RomanceRe: For Them Nice Guys Like Graham And Danhumphrey by Matthewbriggs(m):
Ihedinobi: How do I know what a woman wants? I was born by one. A strong-ass woman too. God bless my Momma!

I made a thread to explain the differences among the various categories of men. It's still got a great deal of potential because there are things yet unsaid there. But quiye a bit has been already.

There is no such thing as a Nice Jerk.

Love is not manipulative.

Being nice does not translate to being a pushover.

Now, my turn. How would you know what a woman wants?
@bolded
- it's like saying there is nothing like the colour gray
- Love is not maniputalitive at the same time not been silly to the point of been manipulated
- Been nice does not translate to been a push over but may at the same mean listening to her needs putting them above your's in most cases. Which is wrong.

Errmhh.... Most women don't know what they really want, only very few do, in most cases It's up to the guy to convince them he's the real deal which happens to be something jerks are good at. (My personal observation).

Wu Zetian: I disagree.

Everyone should better themselves continuously, and that should be a habit. Not some fake persona you put on to attract a female. Oh well, I guess it depends on the female too.

Someone like me will see beyond the 'packaging' and it will irritate the fvck out of me.
That's the word. Be real, because life is too short for pretense, be you a jerk, a nice guy, or a nice jerk have fun been yourself. The most important thing is better your self continously pick and drop traits as you journey towards perfection. Never change becuause of a guy or gurl but for you.

@ihediobie I believe be you a jerk, a nice guy or a half blood prince (nice jerk). There is a woman out there that will like you for you. My decision to be a nice jerk is for my own sanity, it is now who I am no matter the type of argument or point raise can never change my stance.

I love control, I love romance, I love taking charge.
It's my blessing and my curse.

#Team Nice Guy with an attitude. wink

@Ihedinobie. Been too nice is soooo boring. Like I posted earlier jerks have traits that are quite enviable, good ones I might add. But most importantly, balance my friend is very important.

Ihedinobi: @M.Briggs, long as it's about getting the babes for you, you got yourself a bigass problem.

Let the babes be and do what they will. Just learn to enjoy being you is all. Keep evolving, becoming a better you and all other things shall be added unto you. wink

Different Stroke for different women. Some like their guys nice, some like jerks. I think over time I am gradually meter-morphing from a nice guy into what I call a nice jerk.. Reason been that certain traits of a jerk is quite useful in a relationship. Merging it with my default Niceness, it can help keep things interesting and unpredictable. Enabling one to Stay in control, keeping her on her toes, Making her never see you as weakling or puppet that's predictable or boring.

By default we know most Ladies like to end up marrying the nice guy because of the sense of security he provides, but prefer to date the jerks because of the sense of adventure he give them. Been a nice jerk you get to bring the best of both worlds to the table cheesy

Nairaland GeneralRe: Marthakings Account Was Hacked by Matthewbriggs(m): 8:08pm On Oct 24, 2013
So once an account is deactivated it can still be resurrected... So even if you deactivate your monker. It is still tied in the background to one's account.

I am not surprised. This reminds me. My fellow nairalanders. You are not as anonymous you think you are. With one click off a mouse and a line of code every thing about you can be pieced together.

Your online activity anonymous or not, one moniker or 10 moniker, deactivated or not can be accessed. In fact you are been profiled right now without you knowing.

Be very weary of the foot footprints you leave. Because my friends you are not as anonymous as you think you are.

What you are experincing is a facade. it's false anonymity.

Welcome to web 3.0 my friend.

EntertainmentRe: Nairalander Won The Skelewu Dance (video) by Matthewbriggs(m): 10:52pm On Oct 09, 2013
One lesson I took after watching the videos of other contestants. Is that the race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.

There were better, brillant and well shot/edited performances than the winners own but he ended up winning. Amidst all odds.

It all points to the fact that when it's your time the sun will stand still...

RomanceRe: What Are Your Fears About Marriage ? by Matthewbriggs(m): 5:02pm On Oct 08, 2013
Nothing really my parents have proved to me that marriage is indeed beautiful. They've set the benchmark and example for me to improve upon.

I use to be afraid that I'll marry the the wrong person but I discovered my footsteps are ordered by God and so far my life to this point has been ordained by him.

I use to be afraid that'll I fall out of love and cheat on her due to the numerous transformation her body will go through over time due to child birth and stress. But I have to come realize that beauty is just a skin deep and the real value of a woman is her companionship and the beauty that eminates from her soul. Presently when I like a lady I usually picture her at different stages of her life, pregnacy, child birth, monopause, even till old age. The more I do, the more I get to fall in love.

I think long term . Because I believe the future belongs to those who see it.
Therefore I am hustling hard against the future I see, preparing my mind, soul and pocket for Mrs. Matthew. As a a helpless romantic, I can't wait to to shower her with love, I can't wait for our romantic vacation, waking up to see her face, the surprise birthday parties I'll host for her, the exquisite dishes I will learn how to cook just to surprise her. I can't wait to have her as my beautiful distraction, a face I come home to after facing the stress of managing my multi billion dollar business empire.

I fantasize about Matthew jnr, he's first day at school, steps I will take to always be there for him and various father- son discussion I'll have with him in a bid to prepare him for this world. I can't wait to to welcome my Ada, to to become her first love, setting the bar high for her prince charming and helping as she navigates through life.

I also imagine the quarrels and the fights me and my Mrs will have, I am practising my three magic words "baby am sorry" and learning how not to allow my ego cloud my sense of of judgement.

I am not afraid of marriage, Instead look forward to it. As I do am learning to put my body under my subjection, to comtrol my desires and with shears I prune out every selfishness to implant selflessness.

I know when the time is ripe the constellations will fall in place, the sun will stand still, and the rings of destiny shall trade hands.

Till then I live my life building my dreams... One day at a time.

Nairaland GeneralRe: A Behavioural Change Campaign Thread for Nigerians by Matthewbriggs(m): 12:10pm On Oct 07, 2013
Very well said. What you've pointed out is not far from the truth. Over the years I have come to realize that we Nigerians are Nigeria's problem. Our mindset and outlook towards life is the root cause of our many woes.

The Average Nigerian is more concerned about what he can take not what he can contribute to society.

We feel like the nation is indebted to us, that the government owes us, we therefore go to any length to milky her dry in our bid to take our cut of the proverbial national cake instead of contributing the ingredients needed to make the cake bigger and enough for everyone.

We love to play the blame game instead of the "lets fix it game". Blaming everyone and everything but ourselves.

The Average Nigerian is limited in his world view, he never aspires to be an agent of change, to contribute to humanity, and make his nation a better place, but instead cares so much about his stomach, about how to use instead of create, to consume instead of manufacture, to destroy instead of build.

Majority of our youths go through the four walls of the university with the main goal of getting a certificate that will land them their dream job and will go to any length good or bad to get that paper, instead of seeing the university experience as an opportunity to empower them self with the necessary knowledge to create, invent and serve the nation at optimum capacity.

We lack self belief and suffer from low self esteem... This is evident in our never ceasing hesitation to compare ourselves with others instead of appreciating our uniqueness, reflecting and correcting our mistakes.

There are so many things wrong with us. That if fixed on individual level, collectively it has the potential to reshape the destiny of this nation.

The change Nigeria needs start with not just you but most importantly Me!!.

Christianity EtcRe: What Have You Suffered For Christ? by Matthewbriggs(m):
I Lost the opportunity to be sponsored by a relation that worships a false religion to study in an ivy league university in the US.

Didn't get admission for 7 years in a Nigerian university because me and my folks never believe in giving or taking bribe to secure anything or soiling our hands so with no connection or the willingness to engage in admission runs. I took jamb tirelessly. Hehehe.

I am so happy I went through the above. I got to understand that these challenges were all part of his game plan. I thank him for giving me the grace to stand and persevere. Most importantly, Like Job he's rewarded me in thousands of folds.
