Uche2nna,

Agree with most of ur points, The only difference is in the nature of our generalisation. We agree that most 16 year olds have sex. And that they do it because they think they are in love. Some of them also do it for the heck of it.

If I have a sixteen year old, i am going to some day, i will really not want her to be slept with by anyone, in fact one of the things I must learn to come to terms with as a father of a girl is to imagine ANYBODY sleeping with my daughter, in and out of marriage, i still shudder when i think about it, lol, but then again, you dont have a choice in that matter.

- a 27 year old guy and a 16 year girl is a no no (i mostly was playing the devils advocate), its really taking advantage of the girl, most of the time.

- However, we all tend to just jump into the rivers of discuss with generalisations that doesnt quite cut it. And thats the point I tried to push.

- And in my opinion, there is no difference between 16 and 18, so for all of you who are asking the guy to wait till 18, maybe you are just trying to avoid a statutory rape jail term, because an 18 year is not a lot different from a sixteen in terms of naivety, or social and psychological difference.

so really naivety is not about how old u are, in which case, how would you know that this 16 year old is naive or not.

My drift is

- I agree that most 16 year olds are a no go for me,
- however you will find some that are really too old in their minds for their age, same way you would wish you never met some 25 year old when you think about how naive (and sometimes narrow minded they are),
- so if we agree that some older women (same as younger ladies) are naive, then we are saying really that its not good to generalise, and maybe this chap has found one girl who is older than her age,

my point really is, it differs from person to person, and for us to just rain fire and brimstones simply because of the age differential, then its not on for me.

You talk about love and lust, since when has sex become a matter of telling the difference between lust and love, its sex, you find out the difference later (as it turns out). And if you are still naive at your age (no offense, just an illustration), then it means that you should not be sleeping with anybody just yet.

About my sixteen year old daughter, i definitely wont like it, but i am not her, and she will do it any which way, and it does not get better for fathers even if the chap banging their daughter is her age or her junior, our fears are always different, and for me its not that she does not get slept with, just that she is not messed up into pregnancy, so i dont get myself hung up on it,

I try not to respond to threads like this so no one will say i am a shameless old man (and for 37, i do sometimes feel old), but really someone here in this forum said that we all act like saints, and we sometimes are unneccessarily critical,

so what if the girl is 16? most of us made the university at 15, had our first sex at way younger, agreed mostly to our mates or slight older or younger depending on your gender. And sorry to burst your bubble, most 16 year olds these days are not naive (anywhere in the world). Far from it, i think that went with last century.

But to tell the man to look for someone his age, i find that funny, I probably wont do a 16 year old because they are mostly not emotionally matured for me, however, quite a few of them are, and if this 16 year old is, then i have no problem with the guy wanting to make love to her. What are we against? The fact that the girl is 16, or the fact that the guy is 11 years older than her? I think we all just feel scandalized because we are mostly so old, so we see 16 as so young,

27 and 16, 31 and 20, 45 and 34, what about ojukwu and bianca? And we talk like someone making love to another one (even if she is younger) is such a terrible thing,

@poster
If you feel she can handle it, go ahead and do what comes naturally, otherwise, apply the brakes, you dont some emotionally challenged youngster to be spoiling matter for you in the future,

@every other person
crucify him, crucify him!!! i guess that's what i will get from now on, but hey, its okay.

kissing in public! see how a seemingly harmless topic has generated so much brouhaha,

if u are married, kiss your wife in public, the society will be better for it.

if u are not married, u can still kiss your mate in public, really as long as u are not going overboard like smooching her real bad, i think a lot of nigerians can tolerate that except of course if u try it in zamfara and environs. dont make it sound like nigeria is some saudi arabia,

i think the reason a lot of guys can't or don't kiss their babes (not wives) in public is because they got actions going on in other camps, why give yourself away to other ladies in the camp by kissing one in public, at least if they only just saw you together, you can lie that she is your friend's brother's sister's cousin or something that convoluted, but if you are kissing her in public, ki lo fe so?

As for the ladies, the same may apply, as in the men, too many guys in their lives and how do u know who is seeing u, but the monogamous ones amongst them, nothing wrong with showing affection,

Do you have houses (preferably detached bungalows) for sale in the estate?
you can send a mail to pholerray@yahoo.co.uk

where off stadium road, do u have pictures?

A few ladies still like people who abuse them? I think that the lady who posted this topic may go back to ED, and it wont be because she doesnt know that she should not.

All the sermon and advice in the whole word will not change that, I can only hope that she finds what she is looking for (its not curse o), and she indeed may be looking for love, acceptance, and whatever, and if she has to put up with a few slaps here and there to achieve that (asta la vista),

As for loving Emma all these while, its unbelievable, but u could love one guy and still sleep with another, i guess as humans we have capacity to compartmentalize, and not all we call LOVE is really LOVE.

PS: Why do people (adults for that matter) even beat/fight one another, it so funny!!!!

@Seun

Thanks,

Igbobeauty:

anelkamak:
Pholer,

Wetin be yanpan yanrin?

Anelkamak,

Yanpanyanrin, equals katakata,

multiple wahala, one leading to the other,

so if the elder sisters is unhappy, and blows the whistle, then her marriage is in trouble, and who knows if her husband had done her younger sister in the past, like there is a movie (not nigerian) about that, cant remember the name now.

Anyway, matter is closed. the guy has told the tale and moved on, wetin be our own sef, lol,

A Recap of some of what i have heard here.

U dont choose who u fall in love with, it just happens (so love is blind!)

The lady left you (while u were still actively dating) and married someone else,

The younger sister did not know you were dating her sister (how long did u date for, and were you really dating then or just sleeping with each other casually? Its hard to think the younger sis wouldnt hear about it, but shit happens)


Sleeping with two sisters! So what? at least not at the same time, lol,


My opinion (and it doenst have to be right, or accepted!)

Do you really love that younger sister? You apparently gave up too soon. If love is such a strong feeling, emotion that makes us say I will die for you, i think you packed it up too soon.

The elder sister still wants you! She is pathetic, not you! Afterall she pulled the plug on you and her. I think someone advised that you should be sure you guys took the right decision to let go of the relationship.

While it will hurt to find that your former shag partner now married ur sister, i think true love should not be jettisioned on the altar of emotions, plus everyone has a stake in making as little fuss as possible,

you know what they call yanpanyanrin in yoruba,

i joined nairaland a couple of months ago, but this will be my very first post.

By way of introduction, i am married, and i married at an age people consider to be young for a man, 28.

Why did i get married? same answer as why did i go to school, lol, you just know its something u want to do, ok, i was joking with this one.

But seriously, to all those who have expressed one opinion or the other, for or against, i don't think i can fault what u all said.

Marriage like most other things in life is a question of choice, and personal conviction. You want to do it, or u don't want to. People say to fulfil God's will but I think we know that Paul also said that you don't have to get married, if u are convinced u are better off being single,  so God's will really is what you and Him knows will work for you.

Next, people say you get married and its not what u think, too much heartache and all that, i think its the same as people who say, what if we serve God and we find out there is no hell fire, lol, we would have lost out of all the fun. Again, that is subjective. What gives u joy, what makes u complete, being married, staying single?

I think people should get married, to the right mates for them. How do i find who is right, u have your yardsticks, find a mate who scores 70% and go for it. The others, you either work it out, or get ready to tolerate it. Funny how people tolerate each other when they are friends, workmates and all, but once they get married they DONT want to,  you have to! simple.

We work hard at relationships, but we expect the work to stop once we get married. No, it just starts, and with the realization that you are in there for the rest of your life, you just need to do it well, and get the magic formula very early to save yourself heartaches.

Marraige really is more about completing yourself, and finding companionship when you are growing in life, i don't know how you get your own kicks, but going into an empty house at night doesnt do it for me, and think about when you can't chase girls or be chased by guys again, and are too old to enjoy marathon sex, what do u do? kids will grow up and leave you too, if you are lucky your mate doesnt die early, then you have a good life ahead.

Now, when u get married, you don't suddenly stop finding the other woman/guy attractive, or u don't suddenly just find that you can look at a pretty set of boobs and not feel a twang (by the way, the lady who raised the issue of big boobs/butties have a pretty good one, i think u shld be proud of it). You just tell yourself that hey, i am committed to this woman/man, and i should be responsible to that commitment, its still about choice, And when you fall into temptation, i pray we don't, get up and move on, marriage is a journey, not a destination.

I watched a movie once, a guy in a relationship finds he can't stay faithful to his fiancee, they have breakups and all of that. He confides in an older guy who is married, the guy replies (almost verbatim) " I drive a 2002 ford taurus, every year, ford changes the taurus model, every day i see someone with a more beautiful car, do i go around and want to drive every single one, no, i don't because i can't" Marriage is like that (or almost), u have to make a choice to stay in there.

So to the question, why do we have to marry, i'd say, its the best place to be if u work at having the right one. Do we all have to be married. Answer is No.

It takes hardwork to stay married. Having said that, if you choose not to get married, asta la vista,

Longest post I myself have read, but as i am new, it will take a few lessons in summary before i can get this down to manageable levels, so forgive me if i bore you.
