LostMyZeal: The truly sad part is that no team can survive 3 or more players having a bad day. Unfortunately, this team is consistently having at least 7 bad performers every match day. McFred was sh*t in the last game. McT was dropped and DDG decided to pull devil's advocate. Eriksen, a bright spot from the last game, just looked out of sorts all game. Now ETH will have to replace Shaw, Martinez in the next game. And hope that DDG, Dalot, Maguire, or Fred do not f**k up against LIV. Who here is willing to take that bet? Will Rashford, Sancho, and Bruno suddenly recover their form within 7 days? I do not envy ETH right now. This is a legit nightmare! I mean, the club is trying to get Adrien fl*pping Rabiot on 200K+ to shore up this midfield. Astounding, really! Astounding! -Lord 1 Like 1 Share |

Expert17: Most coaches would want to see for themselves before it's made out to be like they never gave certain players a chance to prove themselves. Safe to say the "DDG playing with his feet" experiment is shelved for the time being. Fred starts over McTominay. Malacia over Shaw. Varane until he gets injured again. Bruno needs to make way for VdB. The likes of Sancho, Rashford, and Dalot have to continue playing in spite of their poor form because there are no replacements. ETH needs lots of luck going forward. It's out of his hands really. I'm rooting for him tho'. -Lord 2 Likes |

Ibime: The unwinding did not have to be this severe. You're being dishonest if you discount that. QE lasted from 2008 to 2014. In Europe, it lasted from 2015 to 2018. QE was understandably restarted in 2020 because of COVID. The initial fiscal response to COVID was necessary. It was the extra sh*t and ret*rded public health policy that primarily f*cked the economic structure. Not some phantom 12 years of QE. Not even the fiscal response. Strict lockdown policies even after the vaccine had been released for those who needed it destroyed economic activity. It wasn't too long ago that folks wanted to stay home for "as long as necessary" to save grandma. That was a public health policy pushed by your side of the divide that didn't give a d*mn about economic consequences. No surprise paying folks to stay at home and maintain high-level of consumption for years will lead to record inflation. You're clearly conflating issues and espousing a gross underappreciation of the factors that precipitated this downturn. If you're talking about unwinding, 2018 was a sh*t year for the markets. The worst in over a decade. There was no recession tho'. So talking about QE from 2008 as a primary contributor to a recession in 2022 is poor analysis. And hard as you may try to dismiss the Russian debacle, it made a bad situation worse. Do you have any idea what the pressures of a sudden halt of cheap Russian energy to the West have wrought on the economy? While we were already dealing with supply chain drama and newer strains with grossly exaggerated responses. Sure, the exposure of the Europeans are higher, but it isn't the 2000s anymore. Heck, during the Arab Spring you speak of, American energy production was breaking new records, Russia was feeding Europe all the energy they could have, and China was not pursuing an aggressive zero covid policy. Of course, it felt like America was weathering $100 oil "easily" as you put it, when the rest of the world was humming along. I need not point out how different things are now. -Lord |

Dscop: Is that all? Biden will also be a one term failure like Carter. After apparently getting the "most votes" in history. The election was stolen. More Americans, including Democrats, accept that now than they did at any point in the last two years. Democrats just waive it off as a necessary evil to avoid living under Trump. Well, as the slang goes, "hand don touch everybody". I really do hope the recession doesn't hurt you that badly. Diasporans are responsible for over $30b in inflows every year. Insult Trump as much as you want, but keep cashing that check. Best of luck to you! I'm thankful for the Trump years and BIDEN can't GTFO soon enough. You guys had Warren, Klobuchar, and co and you had to steal the election for that senile "Pedo Pete" f*ck. Very annoying! -Lord 1 Like |

Ibime: You and I both know the Ukraine War did not need to happen. Biden's attack against oil drilling did not need to happen. If Trump were in charge, Putin will not have invaded and he would not shut domestic drilling to go beg for oil from the likes of MbS and Maduro. Both actions have exacerbated the downturn worse than it should have been. Interestingly, this is intentional. The establishment wanted to cut ties with Russia and bleed their economy for having the gall to do away with Yeltsin. Trump halted that plan in 2016. So they had to make up for lost time when Biden got in. One of the better reasons is geopolitical. America does not share power. It's primacy is its #1 priority. So a resurgent Russia, China, Iran, and whoever else must be cut to size as a matter of centuries old foreign policy. On the second count of oil drilling. For better or worse, ESG is a thing now and the entire West is moving on from fossil fuels. Strategically, it makes sense to cut domestic supply, use foreign supply as a transitory stopgap, and let high prices encourage change in consumer habits. The problem though is that the establishment and yourself would not be caught dead embracing the positives and negatives of these pivots. So in the first case, Russia is the aggressor even though Ukraine had killed more than 10,000 ethnic Russians in the east in an 8-year civil war. In the second case, the high prices are Putin's fault, even though that was the desired outcome all along. When I point this out, you see it as me playing politics with the economy. You're an American with Nigerian ancestry. I'm not. I think a multi-polar world is better for Nigerians and Africans, in lieu of the hierarchy of Western Liberalism. For instance, the entire climate change brouhaha is using a fairly valid issue--if you can harness energy sustainably, why burn finite fossil fuels and cause needless pollution--to rewrite the rules-based order; such that the West's foes and anyone who isn't aligned with it will get burned. It'll also be a pretty huge stick to coerce non-Western countries into compliance with America's dictates . Currently, Americans and Europeans are encouraging Nigeria to fill in the oil and gas shortfall while simultaneously cutting financing for Nigerian oil and gas projects. Then Biden sends $55m as subscription fee under the guise of aid that'll be funneled to Imperial operatives like our beloved dual-citizen House Speaker as a pat in the back for job well done. Curiously, I think the world needs a strong America. As it does a strong Russia and China. Same way the world needs a strong Iran to counter the excesses of the House of Saud and the Zionists. Unfortunately, for the hawks in D.C, tolerance and liberty are only feel-good buzzwords. Germany is currently committing economic suicide because the hawks in Washington D.C cannot fathom a world where German industry and Russian energy make them co-dependent and give the Europeans dangerous ideas about independence or autonomy from American hegemony. -Lord 1 Like |

CAPSLOCKED: The Musk men are immune to oneitis. They are notorious. Elon's genes are literally preventing him from reaping a whirlwind. That is why he was able to escape Heard, Grimes, his first wife and numerous others we'll never hear about. It's not about money either. A few weeks back, his father had a kid with his stepdaughter. For the second time. Elon himself has 10 kids. The latest from an executive at Neuralink, another company he owns. It is very possible that he could go back to his ex-wife or beg an ex-gf. He's been on an on-off with Grimes for a while now. -Lord 4 Likes |

shantti: She's breathtakingly gorgeous. It'll be interesting to see if her beauty holds up like Halle Berry or Monica Bellucci. Ageless goddesses at 55 and 57 respectively. That's the thing about beauty. Everyone peaks at different ages. The likes of Megan Good, Regina Hall, Gabriel Union, Christina Milian were to die for in their hey days. Many would look at Amy Adams today and think she isn't much to look at. Not knowing that she was enchanting in their 20s. Meanwhile, Gal Gadot was forgettable early on in the Fast and Furious movies. But became a sex symbol after Wonder Woman. The likes of Zendaya, Claire Grace Moretz, and Isabela Merced, while enthralling, can only hope to match what the likes of Megan Fox, Kayley Cuoco, and Jennifer Lawrence did to teenage boys. If Malia Baker were to become more beautiful in her 20's, she'll be the gold standard for an entire generation. That said, there are beautiful people everywhere. To the point that it is technically impossible to have a top 5 list. Sometimes on a vacation your stunned gaze transfixes on a creature that is distractingly and almost painfully attractive. -Lord |

tosaino95: That's how he described himself in his Amazon Author Bio. 'Sometimes called the "Godfather of the Red Pill"...' ![]() I will not begrudge him for self-promotion, but the manosphere predates him. As such, I'm at a loss as to why you're using that promotional writ as a statement of fact. Perhaps, this should be a PSA, but TRP is not a cult of personality. Most of us here think for ourselves. We don't espouse TRP tenets because someone said so, but because we've made our own observations and come to the same conclusions as many of the veterans. There is no Daddy G.O or Prophet. Tomassi is married. I'm never getting married. Still, I'll accord him his due and reiterate the points he makes. and This Your Long Epistle you don't really need to type it because i already know this is what y'all will keep saying. My posts are for a wider audience. Quoting you is immaterial. Sometimes, the concepts shared here may be startling to a cross-section of readers. Many of whom would need a more fleshed-out version for thorough, deeper understanding. There are way too many men still stuck in the matrix that I can't be bothered that you're getting your knickers in a twist over consensual sex. Cope and seethe!

Gerrard59: I'm sorry, your explanations aren't completely valid. The first makes sense. But basic economics stipulate that if demand is low and supply is high, as is the case with hotels in Nigeria, cost should be low. If the average rate is lowered, there will be a significant uptick in local demand. To be fair, the massive devaluation in the past few years shrunk the average $ rate of run-off-the-mill hotels in Nigeria. I recall, when the rate was N100-150/$, a decent room in a standard hotel cost about $100/night. Still, at current depressed rates, how many days can minimum wage get you in a budget hotel/guest house? And how does that compare to "bedsitter" rent? If the rate was lower, I can assure you that folks will stay in hotels more when they travel. Rather than put up with hosts, they'll prefer to spend a middling percentage of their wages for convenience, comfort, and privacy. The pool of customers will be far more diverse than h*rny folks. I put it to you that the size of their main clientele will increase as well. Take a look at the restaurant industry. There's a service tier for every price range in most locations, with the exception of the top 3 cities. And, more importantly, it stacks up quite fairly to doing the cooking yourself at the budget echelon. The heap of reasons in your second paragraph are not convincing. I agree that power is a major challenge. The others--taxes, provision of security, and serenity--are non-issues. Certainly not significant enough to warrant the high gulf in prices between what is obtainable in Nigeria and elsewhere. I've never stayed in a budget hotel room in Nigeria, but I know they're nothing to write home about and the going rate will take a chunk out of the minimum wage (which isn't enforced or applied nationally/liberally). I also know that hotel workers are poorly remunerated. The managers make out like bandits, but that's capitalism in a third-world country. I have no issue with the international chains and the luxe bracket. I mean, your dollar goes further in NA and Asia. However, I'm particularly irked by the budget to premium segments. -Lord |

Danycrusoe: Folks should be careful about who they do business with. A**holes will be a**holes regardless of gender. Billabong and ABC Supply were started by couples. Conversely, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Zuckerberg all tried to screw over their male founding business partners. What would it have cost the man to put himself on the Board of Directors of the company he was starting for his "wife"? Or to own a controlling stake and be a silent partner? Jeff Bezos gave his parents shares in Amazon when he started for their seed capital. The way a lot of men relate with women make it difficult to commiserate when they've been served hot breakfast. I'm pretty sure when the wife earlier in the relationship was sh*t-testing him with the 'my money is my money, but your money is our money' line, he overlooked it and didn't set his foot down. A few pages back a commenter here shared how he gave his wife an ultimatum after she grumbled over taking care of a bill. If you like, let your decision to marry or enter a committed relationship be guided solely by virginity, her figure, or her submissiveness. If you forget you're dealing with a human being and don't watch out for your interest because she calls you daddy, you go collect wotoporously. Lastly, when he is ready to deal with the ingrate, he should get on with it. PS: Everyday husbands open shops for wives in this country, men do business with women they're not married to, he should enter vawulence mode and learn the right lessons from his mistakes. One of the first things you should learn about money, is that you should be cautious about friends and family. Whether it is just a 5k loan or a multi-million naira business. -Lord 25 Likes 3 Shares |

Kingsince95: Everyone, inclusive of both genders, want it all. The same way men want a woman as beautiful as Jasmine Matthews, as intelligent as Marie Curie, as sexually explosive as Moriah Mills, and as morally astute as Mother Theresa in one package. Women want the same. So if she's entertaining your advances and lets you kp*nsh, of course she'll want more. The only exception is when they're really just all about finding a release; then yes, it's only for the fun. The average woman getting all involved with the "bad boys" in their youth are clearly hoping it becomes permanent. There's no sexually active guy only y*nshing thrill-seeking women, especially in this part of the world. So you're not in the minority. To your question, personally, I don't think there is a right or wrong way to go about it. Even when you inform them beforehand, they'll agree to get a foot in the door, with the misguided belief that they'd change you later on. It's happened to you. It's happened to me. It's happened to many guys. Women do truly believe their v*gina is their superpower. I'm picky about what green lights I acknowledge for this reason. It's exhausting to have a ret*rded convo with a skirt who has selective amnesia. But that's just me. You can chop and block numbers later (it's a small world sha). In two words: Do you. -Lord 19 Likes 1 Share |

tosaino95: Ogbeni, calm down. There is no "Red Pill Godfather." There are veterans and quite a number of them are married or in LTRs. However, the manosphere is diverse and the red pill unites several sects, because of its core message. Which is to put yourself (as a man) first and comprehensively understand female nature. I'm MGTOW. @Martinez39s is a monk. @Luminouz is a purple-piller/trad-con. @Ubunja doesn't do camps, AFAIK. There are PUAs (pick-up artists), MRAs (mens' rights activists), and so on. We usually hold back and keep things strictly constrained to basic red pill musings on this thread. Most of us here know Woman most valuable asset is her virginity and we're talking about it now as if it's nothing. I avoid the "virginity" debate because I'm MGTOW. I really do not give a flying f*ck about the sanctity of a tissue somewhere in a woman's tw*t. Nonetheless, for those seeking relationships, I approve of the sentiment that if one gets the option to choose between a used car or a new car, conventional wisdom says, go for the new car. It's common sense. That said, buying a Toyota Matrix new does not mean you can't or should not upgrade to a Lamborghini Urus when you can. @XshegzzyeeiX girl is 19. Her "body count" is 1. She is completely into whatever both of them do as consenting adults. I've read the kinks. They're not extreme. Those clutching pearls about the 'pee' kink should consult those of us who've been with squirters. It's the same sh*t. When a gal squirts on your c*ck, fingers, or face during orgasm; you are being pee'd on. You wash it off; @X.shegzzyeeiX girl washes it off; life goes on. The key takeaway tho' is that she is into it. Every woman has her own kinks. He's unlocked the freak in her. That's what different commenters on this thread have been harping about since page 1. It's page 1516 now. Be that as it may, virginity, sexual compatibility, and a liberal sex life are not the only factors considered when men weigh commitment. I've seen virgins become total nightmares post-commitment with the men who tore the sheet. Besides, in 3 years, when she's 22, if she believes this fellow is not serious about commitment; she'd be the one who'll start hedging her bets. Whether its double-dating, not telling a random chyker that meets her spec that she's in a relationship, or what not. She'll tell these men that she's been with only one guy who didn't value her, and they'll be bragging with their gees that they've found a "good, modest, virtuous girl". Oh, and she'll play that role to a t. Most guys will fall for it. And @X.shegzzyeeiX will receive an invitation card. This has happened so many times it'll make your head spin. Now, the kicker is that if @X.shegzzyeeiX does not expand her sexual horizons, someone else would. It might be now when she's 19, or with a side-dude when she's in a "serious" relationship or marriage. Or if it's the West, after her first divorce. The difference is that you would not hear a peep about it. Not from the gal or the guy. For good reason. Look at the steady barrage @X.shegzzyeeiX has received for sharing his experience on a supposed redpill thread. When we say the red pill is a tough pill to swallow, most folks think it's hyperbole. Nature is brutal. It does not care about your principles. If you only want to do missionary with every woman you're involved with. You're doing that for yourself or to score brownie points with your deity. That would not scratch her b*tch itch though. And unlike the past when women could grow old thinking there are only 3 sex positions, and the matriarchy could pointedly opine that exotic sex positions and acts are unladylike, the modern woman has been sexually emancipated. The best she'll do is do her thing in secret and be a mirror to you (present what you wish to see). Meanwhile, you'll be here almost popping a vein trying to defend the honor of a woman writhing in coital bliss under a golden shower. Know this and know peace. If you're getting into a relationship with a woman, you have to accept that she will not open up about anything in her sexual history she knows or believe you will not be okay with; virgin or not. You'll have no way of knowing unless someone's a loudmouth, you're a telepath, a psychic, or something. And that's one of the caveat emptors of pairing up within a species that is not innately ultra-monogamous. If that reality is too harsh to take in, then you can choose the 'ignorance is bliss' approach. Whatever keeps your sanity. -Lord 43 Likes 6 Shares |

jaxxy: Na. I mean actual short-term apartment rentals. Essentially serviced apartments, but without full-term tenants. With regards to pricing, I've never understood the relative high cost of hotels in Nigeria. It's almost absurd when you compare rates and what you get with what is obtainable overseas. For instance, in the US, you could stay in a motel, low-cost hotel, or budget extended-stay lodgings for about or slightly higher than the going monthly rental rate for the same configuration. Which is handy in lots of scenarios, like when you move to a new city and haven't found an apartment/house to rent yet or you temporarily move out during a domestic crisis. In Nigeria, that is a pipedream. Curiously, besides power, expenses are lower here PPP-wise. It's why everyone tries to build hotels. I'm exploring what it'd take to disrupt the market here like OYO did in India. -Lord 1 Like |

tosaino95: Of course, it has always existed. Humans have had no major genetic alterations in 100,000 years. So the fantasies of the individuals who founded the first cities like Jericho at the very start of the Holocene epoch, are pretty much still the same today. What has changed is access. Especially for women. In that instance by Jeshal, consider how long and inconvenient it would have been for him to get the same responses if he had put forward that statement in person before the proliferation of connected mobile devices. In the past, it was possible in the relatively small communities, for women to grow old without ever encountering someone who even tickles their wild thoughts. They married early, life expectancy was low, and leisure activities/opportunities were far and in between. What do you think women do with all their spare time and privacy? They're not reading Plato's The Republic. -Lord 18 Likes |

Kipaji: Women by nature do not have an incentive to willfully acknowledge not to mention share the wild fantasies they've realized. They are also the biggest proponents of the argument that having a fantasy does not necessarily mean they'll act it out. As it offers a veritable cop out. More importantly, to thoroughly work out just how much women engage in their fantasies, it is pertinent to ask, what stops them from actualizing it? In todays age where a ward under a watchful guardian can take a 30 minutes to 3 hour detour to collect at the back of a shop and free/affordable data allow women to engage with all manner of elements, what exactly stops them from acting out a fantasy? Unlike men who can have fantasies and go years looking for an outlet, babes do not have such restrictions. Unless of course it's a jarring fantasy like non-fatal asphyxiation or pegging a guy. For most fantasies and kinks, there's always someone (or squad) who is willing, heck, who will pay her, to put it to practice. And she'll keep it to herself. Why should she go broadcasting that she likes to be gangb*nged? Everyone tries to cultivate a positive image. The sisterhood would love to make you believe that most women have never acted out their wild desires. It's just an innocent desire they masturbate to but have/will never put into practice. Ask why? And you get sly responses like, 'What do you take me for'? Instead of the truth, which is that, with the right person and under the right conditions, they're game. And hell will freeze over before they admit to doing it or planning to, if you'll not be the object of their fantasy. Because accept it or not, most men relate with women based on perception and their image. Even blue-pilled men who are fond of excusing their excesses get PG-13 versions of their sexcapades. Lastly, and this is crucial to note, in life, hope for the best, but expect the worst. Let a woman surprise you by her unscripted reactions. Discard how she describes or portrays herself. You do not go to an interview in singlet and boxers. -Lord 36 Likes 3 Shares |

Kipaji: Type "top female sexual fantasies" in Google and you'll see threesomes in most of the top 10 lists. Scientific research shows the same. The women who are the subjects of those articles and research papers are not different from the Chinaza or Titi or Amina that you know. A good number of women who look at that pic would want to be the lady if they haven't experienced same in the past. 1 in 100,000. Na opportunity make am no be 3 in 10. And on the list of troubling sexcapades, MFM no even follow. Na 2 guys wen she for gree for at separate times dey collect at the same time. There is an inner wh*re in most women. Men in general have a hard time internalizing this factoid, unless you you don do things yourself. Na lack of opportunities dey hold back women. If they go to tertiary institutions, work certain occupations, have lackluster parenting, get unsupervised leeway, meet boys wen sabi, them go display. In today's world, regular, basic bitch*s are exposed to every naughty sh*t that people had to hunt for Karma Sutra for in the past. Even the virgins.
