Nice write up, it is even worse when married, some women don’t care about improvement at all, that is one reason for sidechicks because sidechicks will make all attempt to possess the man by doing just anything’

Exactly. But the thing is that when most side cjicks become the main one they will stop impressing him.

Romance › If You’re Sure He’s The Father, Why Fear The Test? by Dpsychologist(op): 12:56am On Feb 16

This Thread ie about Child Support, DNA Tests, and the Truth Nobody Wants to Say

A woman files for child support.
The man responds with a simple request: a paternity test.
Suddenly, she wants to settle “amicably” because the test might affect the child psychologically.

Pause.

Let’s remove emotion and look at this clearly.

If a man is being asked to take legal and financial responsibility for a child, he has every right to confirm paternity. That is not hatred. That is not wickedness. That is due diligence.

We DNA test products.
We verify contracts.
We audit finances.

But when it comes to fatherhood, some people expect blind trust.

That makes no sense.

Now, the argument that a paternity test will “damage the child psychologically” sounds noble on the surface. But let’s ask a harder question.

What damages a child more?
A discreet DNA test handled privately by adults?
Or years of tension, suspicion, and possible resentment if the man is unsure?

Truth does not damage children. Adult drama does.

If the man is truly the father, the test protects him and silences doubt permanently. If he is not, then the truth protects him from a lifetime of responsibility for a child that is not biologically his.

Both outcomes serve clarity.

This is not about attacking women. It is about fairness.

Men have lost jobs, homes, and freedom over child support obligations. In many countries, once paternity is legally assigned, reversing it is nearly impossible, even if later evidence proves otherwise.

So why should a request for proof be treated like betrayal?

If a woman is 100 percent certain of paternity, a test should not be threatening. It should be a formality.

Wanting to “settle amicably” only after a DNA request raises questions. Because if there is nothing to hide, what is the fear?

The deeper issue here is trust.

In an ideal world, partners would never doubt each other. But we do not live in an ideal world. We live in a world where mistakes happen, secrets happen, and systems require evidence.

Fatherhood is not a small matter. It is emotional, legal, financial, and lifelong.

A DNA test is not an insult. It is protection.

And if we truly care about children, then clarity from the start is better than confusion later.

Truth might feel uncomfortable for adults.
But it is always cleaner than uncertainty.

Romance › The Sexual Effort Gap Nobody Wants To Talk About by Dpsychologist(op): 7:14am On Feb 14*

Look, we need to have an honest conversation about something most people only whisper about after a few drinks.

Sexual performance criticism flows one direction in our culture. Women rate men, mock men, share detailed reviews with their friends about stamina and size and technique. A guy finishes too quick? He's getting roasted in the group chat. Can't maintain an erection? That's gossip material for months. Fair enough, performance matters.

But here's where it gets weird. That same energy rarely gets turned around.

You've got women who will critique a man's every move in bed but their own contribution is lying there like a starfish or log of wood waiting for magic to happen. In the cowgirl position she lasts just 45 seconds and she's already "tired" and taps out.

Doggy style requires an actual arch in the back, not just getting on all knees while staying perfectly straight but she can't even properly do it.

MouthAction? That's a special occasion activity that requires negotiation and gratitude.

Meanwhile she's still expecting him to do heavy lifting (literally), maintain rhythm, read her mind about what feels good, last long enough but not too long, and somehow make the entire experience cinematic.

This isn't about keeping score. It's about recognizing that good sex is collaborative, not a solo performance you critique from the sidelines.

The real issue is we've created a culture where men are sexual service providers and women are quality control inspectors. Men are supposed to "perform" while women are supposed to "receive and evaluate." That's not intimacy. That's a one sided transaction with a Yelp or rotten tomato review at the end.

If you're going to hold your partner to high standards, you need to meet them too. Physical effort, enthusiasm, creativity, communication. All of it matters from both people. You can't complain about someone being a one minute man when you treat sex like a cardio workout you're trying to finish as quickly as possible.

The double standard exists because we're not honest about it. Women get a pass on sexual effort because we've decided that "women don't enjoy sex as much" or "it's different for women" or some other excuse that lets everyone off the hook from having an uncomfortable conversation.

But plenty of women do enjoy sex. They just enjoy it more when they're allowed to be passive participants rather than active contributors.

So here's the real question: if we're going to have standards for sexual performance, shouldn't they apply equally? If a man needs to bring stamina, technique, attentiveness and effort, shouldn't a woman bring the same? Or are we just going to keep pretending that lying still and offering occasional direction counts as full participation?

Romance › The Unspoken Contract Destroying Modern Dating by Dpsychologist(op): 2:58am On Feb 13*

A man invites a woman over. He spends good money. Food is ordered. Transportation is covered. Drinks are flowing. The atmosphere is warm. Then, when he makes a move for sex, she says she is on her period.

He feels deceived.
She feels pressured.
Both leave irritated.

Now the real question is not who is wrong. The real question is this: why are two adults walking into the same room with completely different expectations and acting shocked when reality clashes?

Let us be honest.

Spending money on someone does not create a sexual obligation. It never has. It never will. Money is generosity, not a contract. If a man believes that paying automatically guarantees intimacy, he is not dating, he is negotiating a transaction.

At the same time, pretending not to understand why a man who invited you over privately might expect intimacy is equally dishonest. Adults know what certain settings imply. If you know you are not open to sex, say it clearly. Do not hide behind surprise. Do not enjoy the benefits of the evening while acting confused about the energy.

The real issue here is not periods. It is not money. It is not even sex.

It is communication.

Modern dating has become a chess game. People test boundaries indirectly. They avoid clarity because clarity feels risky. So instead of honest conversations, we get silent assumptions.

He assumes intimacy. She assumes affection without pressure. Both assume the other “should just know.”

And when expectations collide, everyone suddenly becomes a victim.

Here is the uncomfortable truth:

If you want sex, say so respectfully.
If you do not want sex, say so clearly.
If you are only spending money to secure access to someone’s body, examine yourself.
If you are accepting luxury treatment while knowing you are not emotionally or physically interested, examine yourself too.

Maturity is not about who wins the argument. It is about removing ambiguity before the night begins.

Dating is not supposed to be a trap. It is not a payment plan. It is not a moral test. It is two adults choosing each other freely.

The moment money becomes leverage and silence replaces clarity, the relationship is already broken before it even begins.

So here is the better question:
Are we dating to connect, or are we just running silent negotiations?

That answer determines everything.

Romance › Why “What Goes Around Comes Around” Is Mostly Wishful Thinking by Dpsychologist(op): 2:02am On Feb 12

“What goes around comes around.”

It sounds poetic. Balanced. Fair.

It tells us that life keeps score. That goodness is rewarded and wickedness punished. That the universe is quietly running a moral accounting system in the background.

But step outside motivational quotes and look at the real world. The idea collapses quickly.

Good people get blindsided by illness. Honest workers lose jobs. Loyal partners get cheated on. Corrupt politicians grow richer. Fraudsters build empires. Abusive men and women sometimes live long, comfortable lives.

If karma were automatic and mechanical, the world would look very different.

Let us separate emotion from logic.

The concept of karma comes from ancient Indian philosophy tied to reincarnation. In that system, consequences may unfold across lifetimes. Most people quoting “what goes around comes around” are not even referring to that framework. They mean something simpler. Be good and good things will happen to you soon. Be bad and punishment will follow quickly.

There is no evidence that life operates like that.

Now, here is where many people get confused.

There are consequences in life. But consequences are not cosmic revenge. They are patterns of cause and effect.

If you drink and drive repeatedly, your odds of crashing or being arrested increase.
If you train daily, your skill improves.
If you insult your boss, you risk being fired.

Those are probabilities tied to behavior.

That is not karma. That is cause and effect.

Karma suggests moral balance. Cause and effect describes risk, timing, and human systems.

The two are not the same.

Let us talk about relationships, since that is where this belief is heavily used.

We are told that if you treat someone well, they will treat you well in return. That loyalty guarantees loyalty. That kindness secures affection.

Anyone who has lived long enough knows this is not guaranteed.

People cheat on kind partners. People disrespect generous lovers. People leave stable relationships for chaos. On the flip side, some toxic individuals attract attention and admiration for years.

This does not mean being cruel is a winning strategy. It means human attraction is complex. It involves psychology, insecurity, confidence, timing, scarcity, social proof, emotional volatility. It is not a moral scoreboard.

Some individuals respond strongly to dominance. Others respond to warmth. Others respond to mystery. Reducing all of that to “good treatment equals good outcome” is childish thinking.

Another reason people cling to karma is emotional survival.

If someone betrays you, it hurts deeply. Saying “what goes around comes around” gives you relief. It restores a sense of justice. It helps you sleep.

But psychological comfort does not equal objective truth.

History proves this again and again.

Some criminals escape justice. Some innocent people are imprisoned. Some dictators die peacefully in luxury. Some hardworking people die unknown and broke.

Randomness exists. Timing exists. Luck exists. Power structures exist.

Pretending otherwise keeps you naive.

Now, let me be clear.

Rejecting karma does not mean embracing immorality.

It means understanding that the universe does not automatically reward you for being decent. Being ethical is a choice rooted in your values, reputation, long term strategy, and self respect. Not because the sky will strike your enemies for you.

If you live recklessly, patterns will catch up with you through probability and human systems. If you live wisely, your odds improve. But there are no guarantees.

Life is not a vending machine. Insert goodness. Receive blessing.

It is a chaotic mix of decisions, incentives, power, biology, economics, and chance.

The real danger of believing in automatic karma is passivity.

You may tolerate disrespect thinking the universe will fix it.
You may avoid strategic thinking because you believe justice is automatic.
You may refuse to protect yourself because you assume moral balance is inevitable.

It is not.

Justice requires systems. Reputation requires strategy. Success requires competence. Protection requires awareness.

Shit happens. That is not pessimism. It is realism.

The mature mindset is this:

1. Do good because it aligns with who you are and increases your long term odds.
2. Avoid harm because consequences are probabilistic, not magical.
3. Protect yourself because fairness is not guaranteed.
4. Stop waiting for cosmic revenge to fix your problems.

“What goes around comes around” is a beautiful sentence. I call it The Karma Comfort Blanket. It is just not a reliable operating system for real life.

Romance › Double Standards, Victim Narratives, And The Truth About Modern Relationships by Dpsychologist(op): 5:03pm On Feb 11

Let’s talk about this. A man lasts two minutes in bed and he becomes a joke. He is labeled weak, inexperienced, or useless.

A woman struggles to climax and suddenly the man “doesn’t know how to make her feel like a woman.”

A man without money is called broke.
A woman without money is called a struggler.
A man who leaves after sex “used” her.

But if both adults agreed to the sex, why is only one side accused of using the other?

These contradictions are what many men are noticing. And instead of pretending they do not exist, let’s examine them properly.

First, society often judges men by performance and provision. Sexually, financially, emotionally. A man is expected to perform, pay, protect, lead. If he fails in any of these, the criticism is direct and brutal.

Women, on the other hand, are often framed as victims of circumstance. If she lacks money, she is going through a phase. If she lacks sexual satisfaction, the man failed. If a relationship ends after intimacy, she was misled.

But here is the uncomfortable truth.

Adults make choices.

If two people willingly agree to have sex, both participated. Both received something. Both made a decision. Calling it “being used” only when emotions later change is rewriting history.

You cannot preach equality only when it benefits you. If we are equal, then accountability must also be equal.

If a man is responsible for his sexual decisions, so is a woman.

If a woman can reject traditional roles like “head of the family” in the name of equality, then she cannot selectively retreat into victimhood when outcomes are not favorable.

Equality is not selective. It is consistent.

Now, this does not mean manipulation does not happen. It does. On both sides.

Some men promise commitment just to get sex. That is dishonest.

Some women promise loyalty just to access resources. That is also dishonest.

Both are forms of using.

The real issue is not gender. It is incentives.

Modern dating has become transactional in subtle ways. Some men measure worth by access to sex. Some women measure worth by access to money. When expectations are unspoken, disappointment turns into accusation.

But here is a harder layer to this conversation.

Men often feel their struggles are dismissed. Women often feel their emotional risks are dismissed.

Sex carries different psychological weight for different people. Some women bond more through intimacy. Some men detach more easily. That difference creates asymmetry in emotional aftermath, not necessarily moral superiority.

So when someone says, “He used her,” what they often mean is, “She became emotionally invested and he did not.”

That is not always exploitation. Sometimes it is poor communication.

The real solution is not gender war.

It is clarity.

If you want commitment before intimacy, say it.

If you are not looking for something serious, say it.

If you believe in traditional roles, own it fully. If you believe in equality, accept full responsibility that comes with it.

You cannot demand traditional provision while rejecting traditional authority.

You cannot demand equality while rejecting equal accountability.

Modern relationships are struggling because both sides want the benefits of power without the burden of responsibility.

That is the real script flip.

And until men and women stop playing strategic victim and start practicing honest negotiation, the confusion will continue.

The game will not “end.”

It will simply keep exposing people who lack clarity, discipline, and self awareness.

The smartest move in modern dating is simple.

Know what you want. State it clearly. Accept the consequences.

Everything else is noise.

Romance › Re: The Lie Modern Dating Sells To Successful Women by Dpsychologist(op): 10:52am On Feb 10

Jman06:
This is the cold truth!
That's why I laugh when I hear some ladies talking about picking a man when they're ready. As if they have any man waiting for them anywhere to marry them whenever they want.

When a man has achieved financial success, he'll naturally go for much younger girls with their beauty, fertility, youthful energy still intact. No made man would choose a lady above 30yo for a wife regardless how wealthy or educated she is. Made men don't care about a lady's financial, academic or career success. It is usually the struggling guys that may want such ladies as a means of achieving financial success.

And due to hypergamy, such ladies often don't desire the struggling guys. This is why many ladies today are single in their 30s and above. They'll now start saying that men are scared of successful women. That's not true! Men are simply not attracted to older women for marriage. Some could use them for pleasure but when it comes to marriage, a man would normally go for younger girls. Even the struggling guys would cheat on his rich wife with younger girls when he has achieved financial breakthrough from being married to the successful women

You touched on a lot of reality we find ourselves. Younger women are always better.

Even when it comes to hook up scene and oloshoism, younger women are always chosen more than older ladies.

The best of a woman is always when she js younger not older.

Romance › The Lie Modern Dating Sells To Successful Women by Dpsychologist(op): 7:56am On Feb 10*

There is a quiet belief spreading in modern culture that many women absorb without questioning it:
that marriage is something you can postpone indefinitely, and when you are finally “ready,” you simply pick a husband the same way you pick a project or a brand deal.

Age does not matter. Time does not matter. Market dynamics do not matter.
Success, beauty, money, or influence will override everything.

This belief is comforting but It is also false.

Men and women do not control the same gates in relationships. We never have.

Women largely control access to intimacy. Men largely control access to commitment.
No amount of online outrage changes that biological and social reality.

A man cannot be intimate with a woman without her consent.
A woman cannot get marriage without a man’s proposal.

Those are not insults. They are facts.

Where modern thinking collapses is in assuming that leverage in one area automatically converts into leverage in another. It does not.

Attraction between men and women is asymmetric.

What most women are attracted to in men takes time to build: competence, confidence, resources, status, emotional control, leadership. These are late blooming traits. That is why many men peak later in life.

What most men are attracted to in women is front loaded: youth, beauty, softness, fertility, emotional warmth. These traits are strongest earlier, not later.

This is where the misunderstanding becomes painful.

When men gain money and status, their options expand. Doors open. Choice increases.
When women gain money and status, their options often narrow. Not because success is bad, but because it disqualifies many of the men they themselves are attracted to.

Hypergamy is real. Women generally prefer men who are equal or above them in status.
As a woman climbs higher, the pool above her shrinks.

The harsh irony is this:
the men she desires at that level are not impressed by her money or fame, because they already have access to younger women with less baggage and fewer expectations.

This is not hatred. This is market reality.

The mistake is believing that delaying commitment has no cost.
It does.

Time is not neutral in dating. It is directional.

You do not “wake up” at 40 and restart the game with the same odds you had at 25, no matter how successful you are. The world does not work that way for men, and it certainly does not work that way for women.

The real tragedy is that nobody says this honestly anymore.
So people walk confidently toward outcomes they do not actually want.

Save this post.
Revisit it in five years.

Reality always collects its debt quietly, then all at once.

Romance › Never Be The Fallback Option by Dpsychologist(op): 7:31pm On Feb 09

One hard truth many people learn too late is this: some people do not look for love, they look for rescue.

They live recklessly, make careless choices, avoid accountability, and then suddenly decide it’s “time to be serious.” That is when they start talking about marriage, family, and stability. Not because they have changed, but because chaos is no longer convenient.

Here’s the uncomfortable part. The person they now want to “settle down” with is often not the person they desired at their peak freedom. It’s the person they believe will tolerate the baggage, finance the reset, and clean up the mess.
This is not love,this is strategy.

Healthy relationships are built when two people choose each other from a place of wholeness, not desperation. You should never be someone’s exit plan from a lifestyle they are unwilling to take responsibility for. This applies to both men and women.

If someone suddenly discovers values only when consequences show up, pay attention. If commitment becomes attractive only when options dry up, pause. If you are being offered seriousness only after someone else has exhausted recklessness, ask yourself one question honestly: am I being chosen, or am I being used?

Self respect is knowing when to walk away, even if staying feels easier. You are not obligated to be the final chapter in someone else’s unresolved story.
Choose reciprocity. Choose clarity. Choose peace.
And most importantly, never build a future with someone who only wants stability because their past finally caught up with them.

SpencerForbes:
Humans are a blend of both logic and emotion, and high EQ is often what separates the successful from the rest. Your analysis of pregnancy is slightly flawed because it overlooks the shift from logic to survival. Before pregnancy, a woman is logical—calculating if a man is fit to provide. But once she’s pregnant, her brain shifts to "survival mode" for herself and the child. This is why she might lash out at the man paying the bills; it isn't a lack of logic, but an instinctual priority for survival over social niceties.

It is also a mistake to suggest all men are logical and all women are emotional. Some women are more logical than men and vice versa. Your violence analogy doesn't account for the fact that women often navigate the justice system better because they know how to utilize emotional intelligence. If a man and a woman commit the same crime, the woman often gets a lighter sentence because she knows how to play the emotional card, whereas a man crying in front of a female judge often just looks wea[/b]k.

The idea that suppressing emotion leads to a "collapse" is also debatable. Men and women simply solve problems differently. [b]When faced with poverty, a man might turn to crime while a woman might turn to sex work—different paths, but both are responses to the same pressure. Our parents weren’t wrong to teach us logic. They were teaching us to prioritize problem-solving over dwelling on the event. While both traits are necessary for society, it is the logical drive to find solutions that has actually moved us forward.

I see your points, but let’s break them down logically.

1. Pregnancy and “survival mode” ≠ loss of logic.
What you call “instinct” is actually applied logic under new constraints. Logic isn’t politeness or emotional restraint, it’s prioritization under pressure. A pregnant woman managing hormones, nutrition, immunity, and risk isn’t emotional chaos. She’s calculating outcomes to maximize survival for herself and her child. That’s intelligence, not emotion.

2. Patterns vs absolutes.
No one claimed all men are logical or all women emotional. My post is about patterns observed at scale. Men statistically dominate impulsive, high-risk behaviors like crime, preventable deaths, reckless acts while women generally score higher on long-term planning, conscientiousness, and risk assessment. That’s evidence, not stereotype.

3. Emotional intelligence ≠ emotional weakness.
Yes, women navigate the justice system well by reading people and situations. That is consequence-awareness in action. Foresight and strategy are logical tools; labeling them “emotional manipulation” just misframes the reality. Crying without strategy is emotion. Calculating how to respond effectively is rational.

4. Suppression is not problem solving.
Suppressing feelings is not logic, it’s postponing risk. Data on male suicide, breakdowns, and sudden violent behavior show the cost of delayed emotional processing. Problem-solving requires emotional literacy, not avoidance.

5. Poverty example proves the point.
A man turning to crime and a woman to sex work may both be survival responses, but the consequences differ. Choosing paths with lower immediate risk, even under pressure, is not emotional weakness my dear it is foresight and risk management.

Bottom line:
Women are not more “emotional” than men, they are more aware of consequences. Men’s so-called “logic” often masks impulse-driven decisions. If we want clarity, we should separate emotional expression from emotional decision-making. One is signal, the other is noise.

Patterns matter. Reality favors consequence-aware intelligence, not socially excused impulsivity disguised as logic .

Romance › When Decay Is Renamed Progress: A Message Every One Needs To Hear by Dpsychologist(op): 11:13pm On Feb 07

Listen carefully, because this is not noise. This is pattern recognition.

Modern culture has mastered one dangerous trick. It takes decline, repackages it with nice words, and sells it as growth.

Divorce becomes “just part of life.”
Lack of self control becomes “freedom.”
Hookup culture becomes “empowerment.”
Overexposure becomes “self expression.”
No standards becomes “being open minded.”

And slowly, quietly, right and wrong are erased.

You are told that standards are oppression.
That discipline is insecurity.
That restraint is weakness.

That anything goes, as long as it feels good.

Here is the uncomfortable truth. This does not strengthen people. It weakens them. Confused people are easier to influence. Distracted people are easier to sell to. Emotionally empty people are easier to control. That is not conspiracy. That is basic human psychology.

Look around honestly. Many people today are anxious, angry, exhausted, and unfulfilled. Not because they are useless, but because they followed advice that sounded good and led nowhere. Purpose was replaced with popularity. God was replaced with celebrities. Discipline was replaced with dopamine. Modesty was replaced with trends.

Instead of calling it confusion, culture called it empowerment.

Truth does not bend to trends. Biology does not care about hashtags. Consequences do not disappear because society votes them out. You can rename gravity, but if you jump, you still fall.

Men, this is where your responsibility comes in.

You do not fix a collapsing culture by arguing online. You fix it by becoming solid in a soft world.

Train your body. A weak body produces a weak mind.
Sharpen your mind. Ignorance is expensive.
Strengthen your spirit. A man without values is easy to push around.

Order creates power. Discipline creates freedom. Standards create stability.

You do not need to be perfect. But you must be grounded. You must stand for something real in a world addicted to illusion.

Do this for your future family.
Do this for the people who will depend on you.
Do this for yourself.

Because in a culture built on lies, anyone who chooses truth will always stand out.

Romance › Women Are Emotional? Let’s Test That Claim With Real Life by Dpsychologist(op): 10:40am On Feb 07*

(This is a sequel to my earlier Nairaland post: Are Women Actually the Weak Vessel?)

This post continues that conversation in a new light.

“WOMEN ARE EMOTIONAL” IS A MOSTLY A MYTH AND DOES NOT SURVIVE REALITY

If women are truly just “emotional” and men just “logical,” then this belief should survive contact with real life but most of the time, it doesn’t.

PREGNANCY ALONE DESTROYS THE MYTH

Pregnancy is not emotion.
It is biological management under pressure.

For nine months, a woman’s body regulates hormones, nutrition, immunity, stress, and physical limits to sustain another life.
Failure is not drama.
Failure is death.

After birth, the work increases: feeding schedules, sleep deprivation, hygiene, illness detection, and constant monitoring.

If this level of precision is “emotional,” then emotion is the most practical intelligence known to man.

DATA DOES NOT FAVOR MEN AS “MORE LOGICAL”

Globally, men dominate statistics for:

• Violent crime
• Reckless behavior
• Preventable deaths
• Impulsive decision-making

Women, on average, score higher in:

• Long-term planning
• Risk assessment
• Conscientiousness

If emotional means acting without considering consequences, the evidence points clearly in one direction.

And it is not women.

WHAT IS CALLED “EMOTIONAL” IS OFTEN JUST AWARENESS

Women ask uncomfortable questions:
“What happens next?”
“What if this fails?”
“How does this affect tomorrow?”

Men often confuse emotional suppression with logic. But suppressed emotion is not absence of emotion. It is delayed collapse.

That is why men dominate statistics for violence and sudden emotional breakdowns.

EVERYDAY LIFE EXPOSES THE CONTRADICTION

A man calls a woman emotional for questioning a relationship, yet stays stuck in one out of pride.

A man calls himself logical, yet makes life-changing decisions based on sex, ego, or peer approval.

Those are emotions. They are simply socially protected ones.

WHY THE MYTH PERSISTS

It is because calling women emotional is more convenient. It silences foresight, dismisses accountability and protects fragile certainty.

It is not enyirely a truth about women but a defense mechanism.

THE SIMPLE TRUTH

Women are not more emotional than men. They are more consequence-aware.

What gets dismissed as emotion is often foresight. And foresight is threatening to impulse-driven thinking.

Reality does not support the myth.
Repetition does.

Nairaland, over to you. Facts only.

budaatum:
We, is "turn personal experiences into universal laws".

If I ask Modern men on Nairaland, many are redpill olosho customer trained by Andrew Tate.

First, the claim that “modern men on Nairaland are redpilled olosho customers trained byb Andrew Tate ” is very weak and pathetic.

Nairaland is not Nigeria. It is not a census. It is a loud, anonymous subset where extreme views rise because outrage gets attention.

If we judged women by the loudest voices on Twitter or TikTok, the conclusions would be just as absurd.

You started your reply that when i say "We" i am turning personal experiences into universal laws

Yet you quickly rushed to do thesame thing you accused me by generalizing on Nairaland men while building your entire argument on internet caricatures.

But that change is inevitable.

Yes, change is inevitable. But change does not mean moral confusion. Progress does not mean exemption from accountability. Every healthy social shift in history worked because responsibility was demanded from everyone, not because one side declared permanent innocence.

Person who refused to have a vasectomy and instead drugged his wife every month because he was satisfied with his two boys and tell me he'd be able to ever sleep when my eyes open to a trick as old as Adam telling Eve she'd surely die.

I am someone who deals with facts so i had to check the Nairaland thread about the vasectomy and “drugging” story you cited. That narrative was over exaggerated by you . You made it look like he was secretly drugging his wife when she was actually taking it with her consent. What he admitted was failure on his part for not getting a vasectomy. The real issue in that post is migration stress, job loss, financial pressure, and a serious reproductive disagreement. That is a struggling marriage, not proof of male oppression or insecurity.

This is different from case where a man secretly drugs his wife and that is criminal abuse, not masculinity. Using an extreme or criminal case to define a whole gender is intellectually lazy.

By that logic, men could define women by stories of baby trapping or paternity fraud. Reasonable adults know monsters exist in every group. Atrocities are not arguments. They are outliers.

Tired of being oppressed by small minded men.

The quote “tired of being oppressed by small minded men” is an emotional statement, not a logical one. Oppression is systemic. Disagreement, incompatibility, insecurity, or bad relationships are not oppression. Calling every negative male experience oppression drains the word of meaning and disrespects people who lived under real structural oppression.

And some men are just Gods!

Finally, your own statement that “some men are just Gods” quietly collapses your argument. The moment you say “some men,” you admit men are not a monolith. That is the entire point.

No one here is denying that insecure men exist. Or abusive men. Or men threatened by successful women. What is being rejected is the habit of turning personal pain into ideology and anecdotes into universal laws.

If we are serious about progress, we must stop replacing old stereotypes with new ones. Accountability, maturity, and character are individual traits, not gender traits. I refuse to demonize men the same way I refuse to pedestalize them. Adults deserve nuance, not narratives.

Romance › Are Men Afraid Of Successful Women Or We Are Avoiding The Real Conversation ? by Dpsychologist(op): 1:00am On Feb 06

This argument keeps trending because people keep missing the point.

Some say men are afraid of successful women.
Others say that’s rubbish and an excuse.

The truth sits uncomfortably in the middle, and that’s why nobody wants to stay there.

Let’s clear one thing first and like the tweet in the image below says: Modern men are not strangers to capable women. We were raised by working mothers, taught by female teachers, managed by female bosses, and went to school with ambitious girls. Female success is not a shock. It is normal life.

So no, success alone is not what scares most men.

But let’s not lie to ourselves either. Some men are intimidated by successful women. Not all men and not most men. But enough to make the conversation valid. If men can feel threatened by another man’s success, why should a woman’s success be magically different? Ego has no gender.

Now here is the part both sides tend to avoid talking about much.

What many men react to is not success, but what sometimes follows it. A change in attitude. Respect quietly leaving the room. Confidence crossing the line into contempt. Independence being used as an excuse to avoid accountability.

At the same time, number of women are actually exhausted. Tired of shrinking themselves. Tired of being told to be less loud, less confident, less visible. Tired of their confidence being labelled arrogance simply because it comes from a woman.

Both experiences are real.

The problem starts when people turn personal experiences into universal laws.
“All men are intimidated” is false.
“No man is intimidated” is also false.

The real issue is insecurity, poor emotional maturity, and lack of balance.

A secure man is not threatened by a woman’s growth. He is inspired by it.
A grounded woman does not use success as a weapon. She carries it with grace.

Confidence is not arrogance.
Independence is not disrespect.
Success is not superiority.

Marriage is not boxing. It is not power play. It is not a battle for who earns more or talks louder. It is partnership.

Ideal 'Equality' is not about using history as leverage. It is about shared standards today. Empowerment is not exemption from accountability. It is responsibility with power.

If your success makes someone uncomfortable, it might be their insecurity.
If your success turns you into someone difficult to live with, it might be your character.

Both things can be true at the same time.

Until we learn to talk about this honestly, without shouting “men” or “women” like war slogans, this debate will keep recycling itself.

Now, who is ready for that uncomfortable honesty?

Adeoye11:
So how do I cope with a girl from a family where they allow her to be rude to all the family members since when she was young without anyone taming her till she becomes an adult.
Although the mother is the bread winner of the family, this so called girl does not even like her father at all.
And now such a girl would expect to live with a total stranger (a guy) who has gotten his feet up in life.
And now she is in a relationship with a guy and she is so rude to the person and always quick to end a discussion with "see don't worry I will be fine".

In this case who should be the winner or the peace lover?

See families should do well in upbringing their children so that they stop causing problems to the world

First, remove emotion and look at facts.
You are not dealing with a “strong woman” problem. You are dealing with a poorly socialized adult who was never corrected, never held accountable, and never taught how to disagree without disrespect.
Upbringing matters a lot o. So when a child grows up in a home where rudeness is tolerated, disrespect has no consequences, one parent is resented or undermined, emotional outbursts end conversation eh that child does not magically become respectful in romantic relationships.

She simply transfers that behavior to the nearest authority figure or intimate partner.
This isn’t about being a “strong woman” or you needing to be more patient. It’s about character and boundaries.

You can’t outgrow, outlove, or “understand” disrespect out of someone. When rudeness, shutdowns like “I’ll be fine,” or contempt for dialogue show up early, that’s not strength or maturity it is avoidance and control.

Being the peace lover with someone who lacks basic respect doesn’t create peace. It teaches them that you don't have boundaries.

Men make this mistake a lot. They confuse tolerance with maturity. In reality, tolerance without limits just erodes self-respect and escalates bad behavior.

The rule is simple. Address disrespect once, calmly and clearly. If it repeats, that’s your answer. You’re not her therapist, parent, or reform project.
Peace is not silence, love is not endurance and walking away early is not weakness. It’s clear judgment earned from experience.

Do the needful.

Exactly. Love is all about skills and knowing the ethics with making foundations around it.

I pity deluded men who just think love is everything.

Indeed, it is about skills.

Romance › Relationships Fail Because People Don’t Know How To Relate by Dpsychologist(op): 12:07pm On Jan 31*

Every time a relationship crashes, people rush to blame gender.

“Men are like this.”
“Women are like that.”
“Men can’t love.”
“Women are too emotional.”

It sounds clever. It feels satisfying. But it’s lazy thinking.

Relationships do not succeed or fail because of gender. They succeed or fail because of skills, or the lack of them.

The first killer is poor conflict management. Many people think love means never disagreeing. Wrong. Healthy couples disagree often. The difference is this: they argue to understand, not to win. The moment every conflict becomes a battle for dominance, the relationship turns toxic.

Next is lack of accountability. A relationship cannot survive when one person is always the victim and the other is always the villain. Growth begins the day both people can say, “I was wrong” without feeling weak or threatened.

Then there’s emotional regulation. If every small issue leads to shouting, sulking, blocking, or emotional blackmail, intimacy dies fast. No one wants to live with emotional chaos. Adults must learn to manage their emotions instead of weaponizing them.

Finally, power dynamics. Who sacrifices more? Who is always expected to adjust? Who gets forgiven easily and who is constantly judged? When power is unbalanced, resentment replaces love.

This is why most relationships fail . Married. Dating. Same story, different faces.

Stop blaming gender. Start learning relationship skills because love is not magic but competence.

Romance › What Can You Provide? by Dpsychologist(op): 12:21pm On Jan 24

Let’s stop pretending this conversation is imaginary.

In Nigeria today, dating has quietly turned transactional, and everyone knows it even if they don’t like admitting it. For a lot of people, especially in urban spaces, the first question in a romantic interaction is no longer “Who are you?” but “What can you provide?”

This isn’t about hatred. It’s about patterns.

You’ll see young women with decent jobs, education, and independence, yet the expectation still stands that a man must constantly fund the relationship. Rent, upkeep, soft life, emergency money, random transfers. Love is often measured by spending power. If a man cannot “show working,” he’s quickly dismissed as unserious.

Let’s be honest.
Many men already know this game.

Before feelings are even allowed to develop, financial capacity is assessed. Not character. Not values. Not discipline. Wallet first.

And yes, there are exceptions. There are responsible, self sufficient women who don’t operate like this. But denying the broader culture doesn’t make it disappear.

The uncomfortable truth is that dependency has been normalized and romanticized. It’s packaged as “princess treatment,” “feminine energy,” or “knowing your worth,” but at its core, it often translates to sustained financial reliance on men.

That dynamic breeds resentment on both sides.
Men feel used.
Women feel entitled.
Nobody is honest about expectations.

If we truly want healthier relationships, then adults on both sides need to stop acting helpless, stop outsourcing responsibility, and stop confusing affection with sponsorship.

A relationship should be partnership, not adoption.

If this topic makes you angry, maybe it’s worth asking why. Conversations don’t become invalid just because they’re uncomfortable.

And no, pointing this out doesn’t mean attacking women.
It means questioning a culture that quietly teaches adults not to stand on their own feet.

Growth starts with honesty.
