carefreewannabe: Where did I insult his family?

Is it how you deal with statistics? Take your time to answer this question.
If u feel your statement about His family was justified no problem

Is that how I deal with statistics?

This question is vague....

I asked what was the premise of your post as the examples cited support the hypothesis you were trying to counter

So explain your position

There's something wrong with this story

This Man must have done a great evil to his wife to cause her to do these acts
After all no sane woman will just have affair with her brother in law's son


Naija men change your ways oooo

Let me go before the witches n wizards start looking for me...

Ish

TerryCarr: personal opinion or historic bias
Basically subjective

A culture is great to you because you like it or were told it was great?

ba7man: I think if you can stir up various emotions in a girl,it helps in getting one out of the friendzone.

But its better one is emotionally detached in such situations.

Graviton2: I guess what meant was like when you tell a friend: Oh boy, you dey mad oh! Without actually meaning it — That kind of thing is normal in a Nigerian setting
Hmmm....you have a point... Using a smiley could have diffused the situation

Unfortunately we can only relate to textual input and Can't assign motives...

Nice idea though

TerryCarr: if white people say it is grin grin but to be real a culture is "great" IMO because it is part of how you are as a person.
what makes this

This thread is really all about the place

How can you term a dance as evidence of d greatness of a culture

All the while I've been waiting for intangibles which are even more important

That's the identity


So if I dance like a Zulu man ..I'm Zulu yay

The Zulus are great because of d exploits of their leaders, their wars with the Boers and wealth not a dance undecided

ba7man: I sure did...for a long while sef.

Told me "blah blah", I don't see you in that way...... "you're a very nice guy"....."I love talking to you"......"Lol"......."You make me laff"......etc.

But when I started purchasing condoms regularly, she started getting all stiff and jealous and asking "who is this girl"?? Or asking if I don't have anything better to do than sex nd such....my reply was "non of your business" and it pissed her off.

She got angry, ignored me and one faithful day, she asked me if I was going to be home on Sunday after Church........
OK....yes that is a FZ story now....
Cool

Fulaman198: The point of this thread as aforementioned is to make people aware that there are always reprecussions to abandoning native and traditional cultures. If cultures dissipate, you become like everyone else. You lose your uniqueness and the things that make culture special. It is about cultural awareness.
OK.

ba7man: There was this pretty girl that usually worked in her mum's Supermarket that had me in the friendzone.

She only started getting interested. And flirty with me when I started buying condoms regularly from there.

Some girls can be funny sha.

Fulaman198: There are many people on these forums calling their ancestral cultures barbaric... If that is true, what makes their culture more barbaric than cultures of today? Especially those that hail from the west.
You see..the argument is going from one side to the other..few points

Is it the people who are emotional you have an issue with or the fact that as a collective unit,our culture has not transpired to greatness


What's the point of this thread..is it a rant or a call to renaissance

Just a caveat

For those who are aiming for 67 points ensure your experience and reference letters are ironclad

Points will be recalculated and stories abound of people who initially had 67/68 but whose points were reduced to less and subsequently disqualified

Carefreewannabe

You say you like being objective

Insulting his family is not

Let's discuss your post

Michael Lewis has done a series of three studies in the U.K., where the same trend in interracial marriages exists as in the U.S. All three show higher ratings of attractiveness for black men compared to white, and in the third, both over asian men. In all three as well, white women are rated more attractive than black women, and, in the last study, in which asian women are included, they are rated the most attractive. In one study mixed race male faces were rated intermediate to black and white male faces, but in another, were rated more highly (sources: 1,2,3). The studies, however, involve fairly small numbers of students, between 10 and 20 women rating men, and a similar number for men rating women.

A survey of over 2,500 whites asked which race they found most physically attractive, and found that overall 62.7% of women and 48.2% of men were most physically attracted to other whites, much of the rest claimed no preference, 12% of men and 3% of women found asians most attractive, and 1.5% of men and 1.9% of women found blacks most attractive. Political view had a very noticeable effect.
Conclusion:
There is a marginal preference for black men over black women in the survey sample YOU posted

.4 percent

The black female was the least 1.5%

In another study, asian males were rated as least attractive, including by asian women, although asian men also rated asian women as less attractive than whites and hispanics. Black women were rated as the least attractive. White and asian women gave lower ratings of attractiveness to black men.

The data is not conclusive, but given the high sex-disparity in interracial marriages, it is plausible that there might be some difference.

If you fail to deal with the data appropriately, which you actually already have but I am giving you one more chance, you will stop to use any research to back up your oppressive world view.
The third research says the same thing
And puts a caveat about inconclusiveness which cannot be quantified in the research.


These 3 surveys support TV01's assertion

What were you trying to point out or is there something missed out.

kingston277: We don't like change for the sake of copying some random group of people for acceptance. We only want objective change, aka real enlightenment, that only seeks to reform cultural values and practices through proper, unbiased evaluation and not ethnocentric views which is what is destroying Nigeria.
Not sure u been following the discussion



I asked a question n no one has answered

At what point is the change of the sub components can a culture be deemed changed
