onila:I'm really not sure. Sometimes I get the feeling that some of the guys I have met in the past have been interested just because they had an certain thing for African/Black girls. Depending on whether or not the guy is/was raised in the US I can generally gauge their reason for being interested. Hmmm, I guess my personality if anything. I can be pretty laid back at times ![]() |
Honestly, I don't know ![]() |
Here's my bit of love to my Naija men: To my Nigerian brothers who are doing what they need to do academically, socially, financially, and any other way that has some sort of positive contribution to Nigeria and the world as a whole, may you all continue to be blessed. I hope for nothing but success. I know the road for you all as African men has not and will never be easy but I have faith in you all. I know that no matter what happens you will always pull through. I may come of a bit strong in my feelings towards some of the things I see within our community but it is because I love you all and I know the strength that is within you all. As a young Nigerian woman, I want nothing but the best for you. . . So please do not be upset with me when I say something to some of you about your behavior. I say those things with love because I know that as a people we are destined for greatness. I would expect that as a young Nigerian woman if you saw your sisters doing something that is detrimental to her existence you would help her. So as I do that to you, I expect you to do the same to me. My Nigerian men who are so divinely created, I humbly ask you all--stay strong, stay focused, and stay blessed. The world has yet to see your greatness but with time, they will! |

kokoye:Lmao, eh ya ![]() Chei, it would be funny if he believed you ![]() |
OK2NV:Ok, I know I shouldn't be laughing but the thought of a guy trying to screw a girl in the ear and eye created some really funny yet weird images in my mind ![]() |
I'll try to see if I can get another pic of my friend's baby. I don't have a baby yet so I've got no personal pics to post ![]() |
@Nj girl : You can think whatever you want to, that is up to you. I've stated that I don't have and never did have a preexisting grudge. No offense but as an individual you are of no significance to my life or existence so you saying I have a "grudge" is highly unfounded and false. With that being said, how I choose to address you and your ignorant bias is my decision. I don't sit here and nitpick on how you choose/don't choose to express yourself. If you wanna speak in a manner that dumbs down the basics of the English language, then you are more than welcome to do so. I will in no way stand in your way as you do that. I on the other hand will continue to speak and address you and any other person on this thread as I choose. If you don't like the way I speak when I address your bias falsifications then that is your problem, not mine. I'm not going to change the way I am addressing you just to suit whatever manner that would be more desirable to you. Unless I have told you that I have some sort of personal vendetta against you, you shouldn't assume that I have one. I simply pointed out things in your comments that demonstrated the double standard bias of your thinking and the thinking of many others. Yes, there are gender inequalities in this world but for you to be going around proclaiming these double standard gender grieves as a justification for it being ok for a woman to cause physical harm to men because they "cause insignificant physical harm as opposed to the reverse." doesn't make it ok. As a whole, anyone with half a brain and an ounce of sense can and would recognize that domestic violence is wrong no matter who is initiating the violence. You're basically saying its ok for women to hit men because men can do more damage. Now that my dear is wrong! No one, and I repeat no one should be subjected to any sort or abuse just because one gender has historically been known to have the upper hand. You do nothing more than perpetuate the ill nature of domestic violence and your only excuse is that a man can do more damage?! Believe it or not there are men who are in abusive relationships with women and because the societal notions of a man's masculinity and power is questioned, often times they're never taken seriously which enables the cycle of abuse continue. If you're one of those people who jeer at men who seek help because they're the ones who are being abused then it only shows the level of thinking that you possess. Do not sit here telling me about what happens or doesn't happen in Nigeria. I know what my countrywomen go through, and honestly it breaks my heart--like I have said before on this forum, I work with such victims. . . Even those who were born and raised with the mentality that is rampant in Nigeria and many other parts of the world due to cultural, social, and religious backing so please, spare me of those "Do you know?" questions because the answer is yes, I do know those things and in the past, I have witnessed abuse as well. I agree, women [worldwide] need to enlighten themselves on the issue of domestic violence but the manner that you go about explaining or justifying certain acts of one gender is not appropriate nor is it helpful to the advancement of domestic violence prevention. Your only excuse to back up any of the things you've said is "Like there's ever going to be a time when there will be gender equality on this planet", well if you want to follow the same logic when replying in that manner then you could have easily have said "Like there's ever going to be a time when there will never be domestic violence on this planet", its no different because you're perpetuating the cycle of abuse and the notion that there really isn't much that can be done. As a whole, my response to you isn't about me liking or disliking your thread or being sexist. The only individual who is being sexist within our discussion is you. I wasn't trying to go out of my way to "verbally attack" you. If I was, you would have known it by now. I just stated my thoughts as I saw fit. 25omega:Thanks 25omega |
@OP: Hmmm, I don't know. I guess stupidity is the main thing that's keeping me from really committing ![]() |
Nj girl:I don't have any preexisting grudges with you or anyone else here. What I have a problem with is you downplaying domestic violence on a whole due to gender. That to me is complete and utter bullshit. Yes, I will agree that the demographics will show a much larger number of male abusers than female but for you to even sit here and trivialize any aspect of abuse regardless of how much or how little it may appear to you, is wrong! I've always been and will always remain a strong believer in equal rights for both genders but when someone like you sits here and downplays someone else's pain because of your own personal gender grievances, then it only demonstrates the lack of compassion you have as a human being overall. Don't sit here and tell me crap about looking at statistics because I know what they are. I work with abuse victims! I've seen it firsthand. If there is anyone who needs to be educating themselves on such an issue, it should be you! Roland17:Please ask am because apparently certain people have been sippin' on ignorance juice! |
odumchi:I think I'll just stick to the 'other' category. I can't pick one over the other when both are a part of my existence. |
@OP: While I agree that guys who physically harm women should be dumped, I don't agree with the double standard notion that women who harm men physically are far and few. It's beliefs like that contribute to misconceptions of physical abuse within relationships. Anyone regardless of their gender should be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! cynthiafred67:Should be loved?!?! Life not being easy as a woman is no reason to go around throwin' your fists up at someone! Stop making excuse for people who willingly choose to cause harm to others. sexkillz:Well said! I don't know why people choose to take on idiotic double standards as a means of justifying their own personal gender griviences. Nj girl:Wrong is wrong so stop bullshitting and making excuses for your double standard notions! |
@OP/Topic: My day is ok so far. I'm just trying to pass the time by goofing around on my iPad. So far, I'm still semi-bored. Anyway, in about an hour I'll be heading off to my friends boyfriend's house--he's out of town so I'm keeping her company till he gets back to New York. Hehehe, it'll give me a chance to eat all the snacks in his house ![]() |
Just thought I'd add this. It's a picture of my friend's baby ![]() I know its a side pic so bear with me ![]()
|
Hell yeah! |
odumchi:I'm a mixture of Ibo and Calabar. Mostly Ibo though. |
Awww, babies are so sweet |
MsDarkSkin:Ya see, this is what my yeye family should have gotten me for Christmas ![]() |
