Romance / Re: Is There Love In A Polygamous Marriage? by InkedNerd(f): 11:22am On Mar 24, 2012
kambili190: just wondering because I am not familiar with this concept.

I mean if you love your husnband and even if you are not jealous kind, it must be hard to know you have to sleep alone because your husband is sleeping with another woman. I don't get this concept. no man could accept his wife sleeping with other men under one and the same roof, so how can a woman accept this? does this mean this marriage is not about love but for some purpose? like for example the woman wants to be taken care in financial terms and the men wants to enjoy several women and have lots of kids?

i heard of a family where a man wanted to marry a woman but she refused but because the family needed money the younger sister agreed to marry this man. they married. what is this? he can't marry one sister so simply takes the other? they were total strangers, married and got many children.

how can polygamy be about love?

Like any relationship, it for those who are mature enough to handle it. Although its understandable as to why an individual may feel jealous, that's not to say that such a relationship cannot work or lacks love. Feelings of jealousy can arise within monogamous relationships as well.

The story you describe of the man who wanted to marry the woman but married her sister isn't one of a polygamous nature. While strange, it isn't polygamous. As for you saying that no man can accept the idea of his wife sleeping with another man, that is not true. I take it that you've never heard of a polyandrous relationship? Human beings as whole are not genetically inclined to be with just one person. The idea to be with one person is one that is of a social nature. Naturally speaking we're designed to always look elsewhere and scope what is around [I'm not excusing acts of cheating and deceit] but we're more than able to attain relationships that are based solely on monogamy just as there are those who can maintain relationships on polygamy and polyandry. Because you can't fathom the idea of your partner being with someone else doesn't mean that it is not an idea or living situation that doesn't work for others. There are indeed people who are perfectly fine with such a set up and live happily. The fact that there are more than two people involved in the mix doesn't mean that love isn't a factor within the relationship. And while it may seem hard to understand the concept you need to take into consideration that by you asking such questions whether for enlightening purposes or not, it shows that you have a set standard on what you believe or think that love is and with that being said you should try to understand that not everyone lives by that standard.

jobfront: Nigerian girls are all beggars, always begging for one favour or the other, and can never give cos beggars don't give, never have a boom day! Shameful truth that most won't admit but they know they are just advanced beggars!!!

Sweerie, why do you sound so angry? Why don't you just hanging out with these yeye girls? Perhaps if you'd stop pickin' up riffraff, you wouldn't have this problem undecided

Romance / Re: Why Are Most Broke Guys More Loving Than Those With Extra Cash? by InkedNerd(f): 8:15pm On Mar 23, 2012
@OP: Well, some guys with money may feel that all they need to show a woman 'love' is to shower them with money because they think that some, if not all women want is money therefore eliminating the idea of romance while the poor guy may think that love is all he has to offer since money obviously isn't an option.

Smh! Oya, what's got your boxers all bunched up now?

We're not all beggars. Yes, some are but not all.

Please tell me, what makes the average Nigerian guy who walks around pretending to have expensive clothes [yet borrow it from his friends], throwing cash around like its his own [yet he probably borrowed it from his friend], and presents himself as someone he's not, what makes him any different from the average 419er? tongue

Romance / Re: Women Checking Out Mens Backside by InkedNerd(f): 7:40pm On Mar 23, 2012
It's no different from a guy checking out a girls butt. I always here guys asking girls this question and what we would do with a guys butt but its the same things guys do--caressing, handling, and any other act that can be deemed as intimate or sëxual. Just the other night I saw a guy with a nice butt and I whispered to my Ghanaian friend that he had a nice äss grin
Romance / Re: Long Lost Love/ The One That Got Away by InkedNerd(f): 7:34pm On Mar 23, 2012
pato405: wow! nice thread. Javalove..thanks for sharing.

don't really know where to start from, but I must say..i had an austere childhood, lived an ascetic life all through teenage years. attending a single sex school and living in a neighbourhood congested with the hoipoloi even made matters worse. uni days were fraught with so much challenges. hence, I hadn't the opportunity to blench at the thought of affording these wonderful experience. sometimes, I just wish i could turn back the years and bask in youthful/teenage romance.

well, service days came and I tried making up for lost time. I was more or less emotionally catatonic having come so far without such experiences. what can a helpless bro do? i tried catching my fun in my own little way - had some meaningless dalliances devoid of emotional attachments. perhaps it all happened that way because I was more or less rigid..or call it naivete.

be that as it may, it was time to move forward after service year. I was back to Lagos from sokoto. hired a liliputian but cosy apartment and was ready to get kicking. guess the goddess of romance smiled at me when I met Vivian; a 200level unical student then [5years ago] she was home in Lag for the holls. she was prolly sent from the third heavens to me..perhaps to compensate me for the years of deprivation in this regard grin.she was all i could wish for in a lady and even more! I had gone to her sales outlet [shop] to make call with their paid phone which she opeates along her mums gift shop. we got chatting. days later, I passed by the shop and exchanged pleasantries with her. we got chatting again. gradually, we became very close, exchanged numbers and with emotions building up, our relationship snowballed deep into midnight calls. thanks to MTN. wink. we exchanged calls almost on daily basis. occassionally, i'll pop into her mums shop [where she assists] asking after her. at a time, her mum realised my intentions [and may be her daughters inclinations towards me as well because mums can be very smart.. grin] but she was cool and friendly. sometimes, she'll encourage me to feel free, sit down and wait for Vivian particularly if she sent her on a little errand and was sure she'ld be back in a couple of minutes. never seen such an understanding woman. however, i bungled the whole thing. shame on me! sad all this while we talked on phone [and for over a year] I didn't tell her about my feelings for her.

i was wasting too much time and i knew it. At a time, she summoned the courage and insinuated her feelings for me, albeit delicately in her statements when we talked on phone. for instace, while having a chat, she might just chip it in sayng..''you know how much I like you na'' and stuffs like that. to me, that was enough green light, but I was just scared! scared shit of commitment. again,i felt every relationship had it's demand on finance and more to it than just the romance dimension. she wasn't and never asked me for money though but I just had this inexplicable cold feet i couldn't figure why. I had just finished service and was innundated with that desperate search for a plum job,could hardly afford basic needs though looking good and putting up an appearance grin, facing the future with so much uncertainty. guess, i hesitated too much..and then came the bombshell..her step dad [as her mother re-married] got transferred to Calabar from Lagos. in as much as this was some good news for her because it meant she'll be closer to Uni, it was bad news for me..it spelt the distance out in capitals. we kept in touch though through phone calls...but it was never going to be the same again. then the call rate dwindled, dropping by the day, fading out and ebbing off gradually. then finally, all I could hear was that lethargic,pathetic,sluggish and tardy sounding female voice...

''the number you have dialled is not available at the moment, please try again later''

angry angry angry angry angry sad sad sad sad

I have also since relocated abroad and changed number. she doesn't have my current number as I have not been able to reach her. i have made several futile attempts to search for her on facebook. i still catch glimpses of her smile in my fantasies. my soft spoken angel with deep sense of humour..i really miss you Viv. pls if you are reading this, try find your way back to me via this thread. I still care babe.

Awww, this one really made me sad--especially when I read the part about you thinking about her smile cry

I think by now, you should be able to "communicate your ideas" to ANYONE without the use of foul language?
I dont like and l dont want to be "abused" since l did not abuse anyone in my contribution or did l?
Rancid comments laced with gutter language (like who gives a f*ck about....) takes the meaning out of an otherwise sensible comment, l hope we will have a better opportunity to discuss issues in "a gentleman fashion".
For now, l wish to avoid getting confrontational for no reason.

Cheers.

Lastpage!

BTW: My explanation was based on the Op's statements. She never said anywhere in her post, "that the father was also abusive towards his children, so l take it that he is NOT". The "fight" was between two of them (father and mother).

While I understand that this is a public forum, use of that language was not geared towards you so let's get that straight. Me deciding to throw the "F" word into the mix doesn't change the message nor the intent of the message. If I had written my entire response in ebonics, pidgin, or any colloquial manner, would that have changed the point or message I was trying to get across? No! If you want to believe that it has, then that is your problem not mine. Since you seem to be so keen on pointing out informalities of people's comments, then why did you not reference ZUBY77 when he said "bunch of crap"?

As for you saying that your comment was directed at the OP, I understand that but I was pointing out something that you clearly failed to take into consideration since apparently gender discrimination was what see to be taking a bite at your behind. Yes, gender discrimination is very much alive and well in Nigeria on both sides but I highly doubt that with a culture that regards women as second class citizens, you can truly sit here and make it seem as though the scale of discrimination leans more to that of the male species. While she may not have mentioned that the father showed any actions of abuse towards the children, that's not to say that it can't happen or develop. Besides, is subjecting your children to such an environment not enough abuse as it is?

You're more than welcome to discuss your views in your supposed "a gentleman fashion"--no one is stopping you from doing that but I won't let the way you speak dictate how I speak or choose to respond or address people.
