Style or no I still think she has poor fashion sense.

DCMIX:
Many relationship mistakes men make have to do with not knowing when to take a statement or question from their significant others at face value, and when to dig around for a deeper meaning. Often, we’ll just go by the words themselves, because it usually seems easier. However, this can have disastrous long-term consequences. We’re expected to read between the lines.

Here are some tips:

1. “Fine.”
Translation: The opposite of fine. This just means that the discussion is over.

2. “Do whatever you want.”
Translation: This is a test of your judgment. I’m not going to tell you if I think it’s okay or not to do this thing. You should know enough about me by now to know if I’m okay with it. Which I’m not, by the way. If you do this, we are through.

3. “I need space.”
Translation: Get away from me. We’re probably about to break up.

4. “Are you seeing anyone?”
Translation: I’m interested, but I don’t want to waste any more energy on you if you’ve already got someone in your life. If you do, be honest right now. If you don’t, ask me out please.

5. “I’m almost ready.”
Translation: I’ll be ready when I’m ready. Could be 10 minutes, could be an hour. Find something else to do.

6. “You don’t have to, but …”
Translation: If you don’t you’re going to be single very soon.

7. “We need to talk.”
Translation: I need to talk. You need to listen.

8. “We’ll talk about this later.”
Translation: I’m so furious with you that I can’t think straight. I need more time to gather ammunition and/or think about what I’m still doing with you.

9. “I don’t want to ruin our friendship.”
Translation: You will never see me naked.

10. “It’s pretty.”
Translation: Thank you for the gift. But I’m going to exchange this for something I actually like.

11. “Nothing.”
Translation: Did you seriously ask me, “What’s wrong?” As if you don’t know. Everything is wrong. Everything.

12. “Whatever.”
Translation: You have won this round, but I refuse to concede.

13. “I forgive you.”
Translation: I’ve decided I can live with what you’ve done. But you should know that I’m going to use it against you for the rest of your life.

14. “Does this make me look fat?”
Translation: If you answer “Yes,” you’re an idiot. Just tell me I look great.

15. “I’m not hungry.”
Translation: You order whatever you want, just know that I’m going to be picking off your plate, and I don’t want you to give me any s**t about it.

16. “That guy is hot.”
Translation: I think you’re taking me for granted and/or you’re starting to let yourself go a little, so I’m lighting a little fire under your a*s.

17. “Sense of humor is the most important thing to me.”
Translation: But I’ll settle for that guy with the six-pack and giant dong.

18. “Let’s take it slow.”
Translation: I’ve got at least one other guy on a string right now, and I haven’t decided yet which one of you a like more.

19. “I’m sorry.”
Translation: I am empathizing with you for something shi*ty that you went through. This does not mean I am admitting fault in any way.

20. “I’m tired.”
Translation: I don’t want your di*k anywhere near me tonight. I’ll be going to bed soon.

21. “What did you say?”
Translation: It’s up to you to rephrase that stupid thing you just said to avoid a huge fight.

22. “I’m really busy right now.”
Translation: I don’t want to date you. Please stop calling me.

23. “I’m not mad.”
Translation: I’m very mad at you.

24. “Do you think she’s pretty?”
Translation: Tell me I’m pretty. And you get bonus points if you don’t even look at her before you answer.

25. “Do You Love Kids?”
Translation: I want to have babies, but I don’t want to scare you off. However, based on your answer, I will know your level of commitment.

26. “Don’t worry about it.”
Translation: you haven't done what I asked you to do, I can’t count on you for anything.

27. “Maybe.”
Translation: Yes.

28. “We’ll see.”
Translation: No.

29. “Yes.”
Translation: Yes. Or maybe. But probably no.

30. “No.”
Translation: This one’s not open to interpretation.

Trash

Must u turn every issue in Romance section into gender fight? Instead of posting topics that help romance, relationship and marriage u are trying to breed contention. Honestly this gender fight is stale and boring...and immature

Martin0:
PRIDE is a relationship killer! It will take your friendships, your marriage, and any other relationship you value, and tear them up into shreds. In its wake, pride will leave behind hurt, bitterness, destruction, and pain. Not a pretty picture, is it?


A common sign of pride is the refusal to say “I’m sorry.” The inability to apologize can appear for two reasons. First, a prideful person may not be able to see they are wrong. Second, a prideful person might not be willing to admit fault even when they know it is there. Either way, the words “I’m sorry” are never heard or if they are, they are quickly followed by “but you….”


Pride makes people defensive when criticized. Criticism is not always bad. Proverbs 15:31 says, “If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise.“ Likewise, Proverbs 25:12 says, “To one who listens, valid criticism is like a gold earring or other gold jewelry.” However, if you’re full of pride, criticism strikes an ugly chord, and your immediate response is to get defensive.


Pride makes a person self-centered, wrapped up in thoughts of their own comfort, own well-being, own opinions, and own points of view - often dismissing or excluding others (including their spouse) in the process. Not a communicative, healthy, growing marriage there.


Pride says we deserve to do our own thing and go our own way. Marriage demands that we sacrifice our individual dreams and desires for the sake of the relationship. It requires us to submit our wills to one another in order for the union to flourish. Pride convinces us that sacrifice is below us and submission is unnecessary.


When pride is present, intimacy is absent. A couple can be full of pride or they can have a healthy marriage, but they cannot have both. A wise couple will recognize the agony of pride and will do everything in their power to eradicate from themselves and their relationship.

Why are u disturbing me?

Odegbami1:
I am so impress with that achievement when people that are supposed to be offloading cement are use as strikers in one club. Yeye dey smell

which club? Oya tell me, i no go tell others i promise

RuthDaniels:
You need not suffer our eyes or cringe our brains with your tales as logic demands, when you are with someone who doesn't add value to your life but rather diminish the little you are fortunate to have, you kick the fellow out. Do we need to spell that out for you?


BTW as for your topic, It is not always what a woman has to offer but what you are man enough to get out of her. Make her your sex object and she will be, make her your partner or helpmate and she will be. What often kill you guys is pride and ignorance!

what brought about pride and arrogance in this discourse? Stop shifting posts please. U women go into a relationship expecting ur guy to be the ATM...always bothered about what a man will bring to the table. U don't bother what u will offer him that will be of value to his life. Dont give me that cr*p about advise, helpmeet, he does not need a nanny. Women these days place much relevance to offering men their bodies as if sex is an achievement.
Biko dont be annoyed, I just had to quote somebody

XhosaNostra:
The thing is, you're also refusing to see it from a woman's perspective, so go & become a gay yourself.

Keep ur emotions in check and maintain a decent conversation...someone is beating u in an argument and u are just trying to troll. Biology is biology whatever ur emotion is.

Na him sabi

Okorocha should continue talking rubbish... IMO people have their eyes on the Zuma statue

Nutase:
For some of you dumb NLs who have made comments like "the only thing a woman has to offer is sex". This is one of the sacrifices women make that go unnoticed. Besides check your mother before making such dumb statements.

My mother can never post her nudes on social media

Sheun001:
Stop talking with sentiment pls
We all know pogba is good buh how can you compare him to de bruyne
Debruyne has more creativity fast thinking and execution pogba just believes in his physical strength

And again take a good look at their respective teams
If pogba were to be in man city he can't bench any one of those midfield players

so gundogan, fernandinho and bernardo silva will bench Paul pogba??! I dislike sentimental people

Heartbreak isn't easy to manage but you just have to try...pls take heart.The right guy will come

Someone created a thread on women hating each other and easily getting jealous... this thread confirms that assertion to be true. One female even said Kira bleached her skin...please bleach urs and let's see

prettyboy5:
Dude, the advice you gave about "ignoring", it doesn't apply to you as well?

Dude you are just a kid here and displaying it glaringly, first you said you would use one of your "numerous" accounts to finish me off with insults, is this not the same person who was saying he would report me to mods that I insulted him? So you have numerous accounts to insult people but would cry to mods at anything that you have been insulted?

Please how old are you kid? Having numerous accounts as you claim here is just laughable! Like seriously? Grow up kid!

.
That guy is really a child. I was quietly reading his comments. Imagine on a football thread, something that has no impact on our respective lives, he is getting emotional and threatening to report to mods.
Sounds like what my 11 year old baby brother would say

Threebear:
By the end of the season, man u won't be in the Top 4 ,go and write it down somewhere.
Started from four goals on average per match, now you're just one point ahead of Chelsea because of a careless draw.

Until then. Right now United are ahead of Chelsea. Deal with it and stop crying.

zicoraads:
Yea, right

I know how it feels to look directly into the mirror and see a reflection you would rather not see

Savage.
Guy u too much

I put it to you that girls are more desperate for a boyfriend than guys are, for a girlfriend.
The thing is, an average Nigerian girl lives a large percentage of her life in pretense

Dead Everton.. Everybody jst dy count point on dere head

Except Chelshit

Who is IPOB? Is it the name of a human being? Or a tribe? Applying this logic means we must also refer to all Yorubas as Baddo ritualists...and all Hausas as Boko Haram terrorists, all Fulanis as Herdsmen.
I am not an IPOB because IPOB is not a person.
U just know an attention seeker when you see one, sometimes just don't need to see them.
I am not questioning ur belief, sanity or choices but this thread is a bit senseless. You are not passing any message with it...u probably want to insult a group of persons for their belief whereas u are trying to promote urs...it's hypocrisy. It is also possible that Buhari does not and will never know u or any of your family members and neither will IPOB.
U have no say in the destiny of Nigeria ,u are not important... at least not through Naira land. The difference between u and the proponents of the Biafran ideology or struggle are humans like u, with manhood between their legs...the are brave enough to not hide in a public forum typing trash.
If you want to make a statement pls go out there and tell the world...otherwise all this is childish. You may think u are insulting some persons but it is possible they don't care about u at all.
I am 100% percent a Nigerian and also a democrat.
IPOB is someone's dream and borne out of a person's conviction. What is ur dream? And how many persons know about it, outside nairaland?

La Click la evaporate

Should we fry yoghurt?

We have seen...so?

konji sef

I do n tire for this Man u team...I am already fed up defending Mou sometimes I wonder if his detractors are not right after all.
How can u play for 90 minutes without a strategy?
The way things are going I doubt Mou will out stay Van Gaal, especially with Ancelotti a free agent

OP I am almost 22 and I have NEVER had sex.
I've watched a lot of obscene videos and heard a lot of obscene things which sometimes triggers sexual urge and puts a lot of pressure on me.
I can't even tell my friends or brothers that I don't have a girlfriend yet. I am not some ugly broke dude...not at all. I'm just shy, that's all.
But then I try to not think about sex, I just focus on my aspirations and dreams, I am always busy...so busy and so focused on myself that I rarely think of things like marriage, relationship or some reproductive process. I compare myself to my friends who have regular sex and I don't see how they are better than me.
I just want to be successful in life...The time for relationships will come

engrelvis:
d point am trying to make here is for a coach to bring out d best in players.luk at what pep has done to average players like sterling,stones,sane ,even debruyne

Let's look at Lingard, Valencia, Herrera ,fellaini, young, Jones in the same context.

engrelvis:
please I dnt think I agree with u on dis.every top club want to b winning n playing well

True...but with the right resources. U can't give me substandard building materials and expect me not to build a substandard structure.
Look at the EPL table and tell me the positions do not reflect the work put in during the last two transfer windows

nezzar:
Impatience in football Bro??
Manu is one of the best football club in the Epl.....so as a coach u av 2 keep that standard of at least winning a major trophy every year...not carabao cup or the F.A cup

What I am saying is that u should sometimes allow things to flow naturally. True United have underperformed sometimes but what else do u want Jose to do with this present squad?
Give José his own players and allow him refurbish this team...Imagine the club refusing to pay 48million for perisic in the summer.Today Van dijk is sold for 75 mill.
Imagine a combination of Perisic and Lukaku.
I feel Jose has not been given full freedom as regards the squad and transfers.
Fact is their is little quality. Smalling, Darmian, Rojo, young, fellaini, Carrick, lingard, ...show me another club among the top 6 that would have these players in their first XI

Can u imagine Man utd team or first XI before Jose joined? They were playing languid, vision less possession football with average bunch of players. Do u guys think it's that easy to change as an incoming manager? But Mourinho took united to win 3 trophies...what did City win?
Jose has had to drain all the quality he can from this squad...this is as far as he can go with the quality he currently has. Even so United have been brilliant.
City are better I admit, there is absolutely nothing Jose can change about that from a coaching point of view

My problem with most fans is impatience. City finished 3rd last season. We finished 6th.Today city are 1st and we are second. Pls u guys should take it easy and stop comparing to city.
Pls focus on your team and stop watching Man city.
Guardiola inherited a quality squad, a title winning team, a team with a footballing philosophy laid down .Even by last season everyone knew City squad was brilliant they even added more quality so u should expect them to soar
