GOODLUCK!

I wish I could just give you a straight answer. I read somewhere that men cheat just because they CAN. To be honest with you, this is a difficult task, but I sought for help in the hands of Wale Lawal, the editor of City People Fashion and Lifestyle magazine. He was gracious enough to allow me share this story of his with you. To get the FREE eBook "Why Men Dump 'Nice' Ladies..." send a mail to unclelucky123@gmail.com. Read on!

"...when I'm not attempting to night crawl, I drive down to my club, the Lagos Country Club, in the evenings after the day's work is done and try to let my feet up before heading home...It was during one of such evenings that I had the good fortune of spending time in the company of a group of slightly older friends.

The youngest of them couldn't be less than fifty years old. There were about five of them, all of them familiar faces I'd become acquaintances with at the club. We had been 'gisting' about all sorts...but when the discussion veered into women and the many things they represent to us, I got involved again. Soon, questions as to why men cheat on their women came to the fore. And I was more than amused at some of the opinions expressed by these 'older friends' I was sharing the table with.

''Listen, guys, men are naturally made to be insatiable. One single woman cannot satisfy us'', the man they call Captain, obviously the most expressive of the lot, proffered. ''See, I suspect God Himself already knew what we were capable of and simply left us to our own devices in the garden of Eden with Eve. From the moment Adam realized he had been with a beautiful woman all the time, all alone, and began eating the 'real' fruit instead of the one hanging from the trees, our problems started! Adam never let the poor woman rest until he created an entire nation through her! Now, how do you think that came about? You surely must have a voracious appetite for sex to accomplish that!''

Nearly everyone seated at the table laughed at his theory, whether they agreed with him or not I couldn't tell.
''Well, I think that men are just naturally created to be more visually sensitive and active than women. A man is more moved by his visual perception of the opposite sex faster than the woman. And with the sort of things our ladies wear these days, plus their greedy hunt for money, they remain nothing but available and willing preys for men to feed on'', the man I'd come to know as C.J. was the next to speak. And I thought he made some sense.
''C.J. let's be honest with ourselves, do the women we call our wives help matters themselves?'' Engineer Davids, the man I suspect could be the oldest of the bunch joined in. ''When you find that, after just a couple of kids, the woman you call your wife is no longer the pretty, smart and fashionable woman you got married to, what other choice does a man have other than to shift his attention to the beautiful ones outside who tickle his fancy?'' the man had added. And I had to admit that he, too, made sense.

''What do you make of the ones that simply stop being romantic?'' Sir Kenny, obviously a naturally quiet person, added his voice. ''Simply because you've been dating or married for a while, they lose interest in those candle light dinners, the night outs, the steamy love making and those nice sweet-sounding pet names you call yourselves, they just throw everything out of the window. Now, tell me, how won't you cheat on such a woman without batting an eyelid if you come across another who's willing to bring back all the sparks she's taken from your life?''

True. Well said. But I had a question for my 'friends'. '' But, Sir'', I'd turned to Engineer Davids, ''How about those women who do all of these things that we demand of them, like looking good, being fashionable and romantic, yet we still cheat on them, how do we explain that?''
The man simply smiled, then looked at me for a short spell before taking a long gulp from his glass of beer. ''Let me ask you, Wale, is it possible for you to be eating rice every day and not be tempted to taste pounded yam if you have the means to do so?''

I got his drift. But still, I didn't think we'd done enough justice to the subject. Yes, I do agree with some of the opinions they expressed, what I do not agree with is the fact that we only succeeded in passing over 80 per cent of the buck on women. How about us? Why can't we concede the fact that we do have a problem; that we completely lack the capability to keep our emotions in check and call 'Little Johnny' to order? I have seen women who have loved their men with all their hearts, and even made incredible sacrifices to keep their relationship or marriage alive, yet that hydra-headed monster the female folks call 'The Other Woman' still reared its ugly head. Sometimes, the woman suffers a lot of emotional pains that she may just never completely heal from. Some even lose everything they laboured to build with the man if the woman outside turns out to be too hot for them to handle…
...TO BE CONTINUED

CRACKHAUS:
"Sex on the very first night has little to do with being cheap or easy, although it can be seen as such." Really?

You got a mature, thought-provoking contribution there. However, here is what you missed: I did not attempt to pontificate as regards WHEN to do it, that was why i left it open as a QUESTION (How long is long enough?)
And when i said "if you allow MOST men to have their way on the first date, i tell you the truth, they will," that's no insinuation, though nothing is cast in stone. What i expected you to add is "What should a lady do (and not do) or say, (and not say) during the probationary period? That, to a great extent, is what determines whether she should keep him or not. If you ask me even when i'm asleep, i would tell a lady (whether 18 or 48) not to ever DO IT on the first night.

Granted, you can have it on day one and still respect the woman; I even have a friend who will not consider anything 'serious' unless he sleeps with a girl, but that's just ONE out of many.

What a lady should do/or say during the probationary period, is another topic for another day.
Once again, my candid advice is: don't do it on your first night. It is an advice; you either take it or leave it!
Thank you Crankhaus

If you allow MOST men to have their way on the first date, i tell you the truth, they will. That's just who we are. It takes a lot of maturity, discipline, restraint, etc. for a guy to say "NO" when a lady opens the "honey pot" for him the VERY first night. And if we can have it that cheap, we start thinking that every 'Tomisi, Dike, and Haruna' can as well have it. It makes us think you are cheap!
...to be continued!

Dear Nairalanders,

Don’t get it twisted: you apply for a job, and you get a call for an interview. You get hired after the interview and guess what? You are placed on probation for two or three months, depending on the company. During this period, you are not entitled to the full salary or any other benefits. Some ‘mean’ companies won’t even pay anything except for a meagre TA (Transport Allowance), until they are satisfied with the stuff you are made of. Guarantor’s form would have been completed and indemnity angle covered. Then you have the full package!

Dear lady, from the first date you have with a man till you are ready to give him your ‘full package’, you must learn to place him on a probationary period. This is my candid advice. Now the question is: WHEN DOES HE QUALIFY FOR THE "FULL PACKAGE"? Send “I want the eBook” to unclelucky123@gmail.com to find some answers which are in Part Two of an eBook: “Why Men Dump ‘Nice’ Ladies…”
So ladies, how long is long enough? When should a lady hand out her “treasure” to a “toaster”? If you are not from Nigeria, you might not know what the word ‘toaster’ stands for.

When it comes to sex, some ladies make some stupid mistakes. If companies won't pay you the full salary until you've spent some time (most times, three months) on the job, why should you give men your 'treasure' after JUST two weeks of' toasting' you! And you wonder why he's gone! He has got everything without first forming the habit of respecting [/b]you. Sad!
Now, over to you: [b]how long is long enough?

THE ‘NICE’ LADY VERSUS THE ‘CRAZY’ ONE

Dear Nairalanders, for those who saw my PART ONE as a good read, you are appreciated. For those who tongue-lashed me, well, no comment; for those who have got the free eBook, share your experiences; for those who have not got theirs, get yours by sending your email address to unclelucky123@gmail.com. It is strictly for above-18 ladies! Now, let’s get down to business!

“Without tension, without anxiety and suspense, there can be no feeling of release, of true pleasure and joy. It is your task to create that tension in the target, to stimulate feelings of anxiety, to lead them to and fro…” Robert Greene

WHO IS A ‘CRAZY’ WOMAN?
Let’s adopt OUR own definition for the purpose of this PAGE, not the literal meaning. Read the points below to grasp this ‘special’ usage of the terms ‘crazy’ and ‘nice’.

A crazy woman is not afraid to command respect or stand up for herself. She shows her partner that she should be respected. She’s not rude or insulting, but she will never compromise herself in a relationship. She’s ready to respect and honour a man but will never be his servant.
She is confident, honest, and very frank. A man can never take advantage of a ‘crazy’ woman; she will put him where he belongs. She is not perfect and doesn't pretend to be.
She is a happy girl whether single or married; whether engaged of without a boyfriend. She is not desperate and doesn't wear a “marry me” tag on her forehead; WHETHER SHE IS 18 OR 38. She is able to control her emotions, as well as her mouth. She’s not quarrelsome. She doesn't attach to a man too soon. She’s intelligent but she doesn't flaunt it unnecessarily. She doesn't need a man’s approval to live her life and be herself. She is not easily predictable by men.

Her lifestyle is not monotonous; she’s full of surprises which gives her an aura of mystery. She can function on her own, and this makes her sexier than the rest. And, she is not needy or dependent, even financially, so from the get-go, she doesn't appear like a burden to a man. She is never afraid to lose a man, and so, she doesn't lose herself. A crazy woman does not nag, rather she shows you by her actions that she’s not to be toyed with. She knows what to do on her first date and how to manage her phone conversations with a man. Her dressing is not too revealing yet she is sexier than the scantily dressed ‘nice’ girl who is trying hard to ‘catch’ a man.

She knows when to say NO and when to simply walk away; YES, WALK AWAY! THIS IS DIFFICULT FOR ‘NICE’ LADIES. Whether you give her compliments or not, she knows her self-worth and carries herself well. She loves herself. She knows what to do or say (or what never to say) after sex with her man, she knows how to reignite the sex spark and rekindle the fire. A ‘crazy’ woman knows that the road to a man’s heart is not only through her stomach or sex. When a man doesn't pop the question, she knows what to do.
When a man takes her for granted, she knows what to do. She doesn't have to speak in perfect English but she knows when to open and shut her mouth. Most times, she thinks like a man when dealing with men, and this doesn't stop her from acting like the lady that she is; and this challenges men mentally which in turn makes her sexier. She is not your normal girl, no, she is simple but ‘crazy’, an attribute that keeps men off-guard. She is all these and many MORE.

WHO IS A ‘NICE’ WOMAN?[b][/b]
It is very easy to define a ‘nice’ woman, the one we are referring to here. She is just the direct opposite of the crazy woman. She appears too perfect (which is boring), she needs a man’s approval to live her life; she nags her way out of every relationship; she appears desperate and therefore becomes a prey in the hands of the bad guys. She’s unnecessarily talkative, in trying to press home her demands, and this turns men off. She dresses to kill, showing a lot of skin, which makes her to be tagged “sex-only object”. (Men will still look at her, try to get her to bed, and gets ready for another loose, desperate, ‘nice’ woman!)
As Robert Greene admonishes, being too “nice…however, though it may at first draw someone to you…soon loses all effect. Being too nice can literally push the target away from you.” That’s a turn-off!

She’s so artificial! She puts all her cards on the table even during the early days of the relationship and this gives the men a sort of ‘expo’ on how to MANIPULATE and nail her. She is always sweet and agreeable. She can always compromise herself just to please a man. A man disrespects her and she apologizes, just to keep him; she is too obsessed with the fear of losing him that she ends up losing herself… and the man.
She thinks the best way to catch a man is through his stomach and underneath his pair of boxers so she wears herself out TRYING TO provide them. (How sad!) She condones a man’s excesses hoping she would change him eventually. (Really?)

She always flops on her first date with a man because she tries too hard to please him. To a ‘nice’ woman, the guys always have the upper hand. She can’t control her emotions, and she always needs reassurance to live her life. She has got no surprises, too doting on the man, and becomes a bore easily.
According to Sherry Argov, the author of Why Men Marry Bitches:
“A smart, together guy won’t build a life with a woman he feels doesn’t have her feet firmly planted on the ground. Men do not marry ‘little girls’ type because they don’t want to feel like they are adopting a young child. The only reason men like silly women is so they can take advantage of them – in the short term. A quality guy worth his salt wants a partner who…can handle things when he’s not around.”
In another part of the book, she tersely stated, “the fastest way to become boring to a man is to always ‘do as you are told’.”
It follows therefore that men are intrigued by a woman who has her own way of doing things. We admire them secretly and we hang on to such women.
So, dear friend, if he slaps you and you condone it, you are a ‘nice’ woman. Your relationship is about two years old, you have not seen anybody related to him, and the guy is blowing hot and cold, YET you don’t think something is wrong? You are too nice!

COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON

There are still mature people on this thread. Their comments make nairaland worth visiting. Thanks!

"...Now, don’t go looking up the meaning of NICE and CRAZY in your dictionary. That’s not what I’m talking about. I will define a NICE girl and a CRAZY one, for the purpose of this research..."
Did you read this part of the article?

@ ITbomb: When an English word is written with quotation marks (" " or inverted commas (' '), it means (among other things), that the person is not referring to the literal meaning of such a word. Just in case you don't already know.

You probably attended a wedding last weekend, and all the time, you kept wondering why this bitchy, unpleasant, unattractive, nasty, choosy, ‘un-nice’ girl got herself a husband – a very handsome and well-to-do one at that! And there you are, a VERY NICE girl.

You still don’t have a serious relationship. Maybe you have one, but you really are not sure where it is headed. In fact, the last guy before this one slept in your house, drank your beer, ate your food and even spent your cash.

Yet he didn't even forewarn you before he vanished into thin air, probably in search of another prey.

(Not only Satan, even some bad guys are roaring like lions seeking whom to devour).
You follow beauty tips to the last letter. You are a one-time MISS UNIVERSITY. You've even subscribed to a fashion and lifestyle magazine where you read ‘10 STEPS TO GET A MAN, 5 BEAUTY TIPS TO MAKE HIM PROPOSE, 8 WAYS TO DRESS TO KNOCK HIM OFF HIS FEET’, blah blah blah.

You have mastered all the ‘man-catching skills’. You've even learnt how to cook Calabar, Ibo and Hausa delicacies, yet you’re one step forward, three steps backwards.

You are really not a bad girl. You seem very perfect. You are always agreeable and sweet. Yet, no one wants to put a ring on your finger. I know what you’re thinking.

You are saying, “You don’t know my story; you don’t know where I come from. My village people, my stepmother, etc. don’t want me to marry. A man of God even said I have a spirit husband.”

Well, I don’t have the power to disagree with you. But let me tell you a story I read somewhere.

One day, a woman was sweeping her sitting room and she found a baby frog beside the couch. Trust some women, she screamed, got help from neighbours, and they killed the poor thing. It didn’t stop there, she set it ablaze and buried the ashes, and then she called her pastor. With a Bible and a bottle of anointing oil in tow, the fiery pastor arrived at the ‘crime scene.’ But before he started blasting in dangerous tongues, he asked to see the back of the living-room window.

Lo and behold, there was a pond there brimming with frogs and toads. He simply checked the mosquito net of the window and there was a whole the size of blackberry phone. This is what he said: “I’m not saying the devil cannot manipulate frogs to attack you, but CHECK the pond and the net first.”

My question then is: what if your so-called ‘spirit husband’ has got himself another ‘wife’? What if now that you’re born-again, old things have indeed passed away? By every standard, you are a nice girl. But what is really wrong with ‘nice’ girls? Don’t get me wrong, there are nice, agreeable, perfect ladies out there who are happily married. Granted, there are no perfect situations in life. Don’t ask me how I know they are happy. Before I go further, let me be frank with you: all the men agreed that ‘nice’ girls are a boring lot.

They (we) all prefer ‘crazy’, interesting ones. We really don’t care whether you won the last MISS WORLD PAGEANT. When you appear too nice and too perfect, in our mind, we have already marked you as ‘hit and run’. We will try and get you to bed, ‘hit’ you and then ‘run’. Now, don’t go looking up the meaning of NICE and CRAZY in your dictionary. That’s not what I’m talking about. I will define a NICE girl and a CRAZY one, for the purpose of this research.

But first, let’s get this clear: I’m not saying if you read these findings here that you will get a man immediately; that Emeka or Lanre who left you last month will come back on bended knees, with a diamond ring begging for forgiveness. BUT if you ever follow these simple and easy guidelines to the last letter, you will get the best out of your relationship.

It will keep you in the driver’s seat and you will control the outcome of your relationship. No man will ever take you for granted any more. He will respect you and dear lady, you will have that man who understands why you need to be in his world, why he needs to treasure you and also see you as an asset; and a prize to keep; the real woman of his dreams!

So, why do we (men) prefer to date and marry seemingly ‘crazy’ girls, while we dump the ‘nice’ ones? Why can’t some ‘good’ or ‘nice’ girls maintain a stable relationship that will lead to the altar, if that’s what they truly want? Why are some ‘nice’ girls always used and dumped? Why can’t they have the man of their dreams? What mistakes are the ‘nice’ ladies making and how should they avoid them? Who is a ‘crazy’ girl?

I met a lady yesterday who talked about how she got yeast and 'some' toilet infections. She has been witnessing irritations and embarrassing itching on her private parts for the past few weeks. She also complained of a "very loose vagina" and an offensive vaginal odour which is taking its toll on her relationship with her boyfriend (I really don't blame the guy, especially as regards the odour. I goggled (http://women.webmd.com/guide/vaginal-infections) and i got the following, among other things: "Vaginal yeast infections are caused by a fungus called Candida albicans. This is also called candidiasis, genital candidiasis, or vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). A yeast infection can spread to other parts of the body including skin, mucous membranes, heart valves, esophagus, and other areas. It can cause life-threatening systemic infections mostly in people with weakened immune defenses (such as women who are pregnant and people who are HIV positive, have diabetes, or are taking steroids)." Someone recommended a product from Ghana. Any clues please?

The writer is a good story teller. I don't think it is a true-life story anyway.
