justwise: Watching that clip i was thinking. .hey!. . .it could be your attitude towards women is the prob here, yes there are women who may not take compliments from random men especially in a particular area of the city. . sometimes returning or accepting the compliment may send a wrong message to the guy. .thinking. .yea she is up for it Yupp, co-sign 
justwise: Inked_Nerd i have to agree with u here. .sometimes. .some of us blackmen get the wrong end of the stick when sisters trying to 'associate' with us politely, i don't know if its a cultura thing that gave some pple the impression that women are programmed to say yes to every dog that barks, A child who grew up from a violent family. .see ddady hit mum and disrespect her may grow up with little or no respect for women, i don't agree with the guy when he said that 99% of men thinks women are bla bla when they saw a well dressed sister, its his opinion and i respect that. Personally for me, I like to make the effort to talk to someone if the person interests me or isn't coming across as a skeezo. I'm not gonna lie though some ladies to walk around like their doing you a favor by letting you even look at them. Its a weird and twist cycle of "abuse" within the black community I suppose. The men given attitude and the women dish it back in return. |

I do recall knowing polygamy is accepted in some African countries and polygamy is just as perverted as open relationships.
We have a winner. Ladies and gentlemen. Time to crown another unfortunate.[/quote]Although what he said sounds contradictory, polygamy and an open relationship aren't the same thing.
IZUKWU: An open relationship is a relationship in which infidelity is encouraged or do i say not frowned upon. It's not actually infidelity if your partner is aware and the two have set limits and terms to the relationship. |

bayosgirl: I was born and raised in the U.S. but my dad is originally from Italy (mom is American.) Funny they should be wary of Ajibayo because he's an immigrant, seems kind of hypocritical, don't you think? Racism seems to be rampant among old-school Italians but my dad actually surprised me in that he was upset when his sister, my aunt, made an offensive comment. I do think he has a lot of respect for Ajibayo but perhaps is paranoid that he could be taking advantage of me for citizenship purposes (I know this in my heart to be completely untrue.) We actually met when he used to work in my parents' restaurant, and for awhile my dad was driving 20 miles round-trip to pick Bayo up from his first job, and then another 10 miles to take him home at night when he didn't have a car. And he was the only employee who was invited to Thanksgiving dinner at my parents' house. I know that in time they'll come around and hopefully we'll be one big happy, diverse family.  bayosgirl: Feel free to PM me if you would like to talk more, Inked_Nerd.  lol interesting. Their just being parents so try not to be too mad at them. How would I be able to PM you?  |

Real talk, some dudes approach girls and when you don't talk to them, all hell breaks loose--especially in the summer time. I don't care if its an African guy, Caribbean, etc. No offense to my brothas but some of them take it a step further when you reply when they say hello. If you say hello just to be polite then they wanna keep following you even when you have mad it clear that you're not interests. If you ignore them, then they pelt you with insults. And like I said, no offense but I have yet to encounter such behavior from men who aren't of color. Man, the dude needs to just shut his mouth. Like Mrs. Chima said, he's probably been rejected.
By the way, was I the only person that heard the trains in the background noise?  |

bayosgirl: No worries, I love talking about our relationship. :-) Especially since I'm so used to people acting all weird when I mention he's Nigerian like it's a bad thing. To me, he and his culture are beautiful and I'm PROUD to be his wife. Anyway, yes, he has had me change some things that were detriments to me, bad habits and such. He never picks on things out of selfishness, but only to help me because he loves me so much and wants me to be happy and successful. At first I was very stuck in my ways and I couldn't even see that his wanting me to change was an expression of his love for me, but gradually I began to understand. He is persistent, I give him that. I'm so very grateful that I finally have a man who is as strong as me and isn't afraid to "confront" me when he needs to, yet still gives me the freedom I need. That's beautiful. Sounds like you guys really love each other. Ya see, this is the type of positive relationships I like to see. Its like you two compliment each other. Are you European? |

Nekai: I think it is ironic that the boy, who will become the head of a household someday, is sometimes allowed to be more irresponsible. Smh 
Hotie Tima: miss nerd u think we go and want to talk to our parents about somethings, uuumm we don't but they just like talking no joke, they are trying to put us on the right path, of no sex before marriage, so sleeping around with boy's, they think they are doing the right thing but if u look in mamy families and culture this acceptation is only accepted from us the females.
and then once u commit a mistake is un endless lecture of things u don't even want to hear I wasn't trying to say that you or any other wants that conversation between them and their parents. I was just talking about my on experience with my own family. Even my sister, they've NEVER had the "sex/you better not misbehave" talk with her and she's on the right path. The thought of even having sex with a guy at her age is kind of a turn off to her. My parents have never had any sort of talk but we all know both male and female how to conduct ourselves. |

bayosgirl: Well, he went into the relationship knowing how strong willed I am. My mother even told him "when she wants something, she doesn't stop till she gets it" - in that case she was referring to how my parents were trying to discourage me from the relationship but I wouldn't listen to them. If I were easily controlled, we wouldn't be together today. But I met someone I admired and grew to love, and this is the result. I wasn't afraid to tell him he was eating crap, and since he's changed his diet he now thanks me every day that he feels better and looks even younger and healthier than before. Anything I'm not happy about, I tell him and most of the time he changes it. He used to be very loud, and I told him I don't like being yelled at and he's cut it down a LOT. Likewise he can tell me something and I will talk it over with him and change it if need be - I don't mean to imply I'm so bullheaded I don't listen. Just that there are some things I won't compromise on and he understands and respects that. Oh my!! 
Seems like you two have a lovely relationship. Do you make changes for him as well? If I'm asking too many questions, please let me know--I was just curious because I know that some Nigerian men can be set in their way at times. |

@OP: The Nairalander I would consider marrying doesn't really come on Nairaland anymore. I can't even remember his username. The few moments we spent talking outside of Nairaland were wonderful. He was a good listener, never judged me, and was always open to new ideas despite the fact that we shared different religious and cultures beliefs. Even with those differences, we still enjoyed each others company. I guess that's what brought us closer--being so different gave us the urge to want to know each other even more  |

bayosgirl: ^ I didn't "discuss" anything with my husband-I just laid it all out. "If you want to borrow my womb, this is how it is." LOL. He's cool with me taking charge as long as I keep putting hot meals on the table. 
As for ear piercings, it was done to all my female cousins when they were babies. For some reason, my parents chose not to pierce my ears. I was about 14 when I finally worked up the courage and all my friends already had theirs pierced. Of course it wasn't so bad when I finally had it done, but the anxiety leading up to it was horrible. So I don't know what's worse-getting it out of the way when she's too young to stress about it, or modifying her body without her consent. Is ear piercing at infancy common in Nigeria? I always thought it was a European/Italian thing (dad's family is Italian.) I guess it's common in Nigeria. The Nigerian families I know here in the US tend to pierce their daughter(s) ears when they're still infants. Just curious, but is your husband Nigerian? |

@OP: I'll tell you why. . . It's because parents still think they're still in ancient Nigeria.
iice: [color=#9900ff]One of the reasons i never liked being a female. I get hours of lectures on fraternizing with males, dangers of what what. . .blah blah. . .like gimme a break. My brothers get the 'if you make her pregnant, you're on your own' and tori don finish. Couldn't they just say that one line to me and save me hours of talks i usually just daze out to [/color] I don't think you should ever say that you don't like being female. If you allow other people's action and feeling to dictate your outlook on your overall being, where will that get you? I know life can be hard on women but it's what you make of it that determines the life you live. No matter how anyone feels or treats me, I will never allow that to make me feel like less that who I am. By the way, I've never had one of those talks with my parents. They know better  |

It was a battle with my husband because he thought it was "the right thing to do" to circumcise if we have a son, but I told him in no uncertain terms that will not be happening. I don't believe in most forms of body modification for infants and children. Now ear piercings on girls, I'm still on the fence about. I know what you mean about the earrings issue. I like the fact that my ears were pierced at a young age but I don't t I wanna do it if I have a daughter. There are so many things I'd need to lay out on the table and discuss with my partner  |

@OP: An open relationship is a relationship in which both individuals are free to have physical and or emotional relationships with other partners. Usually both participating parties agree to some sort of terms or agreements when doing so.
jas man: A pervated type of relationship at most. Open to keep boyfriends/girlfriends as back ups. Its UNAFRICAN, don't do it Perverted yet its ok for a man to have more than one wife? Hypocrisy much!! |
