2017! Hmmmm... 1) I regret being stupid....for the first time in my life, I disobeyed God's explicit warning about someone & now.... 2) I lost four good friends. I still don't understand how. We just drifted apart  3) I regret not being serious with God. I'm sorry for neglecting you Lord. 4) I regret procrastinating in almost every part of my life(Spiritual, Academic, Physical, Financial). Wish I could really learn to take things serious. 5) I regret re-opening my heart to love(after a long time) & having it shattered even worse than all other heartbreaks combined. 6) I regret trusting too much & opening up too much. But in all, I thank God for HIS Spirit in my life. |

Jupxter: That's why i always leave life like i settle for a loss. I keep clean hands, pure heart, pure motives. People will call you a fool if you live this clean, but trust me,down the line you'llsee the rewards. I was in an office discussing such subject, and an elderly man walked in, he was the CEO of different companies in the country and he affirmed this comment, saying, all his university colleagues that were in shady deals stealing villagers chicken etc, all of them had problem til today, none did well in life, just the ones that were of clean hands. If one is sowing for 5-10-15-20 years, purity of motive is of the essence ma, we may fall short of our convictions, but we should strive to do our best ! Righteousness is a shield that protects from evil It's always good to be pure, both in heart and in deed! Nothing pays like being honest and sincere in your dealings with people. |

Blackfyre: My guy, i avoid long stories with such people, some people are very compulsive liars. They will lie and twist things you would begin to doubt your reality. I will just simply tell you to swear on it, no time. Oh! There are also good liars who swear with anything you want them to swear with. The thing is, if I don't believe you, I don't no matter what you use to swear. I have seen very good swearers/liars. Infact, from experience, those who swear often lie the most. |

lefulefu: who is more Godfearing than apostle sulieman and pastor Chris oyakilome? But then they were accuse of extra marital affairs abi? Pastor Chris was here in Nigeria doing his ministry while his wife was over in the UK. Forget he's a pastor..he is also a man and has feelings and the temptation came..maybe if his wife and him weren't separated by long distance i doubt if any issue of cheating would have arised. Look,God fearing or not...if u no gree give ur husband the way he want am in ze oza room then he will easily fall to temptation. Not every self acclaimed Christian is God fearing. Including Pastors. Nobody is above temptation. But it's easy for God fearing men to overcome than others. Sex(no matter how crazy, sweet, frequent, spontaneous, fun) can NEVER be enough to hold a partner who wants to stray.  |
Romance › Re: Top 10 Things Women Do To Destroy Their Marriage by MissJoy29(f): 6:51pm On Dec 11, 2017 |
lefulefu: yes she might be very beautiful but cold in the bedroom.the problem is many ppl who are not sexually compactable get married to each other. This also contribute to the cheating issue.a one minute indomie noodle man gets married to a woman with a high sex drive and is not ready to address his problem ..so wat do u think will happen? .or a lady who believes MouthAction is a sin and an abomination and gets married to a man who is sexually adventurous and she's not ready to bend to her believes..how do u think dat also will end? Ppl just lump themselves into marriage with ppl they don't like and they believe everything will turn out right. In this same country there are some married men when its time to close in their workplace u see them looking so cheerful and wen u ask them wats up they tell u they can't wait to get home and just hold their wives in their arms .sister do u think such a man will cheat on his wife? I disagree in a way. It's only a genuinely God fearing spouse that won't cheat on their partners. There will always be more intelligent, sensuous, beautiful/handsome people than your partner. Sometimes, there's no hard & fast rule to keeping a partner. A partner that wants to cheat will cheat no matter what. Even if everything is perfect. It's just God! Besides, how do we even know a marriage that's perfect. A lot of people pretend just to save their faces. What you might see as rosy on the outside might actually be a façade...experience has taught me that. |
Romance › Re: 10 Strong Reasons You Should Get Married In Your 30s, Not Your 20s by MissJoy29(f): 6:17pm On Dec 11, 2017 |
I'm especially directing this post to @kreativegenius and @ubunja who have been talking about women in their 30's having too much "baggage". Is it that men don't have baggages? What do you even consider as baggage? Only negative changes stem from bad relationships? That's where I fault your reasonings. I have a friend who frankly hasn't had any experience with females, he is currently in his first major relationship. But cos the girl isn't all that serious with him and cos of his person & how much he loves her, that experience has hardened him. I ask him a lot, "how many experiences have you had that makes you hate women like this"? On the other hand, there are people who have gone through so many heartbreaks yet still have so much love and sweetness to give when they find the right person. I tell my friends, "no amount of heartbreak will make me mistreat my husband or make him pay for the sins of others. If I can love the wrong person so right, what do you think I will do when I see the right person". The bad experiences will just make me naturally cautious(once bitten, twice shy). And that's a good thing cos you weed out the bad ones around you. But once the right person comes along, there shouldn't be any holds barred. What am I trying to say? Bad experiences or too many failed relationships do not equal "lack of freshness", "too many baggages" or "loveless" like you all called it. There are so many other factors that might contribute to that like indirect experiences. A lot depends on an individual to know how he/she reacts to the experiences in their lives. On the right time to marry, it depends. Age is just a number. Some mature early, some don't. What works for A may not work for B. I would have got married by now if I know what I know now earlier on in life. But on the other hand, I seem to think I know a whole lot that will make me stay in the marriage now. I know myself very well. If I had got married then, I don't think I would have lasted. And that's something I wouldn't want to go through, DIVORCE. So, whatever age works for the individual: teens, 20's, 30's, even 40's. The most important thing is Peace, stability and fulfilment in the marriage. Only Pray for the right person & all these restrictions we give ourselves will fade into nothingness. Always remember that it's not how fast but how WELL! On the right place to marry from, I have also seen marriages between Nigerians and foreigners that didn't go down well. And there are a lot of marriages between Nigerians that stood ( & still standing ) the test of time. But one thing I know for sure is, guys who are in those countries you mentioned & felt their ladies are better for marriage than our ladies, still leave those ladies and come back home to take a wife. Have you asked yourself why? Find out. All these our guys ranting hete and there about Nigerian girls this, Nigerian girls that, how many foreign women have they married? Every weekend, weddings go on here. Who's marrying who you should ask? You shouldn't judge a book by its cover you know. That someone is good for relationship/friendship, does it mean that person is good for marriage? If that's the case, everyone would have been married by now...or don't you think?  |

Prec1ous: While all your points don't tick. Most are correct.
The aspect about attention is what freaks some ladies out indirectly, this makes them think they worth too much, then misbehavior sets in. Unknown to them, the guy is the paymaster to the piper.
Also the part about intelligence is a go too, but it happens really because the guy has you alone so he checkmates and second guess you.
Do not ever think you conquered a faithful man, he has his reasons. He may want one woman at a time so he can chase other goals.
And yes, they got very high libido too and all that sexual frustration and it's accompanying anger is fixated in you. Hmmmm....makes sense |

derock123: All that glitters are not gold but that doesn't mean we won't go after shiny things cause good things are good. I started dating my girl(now my fiancé) Since my first year in the uni and I must say, it's been enjoyable, though laced with dramas. She's my first and by God's grace will be my last. If there's something she hated most, it's cheating which made her leave her wealthy first love and settled for me when I had nothing. I've never cheated on her and never will, I guess the environment, my will and self control helps me a lot. I have nothing against men that cheat, in fact since I came to leave in the city most of my friends even married ones cheat in from of me but I see it as their way of life while acknowledging my own way of life. I'm giving all these details about myself cause I used myself as a case study and I made sure I exhausted all my excuses b4 writing this post.
now to the point, ladies (I mean good ladies) wishes for a faithful man, but most of the times they can't handle them, I will go ahead and list the consequences of having a faithful man, some of the points are detrimental to the man but it's still a valid consequences to the woman:
1. YOU GET ALL THE ATTENTIONS: this might seem good but looking at it critically, can you really handle all of a man's attention? With this, many things are expected of you cause of course to whom much is given much is also expected. All his sexual needs are equally directed to you. sometimes I see and meet beautiful ladies and I assure myself that yes these ladies a cute but that's all I know about them. I try my best to score my woman above them, and make sure she wins, when this accumulates, it forms serious desire that sometimes she can't handle it. faithful men are hornier than Casanovas .
2. ALL YOU DO MATTERS: faithful men are usually intelligent, and intelligent people do more of thinking and I the middle of these thoughts is the woman they love, hence, most of the times meanings are read into things she might not read meaning to. The thing is, cause you're a serious entity in his life.
3. YOU GET LESS 'I'M SORRY': unfaithful men usually have no problem with saying sorry because he just want you to be happy at the moment so he could get what he wants. faithful men put good thought when dealing with their woman, hence when she complains, sorry is not the first thing they offer, they first try to figure out the mistake if any, not that your feelings doesn't matter but he's trying to fix what happened for good.
4. YOU'LL GET FAT: true! Men that are truly faithful are true lovers. hence they try not to exploit your weakness, always seeing good in you. always trying to make you better without you doing more. This sometimes translates to the lady getting lazy or worst still fat. 
5. FUNNY SURPRISES: because of reason #2 above, you might get some funny reactions sometimes. also cause he endures a lot, you might not know when enough truly becomes enough. unfaithful men most of the times can afford your dramas after all, there's alternatives, but faithful ones has no way out but to either bend you or bend themselves, hence expect some funny surprises. 6. YOU FEEL HE'S BEEN CONQUERED: you feel he has no better choice than you. You feel you need more. You value him less
The list can continue but I'll stop here for now. But I must say, the advantages far, I mean, far outweighs the disadvantages. I like your last paragraph the most. That's the most important point here. |

Well it's either I'm not a female at heart or something is wrong with the notions of most men that women like "bad boys". And I have been trying in all sincerity to remember all the guys I have ever been attracted to for keeps. They are never " bad guys"! Why would I be attracted to someone everyone knows is bad? What does that even make me?
Now, being nice shouldn't be a bad thing. Just that people take advantage of them a lot. I would know cos I have been there. But it doesn't mean that I would start trying to get attracted to a "bad guy". It's good to be good. |

Here's an idea for the mods: there should be the option (available to users) of creating a topic to which people cannot reply. So that anyone who's arrogant enough to declare his write-up an incontrovertible treatise can use that option and count his 'likes' in peace, without dealing with the dissenting opinions that are bound to arise that could hurt his fragile ego.

CrescentMoon: The fourth one is not in Nigeria and she is the best I've ever met in term of intelligence. We can't overcome distance, and we had to rule out dating. It's a different situation when something finds you first and when you are trying to find something. If it finds you first, thank your star. If you are the one trying hard to find it, the cost will be great and what you find may still not be needed by you. What I'm saying is that before I could get the attention of the four women, it took me months each. Stalking them in threads - arguing with them today, asslicking tomorrow, creating threads that make you come off as intelligent, dishing out advice to feeble minds etc. It's not easy. I had to retire. They said in a bid to rescue a drowning person, ensure that he loses all his ability to swim before you make attempts to rescue him. If not, the two of may get drowned. Maybe that's what God wants to do in my case.
Intelligence is more important to me. But I want at least intelligence with average appearance because beauty will still fade. Lol @stalking them in threads. I understand your frustration though. True @the drowning illustration. In as much we have expectations from our future partners, we shouldn't be so rigid and helbent & set in our ways. Sometimes we even want something that will turn out not to be good for us in future. So we have to be flexible and wise as well. The most important thing is Peace of mind. Wish you well in your search |
Romance › Re: Benita27 I Want To Toast You.. by MissJoy29(f): 1:55pm On Dec 06, 2017 |
CrescentMoon: Intelligent, beautiful women are predominantly found in best offices, movie and music industries, or as married housewives. Hardly will a woman with such credentials go for interviews and not get the job because getting connections is easier for them. Once they get into that office, their male colleagues become their targets as husbands. Once hooked up, you don't see them online contributing to ideals, philosophies - visiting shoprite and getting spoiled by the man becomes the order of the day. If they are unable to get a man with like mind in their job environment, they will become active and more involved in having a better society - contributing to anything that will make the earth a better place. While doing these, acquaintances will start multiplying for them. And after taking baby steps to see if the acquaintances of theirs will make better partners, and find out otherwise, they give up and rely on fate while their marital clock seems on a sprinting spree. If a genuine man shows up later online, he would become a victim of generalization of masculine stereotype. Like myself who likes to marry someone like Chimamanda Adichi, Angelina Jolie, or the woman who is the Queen of Iceland in the movie Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King, where will I meet such? And if there are nairalanders that have such potentials, they seem only coming here to read news and disappear into thin air. When suitors are already stumbling upon their selves to have the attention of these type of women offline, you don't expect them to give attention to those men in cyberspace except a supernatural force is playing a script.
Why I gave up
I have met three women that once held nairaland hostage in term of intelligence. I too had put more effort in appearing intelligent and won the attention of these women (I deactivated those accounts). When we met, their physical appearance is nothing to write home about despite my own imperfections. I mean their appearance is not what I can afford to live with forever. At present, I see pretty girls every second. But if anyone say I will choose a wife from among them, I will flick my left hand off my head as a way of dispelling evil omen in my corner of the world. Now my definition of a 'moderate pepper seller' is a pretty girl with ability to write and read well without higher education, and I still can't find that - hence the hope to meet one. Ok, I get you now. You are in a way right. But why conclude with only three experiences? Now, which is more important to you? The beauty or the intelligence? Cos from your write up, you have met the intelligent but they were not beautiful. You also mention that you see beautiful women every day and I guess they are not as intelligent as you want. And from your views too, the combination of the intelligent and the beautiful are not easily found. So, assume this is as real as it is, which would you choose? |
Romance › Re: Benita27 I Want To Toast You.. by MissJoy29(f): 12:23pm On Dec 06, 2017 |
CrescentMoon: Let me tell you why it always doesn't pan out as expected: until a man meets his crush in person, he is not in a position to think he has genuine feelings for someone. And the probability that a pretty girl you know in that street of yours is intelligent is almost zero as most of them turn out to be 'pepper them gang' mantra advocates. Besides, pretty, intelligent women are usually not found in the streets (married off or infront of computers in large corporations), and most of us combing nairaland for beauty-plus-brain designates are at present from the streets. You may ask 'what are you still doing in the street if you are truly wise?' And I will tell you that women stand a better chance with job opportunities if the brain and the beauty remain their exclusive preserve. What we see as beauty is never constant, no matter how pretty a woman is.
There was a time a girl missed her direction and entered our compound. I was stuned beholding such a gem. I asked who she talked to for her mission and I made efforts to cross her path again. When I finally had the chance to look into her eyes, I told myself she is not for me - I have a way of seeing what I want upon looking into a woman's eyes.
The first girl I met from NL never sent her pic to me. When we met, I backed off, despite her imposing academic exploits - more educated than my self. The second one works with a financial institution. She considers my physical form 'a threat' because hers is a very below average appearance. Now you may say why don't I go into prayer for God to help me. I will say God should answer my prayer for career goals first before I will have the energy praying for marriage. I still don't understand. Especially your first paragraph. Where are pretty,intelligent women found? You only mentioned where they are not found... in all, what are you saying in essence? Hit the nail on the head. Why are brained girls( like you called them) not suitable for dating? |
