virago:
You really are as dumb as they come

Coming from someone who uses her age as a factor in an argument, that's like a compliment.

ImperialYoruba:
Baba should focus on his Next Level. He don pass all these small talks. We want to see him become next UN Secretary General.

He didnt get his phd to be engaged on these kind of politics now.

You want Baba to go and be secretary?

virago:
For someone in her forties I should know , I've lived through the time

Very funny. Age does not prove anything.

You have stats? No!

Cultivate an attitude of gratitude.

virago:
Things don't always get better at least not in Nigeria , what a cleaner/gateman could afford to eat some 30 years ago isn't even possible these days , are things really getting better

How do you know this?
You have evidence or is it merely conjecture?

CAPSLOCKED:
BEST IS TO GET A PARTNER THAT SHARES SOME OF YOUR IDEAS, BELIEVES IN YOU, AND DOESN'T BEHAVE LIKE "THE AVERAGE NIGERIAN".

I mean normal people and not just partners. Family, friends, neighbours, coworkers, everyone in Nigeria is a goddist. How do you manage them?

dominique:
To be sincere, we've never been more divided along religious lines as we currently are. It's like our religious leaders are teaching us to be more intolerant of one another. When we were younger, Christians celebrate with Muslims and vice versa. Now people are trying to prove their holiness by showing disdain towards other religions, not right at all. Inspite of our holiness, crime is at an all time high, makes me wonder exactly what these religious leaders are preaching.

I won't be surprised if it's that silly FIN group she's talking about.

These things have always happened. It is because you have grown older and you read the news more so you get more information and your mind is tricked into thinking that it is increasing. I'm very sure Christian/Muslim relations are getting better.
Things always get better. Evolution is always upward

CAPSLOCKED:
THIS IS NOT TRUE. WE FEEL EVERYTHING HUMANS FEEL IN THE WAYS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO FEEL THEM. IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH YOUR ROMANTIC LIFE IT'S DUE TO THE KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE AND THE KIND OF LIFE YOU LIVE.



ASSUMING YOU'RE AN ATHEIST, HOW WOULD YOU COPE WITH YOUR RELIGIOUS NIGERIAN GIRLFRIEND WHO ALWAYS WANTS TO FAST AND PRAY WITH YOU. ALWAYS WANTS YOU TO ATTEND CHURCH SERVICE, VIGILS, AND SPECIAL MEETINGS WITH HER PASTOR? ESPECIALLY THE CATHOLIC CHARISMATIC GIRL THAT WANTS YOU TO SAY THE ROSARY AND VENERATE MARY WITH HER?
SHE WOULD LIKE THAT YOU HAVE ONE OF THE SCAPULA AND FINGER ROSARIES HER MOM BOUGHT FOR HER, AND WEAR THEM ALL THE TIME.
SHE'S QUICK TO BLAME THE DEVIL AND HER VILLAGERS, AND INVOLVES GOD IN ALL THE SIMPLE THINGS. HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH A RELIGIOUS PERSON, AS A NONRELIGIOUS PERSON?

AS AN IRRELIGIOUS PERSON I FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE WITH RELIGIOUS PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY IN PRIVATE MATTERS.
HARDMIRROR, LORDREED, HOW DO YOU GUYS COPE WITH WHAT I CALL MADNESS?
THERE'S NO OTHER TERM FOR DESCRIBING THE DEDICATION OF A HUGE PART OF ONE'S LIFE TO AN IMAGINARY NONSENSE THAT HAS NO AVAILABLE EVIDENCE THAT SUGGESTS IT'S CREDIBILITY.

I think this is very exaggerated. Where do you meet these kind of girls? In any case if a girl is this fanatic about her beliefs, it will be discernible from her appearance. Why then do you still proceed to hook up with her if you can deal with the baggage. There are many girls who are not like that. So many. You will even meet them in church.


The average Nigerian involves God in everything so how do you deal with them?

Do you start asking them about religion or what?
I could talk to a person for a long time and we would not even broach the subject of religion.

Even if it happens, we could still discuss religion in the Nigerian context.
Why must you bring up your lack of belief?

MotorGuru:
This is reasoning at genius level.
Did you study physics?

Are you sure? There's a very fine between genius and madness you know.

Chubhie:
What goes around comes around. Your own evening beckons.

Exactly.

I don't understand why they cannot think this.

I must confess that there is a humorous side to it though.

Excallibur:
Remembered a time they scored a goal that was voted as bbc goal of the weak... sick

And it was CNN.

Tozara:
Of course. A psychopath can justify anything. That doesn't make his "justification" legitimate.

Who determines legitimacy? You are yet to say

Feminism is about freeing women from being caged by society. They should be able to make THEIR OWN CHOICES without any prejudice, not have "choices" IMPOSED on them. Saying that you want a wealthy man does not in anyway contradict feminism. It is not hypocritical in the slightest.

I know what feminism is. I also know what people say it is. It is not a discussion I am interested in at the moment.

How come you still don't get it? Of course, "I want a rich man" really does MEAN the same thing as "I don't want a poor man". So what? It certainly DOESN'T mean "poor men are shit that are undeserving of any women". That's an entirely different thing. I'm only speaking for myself and saying what I desire. I want a rich man. Is that a crime?

Absolutely not.

"I want a fair woman" automatically means "I don't want a dark woman", but it doesn't translate to "no one should want a dark woman. They're terrible". How can saying "I want a fair woman" offend dark women? Surely, there are other guys out there who love dark skin? So, why would my personal preference offend them? I have not implied that they are pathetic and undesirable.

It's really simple. "I want a tall man" does not mean "short men are shįt".

I get your analogies. But they do not fit.
Try this: "I want only male children." or "I don't want a female supervisor in my firm"
Does it mean female children are bad or female supervisors are incompetent.

My point: We can choose analogies that suit our position all day.

If a lady says she doesn't want a broke man, let the broke man look for someone who wants him. If the rich man says he doesn't want the broke lady, surely she will find one who wants a broke lady. There is nothing wrong with wanting something.

This is like saying, if a manager of a firm wants to promote only male staff, the females workers should folds their hands or go to a company where female workers are appreciated.

You say you want a girl with big ass, does that mean you are mocking ladies without it?

If you say you want promote only male staff. Does it mean you think less of women. The answer is Yes. That's a more suitable analogy.

I agree that our society is a depraved one that puts money above virtues and moral values, but that has no particular relevance to this discussion.

Really.

How did you conclude the values of the said lady based on her desire for a wealthy man? How does that give you enough information to conclude that her philosophy is "only money matters, fück everything else"? That would be a leap where the premise has no connection with the conclusion.

She's a Nigerian and she posted it on Twitter. That's how.
It seems like a stretch but believe me I'm certain.
I don't see how it can be otherwise.

The point of the argument is this: desiring for a wealthy man does not mean a lady hates broke guys, mocks them, and has contempt for them. She just doesn't want them, and she DOESN'T have to want them.

Refer to my analogies. Does a manager have to want to promote female staff even when what he wants is male staff?

Hilarious.
See as them loyal.

Tozara:
Of course, it is evil. When did I ever say it wasn't? I emphasized that in my post, and stated explicitly that you would be justified to condemn her if she had supported that, and she didn't on that thread, since the lady on the said thread was only praying for a wealthy man, not broke-shaming the poor ones.

We will find justification for anything if we choose. The human mind is an amazing tool.

The guy wasn't stating his preferences. He was shaming older women. Isn't that detestable?

Saying that you need a wealthy man for anything repulses me if you carry a feminist placard on your forehead. How do you not see the hypocrisy in this? Why should a feminist give her blessings to a woman who announces that she wants a rich husband?

The post you referred to was not supporting broke-shaming. So, I don't know what could be ego-destroying about a young lady saying she wants a rich man, and another praying she gets it. What's wrong with that?

If you don't see it there is little I can do.

Isn't there a difference between "I want a working class woman" and "Men should only go for working class women. The rest are useless and worthless. They deserve no love. Just use and dump them"?

Isn't there a difference between "I love women with big boobs" and "Men shouldn't date women with small boobs. They have no value".

Isn't there a difference between saying "I prefer younger woman" and "Older women should be married only to be cheated on and treated like trash"?

In matters of this sensitivity, there is no difference. Saying "I want a rich man" is the exact thing as "I don't want a poor man"
This is not physics.

If this is your philosophy, why do you feel offended by women who treat poor men like trash, use and dump them, lie to them and cheat?

I felt offended in the past. It does not offend me anymore. I have come to terms with the reality in my usual manner. I just have a problem with people who can't do same when their ideals align with such thought because it does not suit them at the moment.

That's it! People should be able to decide what they want in other people of the opposite sex.

Agreed

That's what the girl she was supporting did.

That is NOT what the guy she quoted was doing.

We are in the age of "if you no get money, hide your face" and "na money be fine bobo".
It's the same thing however we wish to tell ourselves otherwise.

Tozara:
Apples and oranges. There's no equivalence here, man, so she cannot be a hypocrite. You're the one making the wrong comparison.

Oh really.

It is a different thing for her to support a woman who believes in using a broke guy to satisfy her sexual needs while seeing a wealthy man behind his back. You would be justified in condemning her for supporting a woman scheming such evil.

Who decides what evil is? I think it is evil to mock struggling Nigerian young men as unworthy of you because they do not meet your financial standards especially when you consider all they have to grapple with in this country? Do you think it is evil?

Again, it is a different thing for her to support a woman who tells all women not to date broke guys, saying they should all go for the rich ones instead, while treating the broke ones like trash. I don't think she has ever espoused such view, and that was not the case in the post you dropped the link to. Rather, in that thread, a woman expressed her wish for a wealthy man in the new year, and she supported her with her own prayers, because what the woman asked for HARMS NOBODY. She was just stating her PERSONAL PREFERENCE.

And the guy also stated his personal preferences. Why are we getting worked up. Did you say it harms no one? It's Ego- destroying. It alienates smart, caring, hardworking men who for some reason cannot make a lot of money. The need to meet the financial requirement of the sick society we live in is a consequence of statements like that. Money above all. Why would you want a young man to give you things your father, brothers and all the men in your family could not provide. Well, you put him under pressure and the consequence is yahoo, ritual and the vices we see in the society.

She has the right to such wishes, the same way a guy like you has the right to prefering a woman with firm boobs to a woman whose boobs are saggy, as long as he doesn't come out saying men shouldn't date or marry women with saggy boobs, but should only use them for pleasure and dump them for the fun of it, because that would be cruel.

The guy also has the right to decide the age bracket of the women he wants to follow. He also has the right to use and dump (whatever that means) as he pleases. Who decides what is right or wrong? You?

In the case of the OP, he came out to declare women of a certain age undeserving of marriage, love and care, and that all men should treat them like worthless objects. How can you compare it with the case of the lady simply stating her own PERSONAL PREFERENCE?

If you declare men of a certain financial standing undeserving of your affections without recourse to feelings, men should also be able to say what they want in women. Whoever is offended should get a grip.

Are you trying to say you're fully in support of such wicked mentality? To consider a menopausal woman a worthless individual deserving of no respect, love, commitment, or care, yet going ahead to marry her for the soul purpose of subjugating her to psychological and emotional torture?

I consider judging men by their financial statements as good or as evil as you think that is.

Don't let your contempt for feminism make you blind to reason and common sense. You're being intellectually dishonest when you accuse her of hypocrisy for condemning the OP and every other sick fück that thinks like him.

I am sure how my contempt for feminism (never knew I had that) came into this.
I'm not condemning her. I'm calling her a hypocrite.

PS: The person she quoted was not the OP. It was a guy called hala.ladon.

Daeylar:
Ranchhoddas the entitled sadistic controlling misogynist.
Just because he is not happy that single ladies have the choice to state that they want to date and marry only rich men.(Ranchhoddas wants to control and tell a woman what her standards can be and gets angry when these ladies ignore him and set standards for themselves .) Uses that as an excuse to say that it is right for men to cheat on, mistreat and torment their wives and yet SOMEHOW thinks he is justified.


Sickening.




[size=6pt][/size]

Typical.

When there is nothing else to say, they resort to emotional blackmail.

Who decides what the standards are?
When you set arbitrary financial standards -- never mind that many men for one reason or the other will not meet up, never mind that you equally have two arms and legs and you can make money and give yourself whatever quality of life you desire --do you consider anyone's feelings?
Why then do you throw a fit when they set their own arbitrary standards?

Why should anyone care about your feelings if you do not care about theirs?

Look, if you have no counterargument there is no need to respond.
Coming here to cry is as funny as it is pathetic.

I know you are smarter than this. Get a grip.

Daeylar:
And I stand by it. any problem?

Not at all. The problem is that you stand by it only when it suits you.

So he should be able to try to make an innocent woman's life miserable just because it would be best for him? So it's OK for people to make your life miserable because it is best for them?
Hmmm, Good to know.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. How many men have you made miserable because they do not measure up to your financial standards. Is misery gender-specific?

So you see nothing wrong in what he said? No wonder.

So you see nothing wrong in asking women to go for rich men?

Seems you are also praying for a menopausal lady who can't bear children to marry you, so you can cheat on her while she desperately tries to please you just to get you to stay faithful. Stressing and tormenting the poor innocent lady just for your pleasure
The wickedness of men.

You also torment men who are not rich with your desire for wealth you have not earned. Why is it permitted for you and not for me?

And if sadism and lack of common sense had a face, it would be yours. (And the clown who made the original post

Calling out a hypocrite does not a sadist make.

Misogynist like you, is there any other word you guys know apart from bitter?

Common gerrarahere

Apart from being a hypocrite, you also have a short memory. The word "bitterness" was in the post I alluded to. Na you I learn am from.

Do not gerrarahere. Dance, revel, and make merry in the garb of hypocrisy that you have put on. It becomes you!

Smart girl. Though she could not resist the Nigerian urge to involve words like "God" and "Destiny".

Trying to appeal to the religious side of her Nigerian audience.
Works all the time.

Daeylar:
[s][/s]

May you and all the jokers who liked this post be rejected by all the women you want to date and/or marry, in fact, even if you just want to talk to them, I hope they ignore and brush past you.
Amen.

According to your post on a previous thread women should be able to choose what is best for them. A guy has chosen what he deems to be best for him and you are foaming at the mouth saying useless prayers.

I don't know if it is a crime to want a menopausal woman so that he can be free to chase younger women.
Double standard much.
If hypocrisy had a face it would be yours.

Perhaps you are just a bitter misandrist.

Seahawk:
Never a shortage of dumbasses around here

You have come to increase the number right.

If it disturbing you so much then you are in real trouble. It means you are affected at your core. Your restlessness is a prompting by your Higher Self to rectify the situation. If you fail to do so, it is very possible that doors of financial advancement will shut to you. That bad feeling you are getting is not of this realm.
Take heed!
