Career / Re: Why Do You Find Your Salary Disappointing? by iskalamong(m): 4:48pm On Jul 14, 2023
Diligent1:
I have been doing this salary work for the past 10 years now that I have graduated. The salary is not encouraging, initially I started small so that I could gain more experience.

Now, I have the experience but no capitol to establish myself. I prefer to have business of my own from the experience I have gathered so far working with one man business and registered companies.

I have lost interest in salary work, I am just doing it because I don't have a choice.
If I have up to N300,000 I will start my business immediately.

May I ask what kind of business you'll be able to start with such a small amount?

Thanks!

Talent... gifts..pays Better and I wonder why they are not seen as handworks.... you know how much Dem go give Nigerian idols winner for just doing what he knows how to do? 30million... with a car and endorsements... Pere Jason won the voice..10 million... Pray for grace my brother pray

Nice submission.

You are as correct as one can be.

Furthermore, those are jokes when compared to what the likes of C. Ronaldo, Messi and many other footballers earn.

Another example are the NBA stars.

Musicians, Actors and social media Influencers are also earning decently.

In a nutshell, it may be time for the common man to promote these earning avenues to the younger generations.

Thanks!

Family / Re: I Want To Run Away From Home by iskalamong(m): 8:56pm On Jun 12, 2023
Girlee:
I'm just not in the mood so I won't be telling much stories...

Last year, depression almost killed me if not for the saving grace of God.
I wrote jamb, scored 225. Took delta state university's post utme form and scored 68. I wasn't admitted.
As I so much didn't want to stay at home for another year, I called my dad and asked him to send me money for a change of institute, he declined.
He was like "abeg! Wait for another year, I nor get shi shi". Yeah, I know he's not a literate but I expected that he knew the value of education but he doesn't.

I cried my eyes out for months and had to take up a job as a waitress so i could afford this year's jamb reg fee.
I took jamb again and scored 212. All glory to God because I never prepared. I worked from 8am till 10pm and sometimes till 11pm. My boss then even turned me to a dish washer.
Salary was 20k. 20k that my dad can pay me monthly but he was okay with that.

Okay...
I'm broke and jobless now because I want to prepare well for my upcoming Uniben's post utme.
I asked him for just 2,500 to buy past question but this was his reply:
"2,500 for wetin? I nor get oo. E be like you go relax and try again next year or just wait make you mature then you marry".

I shouted at him until I lost my voice, I cried and I'm like God why??

So sorry for what you're going through.

This may not be of much help but kindly note that everyone living with their parents especially those of your age bracket have similar experiences.

Please endure, do not consider running from home. That would be a reckless decision.

With regards to your admission, many schools are not transparent with their admission requirements (and cut-off marks). But for a competitive course like yours, (nursing) and in a top tier Nigerian school (UNIBEN), the least you should aim for is 70% (a rough estimate) both in Jamb and Post Jamb (dont know if its still called this).

That translates into a Jamb score of 280/400 (70%) or higher. This likely explains the reason you're not gaining admission as you have scored less than this in your previous attempt(s). (If you need more clarity on this, please ask, I'll gladly explain).

Going by this, it may be necessary to change your course to one that would be easier for admission purpose or work extremely hard to attain those high scores in subsequent exams. Another alternative is to try and change your course if you fail to secure admission. To do this successfully, you have to do your best to be informed about all of the admission processes so that important information do not pass you by.

With this, I guess I have elucidated on the likely reason youre not gaining admission.

If you have more questions, please quote this response or mention me. I'll be glad to help.

Take good care of yourself.

God loves you! Your dad loves you as well.

Best regards,

Phones / Re: What Are The Pros And Cons Of Rooted Phones by iskalamong(m): 11:53am On Feb 28, 2023
PAQ:
Rooting makes you a SuperUser and removes all restrictions and the inbuilt security Android provides, its like removing all the margins and lines of an exercise book leaving you with plain white paper for you to scribble as you wish.

It comes with advantages & disadvantages but if you are not tech savvy, developer or mobile security expert its best to avoid rooting. A small mistake will render a rooted phone useless because all protections & restrictions are off cos you now have access to system files which you may not understand.

ADVANTAGES:
1. Full customisation; from boot screen to custom recovery to a custom rom and total redesign of your homescreen. If you dont understand the terminology i used then avoid rooting until well read!
2. Downgrade/upgrade Android Os or installing custom roms that add more functions and or tweaks.
3. Rooting will allow you alter or remove restrictions on some apps and also install some outdated/banned/region blocked apps.
4. It allows you to modify or instal modified/tweaked kernels and governors.
5. You can undervolt or overclock the processor of the phone. I undervolt to save battery life, then change governors. This was one of my major reasons for rooting back in the day when phones came with small batteries. To be honest most people dont need all that power in our phones that causes over heating and battery drain.
6. With rooting you can improve camera quality by installing third party cameras, google camera, or modify init.d scripts.
7. It allows for changing of imei, which is illegal and can send you to jail in some countries.

There are many other things rooting allows, although these days some of these things can be done without rooting but there is always a catch, were as rooting gives total freedom.

DISADVANTAGES
Disadvantages mostly affect noobs, people who lack the understanding of rooting cos it is highly technical.
1. It exposes you to malware and cyber intrusions because you have lifted all android restrictions and compromised the security model of Android. Rooted phones will no longer install official updates and security patches to keep your phone safe & secured.
But if you are rooted with Magisk and understand how to modify boot.img then there is a way of installing OTA.... I hope i havent lost you here?
2.You can mistakenly delete or tamper with system files thereby turning your device into a brick.
3. Banking apps abroad check for rooting and will not work on rooted phones as a security measure to protect users. Something our banking apps dont do but should. For you banking apps to work you must do some added stuff called "magisk hide" which is not a 💯 guarantee.
4. You can mistakenly wipe you system/os if you dont know what you are doing. There is also a way to reinstall.... If you know what you are doing.
5. It voids some warranties & return policies in some countries.

The 2 major disadvantages are the banking apps & exposure to security risks. The rest comes from mistakes and not enough knowledge on rooting.

Rooting and being a SuperUser is what makes Android fun, its not for everyone. If you dont want you can always unroot the phone back to stock.

Hope my explanation was easy to understand.


Please my nephew's teclast suddenly stopped booting when its switched on. Please any idea on how to go about it?

He did not root it as he is just a little boy.

Once switched on, it will just show the logo and that's all. It wont completely boot.

Career / Re: I Was Promoted Ahead Of My Superior by iskalamong(m): 8:04pm On Feb 16, 2022
Asquare84:
hi naira landers,

I worked in one of the financial institution in the country, sometimes last year I was promoted to head the department at zonal level, (good News right).
here is the problem and challenges I have been facing on the job, I have almost six superior that are above me in terms of ranks, but I was made to supervise them. this superior don't send their report to me or seek my opinion on anything.

I know they are not happy with me. my regional manager on sensing that this may be a problem recommended that I should be promoted ahead of all my superior yet our management is not saying anything about the recommendation of my regional manager.

most of this superior lobbied for this position but I was picked because of my ability's to deliver on the job.

experience peeps how do I handle a situation where I am supervising my superior yet they are not reporting to me or can I issue queries to them.

It's simple.
Make all communications in mail.
When they fail to send their reports, write them in mails, with your superiors in copy.
This will be evidence that they're not performing their responsibilities. It will also save you later when things goes sour.
This is because, you may be asked what you did when they refused to report to you, and if you have nothing tangible in your defense, it shows incompetence in your part.

Also, watch your back, be careful in words and action. Don't allow anyone manipulate you emotionally (Avoid emotional outburst).
Be careful even with so called friends (Trust no one).
Be professional at all times, avoid gossips and shady deals.

In all, you'll be fine.
This is a phase, you'll overcome it.
That's why experience is required for senior roles because more emotional tact is required compared to the technical competence required for junior roles.

I wish you the best bro.

Health / Re: What Can I Use To Clear These Spots On My Face? by iskalamong(m): 9:28am On Jan 31, 2022
Emmaesty:
I also experienced this about 3 years back and I have three options for you

1. Seba med Clear face soap. It's about 1500 naira.
It really works, you would see the difference after 2-3 weeks. It would only clear the dark spots but not the Pimples.

2. Retin A. It would clear both the Pimples and the dark spots but it's not easy to get and you might need a doctor's prescription for it cause it's quite powerful.

3. Neo Medrol. This would clear every bit of Pimples you have but would do little or nothing about the dark spots. It's the best Pimples clearing lotion out there and it costs about 2000 naira.

My opinion, combine the soap with Neo Medrol for greater results

jerobua:
Nice one, I commend your effort being your first DIY installation, You saved some cost but it will only be for a short while. As time goes on when you broaden your knowledge on Solar inverter electricity, you will be able to correct certain things..... I will highlight a little for you to research on
Firstly, your Solar inverter is mostly likely not a pure sine inverter and that's why it is cheap, it might even be a square wave form inverter which could damage your electronics in the long run.
A single Mono panel (180watts) won't be able to able to charge your GBM 180Ah battery sufficiently on a daily basis, this will affect the life of your battery
You could have waited a little while to buy a quality battery that hasn't stayed more than 6months, RITAR, GENUS, ADDO, QUANTA. but also know that battery purchase is also luck, it's 50/50 no matter the place or warranty given
For your GBM battery to last longer, you need to charge with a smart charger
Lastly, during raining season, you won't have enough sun, you still need a back up generator
I wish you all the best
For more secrets of solar system that no engineers will give you for free, you can e-mail me jerryighodalo@gmail.com.

OJaySeenson:
Okay
The first thing is usually welcome and document check after which
1. There will be a group discussion. - they will usually give you a scenario in a printed document to read analyze and come up with solutions.
Make good contributions, and just be real and professional in all. It will be timed and there will be no group leader.
Composure and your contribution is keep and how you relate to others.

Next is the lucky deep or impromptu speech as it where in front of the panel.
You will pick a paper from a bowl and speak on the topic u pick -
It gonna be a general topic
So they want to know how you can think on the spot and take action.
IT IS GOING TO BE A GENERAL TOPIC so follow current events in Nigeria and the world.
Terrorism, FIFA issue, doping etc just any topic.

You will then have a break and some nice lunch enjoy yourself ..

Next will be the main interview in front of a panel of 4-6 judges.
Be confident make contact.

Most interview usually start with TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF so please prepare well make it Professional and link it well with your academics and professional experience and the role in the long run that's my own approach.
Just prepare well for all general interview questions.
Read about NB PLC, core values etc just be aware
Your previous job and professional experience, your masters topics and project. Why do you want to work with NBPlc, why should you be employed.
LEARN TO RELAX, TAKE YOUR TIME AND SPEAK CLEARLY AND AGAIN EYE CONTACT WITH ALL THEM IS GOOD.

This role is about Logistics so please read about Logisics and transport and what the job entails You will be asked a question or 2 I believe.

Finally for the panel interview make sure you have 1 or 2 questions for them after everything - ask intelligent questions.
Future prospects of the company, how they r adjusting to the current economic challenges - just ask intelligently.

Finally after the panel Interview

another CBT English ( fill in the blank spaces and some fill in the gap with option) maybe a little Mathematics and some mechanical reasoning like logic and pattern.

Then you wait to be called successful by Gods grace

The above is from a brother that made it all the way last year. asked me to share with all that need. success to us all.



and yea, i do have a postgrad degree. i have also been sent a mail asking me to submit all credentials before coming for the assessment. have not gotten the electronic one they said though. just an email asking me to forward docs to the email address.

anopworld:
Hello peeps… Wud like to help out on info abt how d AC of Nig Brewries will look like.. AC in NB is somwot tasking and challenging but with preparations you will scale tru. First prepare to spend the whole day in deir office. You will be treated well dou as dey will give u guys break, lunch (Biscuit and tea) and stuffs. But pls eat well before you leave ur house ooo. Be physically and mentally alert.
Interviewees will be divided into groups.

Topics will be given to each group to discuss and each member of the group will have to contribute and a presentation will be made by each group by either the group leader or each member of the group.

Also, prepare to write anoda round of aptitude test (CBT) in deir office just as u wrote ur first test tru workforce in UNILAG…….. Dis time, d test comes with little difference dou still similar to wot u did during the first test just dat qstns on MECHANICAL ACCURACY ( Mech engring qstns) will be among qstns u will attempt dis time. Qstns dat has to do with mech engring diagrams and related stuffs. (forget d fact dat u studied microbiology or chemistry………… dat u did not studied engineering related courses)

After d test, here comes one-on –one interview with a panel of 3-4 interviewers. Pls here, dose for brewing sud be ready to answer qstns on brewing process as dey will ask u qstns in that area. I believe dis will be applicable to dose for packaging too. I think dats all.

Remember, not everyone at dis stage will be employed. Dey will only choose d best among you guys. So be at ur best and perform at ur peak ability. But I pray more people to be choosen dis year dan last year coz dose dat were employed for last yr programme were not up to 20 applicants. ( dey are currently in NB training academy in IBADAN for deir one-year training)

Pls I want you all to know dat I am not in dis race coz I am not a science or engring graduate but d info above is a first-hand info based on the experience of my uncle with dem last yr during dis same NB graduate trainee 2014. Infact, he had the best 9th overall score at d first test with workforce. (The rest is history). … I want you guys to take dis with all seriousness coz working in NB is like working in shell or Total in terms of pay package and other fringe benefits.

NOTE—I am not saying dis is wot will play out in the forth-coming AC. There mght have been changes but it wil not be far-fetched from wot played-out last yr. But if you prepare along or even beyond wot I stated above, I believe you are safe. All the best to you all.

Dear OP, please exercise patience with them. You don't initiate Transactions without verification of beneficiary before inputting your PIN. If by Tuesday, no show from them, visit your bank and complain of erroneous transfer.
Please be careful next time, you're lucky it's someone you know. If it weren't, it may have been difficult as recall of funds no dey easy.
If I were in the shoes of your babe, I'll try to raise the money and save them the shame. Why is she putting it on them?
It happened I agree but in their situation, they need the money. I'll look for ways to raise and repay you. It's her fault so she should take responsibility.
You are also indulging her. I pray that she doesn't give you the account number of a stranger next time.
What if the dad was deceased and the account has a deceased freeze on it, would you be disappointed in the family?
This should even let you know the kind of woman you have and the extent she'll take responsibility for her acts than leave you to go haywire blaming the wrong people and having issues in the future.
Another angle.
I love the way you introduced a new perspective into the narrative.
Nice logical reasoning from you!

Antoeni:
WHEN THE CHURCH BECOMES A BUSINESS

1) Pastors function like CEOs
2) Members are turned into customers
3) Other churches are seen as competitions
4) Evangelism is reduced to marketing
5) Church planting looks more like franchising.

6) Numbers are primary measure of success
7) Prayer and Word study are replaced by formulas
cool Revival is reduced to a few days fund-raising
program
9) Preaching sounds more like motivational speech. All the people do is shout "I receive, Amen," throughout the concert. I mean the "service".

10) Praise and Worship is turned into a
performance. The best actors are made the worship and praise leaders.
11) The Spirit of God is reduced to "emotionalism". No real power of God other than hypnosis and sensationalism.

12) The saints are entertained instead of equipped
13) Disciples of Christ have become papa's sons, daughters and fans.
14) The Church, a living Body has now become a lifeless body
15) A leader's empire is built instead of the
Kingdom of God advanced
16) The pastor becomes the super man and Jesus Christ reduced to just another religious figure.
Unfortunately, this is what many modern churches are becoming.
It is well.

Politics / Re: Atiku Supports Proposed Privatisation Of Refineries, Assets by iskalamong(m): 4:12pm On Feb 21, 2021
He expressed delight that the privatisation of public assets which he once championed and was scorned for by the All Progressives Congress-led administration is now being embraced by the same administration.
Lol. Talk about hypocrisy in governance and politics.
The candidates tell the people what they (the people) want to hear. If they are elected, they (the elected government) do what they want even if it's different from their campaign promises. Sadly, that's how things work in this part of the world.

On a flip side, Atiku's intention/reason for the privatisation cannot be fully ascertained as one cannot rule out selfishness/ greed being his reason knowing the calibres of politicians we have in the country.

He said: “For decades, I have championed the privatisation of our economy and full deregulation of our oil and gas sector, amongst other sectors, for greater service delivery and efficiency.
Yes, privatisation is a step in the right direction if done properly. This is because the average civil servant sees civil service as a less stressful job and access to the national cake which leads to less poor work ethics, mismanagement e.t.c reducing productivity and innovation.
Privatisation, if rightly done, will help correct these excesses. The major benefits being employment of competent staffs, increased productivity and proper management.

Despite these pros, I have doubts which are as follows:
1. Will they be sold at the right price (value)?
2. Will they be sold to the right person/firm?
3. Will it result in the optimal management of the corporations?
4. Productivity may remain the same thanks to the incompetent, corrupt and selfish set of leaders we have in this country.

In all, I hope the privatisation works out well. This country is falling apart (especially our economy), we need all the miracles we can get.

MrColdsweat:


Martinez39s what is this?

If these words are the words of females or simps, does that mean these claims should never be verified?

Despite all the patterns all redpillers observed on a daily basis, and are still observing (the red pill proves itself daily), that made them embrace the red pill and the confirmation from others who also observed these patterns, you expect these questions to deter anyone from the red pill?

Because they get the same observations, does that make the claim true?
Do you not know that beliefs shared by many, often becomes their reality but their beliefs could still be false?
Are you not sounding like the babalawo worshippers who claim their gods exists because of their personal experiences?

Your personal belief claims due to experiences has graduated to knowledge, but is it true? That is what you should be finding out.

You're a mathematician like me who engages in the verification of the truth value of statements, Why are you behaving like the others? If others behave like they do, should you do same? Since you have been trained to find truth, Shouldn't you be most interested in the truth values of the acclaimed truths of the redpill doctrine?


You are one of the pillars of this movement on nairaland. You should be armed with facts and statistics to shut arguers up.
You should be giving me facts so that I can back out of this thread.

Why resort to petty fallacies?

If you are asked to give a proof that certain abstract spaces, sets or structures possess certain qualities when endowed with certain restrictions or properties, do you ask for the intent of the person who gave you the proof? Do you not just give or construct the demanded proof?

Is there any inferential link between my intent and the truth? If I'm here for good, does it change the truth?

I expected better.
Please, ignore the arguments!
Contribute your quota, lets learn from one another.
This argument is stale, boring and now becoming unproductive.

BLOODYSPERM:
I'm about to sleep now , before I forget it, a very powerful message for redpillers especially Tradcons,christian conservatives and aspiring Patriach,on the issue of marriage

Old women and used Harlotts have developed social conventions to shame men into marrying them

1) They demonize young fertile women who have strong sexual market value as promiscuous , immature and wayward
2) After Hoeing about in their youths they will claim that they are matured and experienced enough for marriage which is logically invalid and unsound because it's until you enter marriage before you can make such judgements
3) They shame men that they are unprepared, insecure, don't want to be responsible,tag you as a kid(boy) who lacks the understanding of what marriage entails
4) They claim that you have inferiority complex , fragile ego and low self-esteem to increase their depreciated SMV value and reduce yours


Note:
Any redpiller especially patriachs who succumb to these bullshit social convention deserves to be castrated and burnt alive, an ignorant SIMP is far better than you, How can you wife a HOE after redpill awareness? Are you cursed?

Special note:
I'm sorry for the display of histrionics and emotional extremes in my original note, I'm just trying to convey a very important message

Romance / Re: Reality Every Guy Need To Know ( STRICTLY REDPILL) ... by iskalamong(m): 2:49pm On Feb 19, 2021
MrColdsweat:

The emphasis on women has turned some men to misogynists.

All supposed red-pilled truths and perspectives about women are distorted and subjective. "Women are whores, women are this, women are that...". These claims will always be in contention.

True! I believe the reason for this is to make men take those words seriously and relate with women with those assumptions in mind. In a scientific context, that would be referred to as a fundamental assumption e.g Schrodinger's equation.

But there is an objective truth. Women are humans like you, man. Same flesh and blood. God gave man and woman the same freewill and instinct for self-preservation. why are men mad that women are exercising them?
True! The truth is this, you're being emotional, though this argument is true. The truth is this, the sexes are protecting themselves. Women naturally have theirs as instinct while many men are using the red pill philosophy for theirs.
For example:
A woman will support you on this because it supports women. However, she'll see you as soft and will prefer you both being friends (friendzone). This means that despite agreeing with you, she doesn't see you in a romantic way. So, if you want to date her, it will most likely not work initially unless "she has no other option". She will however admire (in a romantic way) the guys that have the redpill philosophy.
The reason is simple: culturally and traditionally, men are tough (stoic/masculine) while women are supposed to be soft (tender/feminine).
Hence, a man who has same qualities as you, but with more traditional masculine aura will get ladies than you.
So the message is this: agreeing with a lady, doing your all to please her, e.t.c. doesn't neccessarily increase your likelyhood of getting or keeping a lady/girl/ woman.

This hypergamy we talk about, What exactly is wrong if a woman wants and picks a high-class male for a partner? Is it not an expression of freewill and self-interest we're all naturally endowned with?

If you, as a man, get several job offers, won't you likely take the job with the best pay and best working conditions? Won't you likely dump your present job for a new job with a better pay?

What exactly are women doing wrong that men are not involved in?

We're all guilty of everything thing we accuse women of. We're often accomplices.

Take a good look at the thread. Is this level of misogyny healthy?

If you are a fulfilled, happy man with achievements, what would you gain by insisting on having women under you?

Some of us on this thread are thread are Christians, is this what Christ taught? Some patriarchs wanted to stone a woman for whoring, did Christ not stop them? How then can Christians even think of writing these disgusting things about women when Christ asked us to love unconditionally?


No forget say Some of us for this thread go finally born daughters and another mummyfuccker fit come dey oppress am because of red-pill wey him swallow.

The oga-shepard of this thread once claimed that women are psychologically violent. And his sheeps applauded him, saying nonsense about women. Is the acclaimed psychological violence, hypergamy, awalt and other red-pill tags of women as deadly as the physical violence perpetrated by men?

Do you know that if you are killed today, it is very likely that it will be done by a man?

Men are responsible for at least 70% of violence and rape in society. Should that not worry you guys? Is this not a reasonable topic for discussion?


I first came to nairaland 10years ago and I know the level of maturity and the respect we accorded each other in this section.

I'm tired of the misogyny.

Anybody waiting for me to leave this thread is wasting his time
About the hypergamy, many men do not acknowledge it as they should (Though they usually know it). The redpill brings it to a man's consciousness. Hence, one of the reasons for the extremism in language use e.g All women are like that (AWALT). I believe this will make a man consciously realise the hypergamy and acknowledge it.

Hypergamy isn't bad. A true redpiller does not need to hate it or hate women. He should acknowledge it and realise that a woman (girlfriend or wife) could leave him for a better man.
The impact this should have on a man include:
1. A man should work to build himself more as it would deepen her attraction for him. In a worse case, if she leaves, it makes him attractive for other women.
2. He shouldn't sacrifice heavily for her (Never give what you can't afford) since she can leave him for another guy (that is, it doesn't guarantee her stay).
3. It prevents the tendency of heartbreak for a man when a lady leaves him. E.t.c.


I hope these argument(s) are clear now?

Weak men hate it when women ignore them in favor of stronger men.There's nothing wrong with women preferring strong men.In fact, women must not be shamed but encouraged to prefer strong men for the sake of posterity since weak fathers invariably raise weak kids.

Man's unending mission is to pursue new heights, replacing weakness with strength, stupidity with intelligence, & insecurity with confidence
True.
This should be done in all areas of his life. Some of these areas include (in no particular order):

1. Physical (Appearance)
2. Social (Solid interaction skill! High social status!)
3. Financial (Money! Assets! Wealth!)
4. Intellects (Intelligence! problem solving! Leadership!)
5. Sexual/ romance (Flirting! Cuddling! Fu<king!)
6. Abilities (singing, playing instruments, Dancing, comedy e.t.c)

This will make you a true alpha and irresistible to both men and women, young and old, acquaintance and strangers e.t.c.
You will be super attractive, almost irreplaceable, highly valued, needed and respected by these people.

MrColdsweat:


My posts are not majorly about women. I don't know why most men here cannot talk without involving women even when I stated the need to take our eyes off them for a while and fix it on ourselves.


What you should be doing is to go through my posts and tell me if I'm wrong about the need need to drop some components of masculinity and why we shouldn't drop them.
You need to understand that without women in the picture, there won't be redpill. Hence, redpill and women in general cannot be separated. Also, many people study the redpill for numerous purposes such as patriarchal reasons, better relations with females, Pick up artistry (PUA) e.t.c. These reasons are inter-twinned with women. Even men going their own way (MGTOW) will not be in existence without women in the picture.

So you see why women will very likely be mentioned on a redpill thread?

I want all those who came to this thread for the red pill to realise that we are currently under attack. They should try and ignore all post by mrcoldsweat. The thing I do anytime I see his post, I quickly scroll pass it. I sometimes read Mr QuadrilAyinde post but if I see that what he is saying is not following the red pill teachings that I am been exposed to, I quickly scroll pass it. I am only 19 years old, I am very inexperienced and my world view is very limited while mrcoldsweat has been in relationships for over 10 years. What I want you all to realise here us that there is something called TEMPTATION. We call easily be tempted by someone that knows or we feel knows better than us. We should stick to the red pill and after we have successfully gone through the five stages of read pill, we can expand our knowledge bank and go and check out other tenets, dogmas, philosophy. Thank you
True.
The tread is being derailed.
However, the cause remains the fact that many stakeholders were too conservative with their ideology(ies) and a little agressive to other ideas/ opinions.

Constructive criticism is the way forward.. For example, if you notice a flaw in a person's argument, instead of attacking the whole post or the author, kindly point out the flaw(s) and back up your argument with your opinions and/or facts. Correct arguments in such write-ups should also be recognised and applauded. Note: All these should be done politely.
I salute all the bosses in the thread!
I see the thread bouncing back.

Not for me! You called yourself a REDPILLER and you can't even dare to date such ladies? grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

You rather go for a more financially weaker lady than you? If you're a degree holder, I guess you can't date an Msc. holder. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

I agree with all that you said. Bye. grin tongue

There is truth in what he said.
He has been quite violent/ aggressive in his arguments lately but he is spot on on that.

A Bachelor degree holder could date a masters degree holder but it's recommended he surpasses her in other areas. For example he could have a better job, make more money et. Cetera.

Dating strong independent ladies as a weak financial struggling man is a recipe for disaster, you will be dealt with by her natural hypergamy even if you genuinely love her and have no insecurities at all
Very true!

Bad Guy! Bad Guy! Bad Guy!

Good Guy! Good Guy! Good Guy!

" I want to be a Bad Guy"

"I don't want to play the Good Guy to people"

What is" Good"?

What is"Bad"?

In the Old days It was good to Keep Slaves.

What has Changed Now?

Our Beliefs Changed.

So Good or Bad are subjective to how Man wants it.

Don't think you should act as a "Bad Guy", that's You Guilt-tripping yourself over nothing.

Don't let others decide for You what is Good or Bad.

Don't Believe in Labels.

Be a Good Guy.

A Good Guy that believes in his own self interests.

Discard that "Bad" label .

Thanks for the complement!
Romance / Re: Dear Guys, Can You Marry A Single Mom? by iskalamong(m): 2:32pm On Feb 07, 2021
I can't.
Some of my reasons include (randomly ordered):
1. Bonding (pair-bonding) may be difficult.
2. Most guys won't settle for a single mother and she knows this. Hence, it's likely her attitude is pretentious to trick me into marrying her.
3. Her baby daddy can come into our lifes as he wills due to his child(ren). He is part of our lives whether we like it or not. So the earlier we accept that, the better!
4. Additional expenses/effort training another man's child(ren).
5. The marriage won't be fresh as it should since we'll be starting the marriage with her child(ren) (less honeymoon excitement). I can't ask her to abandon her child(ren), that would be unfair/evil.
6. You may doubt this but, she most likely won't respect me as she should. You know why?
Because she'll feel I settled for less (marrying a single mum). Making her think I'm a low value man and/or a man that can't get high quality maidens. Sorry, it's just the way most ladies and women are wired.
7. High tendency to cheat. This may be due to reason 6 above. She may cheat on me with guys who used her and dumped her. She may perceive them to be real men (alpha males). It could also be due to a likely promiscuous behaviour which may be the reason she's a single mum.
8. Sexual reasons. Child birth has effect on firmness of a woman's-breasts and the tightness of her vaginal-walls. Although, one could argue that this may be unavoidable with aging/time, I'll at least prefer to enjoy them fresh (both the upper and lower front feminity) even if for a short time period. Physical/sexual attraction is necessary especially for new young couples in my opinion.
The list goes on and on.

Conclusion:
Everyone is different and so are our priorities and preferences. You may see these reasons as shallow or flimsy excuses, but it is better to know yourself, your strengths, weaknesses, preferences, priorities and deal-breakers. This way, you'll make better decisions and prevent mistakes and regrets. Afterall, it's better not to marry a single mum than to marry her and make her life miserable, or worse divorce her with more children than she had when you married her leaving her damaged (if she already isn't).

Disclaimer
It should be noted that I have nothing against single mums and this post shouldn't be taken as a bias, prejudice or discrimination against single mums.
Many single mums are wonderful. Some are single mums by forces beyond their control and several other unfortunate circumstances.
This post is simply my opinion and should be regarded as such.
Thanks!
