What cogent reasons does she give, apart from " time is not right" ?
What do your family members think of her??
Romance / Re: We Have 2 Kids Yet She Is Not Ready To Marry Me by doeeyed: 4:02pm On Mar 30, 2012
What nationality is she? Any cultural issues involved, previous marriages...
Discussed with senior members of her family, after a full in-depth discussion on several occasions
with her?

Quite unusual for a Nija woman outside of the above issues described above. Other nationalities: can't say.

Hey chaps, its an open discussion.
No room needed.
Let's talk bout ur opinions on European, African art etc.

Come 1 come all.
Dating And Meet-up Zone / Re: 35 - 45 Yrs : Lets Hook Up by doeeyed: 5:58pm On Mar 18, 2012
My humble guess will be due to the rapid expansion of the Habsburg empire, a lot of Prussian influence is seen in some parts of Eastern Europe to mid Europe. Following the Danube course, various palaces ( visual representative of the ruling power ) exhibiting these influences exist.

Another reason may be royal families of Europe being pretty much intermarried, were heavy into their buildings, a show of imperialism and power. So its reasonable for cousin Wilhelm to be keen to build a palatial summer home with designs copied from Cousin Louis XIV.

The church had a huge investiture in the art, indirectly in the prevalence and spread of European architecture. Some other theories exist around the offering of services by the Templars, once the Crusader wars had stopped.

The African problem has been largely due to lack of records or data. We preferred oratory transfer rather than sustainable written literature. 2ly due to lack of a huge monarchy , maybe in part due to the topography and other factors, no overwhelming power ruled large parts of Africa for long periods other than the Zulu with considerable geopolitical influence. 3rdly, what remained from generations of oratory transfer which often was contaminated was eroded effectively with colonialism, following numerous inter-clan or inter-tribal wars.

Eroding the pride in the sustenance of time, climate -tested innovations and the will to perpetuate their existence. As most of the oratory content was descriptive rather than analytic, the theories were often rubbished, leading to further loss.

Point of correction, I'm an impressive chick maybe not heavily into
Impressionism.
Hey, its similar to taking a picture snap with blurred details.
For a painter, that's sure lazy.

Renaissance, those guys knew their anatomy, ??seen those muscles, sinews, ligaments
individually brought to life. Now that's hard work.
2ndly, most of their pictures were stories being told: simply lyrical.

With Gaudi, Picasso: there is an invitation to be enthralled and decipher the
hidden secrets n alternative meanings.

Simply not worth it.

If u or ur gf is uncertain about ur by networth without having a Bugatti V,
then u both need re-education.

You want to score against Arab boy, u r wasting ur time and resources.

Start a business where the lives of people u have lifted from poverty will keep
blessing and praying for u.
Imagine a scenario, out of anger someone comes in the middle of the night out of bad belle, scratches your beloved Bugatti, another tens of thou to repair: simply doesn't make sense.

Now if ur reasons include custom-made, hand made superior internal design with a 0-60miles
in 5secs and handles well, I might be a little sympathetic to your proposed new project.

But reason being a girl: setting new priorities is needed URGENTLY.
Dating And Meet-up Zone / Re: 35 - 45 Yrs : Lets Hook Up by doeeyed: 11:56pm On Mar 13, 2012
It's relative. I prefer Renaissance cos of the reasons listed above. I'ld like to look at a picture and want to delve in a bit more. Don't get that wt impressionism, maybe a bit in abstract art: ? Cubism.

An improvement, I wait to be convinced,
an alternative for sore eyes, yes.


U r really funny. Smart chick = feminist chick.
Can pay my way, but sure feels better when its being paid for out of a heart of love. Not some trade by barter, going by some NL rants n hard-done-by tales.

Newton vs Einstein, no mathematician. Can't say. But thought his law on speed of light was recently debunked. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Dating And Meet-up Zone / Re: 35 - 45 Yrs : Lets Hook Up by doeeyed: 11:27pm On Mar 13, 2012
Hmm, where do I start.
Impressionism reveals the artists interpretations of a scene or portrait with interplay of varying shades of light. Plein d'air style. Almost of landscapes. A snapshot not a story.

I feel there is more attention to detail in Renaissance art, the interplay of light and varying degrees of shadows give rise to different interpretations. There is fluidity, like a story being told: an opera in images. Therefore, more thought provoking. Eg the Mona Lisa, is she smiling, smirking or simply grinning: simply don't know.

Quite independent,but no feminist. Love to have the door opened for me, meals paid, ( no going dutch in my books : ), spoilt n cherished. That's why I'm a chick.

^^^^^^^^,d'accord.

Ivy, where u dey? U use cunning enter room through window behind Ted's back, now u NO wan talk.

Dali sculptures are interesting but his style may not necessarily appeal to someone requiring a brushed-up self portrait as was the case, more a caricature!!!. 2ndly, maybe he just got on Soa's nerves. He was quite an oddball, u know. Thrown out by his father, his king, the Spanish art master on his possible pro-Hitler sympathies at different times of his life.

[/b][b] undecided undecidedhello,
when u say spalten: do u mean the glue or gum used in the original work (Virgin and child)??

Regarding Durer, didnt know much about him. I suppose thats the Germanic Raphael / Da Vinci as he was into human anatomy,geometry. Will research his works and see if any are of interest.My interest in Renaissance art thrived on works by Da Vinci and his cronies and also visits to old churches, palaces where extensive frescoes are evident.
Simply beautiful.
Been to Sisi's palace, beautiful grounds,interiors, murals all flowing together, such symmetry; Beautiful to behold.
So no its a hobby not a profession. Wouldnt mind having a private gallery one day to feast my eyes on and also unravel some of the secrets behind the paintings.

I like the old masters as their works were deep, could be described as romantic almost like an opera.seamless.

Dali, Picasso, Gaudi and Monet, rather recently sanitized Klimt are my latter artists. A few of their works appeal.Some sculptures by Gaudi and Dali have always caught my eye, some paintings from the other 3 do it. Collecting perfume bottles by some of these artists or their estates is a recent hobby.

Yes I own prints!!!! would love to get the real thing though. do a bit of basic photography, capturing beautiful landscapes in the process; definitely will be included in my collection, someday.

Tchaikovsky and Handel will remain my fav.

will update on my chants, operas though.
Dating And Meet-up Zone / Re: 35 - 45 Yrs : Lets Hook Up by doeeyed: 12:46am On Mar 12, 2012
Wow,

Da Vinci, the man was an enigma, deep knowledge of astronomy,anatomy,engineering, literature etc. Other than painting, sculpturing. His complete works have not been fully understood bearing in mind the time he lived in.

For the Flemish brothers, only keen on the " the cross" due to its bright colours. Not keen on the Mary n child as it looks pretty grim n dirty, I suppose.
My interest lies more in Italian renaissance as quite a few works abound. They tend to be more famous too, investiture of the church et al.

Talking bout the Sistine chapel, simply breathtaking, neck aching though just to take it all in, would love to return again. Basilica San Pietra and its grounds is simply amazing. Walking down the large boulevard ( forgotten the name) towards the piazza was such an awesome experience, unforgettable.

Allegri, I'm not familiar with. But will listen to the miserere, though tongue in cheek, I hope its not some chant. I suspect the Mozart version may be better. Wl let u.know.

Talking haute couture, DKNY, Chanel do it for me. Dressed down gorgeous is more my style. Donatella (D&G) is a bit outrageous. Though getting some pieces won't hurt. It's like investing, isn't it. Funny enough, VB is beginning to get me interested though I'm not keen on her personally.

Cutting down to my budget, surprises abound in the least likely of places. Unknown designers wt good dresses.

Wow, u 4 real? 9ja man dey yan all this.

Kudos to Seun n his team.
It looks more streamlined and maybe easier to flip from section to section.


The color scheme and font size makes it difficult to read, a return back to the green and white may be better.
It identifies wt 9ja and also reinforces the patriotism thingy too I think in my humble opinion.

No lexicon@ to play wt, makes conversation quite dull.pls return them asap.
No previews tab available to correct mistakes.......no, no, no.
We'll soon be diving for cover from the .......

I find intrusive, that pple's identities are revealed at the bottom of the board. This is cyberworld, relative anonymity. Don't want to know or be known to be on any board, thank you very much.

Renaissance art,

The late masters ie Raphael, as he influenced a lot of his pupils later, Michelangelo: the Sistine Chapel is a testament. Beautiful!!!!!. Da Vinci he is the most famous of them all, but he had only a few paintings compared to the 2 above. The early masters, I'm learning about and understanding their patterns. Berninni, I do like his works though.

Baroque cuts it for me particularly the architecture: most old palaces in Europe are built on this theme, particularly during the prussian expansion. Music of Händel, Bach certainly express this flamboyant but organised pattern. It's playful, not as much as in Rococco art, colourful but still organised.

Sure there are a lot of chicks who r into this. But its not a conversation starter. It's easier talking shoe n bag. When conversing, ask about Sistine Chapel, duhhh!! Ask about Valentino, D& G, u get a full chapter: they are in the same country though.

Have to say, there are few 9ja men who r into this too, so u must be a rarer breed too. That's assuming u r 9ja. What does ur signature mean?
Dating And Meet-up Zone / Re: 35 - 45 Yrs : Lets Hook Up by doeeyed: 9:26pm On Mar 10, 2012

Which masters do u prefer?

Into Baroque art, 'music', 'architecture' too?

What do u think?
