Romance / Re: Twitter User Apologizes To Girl Who Refunded His Date Money, Sends Back The 5k by chrispratt: 12:51am On Mar 31, 2017 |
Benita27: People go on dates just to have a good time. That is not the definition of *leading someone on*. She told him outright she wasn't interested in a relationship. Possibly she went out with him and at the end of the date decided he was not her type. To lead him on would mean she didnt tell him of her disinterest while repeatedly going out with him. Not every single date leads to relationship and marriage 3 Likes 1 Share |

Gloriagee: My dear I'm married oh and just like you, I appreciate him so much when I see posts like this as well as the *advice* people have to give. All the popular ones like Love him more Don't provoke him to beat you Buy him condoms and lube to help him cheat safely Watch *war room* (a fictional story by the way) And my personal favorite: Men are polygamous in nature. I'm married to someone who neither cheats nor beats me, he loves me, treats me with respect and is a great dad. I'm know now that is a rare occurence. I'm happy that you also have peace of mind in your home. 6 Likes |

Health / Re: 9-Week-Old Baby Suffers From Skin Change Due To Baby Formula [PICS] by chrispratt: 2:53am On Aug 10, 2016 |
sapiosexual1: Also, if milk isn't produced in sufficient quantities immediately or soon after birth, it's less likely to be produced as time goes on. It *dries up* so to speak if the mom is not nursing frequently and adequately. 9 weeks is a long time. It can happen, but with serious intervention and it also depends on why the mother didn't lactate initially. Also, breast is best, but formula is not poison. The only risk to formula in developing countries is availability of clean water. Some babies are also lactose intolerant or may have other digestive issues that keeps them from thriving on breastmilk. They need specialized formula to survive.not to mention some families cant survive one one income so the mom has to return to work after limited maternity leave. How many breaks can she get at work to pump? Where would she pump? Office toilet? Our society is not sympathetic to nursing moms. Some (developed) countries give as much as one year maternity leave with 50-75% pay after 6 months. Some offices have lounges where mothers can pump in privacy. Some offices have crèches attached to them so that the babies can be with a nanny during work hours while she takes breaks to breastfeed. a woman doesn't breastfeed or pump for 8 hours in the office, her supply may dry up. I'm passionate about breastfeeding but I'm more passionate about babies that are fed- either way 9 Likes |

sapiosexual1: I copied and pasted this from my reply on a similar thread. Read below. "Some women really can't produce breast milk. I know someone who is a lactation consultant in the US. Her job is to coach new moms on how to successfully breastfeed. Contrary to what people think, it doesn't come naturally. Yes it's natural, but it takes practice for both the mother and baby to get it right, in addition to the Tip pain no one warns you about. So lactation consultants are really helpful. However this particular L.C. had a baby and did not have any milk supply to breastfeed. She drank all sorts of herbs, nothing helped. She was heartbroken. She had to resort to formula. Bottom-line, not everyone that wants to breastfeed is able to. Formula is not poison. It was made specifically for babies' needs. After all when all is said and done and we grow into adults no one knows or cares the difference between who was a formula fed or a breastfed infant. It's certainly never been on any form I've filled nor an interview question. We all know that breast is best, but formula comes in at a close second. I'd rather have a formula fed baby than a starved baby. This is coming from someone who breastfed for way over one year." 6 Likes 1 Share |

Fame333: I just want to touch on the whole *boys suck excessively thing* Personally I think its a myth in an attempt to maybe sexualize breastfeeding? I don't know. Maybe because boys grow into men to like boobs for sexual purposes? I'm trying to understand. My own personal experience, I have a boy and a girl. My girl breastfed way more often and for a longer duration that my boy. I always roll my eyes when I hear or read the whole *boys breastfeed more* thingy. 5 Likes |

faustinalove: I'm sorry for your experience with the priest. Not all of them are like that. I'm a catholic too so i know. Try not to lose faith because of this. Most African men are misogynists even priests. How sad. They'll blame you for getting pregnant forgetting that you didn't impregnate yourself. Moving forward in relationships be honest about your past but be sure to not settle for an uneducated or unenlightened person. Even some so-called graduates are unenlightened and lack exposure. And please get to know someone before making up your mind about marriage. I'm sure you don't need so much advice. From your first paragraph I see you're putting this out as a cautionary tale so that other ladies can learn. Just be strong from now on and I wish you all the best in life. You will be okay. |

Doxie69: Yes but in OP's case she had no support from her family, is the eldest child so probably they were looking to her to start earning money or to become a meal ticket for them through marriage. A baby is hard even for a married couple with support. How much more a young single dejected girl. All her parent could offer was to *beg him [fiance] again* The fact that it ended well for your sister doesn't mean everyone's case is the same. 1 Like |

I don't have a problem with the dress. But if I were the bride I wouldn't be happy with this guest. The bride should be the centre of attention at her own wedding. As a guest you can still dress sexy without overdoing it. You can wear this to a random party, or to your own wedding, but it's inappropriate on someone else's wedding day. |

Family / Re: Why Do Nigerian Ladies Grow Out Of Shape When Married? by chrispratt: 3:29am On Jun 29, 2016 |
tomquest: These well known Nigerian ladies you speak of most likely have nannies, househelps, cooks who cook healthy meals, maybe personal trainers, and time to exercise. Have you ever spent your day caring for the needs of a little child? Or two? Or three? Overseeing the housework at the same time? Not having enough sleep thanks to said children? Going to the market? I don't know where you live, but not every road can be used for walks. Our roads aren't pedestrian accessible and a lot of areas are flooded, etc. Probably, this could be someone's reality. Just another way of looking at things. Oh and lets not forget depression from a number of issues. Some people eat when they are sad. When a couple have children, esp in Nigeria, the man's life goes on as if nothing changed. He can travel and do whatever he wants without having to drag the kids around with him. Unlike a mother who cannot even got to the bathroom without your kids following you. All I'm saying is instead of making sweeping generalizations, look at the bigger picture. I don't doubt that a lot of people both men and women don't know what to eat in order to stay healthy, but not in all cases. And it doesn't apply only to Nigerian ladies. More than a third of American adults are obese. Both male and female. So I don't think it's just a fufu issue. 2 Likes |

legalspices: Funny that it happened to me too and what's worse? We were both igbo but just because we were not from the same state? Wtf? His parents refused. After dating for so long. Anyway it ended up in my favor because I'm happily married to someone else and you know what? We're from completely different tribes and I couldn't be happier What I'm trying to say is that don't waste your time for a man that would not make his own decisions regarding whom to marry. This is 2016. Girl, you don't want to settle for less, no time to waste. If you want to wait around for him to change his mind that's on you, but that was my experience. 3 Likes 1 Share |

He won't change. Will your mom be there when he gives you heartache and STDs? Imagine the yucky nonsense and dirty juices he's transferring from her vjay-jay to yours? I'm sorry cheating grosses me out. The things you *bought and paid for* you wont even remember them them the chips are down in marriage. Are they not material things? Don't throw your life away over frivolities. You deserve better. The comments are something else. Low self esteem everywhere. P.s not all men cheat. Don't allow yourself to be fed these lies.
