Duru9:I'd feel embarrassed for them if I had watched that video. Anyways, truly, this thread should be very belittling for every hard-working and dignified woman out there. Nobody will give you anymore credit than you give yourself. |
bigcil2:Okay... When is the deadline for this? Lemme see if I can sling it. |
Can't do this. I'd feel just as embarrassed sitting alone eating. |
Olive25:Loyal and patient? Errh Hard to agree there. But I'll agree women do endure shiit they can't change. |
asdfjklhaha:He doesn't like... That reason alone I find laughable. You see, it's difficult for somebody to readily accept a random guy can be generous that much to part with thousands of Naira just because 'he doesn't like...'. Next, he may not like your cloths or your shoes or your apartment. I should expect this very guy has charities because I don't expect he likes seeing hunger around him? This is not a criticism but that reason may suggests men, or humans are much more generous than they actually are. |
Hotbutt:What the irony. Even you say you are 'hotbutt' and not hotbrain. A bit rich don't you say? |
The west and Wokeness! Does she need this to promote her songs? I don't think so. Her first album was very critically acclaimed. I personally loved it and it was one of my favourite albums I'd listen, even till now. She never needed to show ass or dance naked to sell her songs. Her talent was enough and still is enough to do that for her. |
bizme:I agree with you on the bolded and the majority of your submission. But not the morality bit. I once lived in close quarters with two sisters who had a little girl (family member) living with them. Their discipline mechanism for this girl was unbelievable. I woke up 2am to the sound of caning even as far as my own room. I don't sleep early so I noticed this happens quite often. One night, I counted 30-40 strokes of whip. I was greatly disturbed after that night. I would wonder what warrants a beating in such odd hours. Unfortunately, I only kept a largely professional relationship with both girls so I couldn't find a way to talk about it with them. In fairness, I don't think they do it maliciously as they are quite reasonable and generally kind to the little girl. It's just their idea of discipline I guess. |
I think it's perfectly understandable and natural for a woman to feel upset and mistrusted if a man requests or is secretly planning for paternity test for their child. Guys expecting women to feel chilled or understanding about it are not being emotionally intelligent. I'm capable of conducting DNA secretly but won't or can't ask a wife openly. I can't begin to imagine how I'd feel if the result is positive and she got to find out I mistrusted her. It's a big L and you lose face. The least you should expect is her to bitch about it for ever - Your marriage can be open season from there on. Trust is a two way street. We don't trust who don't trust us. |
People who use only tissue, shiit no dey dry for una yanssh. That feeling is not funny and very uncomfortable. . Not even talking about the smell now... |
bigcil2:I'll send my résumé shortly... |
Stephansmily:Obviously, your experience is peculiar and valid. But family is really what some of us have "got". Hopefully, even if the family you came from didn't check the boxes, you'll strive to make sure that the family you produce fare better. I'm sure you'll want better for your kids. Let the 'truth' you lived be the 'lie' they never live. |
mjconcept:America announced its military advancement to the world when they dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Until then, nobody knew such a weapon was in existence. That show of force was what stopped the war. Did they also stole the technology to make such a weapon from the Nazis? Give the people their dues, please. |
aribisala0:If you say there's nothing special about the west, then no where else is special. You say America achieved its status because of its military power. Then, in the very next line, you accuse her of lacking innovativeness. Really? Are you just dishing terms without any thoughts as to how it fits your overall message? You can accuse the USA of anything but not innovation. If you say the military is the key reason for their dominance then tell us who (country) sold them the military might. And you don't think they are innovative to get to where they are military and otherwise? Look at the coronavirus vaccine springing up, the Pfizer/BioTECH and the Moderna are both partnerships with major USA pharmaceutical giants. In my opinion, the internet is one of the greatest invention. Guess what? It's a US invention. What about Aeroplanes? USA. In fact, according to Britannica, the US is the birthplace of almost half of the world's greatest inventions. China and the rest of the world share the remaining half. Accuse the USA of lacking innovatiness is rather weak and lazy. When I saw that I couldn't continue with the rest of your submission because it's going to be lacking objectiveness. |
Ogbotobo77:Yeah. It was nominated last year but lost to Billie Eilish. It was her Best Album to date surely. L |
Don jazzy I feel your pain. I too find Rihanna exceedingly attractive. Even my female cousin once said she'll allow Rihanna kiss her ![]() |
Since both of you have been very forthright with your plans in the next 5 years so soon, I don't see the source of your confusion. If you stick with your initial plans, he won't be ready for two years still. Don't date him now if you're not okay with the possibility he won't marry you until the 5 years he intended from now. If you're dead serious about marrying in 5 years time, the pragmatic approach is to forget this guy since he said he's not ready before 5 years. You'll only succeed in tying yourself down dating that long. So, wait everyday for someone who's ready for marriage instead of dating Mr. and stop searching for the next 5 years. B Besides, I find it amusing he's saying he loves you so soon . Babes, na guys format be dat or love happens that quickly ? |
Best song: Lana del Rey - Norman Bleep**ing Rockwell The opening piano cum guitar sequence of that song just before she starts singing is heavenly for me. Like heroin to my ears. Best Album: Taylor Swift - Folklore Best Artist: Taylor Swift Honestly, Taylor Swift is an irresistible and unbelievably talented artist. Her Evermore and Folklore albums cemented her position as the undisputable QUEEN OF POP MUSIC |
Anoymus:Reading your opening piece, I think the way you presented your perspective may be the problem for her. You come across as someone who's well to do and as a result, she thinks you should be responsible financially every step of the home front cause it's easy for you. You said you asked her what her responsibilities would be, not where or how she can help. Responsibility means duty in this scenario for her and not filling-in when there's a need Hence, she's highly unlikely to contribute to major recurring expenses like rent, school fees, feeding, cable, water, electricity, and medical procedures. As a man, I personally would like to be able to handle all that myself no matter what. (circumstances permitting). I'm sure you intend to yourself. I'll tell you an open secret, your mom, her mom, my own mom, and the majority of the women out there purchase almost everything needed to run the kitchen themselves. Except the budget for food, the women who earn something would contribute most of the things that prepares a meal. Maybe not at the very beginning of the marriage, but with time they'll shoulder the majority because everybody wants to be responsible for something. And they'll buy all the little things that the kids need without the husband knowing. If you sense she won't do any of the above then I'm afraid she's immature about what constitutes marriage. Like the one that'll ask you to buy toothpaste and body cream for the family while she earns. Because I don't expect that you'll spill water on the floor and wait for her to come home before it'd be taken care of. Modified: just to emphasize, you don't have to invest in her business before you can expect her to help any way she can financially. That's why common SENSE is the most important thing to look for in any human being. People who are too set in their ways and beliefs don't see the bigger picture. |
Danhoys:I think you've received many helpful advice already and that's enough to work with. A lot of people have discussed subjects like sex education already, you can have those discussions with your boy I've read the majority of your replies to commenters and I think you're a bit liberal in your approach to life in this 21st century. But I wonder, what happens when he's 18? Would you stop having such discussions with him since they say 18 is adulthood and adulthood is 18? I don't mean any of that as a criticism. On that note, I really think now is the time for you to introduce and remind your son about the concept of RESPONSIBILITY. Such discussions transcend age and time. You can always discuss such with anyone who's capable of distinguishing right from wrong. I'm sure he's a smart and ambitious boy. So, he has dreams and aspirations. Give him a clean piece of paper and tell him to write 5-10 major things he wants to achieve in the years few years. Tell he to think deeply about what he's going to put down and ensure he takes enough time on it. Don't accept it until after a couple of days later. The drama of the exercise alone will make him remember any discussions thereafter as important and serious. I'd suggest you do something like this before talking about the pornography issue itself. Connect how the vices and undesirable side effects of porn addiction - including unwanted pregnancy and premature fatherhood - could negatively affects his plan for the future. Educate him enough to be able to connect and dots himself. Start the sentences but allow him finish them (and reach the same conclusions as you would). To achieve his goals, teach him why he needs to be responsible. Don't tell him. Show him. Whatever you decide, the manner of your approach is paramount. If you handle it well enough, he'll even trust and draw closer to you more than before. Finally, I would prefer my wife tells me something like this if she discovers it about our son. But I think you have the right relationship with the boy to handle everything well. You're best placed to do it regardless of who's wife or husband here. |
OP: I won't advice any woman to marry someone who's not financially ready for marriage. Raising kids is particularly expensive. But as a guy, I definitely won't encourage a woman to marry for the simple reason that the man is financial ready and suitable. I won't want that for me and that's selfish in my opinion. If a man is not right for you because of his finance, you're not right for a man if you don't love him. |
Jodha:Are these like a signature for you, Jodha? |
Don't have any friends who would request such a favour from me. And I would never allow it at my place. Sex smells and I hate that shiit. |
XXXXTENTACION:That's the problem about reputation. It precedes us |
XXXXTENTACION:I know that. And I never associated that negatively on her person. Rape was a crime against her and not a choice she made. The other choices she made which I specifically questioned is clear from my initial response. |
XXXXTENTACION:And what defines who someone is? Our decisions and choices defines who we are. Nobody is a saint shouldn't absorb people from the responsibility of the choices they make. 35 body counts suggests someone with lack of emotional attachment to sex, someone more likely to entertain inappropriate relationships because of minimal to no boundary to entry. she probably has more Bleep.mates than friends. That's even if she has any unfuck.ed friends left. Heck, some pornstars are yet to bang 35 new Dicksons. No woman is perfect, I agree. But the irony is only a perfect man with no filters would readily accept women with such an imperfection. Op: Maybe, just maybe, number 36 would happen to be the last episode in her series. Unless she decides to reboot the show in future. |
Magnoliaa:These are quite thoughtful questions and I'll try to answer them from my personal convictions. I think I'm generally a honest person and like most honest people, I tend to give other people benefit of doubt in all our dealings. So basically, a girlfriend (and then wife) has about 90% trust level from day one. Whether that level of trust is maintained would depend on their actions and inactions henceforth. I know I'll be emotionally, socially, psychologically, morally, legally, and even religiously invested in any child a woman says I'm the father, talkless of my wife. While biology/genes may be the only Identifiable initial connection with the unborn baby, all the aforementioned feelings that makes up what fatherhood is really about develops progressively from the day the child is born. From that mindset, I would hate to be in a position where I believe DNA testing is required to establish facts and cure my curiosity. Having those thoughts alone would be devastating, more so because of the reality of not being the biological father and being lied to for years. So the question: If I'm boxed in such position, would I still want to confirm what biology says of my fatherhood? Yes, absolutely. And the logical reasoning behind that would be it's too great a crime, fraud, lie, betrayal, and wickedness to build a family, love, and life upon, despite the unfathomable pain it would cause everyone concern Would I loose everything if it turns out I'm not the biological father? I don't think so. If my attempt at fatherhood is anything like I've painted above and like you also suggested, then I CAN'T SIMPLY TURN OFF MY EMOTIONS and FATHER STATUS TOWARDS THE CHILD OR CHILDREN. And similarly, The children won't simply turn off their sentiments towards THEIR SUPPOSE FATHER. SO, presuming I take the revelation as best as I can, when the dust settles, I'll call them my sons and daughters and they'll call me father. Logically, if the children in question are grown ups just like the case in point, it'd much easier for me and the children to move on together as the same family, I think. (Since I'm not a father yet, I can only talk realistically from the perspective of a hypothetical Son in similar situation: I don't and won't give too flying fuccks who biology says is my father.) |
Usorohtheman:Anyone will do. Some police men or station are even as strict as Army. As long as your neighbor is settled in the area and her cousin is known too. They won't try anything stupid and it will be the last you'll ever hear of it. Report to the police before you go back home. Imagine the boy came with the gang initially and they beat you bloody, I'm sure you would have gone to the police station. Report to the police and listen to what they'll advice or their reaction. If money will ginger them, drop money. The police would collect more for bailing that lady and her cousin. Do that and see her mellow forever. |
Usorohtheman:Listen, you can be afraid but don't be intimidated. Since the lady in question is in your compound and your neighbor, it's very easy to navigate. Narrate the issue to some close family members and then go and report the matter to the police station including the part she invited her cousin who you suspected to be a cultist and his gang. The lady is a coward and stupid that's why she called her relative to escalate the issue. The cousin is a coward that's why he called his cultist gang. You, be a coward now by involving the police. Convince your dad you want to report in the station. Dance to the police tune but make sure they arrest the lady and her cousin. Explain your fears to the police and they'll have them sign an undertaking that no harm should come to you. They'll be NUMBER ONE suspect if anything as simple as a slap lands on your face henceforth. You can keep running if you're a coward and stupid though... |
I really find the response intriguing, especially for those who think marriage is an achievement or accomplishment. I don't think most of them really meant or understand what that entails. |
I'm not married yet but this is what I think: Marriage, a good wife, and children will be a Blessing to me. Individually, each is a blessing in their own right and if you desire children like me, children ensures marriage completeness. |
nwaezeemmanuel:As a collective, MAN is dangerous. But don't take it personally because I'm not talking about you, me or anyone in particular. |

Hard to agree there.
. Not even talking about the smell now...
