Romance / Re: I'm Too Soft Hearted, How Can I Become Very Wicked by pansophist(m): 7:46pm On Sep 24

Maybe not be wicked, but to "integrate your shadow" in Jungian term, to become whole. Your shadow is the dark part of you, and to be well-grounded, you must make it a part of you.

If you fail to integrate your shadow, you'll only have light in you, and people will tap from it, abuse it until you loose your light and only have darkness.

You'll become dangerous to yourself and to the world, bitter and nihilistic. You don't want to be that guy. There is a reason why most of the dangerous people you'll meet comes from broken home.

They were probably neglected, not shown love, abused until they became walking demons. They can kill for fun, and it won't create a dent in their conscience. Such people exist, and if you haven't met them, you're lucky.

So how do you integrate your shadows? To avoid writing a very long epistle, just learn to do the right thing.

By doing the right thing, you are not a people pleaser. Be good, but refuse to be used. If saying NO is the right response, say it, if they get angry, that's their problem.

Help people without any expectation, and understand that you're the only one that can save yourself. Speak your mind, and stand by your words.

You must have came across widelife scene where a lion is chasing a prey, and suddenly, the prey stopped, turned around, faced the lion, and the lion ran away.

If you have a good heart and have been betrayed a lot, it will harden you. You will refuse to be humiliated anymore, and just stop letting people take you for granted.

It will come no matter how hard it is to say no to people. But to be well grounded, you must be independent. People pleaser are mostly those that need help. They displease themselves because they hope it will get them favour.

Don't be that guy. Be self reliant, judge people by their actions, and if they act in a way that contradicts your sense of morals, then treat them accordingly.

ruggedtimi:
And she had to replace parents with "payment"...But guys dey still straight up say "can you be my girlfriend"?

Why do most girls feel blocking someone is painful.

Blocking a man gives them a false sense of power, and a perfect way to run from accountability and Self-reflection.

If they feel a certain way, then it doesn't matter how valid a man's point is and if she is wrong, they just hate he makes them feel that way.

Women like that thinks being high class is the eyelashes, bbl and Komkom shoe they wear complemented with their dirty attitude, when in reality, class is all about your character.

Women like that should not get the gentleman treatment. Give them tout treatment, until hopefully they realise that life has its balances.

You cant treat people like shit and expect them to accept it. Relationship is not an orphanage home. Hopefully it's not too late when she change, because she might have missed good men.

Romance / Re: The Man That Begged For My Number Last Month Has Not Message Me till now by pansophist(m): 10:36am On Sep 23

Did he actually "begged" for your number? Lol.

Like say your number na job, or presidential nomination to be begged for.

Anyways, some men do ask for number for the thrill of it. Also, a subset of men prefer that the lady show interest since she has his number, then he can take it forward.

such men understands that chasing women is an exercise in futility because if she likes you, it will feel so seamless and without stress.

They also don't know the calibre and amount of men you're comparing him against, so no point to humiliate himself with showering her with attention when she hasn't even played her own part.

Women choose men, and such men won't force you to choose them. They let nature takes its natural course, and they accept if you choose other men in your options.

The idea that playing hard-to-get makes a man keep chasing is a rule that works for men that don't want to give anything, but take something.

A man that brings commitment, provision, protection and leadership won't be begging or pursuing a woman when he is a figure of light. A representation of God in her life.

An evolved good man will show signs, with the hope she respond, and if she ain't responding, he just cut off. Men's Intentionality comes with interest from her firstly.

But since you called and he didn't return your call, then let him go. Don't go and suffer unnecessarily because you won't accept reality by justifying his disinterest with something palatable to your feelings.

Delusion has a price, and the price is avoidable suffering. Move on.

Putin recently signed a new immigration decree, that gives permanent residency to citizens of enemy countries who are tired of the woke bullshit and degradation of Western cultural values.

https://newtimes.ru/articles/detail/248464

If these western citizens respect Russian culture, will integrate and have no criminal records, they will be welcome in russia with a straight path to citizenship.

Nigeria is not an enemy state of Russia, and also not considered a country with an fallen culture, so it's not on that list. I imagine if nigeria is, millions of Nigerians will move to Russia for good. grin

Romance / Re: Who Is Your Favorite Philosopher And Why? by pansophist(m): 8:31pm On Sep 22

My favourite philosopher have to be Arthur Schopenhauer.

The guy paints a dark picture of life that even the most brutal wide life documentary or war can't describe.

I personally think every man passing through a hard time should read his book, particularly his 'The world as will and representation" book.

Because in the midst of our sorrows, we tend to think that suffering is uniquely our thing, instead of the simple fact that it's universal and even if you win in life, it's still a sorrowful existence.

His works are forsaking and liberating at the same time. Hence I've come to have no issues with delusion because that seems to the thing that keeps many of us sane, in this sorrowful world.

So yeah. Arthur is my favorite. His works shapes the core of how I see the world. Even Nietzsche learnt from his works.

EducatedMind369:

Good day. I have a question to ask: how do I become a attractive as an undergrad with limited financial resources? I'm a male by the way.

Do I just leave that aspect of my life till later in the future, when I might have the means?

Attraction has everything to do with your body symmetry.

If you're at least average heighted, you can achieve attractiveness if you can train your body to look good. It's mostly loosing fat and gaining muscles if you don't have.

You can't leave it for later because you won't live forever. It's about adjusting your lifestyle and achieve the result on-the-go.

The world is shallow place, and your attractiveness will open doors for you. Your helper can come from any angle, so you must not be your own enemy, by getting in the way of your progress.

So sharpen your edges, from your character to your appearance, and it can only get better from there. There are only upsides to it.

Tsarbomba:
Hypothetical: If somehow humans would achieve immortality (both defeating aging, disease and let's say gunshot wounds and such) would life be any less meaningful?

Just curious about people's answers.

Yes. Life will become less meaningful.

Just as sand isn't valued compared to let's say gold, immortality will make life less valuable.

When there is only birth and living forever, without death and living shortly, there is no mourning for the dead, and no value for life.

Threatening someone with prison is meaningless because they will be out and live forever anyways. Concepts like procrastination, intentionality, and living uprightly won't exist.

The very essence of mortality and fleeting time gives meaning to all these things.

maak400:
I believe Putin knows that he must respond decisively by attacking NATO allies if Ukraine fire those missiles deep into Russia. Putin already said they will respond if Ukraine fire those western supplied missiles.

I saw BRICS news on Twitter where China also said they will support Russia if the war escalates, so we are potentially looking at WW3.

My thinking is that Putin will likely retaliate against NATO using nuclear weapons, because using conventional missiles may not be as effective to produce the needed impact.

The whole world will be badly affected if all the parties do not begin to de-escalate now.

The way I see China entering the war is if the war transitions into a Nato versus Russia thingy. It's will be a golden opportunity for China to reunify Taiwan, when Nato hands are tied with Russia.

Then if the US wants to fight and cause trouble for China, then it would be the eastern Bloc versus the Western bloc. Russia and China will go all in and face their common enemy.

This is the reality the West do not want, but it's the ultimate end goal if they enter a war directly with Russia. China would want to support Russia, but needs a legitimate reason to do so.

Although China sells the image of a moral, benevolent power, they know how to play the geopolitical card. They know that Russia must not fall, and they must support Russia.

jjj37:

Very nice stimulating teaser bro.. been awhile someone provoke the kind of intelligent discourse you've raised above. My take on this is that, like a chess game, there's always a cost for every expensive moves, when decisions are not carefully thought out., there's almost certainly a fallout reaction/repercussions. however the side with skills will always win. And in this case we all know if the decisions to strike deeper by the ukros are made, the immediate fallout may be gravier for those involved depending on the available moves left in the other camp on play. But one thing is certain, if that should happen, we may be seeing a move from the smo to a full blown war and the world offcourse would've started it's journey into a new phase which the next generation would only read about in history books.. happy sun all.

Exactly, and this is a future I don't want to happen.

Just in case someone is wondering why Russia is buying weapons from Iran and North Korea, the answer is simple.

Russia is hiding it's true strength and capabilities. If your enemies knows all the weapons in your arsenal, then they can plan and counter it easily.

Just like how Russia recovered thousands of weapons from tanks to ammunition given to Ukraine, these weapons would be dismembered and studied, to understand the capabilities of nato.

So the trick is to never allow the enemy ro know your strength, or guess it through captured weapons. Russia has deadlier weapons the world does not know about.

There are lots of cities in Russia bigger than Lagos, that does not appear on the map. These are military research centers and bases that are homes to generation of weapons that the world never know about.

Every new day brings new evidence favoring hawkish positions on the war.

Russia should sink ships belonging to any of the tiny NATO countries. Strike convoys delivering weapons in Poland and Romania.
They have to create a new escalatory ladder.

If the West does not care about retaliation by allowing long-range strikes in Russia, Putin should start striking NATO countries on the periphery who are part of the Ukrainian military supply chain.

Trigger Article 5 and let us see whether Biden and Harris will call for a draft 40 days to an election.

-Lord

If the theater of war is only in Europe, then the US has nothing to loose.

Lavrov has repeatedly warned that if the US thinks that the American mainland will be excluded from the theater of war, that they are sorely mistaking.

And it's true. As far as I am concern, nato is one giant scam. All the nato members are just layers upon layers of sacrificial lamb, protecting the main boss, the US.

So if Russia strike supply chain within its periphery, the main boss is not hurt, and though unspoken, it would be to fight till the last Romanian, the last polish, or the last European.

Everything can be and will be sacrificed for US hegemony. I mean, who in his right senses thinks country like Macedonia or Croatia needs to be in Nato?

So yeah, Lavrov was right. The war must involve US mainland otherwise the US will use all their lambs to soaked up all the blow Russia will throw, until Russia is too exhausted to fight.

The old military trick of pitting two tigers to fight to death, then kill the winning tiger who is probably already too weak to kill a rat.

Me I don't do talking stage o.

I just think talking stage happens mostly when someone is not into you and is assessing your matter.

When two people are into each other, dating or courting will just naturally happen. There will be no impediment to transition into the next stage.

You guys will feel so overwhelmed with the idea of each other, that the relationship will naturally be on speed, like a truck rolling off a cliff, and all you guys can do is slow it down.

Under Max three months, most discussions would have been discussed. From numbers of kids, genotype, future plans, and they will probably be the person you mostly chat with.

Relationship no hard. Na you dey do am with person wey no send you.

The person come dey use big English and being moral to give you the impression say you catch better person, when in reality, he/she nack one person same day because attraction was mutual.

Atleast, if you can't date someone, courtesy demands you turn him down in a polite way but since they thought the man won't be anything in life and have rubbished him, they careless about his feelings or what he will pass through.
14 years later after altering those words to me, God turned my life around and I became better.
She saw me in a ride and called my line to meet me. I guess it was the open roof convertible car that attracted her.
Met her later and she started telling me how she had a marriage divorce less than 2 years because she was literally feeding the man.
Since she love flashy things, the guy deceived her into relationship by using borrow borrow car from friends and apartment of a family unknown to her.
Na when she enter marriage eye clear.
She got feed up of feeding him after a year filled with quarrels and fightings.
Long story short, she wanted us to start dating.

I'm wondering what would be Russia's response if Ukraine strike deep into Russian territory with long range weapons supplied and coordinated by Nato.

As it seems now, the West has written Ukraine off as a collateral damage. Ukraine's only usefulness is to harm Russia as much as possible.

So Russia's retaliation on Ukraine doesn't hurt the West whatsoever. Ukraine is the ultimate shield to western aggression.

I also wonder if supplying long range weapons to western adversaries is a good move either. Russia should accept that it's a war between nato and them. And they have to pull all gloves off and go all in.

The west strategy is to test the redline of Russia, and if it's a bluff, then they will increase their aggression. Until it gets to a point where striking Russia nuclear facilities becomes a norm, because Russia will not dare attack them directly.

If you're Putin, what will you do now? Remember, you must hurt the puppeteer, not the puppet.

She should try to loose weight, after that, she should make sure she earning, which will increase her chance of finding a husband. No sane man will marry an unemployed lady with three kids from three different men who is fat and broke.

Luck and miracle exist, but for that to happen, she must play to her strength, and not negotiate from a position of weakness. Being overweight is weakness, being broke is weakness, and not wanting another child will probably be a dealbreaker for most men.

No one should be denied the beauty of experiencing love. Good luck to her.

Bwilliam:
She asked what would I do if a woman says no sex before marriage, and after laughing for like 5 mins, I answered that the only natural follow up to that proposal is to ask the woman if she was a virgin.
She just stylishly changed the subject.

Most women try to lay "Pussy-traps" in an effort to raise their value, and trick gullible men into thinking they've met a decent young damsel who has had a rough life, and who just need a captain Save-A-Hoe to rescue her
Guys, be careful, the most common trap is to not give you any pussy. They'll starve you, make you wait and work for a pussy that they have given to other guys for a packet of indomie..not the indomie that cost 350 now, the one that cost 35 naira back then.
Aft

They dont usually like the guy. Sexual tension is very hard to surpress, but easy if you dont find someone attractive. Most men for example can be in the same room with a fat naked woman and wont move at all, or be disgusted.

So when a lady is bringing the no sex before marriage vibe, she is probably seeing him as a retirement plan, to hold down, while she enjoy herself with other men who wont marry her.

If a girl has suggested that, even if she changed, just ignore henceforth. You will most likely starve sexually in marriage. Except in cases where she probably have repented, and disgusted about her past lifestyle, and hope you can understand.

Men dont mind waiting to have sex after marriage, but men dont like to hear that from a woman who has slept with other guys for nothing, but me that will marry you, you are giving me conditions.
