"instinctively"...incase u don't understand that word, it means doing something without thinking, cos u are so used to doing things that way, such that such character is almost considered a reflex action.........I'm just trying to educate u here...what is bad is bad and should be condemned.
So the woman's own son who didn't "instinctively" take the broom from his own mother to sweep, didn't do a bad thing, instead it is the visitor who acted as her own son did that did bad?. undecided

The woman was right in condemning the bad-ness of another person's child, without realizing the bad-ness in her own son whom she raised? undecided

It is a "test" which her own son obviously failed but never mind since it was blindly targeted at another man's child and so her son's failure of the same test should be ignored?. undecided

So people don't clean at all when guests are around meaning it was OK for the son to disrespect his mother in front of a guest?. undecided

It beats my imagination because these men will never meet half the standards they set for women. And I am not capping! They want virgins, but ain't virgins. They want a woman who can cook, clean, be a mistress in the bedroom and also a top-performing manager at work like Alakija, while they are under performers.

They can't meet half of what they set.
this is a man’s world and remember men call the shot not the women. Men marry women into their own homes not the other way round.
Men pay to marry a woman and so has the power to set rules in his home. If you cannot meet them then no marriage simple

until women start paying groom price to marry men, they should/must continue to meet the rules set by men

don't quote me again, u obviously lack understanding....we men like to observe little things in our women...I kid u not, if that guy had come with a casual friend,he would have collected the broom from his mom,but here,he brought his wife to be home....I'm sure he just wanted to observe something....u are not a man so u will not understand....same thing applies to guys,there at times u as a woman need to test for certain trait in your man... opportunity will come and u will capitalize on such to test your man...how would u feel when u bring your man home,and u observe he's been staring lustfully at your kid sis, at that point it might look insignificant,but I tell u not, such observation is essential......only intelligent ppl make do with every opportunity to observe and learn one or two things.....young woman be wise......don't quote me again, u really lack understanding..

These nigerian single ladies are at work again

No man will set a standard for you if you can just do yourself a Favour to get a job and pay your own bills and be successful


That’s why many of you are single. Even a rich man does not want liabilities not to talk of a broke man. You need to put yourself in situations where a man will respect you.

99 percent of you ladies out there are finesse your aim is to always get a ready made man and wanting to also dominate the man

I am angry because men are hypocritical most times. They can't take what they dish out! So, why won't I sound angry? I'm pained for the female gender.
hypocritical you say? A man that pays your parents to take you to his house has every right to set rules and standards you must follow. If you want it the other way, go to his house pay his parents and marry him to your house only then you too will set rules.
This is man’s world

I saw this post on Facebook and it makes me question myself asking what "Nigerian men want". It irks me so bad.

Women have been debased to NOTHING that a chore has become a yardstick in choosing a wife. I keep asking myself if God did not make a mistake to have given the headship to them from the beginning or he should not have removed a rib to create a woman goes both ways at least less drammer for man..

And now, I'll reiterate this here. I also don't care about the reactions it brings. It's not my business how you feel but I must say this to men- DO NOT SET UNNECESSARY STANDARDS THAT YOU WON'T MEET. Read that again. you might want to practice what you preach by not replying every quote. Would he have washed the girl's father's or mother's clothes if turns were switched? NO. Many men here won't either. It degrades them after all. ONLY women should cower and wash g-pee tanks because they want to marry. Marriage only favours the women after all. It's the women who do these things I blame. You don't rate yourselves.

If you try this with me, I'll FAIL your test woefully. It is the audacity to make this a post for me. They make marriage seem so unpalatable and dramatic. only people with inflated egos think like this

Manners should tell you that you do not sweep when a guest is around. like it was planed by both him and his mother...presummtious to say the least...It is ABSOLUTELY rude and that shows that you do not even respect me enough to have kept your abode neat before my arrival. And that to me, is a RED FLAG!

It also tells me that "I am not welcome in your abode". I am immensely glad that the girl in the story dodged a bullet. Good riddance. the guy dodged a bullet as well...thanks to his mum

Your perspective is influenced by the cultural setting you grew up or has adapted much to.
African culture setup and approach isn't the same as the whites cultural setup.

As an intending wife or even girlfriend, it costs nothing to act like you really want to take the broom. You know quite well, the woman was not even going to give her the broom because she is a guest.

complexities of our contemporary society doesn't mean some things aren't still facts. Helping your mum's boyfriend isn't a big deal. If it was someone you didn't know, you'll still help them without expecting anything back

2. Why should an intending wife or girlfriend want to take the broom when her own son does not take it from his own mother? undecided

3. If a son feels it is beneath him to help his own mother with chores, why should an outsider come in to do such instead? undecided
