RomanceTop 10 Girl Code Rules by Oises(op): 11:30am On Sep 20, 2014
Gentlemen, feel free to ignore this one unless of course you want to take a sneak peek into “girl world,” and while I can promise that you may find some of it interesting, I cannot promise that you won’t leave scared.
Ladies, we need to have a chat about girl code. Of course, girl code comes with a long set of both written and unwritten rules, but I think some rules are more important than others, so I insist that we go over the top 10 girl code rules just to make sure we’re all keeping in line, and having each others’backs because Lord knows, we could use it.
1. No hating on other women that you don’t know:
Ladies, why do we do this? There is no reason to talk badly about a girl that you saw across the room, no reason at all. She is not trying to steal your friends, or your man, or your job, she’s doing her own thing, now walk over, introduce yourself and the two of you could be BFFs in no time. Or just mind your business and leave her alone.
2. No hating on other women’s success:
That’s another thing ladies, we need to stop treating success—whether it’s at work or in relationships—as if it is a zero-sum game. There is plenty of room for all of us on this earth and even when we compete against each other for the same thing, let’s keep it classy, and should we lose, endure it gracefully.
3. Figure out your group’s “man rules” before sh*t happens:
Some things have to be taken for granted, such as you need permission to date a friend’s ex or former interest—I know I don’t need to remind any of you of this. Other than that, I have seen too many friendships fall apart because of a guy so you and your circle of friends need to figure out the rules. Is it a free for all if you like the same guy? Does whoever yells “dibs” first get to be the one who gets the first approach? Figure it out before shit happens.
4. Presence is required if a friend has been dumped.
Unless you are deathly sick or are about to win the 10 million naira on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?,  if your friend has been dumped, you have to be there. If you’re a really good friend, you’ll be there with pizza and wine.
5. If your friend is recently dumped, rejected, or deemed legitimately miserable for any reason, they get a weekend of doing whatever they want with you as the babysitter.
I’m not saying you should let your friend commit any crimes but you have to understand that they’re going through a hard time and just need to release. So suck it up, and let them do just that.
6. Honesty is the best policy for, “How do I look?”
Sometimes when I see some outfits, I wonder whose friends let them walk out like that. This is where I have to give cheers to my girls—they would never let me leave the house looking like a fashion victim. Tell the truth ladies, tell the truth.
7. Girls shall ALWAYS help other girls escape unwanted attention from guys.
This can be as simple as dancing with another girl at a club or as difficult as pretending to be her friend in a public place (totally done that, by the way), in order for her to escape. Most of the time, it won’t cost you anything but a minute so please let’s help each other out because some guys unfortunately can’t get a clue.
8. If a girl looks intoxicated and looks like she needs a friend, be her friend: While the easy route is to point, be judgmental, and tell yourself that it’s not your problem, I am asking at the very least that you go up to her and ask, “Are you okay?” People in this state of mind can easily be taken advantage of in the worst way and that one question can change that possibility. This is the one situation where you are your sister’s keeper.
9. When required, be a wingwoman.
I know it sucks sometimes because you might not be remotely interested in talking to any of the friends of your girlfriend’s crush, love interest, or whatever, but come on, take one for the team. If they hit it off, your wingwoman services will probably not even be needed for a long time, and if they don’t, well, you and your friend can retreat from that crowd soon.
10. “That Time Of The Month” Sympathies.
Whether it’s offering a stranger a tampon or being sensitive to a friend during her time of the month if she needs it, the golden rule shall be exercised to the fullest extent in this area.
Nairaland GeneralThe 12 People You'll See At Your School Reunion. by Oises(op): 7:16am On Sep 13, 2014
There's a reason you didn't stay in touch with all your classmates.
1. The dude that's moderately successful and needs to rub it in everyone's face now.This guy makes a point to bring up his 401(k) and dropping thousands of dollars on his vacation. You get the feeling he's not so much "well off" as he is "in debt," but you're too polite to say anything.
2. That friend you thought was going to be a rocket scientist but is now a waitress.You're surprised to find out that genius friend of yours you lost touch with isn't running her own company. Awkward small talk ensues after you walk up to her and open with, "Heyyy, so are you a billionaire yet?" and find out she's working way, way, way below her potential.
3. The couple that is way too into being a mom and dad.What have they been up to the last 10 years? Just having kids. Taking pictures of kids. Talking about their kids. Looking at their kids. Are you going to have kids soon? Their kids and your imaginary future kids could have play dates.
4. Your old friend who has a job so cool that you're now rethinking all your life choices.One of your old classmates is making six figures a year as a DJ/snowboarder/actress and constantly going to Ibiza and movie premieres, and you remember when she was known as "the girl who ate paste." You wonder what you did wrong in your life tonotget that life.
5. That guy who used to be known for jumping off the roof and setting fires in class who's now an accountant.This guy used to drop acid during school hours. Now he's wearing a brown suit and mustard-colored shirt to the reunion and you're trying to talk about the good old days and he's just like, "Have you thought about getting someone to file your taxes this year?" This guy apparently fit his entire allotment of fun into junior and senior years of high school.
6. The alcoholic.This person somehow got ahold of a bunch of drink tokens and now they're slurring their words and telling you about their life plans and you're just like, "…."
7. The familiar face whose name you can't remember.You've just spent an hour reminiscing about all the good times the two of you used to have. They've said your name four times. You don't remember these good times or their names, and no one is coming over to bail you out.
8. The person it takes you way too long to realize is there with their same-sex partner.For some reason, you didn't pick up on the signals, and now you're kicking yourself after having said, "So you two are really good friends, huh?"
9. The classmate who is trying to get you to buy in to their pyramid scheme."You gotta get on board with this. We're making money hand over fist." "Have you made money?" "Well, no, not yet, but … you gotta give it time."
10. The teacher who might be hitting on you.Why are they here? Are they being friendly? Were they always this creepy and you just never realized?
11. Your actual friends who you've stayed in touch with.This is your refuge of normalcy during this night. They're there for you after the small talk gets too awkward.
12. John Cusack inGrosse Point Blank.Unless you actually went to school with John Cusack, this isn't literal, but there's always that one person who disappeared for years and no one knows what they've been up to. Everyone is too scared to ask.
Nairaland General15 Things You Should Never Say To An Introvert by Oises(op): 2:06pm On Sep 12, 2014
1. "You're so quiet.": I know. Society makes me feel self-conscious enough about this already; do you really have to point it out as though it's a flaw? I just speak when I have something of value to say.
2. "You just don't have a warm personality." Or: "So-and-so is warm. You can learn from her.": It takes some of us a while to open up to people. Just because it's not in my nature to be BFFs with everyone as soon as I meet them, that doesn't mean I'm not interested in getting to know people.
3. "You never speak up around my friends/parents/[other group of people who is relatively new to your life].": Actually, I do, I just only do so when I have something to say or after I feel like I've had time to connect with new people.
4. "My friends think you don't like them.": I like your friends, I just don't click with them as well as you since I've only just met them.
5. "Don't be so shy.": There's nothing wrong with being shy! If it doesn't interfere with my ability to get things done, it's not something that should concern you.
6. "Why don't you smile more?": Because when people order you to smile, like you're a child, it doesn't make them want to smile more?
7. "I know you don't like big group gatherings, BUT...": Actually, I'm fine with big group gatherings, I just feel uncomfortable when people go out of their way to point out what they seem to think is a personality deficit.
8. "When I first met you, I thought you were a bitch.": Funny, now I kind of think the same of you.
9. "You come across as mean because you rarely talk.": Silence is not the same thing as nastiness. Give me time to get to know you, and I will open up and be my warm, sparkly self, and I will have your back whenever you need me.
10. "Don't be so serious all the time.": I'm not serious, I just like to take in what's going on around me before I react to it.
11. "What's wrong? Are you sure nothing's wrong? You can tell me if something is wrong! It seems like something's wrong?": The only thing that's wrong is I haven't had time to be alone with my thoughts in a while. But thank you for your concern!
12. "Why do you hate people?": I don't hate people. I just like getting to know people over a period of time and tend not to click with people instantly, but that doesn't mean I won't click with them in the near future.
13. "Don't you want to get out of the house?": When I have a stack of magazines here to read to a soothing Corinne Bailey Rae CD playing? Nope.
14. "Live a little!": Actually, I do, I just don't talk about it on social media or around other people all the time.
15. "Why can't you make more of an effort when you meet new people?": I do make an effort, it's just more subtle and may happen more gradually than how you interact with people
