Mazi Coogar, today is Sunday and I'm a devoted Christian, I have to keep this day Holy, so I'm not gonna insult you, you are old enough to be my father. Please, hold your peace and respect your old age sir.
if i am old enough to be your father then you shouldn't be posting here & disrespecting your father. i have zero tolerance for name-droppers. i dunno you from adam, keep my name outta your sëmen-slurping lips.

CHISOS!!!!! Coogar don finish me ooooo! ROTLMSAO!!!!!
Sambarry and you must obviously have had some serious e-quarrels in the past and this current one seems to be a carry over. Fascinating and funny!

On this topic I believe Coogar echoes my thought on the wife's responsibility for keeping herself fit and attractive for the husband. Nothing peeves me as much as a relatively young woman with a protruding belly who ain't pregnant though! Yikessss!
it's a turn off!
a friend of mine told me how his wife went to the mall & his colleague saw her. few moments later, the colleague called my friend to congratulate him of his wife's "pregnancy".

my friend was like - "my wife? pregnant?" it took a while before it registered in his head that his wife's protruding belly has been mistaken as pregnancy - and i dunno if it's me, you hardly ever see black women in the gym.

they would rather use their money to buy indian hair.

Any lady that admits to desiring a pregnant man is after d pocket cheesy
No wonder d likes of iwuanyawu can still marry at 72.
Also,note that pregnant men hardly lasts in bed. Some cant even perform except when enhancement drug is taken.
Nothing seexxxy about a pregnant man.
They got no reason to be pregnant.
At least some ladies hv genuine reason.
so what do men enjoy in women with humongous tummies? surely, you must get the drift now why husbands may look outside when the wives stop looking attractive.

Hy coogar! Wait a minute!
Did u just say d woman's weight can make d man look outside?
Ok fine kiss
But what about pregnant men?
a pregnant man is still desirable to some. as a nigerian woman, her bargaining power has the same weight of an atom. a woman has little room to manoeuvre...

Me think we hv more pregnant men than fat women and they look disgusting.
Puh! Its a turn off for most ladies and can equally make ladies look outside cheesy

U see, equation is balanced here kiss
hardly!
a man's bargaining power is higher than that of a woman....pregnant men or not! you also forget nigeria still allow polygamy - a man can hide under that guise and chase after as many women as he deems fit. women don't have such incentives.

Haa Coogar you can spot a chic with hygiene issues by visiting her in her environment. Even if we dont test drive a very neat person who hygiene is a big issue for can spot some one kain dirty tendecies.
men rarely spot these things till its late. most men can't even tell the difference between the natural hair & the artificial. our eyes are on other "features". grin

I don't have the power this night but my point is cheating can't be the solution to marital issues. some men cheat just because they feel they can not necessarily because of something the wife did or did not do. To them it's not having rice everyday (I hate that analogy ehn). Some won't even tell the wife the issues before deciding the best next thing is looking outside.We have had threads where men say my wife is doing this and that and I am thinking of getting a girlfriend. huhWhen asked have you even told her they enter voice mail.At least discuss and work with your spouse first before thinking of an alternative.
i don't think anyone said cheating is the solution to marital issues.....what i said was its the easier option to take for these men. the solution is tedious & requires loads of patience. we nigerians don't work with that. we want the minimum of efforts & plenty of reward.

That said I agree that marriage is alot of work from both parties.
cool!

damiso:
Of course staying healthy is what everyone should want for their spouse. My issue is often this 'staying healthy' for their own good is borne out of a selfish 'this not how you looked when i married you' POV and not necessarily caring about their health.
you have to remember if she was big back in the days, the man would probably not have married her. it's all part of the equation. he wants her healthy(her own good) and he wants her attractive(his own benefit).

If you care if it means telling horror stories of diabetes, cancer etc you will do it not saying I married size 8 go back to size 8 if you don't I will get a size 8 who appeals to me outside.

My husband had a very unhealthy habbit (energy drinks coffee rarely drank water) which had lil or no bearing on his looks or weight in this case he is still as slim as the day we met But I was always on his case because I care about his health in general and he has greatly reduced his intake of those beverages and drinks more water.
it's one thing to keep telling them, it's another thing for them to listen. some people are set in their ways. they have become addicts to fattening foods.

I agree with encouraging your spouse to look fit and stay healthy but some men don't talk about it from the health point of view but from a vain looks point of view.
a fit-looking wife does everyone in the family a world of good. the point of view is a moot point....all the men are saying is, wives should never stop working in their marriage.

Now...why not just come out and say what it is you REALLY want to say?

I prefer directness, rather than beating around the bush.

Why do you say I am a very bitter human being?

Does this have anything to do with a character assessment?

Please feel free to expand on your opinion of ME - someone you don't know from Eve.

I'm not easily offended.

Thanks in advance!
i think it's about the kinda threads you love to put up. can you dedicate one month just for the positive things in marriage, instead of the negatives?

your topics mostly bounce in & out of divorce, domestic violence, infidelity & other marital vices. if this is what you see all the time, then i think it's high time you move away from such noxious environment.

But being rich is faaaar more important to some people than anything in this world which is they sought out to marry relative comfortability.
i agree - but it's still artificial.
no man would turn down an attractive woman for sex because she's poor. grin he would turn her down if she's dirty.

People marry for different reasons and so if a lady marries for comfort why can she not look elsewhere if those needs are not being met. Note I am not begrudging men who expect fit wives he married size 8 wants highest size 10 even after 3 kids why should he put up with size 18?
the thing is - men rarely complain.
he already knows what he would do. he only needs to mention it once or twice, if he doesn't see changes, he goes outside to seek what he wants.

Just saying based on that theory too we should not begrudge women who want relative financial security cos thats what they married and are not getting down the line too.
if she wants relative financial security, she should go & work for money. she was trained academically like the man she's relying on to provide comfort - that's almost leeching.

however, asking a woman to stay healthy, take her hygiene seriously isn't leeching. it's ultimately for her own good. so don't compare financial security with body health issues. they are worlds apart!

Of course marriage is complex which is why it is kinda simplistic to solely lay the blame for one person cheating on the person being cheated on.
i didn't solely lay the blame on the wives of cheating husbands - i said most of the time, they are part of the problem. it's not even natural for a man to damn his marital bed & start following every chic in his environment. there must have been a root cause.

is he getting well-serviced, is the wifey keeping to her personal hygiene? does she make excuses not to have sex?(married women do this a lot especially when there's a minor argument). they use sėx as a tool to bargain for whatever.

how many husbands would take such?


Hygiene issues can be tackled..There are loads of women who have less than clean husbands but imagine telling a typical Nigerian inlaw I cheated on him cos of hygiene shocked you are told to manage it.
a woman with a poor hygiene is 10 times worse than his male equivalent. lets not go into such details. grin

So if you love someone you help them manage their inadequacies. Filthy people generally tend to show it at some point at courtship so I even think if it bothers you that much just don't marry her/him.
they don't show it.
there are deodorants & fragrances that mask such the putrescent odour they carry around them. on top of that, we are constantly told not to test-drive before signing our lives away......

we don't get to see the merchandise until the wedding night & then we realise all that glitters ain't gold. grin what's a man to do then? divorce? of course - cheating is the easier option for him then. if he perishes, then so be it. cheesy

80% of his problems are solved if his erëction never wavers. good sėx destresses. he would snap less, he's not frustrated, even when he is wronged, he's more willing to forgive cos he's constantly without stress.....

however, a starved man is pathetic - he's the equivalent of a woman suffering from post partum depression. he finds fault in everything. this is why it's hard to see a fun-loving man who likes wine & women becoming a terrorist - he's not that frustrated to blow people up. grin cheesy

marriage can be complex - what about hygiene issues? you stayed in a hostel at some point, i'm sure.....

did the lifestyle of some women not make you wanna puke? yet, these poor habits of theirs are invisible on the outside. so when you see husbands of fit women seeking greener pastures, look more inwardly. grin

Coogar and all this your theories angry we gain an hour so quickly before I go to bed:
Going by this your theory of something being missing which the other party needs to find outside e.g weight gain leading to lower intimate drive
lol @ an hour before sleep.

So does this apply if I marry a guy financially comfortable (not bill gates rich but comfortable)2/3 vacations a year nice house nice cars, designer clothes etc.Something happens where we can't afford these things anymore as he is the chief earner am I also ok to look outside for what he is no longer able to give me I.e. material comfort?
does poverty affect a man's erëction? grin
statistics will tell you that poor men are even the best in bed. he's too poor to afford fattening foods. he's superb in bed & he's ultra-fertile. grin

in other words, using money or material comfort as an excuse to leave one's hubby is quite lame. the men who go outside to seek greener pastures love their wives.....they want things to be the same as the courting days but they just cannot get an eréction for wifey - the spark has disappeared!

the importance of a healthy lifestyle can't be overstated; except you have ridiculously good genes.
and there's little information about it in nigeria. anyways, pastors leave this bit out so they can make money. if health issues are followed up severely like most women fast & pray for a happy home, it would go a long way to reduce infidelity.

they do missionary like normal people but expect him to pause at least 5 times per round. the exertions are too much for his obese body.

for the woman.....she's no longer attractive. she's nüde & hubby can't even see her pubes cos the fat belly has covered it. how won't a man look for other options when his own wife is no longer sëxually attractive.

Surely there shall be no missionary grin

so apt. For us to except a home free of infidelity,the partners have to put in work (serious work, in fact). How can you be putting in work that lead to infidelity (adding weight and all) and expect fidelity? Where does that happen? huh

Mediocre women expecting a fairy tale home... I laugh in french. cheesy
nigerians are too lazy to put in the work needed.....only a few of them take their body health seriously. in my borough, everyone jogs or rides a bike. at least more than half of my colleagues jog to the office every morning, take a shower & dress up for work. grin it's a habit they have cultivated over the years.

naija folks can't even do such - it's too humbling for their bad self. madams pack their big arsës in a big car with a driver taking them everywhere they want. and these "madams" are mostly under 30 years of age. how would the fat not build up?

I've heard that a lot. I was imagining if the dude was already packing,getting fat may not necessarily reduce it unless he started getting fat before his Ikenga was full formed and grown to optimum size.(Teenage things)
that's the truth.....
the size depends on the amount of blood the nervous system sends down there. with his orobo belly, his arteries must have gathered enough plaques making it difficult for blood to get down there....so his tool would naturally shrink.

Anyway is that really true? grin

apart from infidelity, untimely death is also imminent......a man with a fat belly would soon become useless in bed. the bigger the belly, the smaller the pënis gets. so by all means, weight issues should be the main gist in religious houses......not every problem is spiritual.

greatgod2012: If you're a man, and you're cheating on your wife, how will you feel if it's your wife that is cheating on you?
it's not so black & white.
in a way, you can hardly blame married men that cheat. the only thing that can make a man go outside is because what he has inside is no longer attractive to him.

what is the role of the wives in this? that's what you should be looking at? women just generally stop trying to look good especially after having a child or two. what's a man supposed to do when tri-weekly sėx becomes bi-monthly sėx?

he should go to divorce court & chase out the mother of his children? cheating is the easier option. it's not like i am condoning this but women cannot just add 20kg out of nowhere & expect to still be attractive to their husbands.
