Someborry please call an ambulance, laughter want to hyperventilate me here grin grin

Ishi fear God nii grin. Romance novels ehn, e no go better for those things.

Shaa, I'll say your list went through a slight metamorphosis. Didn't crash drastically like mine did. And intelligence is something I would never have compromised. Sapiosexuality is really not a myth as most people think. I don't think I can imagine living with someone whom I can't pick brains with.
Nothing too drastic. Just a reformation.

Don't let anyone rush you. Take your time to be friends first so you don't wake up one day and realise the person you're sharing your home with is a total stranger. If he can't wait then he can come kiss your made in Nigeria ass.
Ariza, heed Ishi's word. Society shaa no dey try. That's exactly why many people are unhappy today. Connect connect marriages are not bad per se, but rushing into them without really knowing your partner can be catastrophic. Babe, take time to get to know him. Build friendship. You're a reasonable woman. Don't be infatuated by promises of emigration to wherever he is or whatever he has. Hold the bigger picture in sight and if things don't check out, better move on with your life.

I just know deep in my heart that you'll be fine.

Sapiosexuality is not a myth. There's something very sexy about a man who can hold his own in a conversation without boring you to tears. I once dated one very unintelligent fellow some years back before fleeing. When I talked about international politics he would stare at me blankly, forcing me to stutter to a stop. I can almost swear a couple of brain cells atrophied during my brief dalliance with the young man.

That was when I knew I couldn't compromise on the quality of grey matter. Very handsome fellow but dumb as fvck. What was i thinking??! embarassed
You were thinking fine kids na smiley.

Bedroom talks are a real charm. Nothing like coming down from cloud 9 and engaging in a very deep but weak-voiced conversation about everything from ancient history to Brexit grin

Sapio way abeg.

Please, I just want to beg you in the name of God or whatever you serve, dont rush into this decision. Give it a whole lot of time and close watch. Like you know very well a lot of nigerians that go abroad overstay and have issue with papers and in a bid to get a permanent residency or even green card they marry a foreign woman on contract and then come home to marry the nigerian lady. Some of them Marry the nigerian lady keep her here and come home once a year to impregnate her while they keep their white wives abroad. Please before making your decision to marry him, let him arrange a visitor's visa for you to visit him there and see how he lives his life, what he does, if he stays alone, if he has a family there etc and after your introduction, let him arrange a permanent visa for you. Please do not make the mistake of getting pregnant for him till you get married and he takes you over there otherwise you may have just wasted your youth. I've given you my two cents from repetitive experiences.
Ariza:
For me, it has always been Attraction over every other things. Even when I was young I only flowed with feelings, right or wrong I cared less. I see, love and explore and trying to win my love or attention has never worked for me.
I never had neither do I have standards up till now grin .My eyes do the feasting for me. Just have sense like Poco would say and be available (I like my men close )we are good to go.
Due to the economic situation and the fact that children may be coming in , I give little consideration to financial aspect, even at that the ready made man does not freak me rather I find it difficult to come in terms with them.

However of recent, events in my life has changed a lot and life is throwing at me something entirely different. Not the regular way of meeting, not the regular form of attraction, he's made, in another country and very ready to settle down. Honestly, I'm scared! And not sure if to go for it or not. He is a Nice guy no doubt but not sure if I'm ready to change the norm. I'm traditional, I believe in building things from friendship and all but this is just so different. Advise me Sisters. cry

My list was Simple

Tall (90% of the men in my family are very tall,I did not want them to bully my guy with height )

Catholic ( ohhh I am a staunch Catholic girl )

Not a spirikoko church boy (I can't come and be doing vigil to vigil ,for what naaahhhh)

Intelligent and smart (that is the only way any guy can match up to me,I have always been street smart )

Dark (I have NEVER dated a light complexion guy,we can't be competing for freshness/creams when we step out)


The only thing that has changed from the above list is that I am not so keen about a tall guy anymore .Ask me what happened ? Hmmmmmmmm after enjoying standing sex with a guy about the same height with me dammmmmmm what the hell do I need a tall guy for .Standing sex is bea

Lol, I never had those high expectations. I was just okay with love. I always loved them sensible, I have a very soft spot for engineers and a softer one for people in IT, good-looking, respectful...etc, nothing extraordinary.

I wasn't into romantic books, neither did I watch such movies or even listen to love songs. Found them predictable. grin

Now that I am older, my physical and character expectations in a man is very much the same- but the financial part is a whole lot strategic. Don't tell me you love me or have potentials, Jesus loves me too. So, I need to see how he is going to compliment me. I also need him to have some money. We would meet halfway.

Every man requires a level of submission/respect from his wife. If I am going to be doing that, it has to be worth it. wink

The days of "what are you wearing?" and "shey you will not come and know my place" is long gone.

now that you are older "what are you wearing?" and "shey you will not come and know my place" is long gone.
now i believe ladies maturity come at old age.

Sister computergeek, to be sincerely honest...the below was my list when I was younger and still had stars in my eyes.

Tall
Dark
Handsome
Stinkingly rich
Muscular
Dick_ must be the size of orobo Pepsi bottle (make me walk like a duck, honey) grin grin
More intelligent than I am.
A lover of arts
A man on fire for God.

I read romance novels briefly in my teens but I abandoned them because I could not connect with them. Why does the hero always have to be handsome? Is love meant for only handsome people? I would read M&B, and then after reading look round and still see the same strong, sun hardened faces of my Nigerian brothers who didn't have the faintest idea about chivalry. Chivalry is dead. Bleh. Romance novels fill your head with nonsense.


And then I grew up! cheesy With maturity comes a more realistic worldview. Many times God doesn't give us want we want but what we need. He works in mysterious ways and he knows what will benefit us, even when we are crying and tearing our hair and demanding...may, begging for the perfect man. He doesn't give us the perfect man; he gives us the man who is perfect for us.

Nature strives for balance, which is why opposites attract. That's why introverts attract extroverts. Garrulous people attract taciturn people, hot tempered folks cope best with cool as ice people. That's why you must always factor the Maker of All Creation itself when choosing a partner, and ultimately, allow Him to select for you. TELL HIM THAT YOU ARE GIVING HIM PERMISSION TO LET HIS PERFECT WILL BE DONE.


With maturity my list evolved to-

God fearing. A man on fire for God.

Comfortable (who stinking rich epp? grin) I have a well paying job, Mr Right must have one too.

Intelligent. No compromise on that one. God help you your kids take after your less than intelligent partner. You will spend all your money on lesson teachers.

Must be a tiger in za oza room. The size of his jabulani didn't seem so important anymore, as long as it worked well and could make me purrrrr like a satisfied pussy...cat grin

One who complemented me in every way amd would take me as his lover, companion and best friend.

That definitely made more sense than big dicked, muscular fellows who would probably end up losing all those toned muscles, replacing them with Uber flabs, and then become unattractive to me in middle age.

Thanks God Sey You don get maturity and understand life.

I can't say yet. I'm still growing, but I know it will evolve in time to come. For better or for worse is what I'm not sure about.

What's very consequential to me right now is a man who's highly intelligent (I'm very sapiosexual). It trips me to my feet when a man can engage me in an intelligent discourse.

* Have a great sense of responsibility (this isn't dependent on how rich he is. A man could be rich and be disinterested in your affairs).

* Love God. He should have a good relationship with God. I can't stress on this too much.

* Homely. Down to earth. Humble. Spiritual (not religious). Teachable. Reserved.

Above all, he MUST be my best friend.
