to their appearance or their inner qualities. They are also more likely to rely on their looks than on their other attributes. Furthermore, the correlation between physical attractiveness and honesty and concern for others are mostly likely negative

The society today has become so shallow. Infact shallowness is the norm. If you are not shallow you are seen as abnormal. Society puts premium on beauty, making females do all matter of gross acts to look beautiful.

The shallow logic of society today:
if you are beautiful, you are automatically considered clean, healthier, more intelligent, more friendly, richer..etc

I Keep asking, what is the use for beauty peagents? Only thing it does is promote segregation and inferiority complex.

[quote author=Lord_Reed]OK I now know you are bit slow but you can catch up. At the Chinese website open the tab labelled functional characteristics you will see it stated there that it is dual sim. Next check in specifications and look at CPU, it shows Quad-Core 1.6GHz + Quad-Core 1.2GHz which is indicative of the exynos octa core. No chip set from other OEMs currently has that characteristic.[/quote]Believe me, You don't want me to begin name calling. Tried to keep this thread as possible but if you want us to invite the Mods to help us end this, lets go there. Anyway back to the topic...

aieromon: Please,kindly drop this argument. Lord Reed posted his source a couple of pages away and it tallied with what he stated here. There is indeed a dual sim S4 released in China as stated on the official chinese Samsung site.

I'm not disputing this. My point is, all dual SIM phones are made mid or low end. What he is showing me is a fake.

[quote author=Lord_Reed]Show a screenshot.[/quote]Dude!!!!

[quote author=Lord_Reed]I can't even believe this! Your browser cannot translate a website from one language to another? LoL! Just goes to show.[/quote]Not so fast dude. Translated and the specifications did not indicate dual SIM. Dude, aren't you pathetic enough already?

[quote author=Lord_Reed]LoL! I've got issues? Gosh which kind person be this one? I keep telling you check the Samsung Chinese website yet you comeback and you have not verified it instead you are going to the Africa and International sites yet I'm the one with issues. The phone is not released internationally nor in Africa but in China alone. Men I can't even believe I'm still posting here sef.[/quote]Lol....I do not speak or read Chinese so there's nothing on there for me to see.
"Men I can't believe I'm still posting here sef"
LOL....you can run away from the argument. Its allowed.

[quote author=Lord_Reed]Dude I guess I'll have to take a chill pill because I can't understand how someone can see evidence with their eyes and still be obstinate. Official Samsung name does not add duos but if you want to quibble over that I am not interested. If the official Chinese Samsung website is not enough for you then nothing will.

Over and out.[/quote]Dude you got issues. If Samsung's official international website is it proove enough, I don't know what else you want to believe. There's actually a Samsung phone called 's4 duos' (as shown in the screen shots I posted earlier, my point is that it is a mid range phone.
Don't go buying fake ish.

[quote author=Lord_Reed]@caukerzee
For the sake of closure just click the link I posted before and verify that it is the Chinese portion of Samsung's website. The phone was released for only China (and possibly Korea not sure now). You will not find it in any other of Samsung's regional websites.

Also note that it is not called S4 duos. You can search for S4 China Unicom.

FYI there is a Verizon specific S4 model and you won't find it anywhere else but either the carrier's website or Samsung's N.American website.
https://m.verizonwireless.com/Shop/Details/All_Phones/v/6754[/quote]Oh, so we are dealing with two fakes or what?? This link to phonearena you gave me called it "S4 duos"
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Dual-SIM-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-Duos-launches-with-Exynos-5-Octa-chip_id42389

You said its only the african version huh??

[quote author=Lord_Reed]Dude stop being fatuous. Dual sim s4 is not released in Africa haba. It is like searching for Verizon specific model on the Africa site and then because you don't find it claim it doesn't exist. Click the link I posted if the site is fake come back here and say it.[/quote]Verizon model?? If those sites say there is a Verizon model, it only further proves that its a fake because no American or European carrier supports dual sim phones. Its not even about reviews. I can give you links of reviews from those sites and even YouTube videos of a certain 'Samsung Ativ Q' but apparently that device doesn't exist. Show me someone that owns one. The only device on Samsung's official website that has 's4' and 'duos' in its name is a mid range phone. Utill I see or you can show otherwise, There is no dual sim high end phone.

^^^^Mid-range specs.

[quote author=Lord_Reed]How did you prove it? Look at my last post, that is how to bring proof.[/quote]This shows more detail

[quote author=Lord_Reed]Amazing to what extent people go to perpetuate their own ignorance abi is it even arrogance I don't know again.[/quote]we proved to you that the Dual sim variant of the S4 has is mid range and you call it arrogance/ignorance??

If all those sites i quoted are unacceptable to you let me never see you accept any news they post here since they are unreliable.[/quote]Here's what I got when I searched for "samsung galaxy s4 duos" on Samsung's website. http://m.samsung.com/africa_en/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/smart-phone/GT-I9192ZKAXFE
Only result I got was "s4 Mini duos". A mid range phone. Remember when I said the dual sim variants are normally mid range or low end?

[quote author=Lord_Reed]I can see you are both angry to be proved wrong. It does not kill to accept that one didn't know something.[/quote]5 variants of the S4 are normally talked about and S4 duos is not one of them. That's some fake sh¡t.
