FamilyRe: Important Things To Discuss Before Marriage by DarryOsh(m): 5:10pm On Jul 29, 2013
Meddler: I laugh when I hear guys describe a particular type of lady u have encountered in the past or present. My take is that if u have been meeting the same type of girls over and over again, change environments ur taste and try something different. my female friends r the complete opposite of what you described above. Sorry for the cliché but they r strong independent women and r not looking for someone to take care of them. Now the funny thing is that guys appear not to like those kind of chicks. Either they r too intimidated by them or they believe they would be too proud. Anyway the gist of my story is that u start looking for women and not girls because there's a big difference between the two. Apparently uve only been meeting girls.
well said. I stated earlier that i wonder if perhaps i am the one surrounded by the wrong sort. U make it sound as if i said all ladies are like that? No i did not.

And i forgot to mention that i know a number of independent ones too (but for some reasons thear are 'within reach').

But if as u say, most of the ladies you know are independent and yet do not let it 'get into their heads'( u didnt talk about that aspect though), then its great.

Finally, about meeting 'women', i am not even 'searching' (@ least not delibrately).

By making dis real , we wud b raising a peace keepin generation n generations.
you make it sound so easy. Religion and race are not the same. The kind of marriage u talk about can only work if both parties do not take their religions very seriously. Even so, what happens if along the line one of them takes is more seriously and religious values clash. And as for the children, which wil they follow. From xperience, they follow the spouse who is more aggresive in instilling his/her religious beliefs

[quote author=eagle,eye]Please can you give us an example of those standards. Because I was once young and thought I would have settled years ago, but I am not even sure of doing it this year. irrespective of my earnings, I don't really lack money, so I wouldn't attribute my bachelorhood to lack of money.[/quote]now that you asked, i realise puttin it in into words in more difficult than i thought. Well, i must say that i believe good peolpe(regardless of sex, age, race etc) are generally hard to come by.

My default impression of ladies is that they are are superficial. I mean, who says they cant b deep thinkers.....to lots of them fashion, and other superficial stuff are kind of priority. Just check out what a lot of them regard as entertainment. They dont wann see deep movies.no! They dont really aspire for much. So many just want a guy with money and feel pressured to go into retaionships and marriage jut for the sake of it.

Why are they scared to b alone. A lady leaves a relationship and cannot imagine being on her own for a while. She just jumps into another man's arms. Talk about independence. Its all about show-off (even their marriage and relationships). My friend who things i set my standards too high believes that is how ladies are supposed to b.

In short, most girls go into relationships with the mindset that they are going to 'take' rather than 'give'. I wouldnt want a nagging wife who believe i should do d work of making things 'work' because she is the lady and i am the man.

Now, from experience, those who seem to have the right mindset may have submission issues (i use the word submission in accordance with the bible).

And, oh, faith is one thing i cnt compromise. Not just by mouth, bt practicing it.

Ps: sometimes i wonder if i hold this beliefs because of my own environment. I must say that when i come on to nairaland and read posts by some ladies, i wonder how come i dont come in contact with these wonderful ones. Where the hell are they?

I have tried to put it in words.......
FamilyRe: Important Things To Discuss Before Marriage by DarryOsh(m): 2:10pm On Jul 29, 2013
I like to think that i stil hav time on my side (early twenties) but i try to prepare. This marriage of a thing is a big deal! Sometimes it seems that one can never prepare enough. I have seen circumstances turn great marrriages into something else.

Because i believe that i am a very good man and whoever gets me is favoured, i have set high standards. A friend tells me my standards are unrelistic. Yet another friend (who is just like me in many regards) says otherwise. He believes that since i meet up with those high standard i deseve someone who also does. But its confusing......i believe in compromise but there are many things i dont want to compromise on. Lord help us all.

As i read the comments in this thread i see a lot of beefing and inverted snobbery. For goodness sake if i father is rich, she shud jump in d lagoon or wat? To d best of my knowledge, none of us chose our parents. I am sure most of us here plan to b as rich as otedola, so ur kids are definately gonna b like her. They may never step foot in naija and yet they wil claim to love naija. So please cut her some slack abeg! She should not b made to apologise for the blessings in her life. If u av a prob wit her father, face him

dammytosh: A great Dad you gat there. Happy Father's Day to him.

Some of us had no opportunity to learn from our Dad's experience in life from the horse's mouth. The relationship lasted as Daddy to small boy till I lost him. I wish he told me a lot of things i got to learn "on the job" about life.

Dedicating "Dance with my Father by Luther Vandross" to my Daddy. He is the funniest person i can ever remember. Those comic memories still replays.

Though i had no opportunity to show you how much i loved u now but i am saying for the first time in my life.

"I love you Dad." cry cry cry cry
TV/MoviesRe: Bollywood Vs Hollywood - Which Is Better? by DarryOsh(m): 11:39am On May 24, 2013
Bolly is fast losing my repect. Indian movies are dying, what they av now are bastardized versions of american movies.
Their songs r now hip hop, they dress like americans, their stories are too americanized, everthing! What happened to those compelling indian dramas filled with rich indian culture that made me as a child to vow that i must visit india before i die! They r losing themselves and its sad.

This is wat now happens on the global movie scene:
holly makes a movie and bolly copies it and adds dancing and singing. Nolly copies bolly's version and dont even change the title(but tyler becomes tayo and marion becomes amara). Golly copies nolly's version and makes it sexually explicit! Nonsense!

Since all can b traced no holly, then holly is the best. They copy no one!
There r stil few authentically indian movies i repect though. I loved bolly when they had their identity and stood for what they are. I recently saw a bolly movie, they spoke english all thru, english title, no dance, no indian culture, no indian dressing......a failed attemp to copy americans...it was a disaster.
People should realise thay u cnt copy someone and b better than them.
At the end of the day, it seems everyone sees things through american eyes and telling american stories. Whatever happened to cultural identity and diversity
FamilyRe: Open Communication In Marriage, A Plus Or Minus? by DarryOsh(m): 10:22am On May 13, 2013
[quote author=Nuzo']Tho related, there's a big difference between open communication and open marriage. I think the. Op is practicing both. No biggie!

Open communication is a situation where a couple is free to discuss all aspects of their relationship including finance, relatives, friends, work, intentions, advances from opposite sex and desires.

While open marriage encompasses the above and having any one of the couple be intimate with a 3rd party so far the partner is informed.

Some may find open communication too extreme and embarrassing while others may find it reassuring and safe.
So, be it open or secret communication...COMMUNICATION is one of the major foundations to stable relationships.[/quote]i thinj u guys misunderstand the OP. What he means by not having a girlfirnd dat wil cost more than 5k is that because his wife knows bout the inflow and outflow of cash in his accountif he decides to cheat, then the girlfriend would have to cost 5k or less cos his wife wud know otherwise. In other worjs, he cant cheat
RomanceRe: What Is The Cost Of Having A Girlfriend In Nigeria? by DarryOsh(m): 7:03pm On May 09, 2013
pc guru: I don't recall having any list, i tell my babe how it is, if am broke she knows and i don't hide it because that is what relationship is all about. There are times i had to cancel dates because No access to a car, and she has suggested Bus so many times,I don't know what foundation your relationship is based on, but mine is based on openness. that's why i love my babe kiss
thnx jare ...i dnt know why pple lik to spread the ideology that once u r in a relationship, u r doomed. In fact the concept of relationship has been abused. Is the op trying to say that those without cars and fat bank accounts do not enjoy their relationships. When guys talk like this, i just try to imagine the kind of girls they date. Why date someone you would never consider marrying. Dudes and ladies, u beta wake up and stop going into casual relationships that make no sense. I cant date someone who who not offer me financial assistance whan i need it. I am the guy, so what? Are we not supposed to b a team. No wonder marriages are crashing.
The only reason girls can make outrageous demands from their magas is cos there r guys willin to me magas just because of wetin them wan chop.
In summary, i believe in relationships people get what they deserve. A serious minded guy goin into relationship for the right reasons will most likey not fall into the hands of a girl who only wants an ATM. A girl who goes into relationship for the right reasons will not end up with a guy who only wants her as a play thing

FamilyRe: A Thread For Commitment-shy Individuals by DarryOsh(m): 1:35pm On May 04, 2013
vizboy: the call card is not a problem. Sometimes when i find a girl attractive and I will always go for her. But the moment she accept my love i lose my sense of communication. Some times i would ask myself if i should call these girl what would be the topic of discussion so with that i just loss interest in calling her. I hardly call may be 2 to 3 times a week
when u find someone who is on d sama page wit u socially, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually etc, u wont have to plan ahead wat to talk about. It just flow cos u r on the same page. Wich leads me to conclude that u have only found those that attract you, not those that u connect wit.

Foreign AffairsRe: What Does It Mean To Be African? - Black Diaspora Point-of-view by DarryOsh(m): 2:32pm On Apr 18, 2013
Shollypopz: It's not because of the culture. There are too many diverse cultures in Africa for anyone to group us as one because of culture. African culture ain't that similar at all!

The reason why we get grouped as one is because of ignorance. A lot of non-Africans see Africa as a country not a continent, hence the grouping.
Nobody knows sh1t about Nigeria. In the past, news reporters report event as, "Today in Africa, the Northern part of Nigeria, bla bla bla...." Ain't nobody going around calling people from USA North American, is there not a lil similarity in culture between USA and Canada??

Most ppl don't know enough about Nigeria or a single African country for it to stand alone in their minds, they group us in one little circle because we aren't big enough(economically, technologically, politically...) to stand alone.
you are very correct. i totally agree with you. it pisses me off that we are so powerless to write our own story, they project an image which they like or believe about us. the worst thing is that even the Africans begin to see themselves through the eyes of the west.Why cant we freaking write our own stories?..nobody should tell us we we are....
