But seriously who was arguing that with you before?

Everyone knows some women marry for money. While others are wise enough to look beyond money and look at what matters.

The OP only asked how one can differentiate between a guy who has real potential and one who's just a lazy dreamer.
And folks were giving their candid opinions.

You have a way of striking up debate even where not necessary.

Keep laughing sha.


What I gave you was an example biko.
There are a million and one things anyone can do.

Besides Op asked what is potential.
That's what we are on about.
If he asked do women marry for money? Then this would follow because I know a good percentage would marry for money.

You're the one going on about something else.I didn't read anyone here saying women don't sometime marry for money.

But Even them broke dudes still marry.
And your 70 year old example has poor and broke examples too. As long as they practise polygamy in their area.

Is potential money? Nope
Can potential bring money? Yes.
Does it mean every man with money has potential? No. Some are just lucky.
Meaning that a woman can still marry a man who isn't rich but has shown that he's not going to be spoon-feed-me kind of man.

If it was all about money,I'd have married the first miilionaire I met.
Park for one corner abeg.

pickabeau1: You make me laugh

So is it everyone destined to sell akara with 200k

Do you know the percentage of businesses which fail within the first year.. am not sure u do

You lot come here, saying the same spiel..

I hope you have seen the young wives of the 70 year old king.. the guy really has potential grin grin

Women are hypergamous.. accept it and move on...

if i ask most of the married women here, they married people in telecooms, oil n gas..yet u say potential

Potential indeed...

I like posters like ThoniasLIM who r real.. you are trying to whitewash and bamboozle.. say it as it is

Where is DailyNews for some epistles.. grin grin

And I'll also give you example of millionaire dude that I dated and didn't marry because his money wasn't a result of potential.
Plus other faults.
Even though he wanted marriage.

So don't speak for everyone.

Besides no one says there aren't materialistic women out there. I didn't say that.
pickabeau1: I tire ooo

No mind cococandy

she does not want to agree as it makes chics out to be materialistic somewhat.. tongue tongue

But thats the fact... a smart guy knows d score... get the dough and the chics roll in

They will come here and give us some spiel about some dude they loved and he had no money etc blah blah blah

The key question is DID U MARRY HIM grin grin grin

Op I really feel and understand your pain.
I know what it's like to work with someone towards success. Sharing your pains and celebrating your joys together. With a Great hope for the future.
You think since you're so in love and so happy with so little,then it would be exponential when the wealth comes.
Alas it didn't happen.

Letting go can be so hard.
Admitting you worked so hard for nothing seems impossible.

kaboninc: They do not run away because they 'recently' discovered that he's shaddy, but because they do not want to be implicated.

Yea that's another perspective.

Still some people are upright and will rather deal with clean money than blood money even if there's no chance of getting caught.



Everyone (especially a woman) and a man smiley desires comfort and money; its one very important factor (if not the most) she desires when choosing for a partner. I do not have a problem with that though

.I've no problem with that either.lives and choices differ.

I just wanted to make it clear that it's not every man with money that can be seen as one with potential. That's based on the OP's question of course.
Family › Re: Who Is A Guy With Potential? by cococandy(f): 12:25pm On Sep 03, 2014
Wrong.
Comfort and money isn't the word. If it is,
Meaning a crook with stolen money is a fair match?
Or a thief and swindler(AKa yahoo boy) can be regarded as a guy with potential?

Oh please.

Note that I haven't said some ladies won't marry such men. Some sure will.

But when talk like that,you're saying as long as it is money,the quality of the person is irrelevant.
If it is plainly about the money for every woman,why do some run away when they discover that the man is into shady deals?

It's not so much about the money as it is about the qualities which makes him a go-getter in the first place. That's like 50percent of the attraction. Even before you begin to touch the physical cash,the fact that he's man enough to succeed in the face of set backs and barriers is a turn on.


pickabeau1: Nothing wrong in this or that

Ladies should come out and speak plainly rather mouthing gibberish like potential when all they mean is comfort and money

Thats the point

Family › Re: Who Is A Guy With Potential? by cococandy(f): 9:19am On Sep 03, 2014
[b]well maybe because the Op specifically asked about guys with potential that is why we are centering the topic on guys. It could lead some to believe that potential isn't a quality women should possess too.
Far from it. Infact it becomes more and increasingly important especially in our 21st century.

I like to use pretty close to home examples to illustrate my points.
If I were a man and I know two ladies who think they have potential,one would rather carry brazilian hair of 100k while staying home waiting for LNG to call her for interview and hand her a job.

the other one while waiting for her 'good job' doesn't mind investing her 100k in female underwear and make-up,doesn't mind carrying her market around to areas where she gets buyers like female hostels etc etc.

I'm sure anyone with a sound mind knows who I'll root for.

Someone asked why is potential leaning towards finance?
Well it's pretty obvious. It's a monetized world. One's ability to earn a living is a direct reflection of their survival skills. Everyone wants a survivor.

Family › Re: Who Is A Guy With Potential? by cococandy(f): 9:00am On Sep 03, 2014
That would be 'being lucky'.
Not everyone who made it in life did so out of their own smartness and/or working on their dreams.

So yes a man who's been helped to become what he is may attract a fine specie of ladies but he's not necessarily better than the one who's still struggling to make it.

Not everyone is even interested in potential.
In fact many are not. They want the already made stuff.
All this talk about potentila is because OP asked.
Some people can't even recognize potential is if stares them in the face.

chaircover: Nashville your friends stroy is a very sad one.

Sometimes marriage actually improves the "potentials" of BOTH parties and marriage is the catalsyst that actually opens doors to success. 2 heads is better than one and when you know that someone has your back, supports you, prays for you, belives in you, advises you, encourages you and the like, then you are more confident to go out there and give it all you have.

Today many Husbands and Wives are enjoying the priviledges of their in-laws & not their own potentials; Especially husbands, Many husbands today are working in places where their in-laws knew someone who know someone. So really their " reaching their potential" today was as a result of someone else giving them a helping hand.

Yes a lazy man with grandiose dreams needs to be run away from with speed, but generally speaking most people want to make it in life, its just that they dont have the oppourtunities and may need a helping hand especually in the envionment that we come from where jobs are few and unsecured small bank loans are not very easy to get if at all.

If Nashvilles friend had someone who could offer him a good job, wouldnt he suddenly be a man with potential?
Family › Re: 'Dear God, Send Me A Husband' by cococandy(f): 1:22am On Sep 03, 2014
In this day and age?
Frankly I think pity or whatever it is(empathy maybe) that we feel for such women is misplaced.
IMO.

I get real pissed when I see or hear ladies who go on and on about what their pastors say and instruct them to do.
IT IS IRRITATING!!!

The other day it was one church asking all the single ladies to wear wedding dresses to church on one particular sunday to claim their husbands by faith.
And they did.
What nonsense.

I roll my eyes if I'm in church and the pastor begins to pray about the husband hunt. It's silent pressure that these women buy into and begin to feel less than worthy when they don't get theirs 'soon'

Any lady who gets with that programme deserves not my pity.

Even the bible says he who finds a wife finds a good thing. It should be men running the race and hunting for that good thing with all their might.they should be the ones missing something when they aren't married because according to the bible the wife is a missing rib. right?

Makes you wonder what kind of low self esteem a woman will have to believe she's nothing without a man.
I don't waste my pity on anyone like that.
I understand the need for companionship and love and family.

But the truth is that in most cases that's not even the driving force behind these husband hunts. It's more about social status and belonging to the club. The self worth they then believe they've achieved by adding Mrs to their names.

And I don't blame pastorpreneurs who key into such weaknesses to make some cool cash.

It's so bad now that from 20yrs some girls are already beginning to get worried that their boyfriends haven't mentioned marriage once.

Not realising that the desperation pushes calm and rational guys away.
A normal pretty,educated and wifely lady will get loads of proposals(speaking from experience) that she'll be the one having her pick of men based on the qualities she wants.

But most of our ladies get too desperate early on in life and miss their golden opportunites with the hurry

Or they fail to see the good guys around them when they had hordes of men flocking all around.
Such that when they are older they begin to fret and pastors use them.

Which business man will miss such investment?
I blame such ladies




zboyd: Married women aren't the subject here. Why would they be?

If you want the true gist of something, go to the horse's mouth.

Some single women believed their pastors, when he told them to pray and wait for God to send them their future husbands...so they keep waiting...as the years keep marching by.

And...may I remind you that some men aren't marriage material either which some unfortunate women discover, only after they marry them.

As far as the secular world being a normal element of social interactions, I somewhat disagree.

Some Evangelical churches have such a tight hold on their congregants that the pastors control what they wear, what they read, what they listen to, where they can go, who they can socialize with AND who they can marry.

First I don't think this thread condemns all pastors,so why are some folks getting all hot under the collar?
Like pointing fingers at any corrupt pastor means cussing the whole of christainity?
undecided

Secondly I agree with coogar. Any adult woman that let's herself be brainwashed into believing any xtupid thing should have herself to blame.
No need creating a thread to discourage some pastors from their scam.

Family › Re: Who Is A Guy With Potential? by cococandy(f):
Some guys mistake potential to be plans or dreams. Hence a graduate young man hoping to get a job at Shell while doing some unfulfiling job will think he has potential because he's educated and has big dreams.

Potential is the guy who turns lemon into lemonade.

He's focused and doesn't waste his time regaling the babe with his 'plans' for the future.

He's calculative.
The guy who didn't get a job when he left school but his shop that he started with 200k is worth millions now because he doesn't mind traveling to the north or to Togo to buy goods cheaper and doesn't mind driving a keke napep to deliver his goods to his clients on time. Thereby creating a huge customer base and more success from his little capital.

Potential is not by mouth.
If you're driven,it won't be a secret.

jnrbayano: I wonder why people seem to advise people in trouble better than they will advise themselves if faced with similar situation.

it's natural. When you're the one in a situation,emotions may not allow you make a rational decision. It's always better for advice to come a neutral person.

For instance, when you go over to the family section, you will quickly see many unmarried people with zero marriage experience waxing lyrical over the things happening in marriages.

every marriage is different.that one is married isn't a proof that they are qualified to advise others. And that one is unmarried doesn't mean they can't offer insight into marital affairs. Marriages are families. Everyone belongs to one family or the other. So invariably,each person has had experiences relating to family issues.
Marriage in itself isn't a ceritificate of wisdom. So singles can have opinions about marriage issues. If they are making sense,why not listen?


In the romance section, you will read posts and shake your head to each sentence of immaturity that inundate it.

we are all learning.

The Religious section needs no hiding. A place where supposed to be the seat of decorum and manners yet people come there to score a "touché" (win arguments) over another instead of winning souls for God. People slandering other denominations is the bane. etc etc.

I concur. Everyone needs to respect others' beliefs. Atheists and believers alike.


Why does in:

Relationships; different relationship tips fly around yet too many relationship problems here and there.

Marriage; different marriage councillors on the loose yet divorce cases aplenty.

Religion: (from a christian angle): different lovers of God but yet nobody want to keep his commandment summarised in Love of God and love of man. Instead of modifying their behaviour and acting right as Jesus taught, they say that Jesus has done everything for them and this explains the very many vices in this world.

What is wrong with us??

becase at some level,we are all hypocrites who don't practise what they preach!
