JJYOU: i am beginning to think majority of the younger men are safer marrying outside africa. It's funny because that is where you'll find the likes of us. |

van der jo: For a man to respect you,first you have to respect who you are cuz it all starts from there,you cannot be a LovePeddler and expect respect from your man,if you a woman that knows what you want,i will respect you,infact i give too much respect to women that knows who they are,and respects themselves,moreover when a man truely loves a woman,naturally he won't like to hurt that woman and the respect will always be there,agreed most Nigerian men has ego problem and the would want to show thier"bruise ego".that is why they do not respect women but there are lots of us that respect women in nigeria.i am certainly one of them. hush. Ch . . . did the women have sex with themselves? Many guys are celebrating losing their virginity by 15 and slutting around by 17 yet they expect to knock on some woman's door and find her keeping herself for him. |

Crude Oil: Nigerian men this, Nigerian men that. What do you know about nigerian men? All you women do is generalise and stereotype nigerian men in a very negative way. Every human being is different, because you meet a nigerian man that is disrespectful to you doesnt mean all nigerian men are like that. Next time you raise topics like these, back them up with facts and stop generalising. Try to stop blabbing like one with common sense and start reading. This thread was not about the disrespectful things Nigerian men do, matter of fact, far from that. I was asking about what kind of things would I do as a woman that he will find disrespectful or respectful. It is a thread that was created for us to clearly see where the boundaries are. So stop whining like little child. God forbid that I would bash you men like I have nothing more important to do. |

First off, I'll like to thank you all for your views. It's nice to see how opinionated Nairaland can be lol. I think I agree most with the reciprocation idea. You cannot or let me say, should not make your wife or girlfriend a slave all in the name of respect. If you love her right, she'll respect in ways you never imagined.
Also, I do not know where people are getting this notion that house chores are a woman's work. She has a job too, you know? She is contributing to the family financial well-being like a partner is supposed to. She can't do some of the house work before she goes to work then come back from work and do the rest . . . afterall, she isn't living in the house alone. If she is at work or she is shopping for the family and you are home and hungry, it's best you don't feel disrespected, get off the couch, go into the fridge and make yourself something to eat. If you can't cook, ask her for cooking lessons. That will be a way to make her feel special and at the same time bond with her. |

Sisi Jinx: Well obviously, we are talking about someone with major issues here. . . more than the usual being a Nigerian man issues here.
Where did you find this guy??!! lol Sisi stop it. I am really seriously here. [size=2pt] I'm considering dating a Nigerian man in the near future[/size] vicade: Of course not. But if you rub it in his face then that is disrespectful ok I can live with that. |

Would he find it disrespectful if I happen to earn more than he does? |

vicade: That is the use of courtship. A guy that does not do all these in courtship is not expected to do it in Marriage though i personally think you are right except your fourth point.
The approach to issues matter and in as much as people pretend, during courtship, you should be able to see these things unless of ofcourse the person is non chalant or a desperate old cargo. I know a lot of working class wives who dont cook for their husbands. They leave that to the House Maid. Is that Disrespect? Is he complaining? |

drrionelli: This is interesting to me as North American. Help me understand something: In the US, respect is not an entitlement, but rather, something that is earned. Is respect viewed the same in Nigeria? Exactly. I keep having this feeling like Nigerian men think that because they are men, they have to respected and we (women) have to be submissive (ugh, I hate that word lol). I look at threads and that is all I see. @all, I need to know, 1) Would he find it disrespectful if I asked him to start cooking because I am stuck in traffic or even, help me out in the kitchen when I am cooking? 2) Would he find it disrespectful if I asked him to do the laundry? 3) Would he find it disrespectful if I told him I really don't want t have sex but I'll rather cuddle and talk? 4) Would he find it disrespectful if I told him that I feel his mom has been visiting too frequently? |

davidylan: If you love your partner respect will come naturally. Its a two-way street. I know that but I feel like there is a different manual for Nigerian men lol. HeatFusion: Thank you. A designated time should be establish for the time the woman cooks so the family can eat together. anything before, between and after that, the man/his children can go to the kitchen and find some snacks to eat. I have raised knowing that everyday by 7:30 pm everyone goes to the dining room to have dinner. If you're late, pray that there are left overs |

vicade: Naija man? Maybe. But i doubt the naija women of nowadays will fit the Woman tag in that Dialogue so i presume it might be a Nigerian Man with a Non-Nigerian Woman You got it twisted. A non-Nigerian woman won't do any of that. If you're hungry, go to the kitchen and make something to eat or you come back home when the whole family is eating. |

I asked this question before but I had no responses. What exactly do Nigerian men deem as respectful? I ask because many people on this forum throw this word around a lot. |

That's sad. You should have asked about her blood type a long time ago and saved yourself a little over 4 and a half years. Well nothing else to do now but call it quits or if you choose to marry adopt. |

Ok, you said you've broken up with her so end of thread. I suggest you date someone older than 20 next time and allow those young girls to grow up. |

Blood_Shed: I've been here for roughly 6 months now and most of the females I come across here always seem to be diagnosed with AQS (African Queen Syndrome, I blame that idiot 2face for blowing up their heads with that stupid song), like every man has to grovel to their feet. Even the ones that look like Donkey Kong feel the need to talk rubbish.
How many times amI sitting down or waving a taxi and some monkey looking she-male-animal walks up to me like ''why are you always looking at me?''. One caught a backslap on Friday cos she was all in my face for literally nothing.
What is it with you lot, or maybe a clash of cultures, but a man doesnt beg or take rubbish either, unless its in Nigeria of course lol.
I thought Naija London girls were bad. You hit her? |
