Latex does irritate some people. In that case, you may need to look for specialist condoms.

Just make sure your pullout game is strong AND see if you guys can try non latex condoms (which are more expensive).
Travel › Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by cooooooks(m): 1:37am On Nov 03, 2020
The strain on the relationship/marriage is probably not worth it.

You guys going to 2 different countries could help get you dual citizenship or choose the best option.

br33zee:
Hi guys, i'm just joining the thread and i suppose some members here live in the UK. Please im in a dilenma right now. I need advice:

I'm getting married to my fiance soon and of course interested to leave with her.
She's a nurse....processing her papers to migrate to the UK.

I, on the other hand, mechanical engineer but since graduation, I've been in the tech space...dealing with digital marketing projects, wordpress (website) and graphic design projects. Eventually, developed two startups. One is a digital marketing startup. The other is a partnership. Also, I'm currently rounding up my online masters with University of South Wales btw

My issue is...if i move with my fiance after marriage, what am i chances in the UK (She's a nurse)

Additionally, I have an option to move to Canada as well but its for schooling....meaning I'd be dependent for a while.
I personally have made researches and Nigerians rate Canada more than the UK when it comes to the opportunities for immigrants. I want to know if this is really significant to consider in this my situation because my fiance is not entirely keen on moving to canada cos their nursing registration process is more rigorous as she might also have to do some courses before working!

Unless i move to canada and she moves to Uk and we maybe link up later. I dont know how thats meant to work! Please help clarify life and career opportunities in the UK for someone with my track record. That might help me make a decision. Thanks guys

Romance › Re: . by cooooooks(m): 1:14am On Nov 03, 2020
Who are you dating?

A lot of Nigerian women also split.

Some Nigerian women even try to buy the affection of their males.

Some women who used to split are advised (including by busybody men) to stop that because it "emasculates" some yeye men (among other reasons).

Dated a uk black lady and i never spent one kobo. Every outing, travel and hotel bills were split. It was never a topic of discussion.

Slim?

So all the Kenyan girls in Kenya are slim?

. Like someone else said, the environment has a huge effect on attitudes and behaviours, especially whilst relatively young.

. While a general trend is possible, generalized assumptions of people based on the group you place them in limits one's horizons.

Savlamara:
I would strongly disagree, but I'm only used to dating black American men. They are horrible... Naija men seem to have the manly qualities I look for.

1. This is the time when you have to take responsibility for your life. Obviously take advice from your parents but the buck stops with you.

2. Abroad, depending on the country, puts your destiny in your hands.

3. Nigeria immigration career progression will be heavily dependent on bosses and politics.

4. I would take the abroad option, especially to a country that can grant me permanent residence or citizenship within 3 - 5 years.
Romance › Re: Guys Help How Can I Handle This Girl? by cooooooks(m): 9:15am On Oct 30, 2020
Tales by moonlight.

Jannuxajj:
After service I went to stay with my aunt then I met this beautiful girl that stays with her. we both became lovers through out my stay there. I got a job in another state so I left. Fast forward to almost 3 years later now I got a contract in their state so I had to go stay with them. Due to covid this girl was around at home with me. Both of us are always home alone. Now looking at the scenario you will think this will be enjoyment for me as me and her dey dey home alone!!! WRONG. When we had a relationship 3 years ago little did I know that it was due to boredom and frustration of staying at home and waiting for admission that made her decide to date me. Now she has entered uni met alot of other guys and now more exposed. Due to this she rejected me. Naturally this should not be a problem, Na to move on na. But it is a very big problem because we both stay home alone everyday and this brings out the feelings I have for her because I truly liked her. But the most painful part is she doesn't even have a tiny spark of feelings for me. What really made this a problem is the fact that I am a conc stay at home introvert. I work from home on my laptop so we are always home alone together. I used style style to make sure she sees my account balance. she saw it and only hyped me that night. she still didn't budge even though am always taking her out and buying stuff for her. The major pain of this issue now is there is this our young neighbor guy that usually come and pick her with his father's tinted glass car. they will drive to one corner and wind up and that drives me crazy. I will start imagining what they are doing in the car. I even bone her for like one week she no even send, the major problem is staying alone with her and seeing her every minutes makes it hard to move on in my mind. Sometimes I even feel like a simp for being home alone with her and not being able to do anything with her.

Sex should not be something you are doing TO her. It should something you both are doing WITH each other.

Ask her to do what she wants, whatever comes to mind.

Make ot. Make the event more romantic. At least try to.

If oil facilities are attacked, we will all suffer.

FDI in O & G will reduce, oil price might go up, food prices might increase too.

However, if the government continuously refuses to heed the call to good governance, attacks will only increase.

In most of the world, 25 is not young anymore.
Romance › Re: Atheists Dating In Nigeria by cooooooks(op): 6:51pm On Oct 27, 2020
Thanks for the responses.

I am not currently in Nigeria but these issues still apply within Nigerian communities all over the world.

I am now very open about my irreligiosity even though it is no longer a big (new) deal to me.

I want to believe that religion is not a strong enough divider between people that love each other (even though it has already happened to me) but I fail to see how marrying a "strong believer" will work.

Thanks for the message. smiley

NkennaO:
Just be careful dating Catholics and Christians and most people of other religions. As a man, you may meet a woman willing to date you, as a woman well...

I am a woman here who is irreligious and I can tell you, not being “GOD FEARING” is hard sometimes

I have actually considered faking religion but I feel I would be lying to myself

Stay positive , let people know upfront where you stand, it will save you a lot of pain in the future
Romance › Re: Most Average Rented Homes In America Vs Nigeria by cooooooks(m): 12:46am On Oct 24, 2020
Not my experience.

Parents who regularly make $150,000 a year (combined) give their children some money for the downpayment on the house.

Some tie it to things like education or getting married/having kids or staying close to them.

It is not as though the 'kids' can not afford a home. However, a parent adding $10,000 might be the difference between getting a house and your 'dream' home.


SmartKitty:
In America parents have nothing to do with buying the house, very few help their adult children. They just release the adult children to the world. Go, work and buy your own house. As a parent, I live in my own house, I worked for it, retiring I maybe sell the big house and buy a smaller one or I sell everything, live in rental and travel, parents enjoy the life, or move abroad.

Parents money it's parents'. Adult children build their own wealth.
Romance › Re: Most Average Rented Homes In America Vs Nigeria by cooooooks(m): 11:41pm On Oct 23, 2020
You clearly did not read the thread.

I said parts of LA/NY. For ultra rich.

In the abroad, anyone with relatively modest parents buys their homes. Even university students buy their apartments with parents' money.

SmartKitty:
5-10K is not average for Americans, it's very expensive. Average is 1-2,5 K, higher is for rich people. People here know how to count money. Average people, if they can afford to pay 5-10K, they better get a mortgage and buy the house and they will not waste money on the expensive rent. Usually renters are young people just starting out of their parents house, people with bad credit (no banks giving them mortgage), drug addicts, new immigrants, temporary stay when you move to the new city, travelers for work or tourists, etc.
Romance › Re: Most Average Rented Homes In America Vs Nigeria by cooooooks(m): 8:57am On Oct 23, 2020
In some areas, this is the average rent. Think of where celebrities and billionaires stay.

The 'average' person & immigrant definitely does not pay this.

The only place where you'll rent a one room apartment, i.e, a studio not a one bedroom apartment, for $2,000 is in Manhattan and downtown LA or Hollywood.

In some parts of the USA, rent for a 3 bedroom apartment is less than $1,200. So it depends on where you are.
