Ladies, I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you know that wonderful male friend who offers you a shoulder to cry on or company when you can’t get a date on a Saturday night?

The one you are absolutely certain has no sexual interest in you whatsoever? That man is a liar. That man is a cheat.

He is a con man guilty of friendship fraud. I know this because that man is me. And he’s every other man, too.

I’ve always fancied my female friends. At the age of ten, I fell in love with a girl called Pamela.

Too shy to tell her how I felt, we stayed friends right through the hormonal onslaught of adolescence. She blossomed into a great beauty; I blossomed into a chubby blob.

We’d get drunk together and she’d put her arms around me and say the words no man wants to hear: ‘You’re like a brother to me.’

When a woman says that to a man, what she is really saying is: ‘I would never go for somebody like you in a million years.’
This whole ‘I just want to be your friend’ thing doesn’t make much sense to men. We think that if you really like a man, if you really enjoy his company, his mind, his good manners, his humour and if you’re single, why wouldn’t you want to sleep with him?

The 1989 film When Harry Met Sally first raised the question of whether men and women can ever be just friends.

In the movie, Harry, played by Billy Crystal, was adamant that it wasn’t possible because the issue of sex always got in the way. Sally, played by Meg Ryan, disagreed. This week, science has declared that Harry was right all along.

In a survey by the University of Wisconsin, 88 sets of young male and female friends were asked to rate their attraction to each other in a confidential questionnaire.

It found that men — whether attached or single — were more likely to be attracted to their female friends and want to go on a date with them than the other way around.

Put simply, it means that given half a chance, most men would jump at the opportunity of having sex with their female friends. And yet, despite what these and other researchers have discovered over the past two decades, many women still believe a man can carry on a friendship with a woman, free from any thought of hanky panky.

I know sophisticated and worldly women — married and single — who will say of their male friends: ‘Oh, he never thinks of me in that way.’ How naive they are!

It would be wonderful if men could be friends with a woman without ever imagining what it would be like to sleep with them. But then we wouldn’t be men.

They say that men think about sex every seven seconds. While this may be an exaggeration, we certainly think about our female friends in ways that would make them blush.

As far as guys are concerned, friendship is merely an aphrodisiac. A man can meet a woman who is not, at first glance, that attractive or his type. But as time passes and he gets to know how funny and smart and fun she is, that woman becomes very sexy indeed — and men don’t mind the long game, like I did with Pamela.

Well, not surprised at all.

lol OP I don't know the first thing about birds.

Your claims would have been flatly debunked had you a name for the birds' species

LEERICIST:
A bird died today from electrocution in my area. OP how do you explain that? I'm sorry I don't have pictures

What species of bird was it?

Judeoxide:
This your theory erh...
Ok what then happened to those bats that get electrocuted

Bats get electrocuted because they hang from one line and touch another. This lets electricity flow through them. Birds touch only one line and they have more resistance than the wire so the electricity doesn't flow though them

From an early point in your life, you probably learned about the dangers of electricity. You know not to put your fingers into electrical outlets. You know not to use electrical appliances near water. You know not to climb utility poles.

So it may have puzzled you the first time you saw birds and other small animals, such as squirrels, running along and even sitting for long periods of time on electrical wires high up in the air. At times, electrical wires can be filled with dozens and even hundreds of birds.

Are they getting shocked while they sit there? They must not be, right? After all, you don’t hear any screeches or see puffs of smoke and feathers. There’s no smell of roasted bird in the air. So what’s the deal? How can birds sit on electrical wires and not get shocked?

Electricity flows by the movement of electrons through conductors. The copper wire in electrical wires is a great conductor of electricity. Copper allows electricity to flow easily along its surface.

Electricity flows along the path of least resistance. Birds don’t get shocked when they sit on electrical wires because they are not good conductors of electricity.

Their cells and tissues do not offer electrons an easier route than the copper wire they’re already traveling along. As a result, the electricity bypasses the birds and keeps flowing along the wire instead.

Another reason why electricity will bypass a bird sitting on a wire is because there’s no voltage difference in a single wire. Electricity flows from areas of high voltage to areas of low voltage. Electricity flowing through a single power line at 35,000 volts will continue along the path of least resistance and bypass birds.

If the bird would touch the ground while sitting on the wire or flap its wings and touch another electric wire with a different voltage, then it would get shocked and likely die by electrocution. This is because its body would become a path for the electricity to reach either the ground (no voltage) or a place with a different voltage (another wire at a different voltage, for example). This is why power lines tend to be high in the air with plenty of space between the wires!

6. Readiness For Your Grey Years
Old age comes with a lot of uncertainty. Health, finances, and the society seem to change so fast. You feel dependent, and it is almost 50 years ago you felt this way. You no longer have the huge paying job you desire and you do not have the strength to pursue some money-getting goals. You realise you are out of the league in a fast-paced world. The last thing you want is to be homeless and become a financial liability to your kids for those yearly house rents.

When you don’t have a constant source of income it is smart to reduce your constant expenditure – of which housing tops the list. Having a house gives you the assurance that there is a place for you in this world and for people who want to visit you. Yes, those visits matter especially as you get older. By now your kids and dependants have already moved on to face their own life battles, and they may not understand how loneliness is the new fear for you.
With your own house, you can have your friends come over when they are in your area, and your grandkids can have their holidays with you. You can also demarcate your house and rent out one of the rooms to a younger person so the home feels lively.

Your friend is a backstabber, he broke the rule 121 of the guy's code: "Thou shall not lust after thine guy's crush"

What you need do: Tell him straight point that he doesnt have your go ahead to date the girl because he was aware of your lust feelings for her. This will come in handy when your mutual friends come to settle your kiddish imbroglio, for they shall ask you, "Did you give him the go ahead?"

Now, flash the babe some cash, take her out, talk to her from time to time, tease her, flirt with her, tell her she is beautiful and all those bullsh1t, and dont ever talk about your friend's wrongdoing.... Now finally, tell her you have been crushing on her from the beginning....

She will likely give you a yes if your friend backs down, or she turns the two of you down, which is good.

PS: It is better for you to see her as a nyashable babe than for a relationship, for it reads in rule 87b of the guy's code "Thou shall not get too fucking attached to a single babe", not even when she lives in your compound.

of course they will support, to be honest there wont be any strike.


i really want to be enlighten
they keep saying removal of subsidy but the vice president says there is no such thing but the hike in PMS is because there is no enough fund in the circulation at the moment.

What is the real situation?

The VP actually meant removal of subsidy. Vanguard wrote the news in a way that will confuse the people. You apparently only read the headline. The body of the news was in no way in coherence with the heading.

cicc2010:
In fact I can relate with some of the point, first, when it was time to cut the cake my wife found out that the cake was not good looking and the cake maker started begging that the cake fall and she use pin to pin everything together, my wife was boiling, but did not say anything,the camera man disappeared only to surface after the wedding that his ba3 ran down. The woman that cooked the food nko? The food was brought by 6pm, my wife was so angry and was like i did not wed in the first place, now see enbarasment.But after wedding my wife said I must no pay the balance,but as a gentleman I paid up just for them to get lost

GlorifiedTunde:
Marriage to anyone without the fear of God may most likely end in divorce... Except the disadvantaged partner decides to stay there no matter what.

Why?

Every man/woman must have an addiction/habit like those stated above.

It is only those who have the fear of God (not just a Church goer) that are rid of these habits... I'm speaking from experience.

Like I usually tell ladies, nobody can control a man, not you, your/his parents, friends... Nobody!

Its only the God that he fears that controls him.

But unfortunately, ladies feel most spiritual guys are boring... So you manage what you have

I just learnt some very important things from you...God bless you

And OP needs to be slapped twice on the left cheek. How does his post on IG signifies his reaction to your earlier post on about him NL.

He doesnt have endorsement but he makes his money with shows. He should be getting as high as 2mil per show. If he does 6 shows in a months, is that not 12mil?

Is this man not Falz's dad?
