For example, I don't see how the knowledge of how to prepare a cake or sew clothes would have a significant bearing on my life if I were a lawyer. This is truer given that I may never get the time to come and be sewing clothes or making cakes for either myself or family.
Even if I would get to use them in future, wouldn't it be once in a blue moon as in Ben Carson's case.

Imagine this scenario: your client who's a tailor commits a crime in his shop and in order to defend him based on a technicality, wouldn't it be useful if you had working knowledge of what he does?

Even if it happens once in a blue moon, the fact is it served its purpose and so therefore was not wasted.

I disagree with your logic, you might have to rethink this.

obongproff: D fact dat a lady is working doesnt mean she has 'independence' mentality. Some ladies are working but dia greed makes dem to be dependent on oda men too.

Hav u not heard dat some married women dat are working and earning good money still pressure dia husbands for money and day contribute little to d home? One begins to wonda wot day do with dia salary.

I had a date with two different working class ladies, one of dem paid for my drinks plus hers and refused to take tp from me. D oda one, well I paid for our drinks and she even wanted more chicken, at d end she asked me to hire a cab to take her home cos she was tired. And she earns good money.

My point is, not all women dat are working actually appreciate hard earned money. Some of dem still carry d virus.

Over valid dey worry your point.

Sarimah: they are rilly confused..
Infact they don't know wat they want

You can't say that..we are all leafs but on different branches.

To each his own, woman.

The same way married folks here spend way too much time online is probably the same reason single people still 'mix' with married ones.

It's not about saying no, there's probably something missing where they are so they'll always be a tendency to "look" outside the window.

tonychristopher: Dating jobless women is saying that your dating liability

You will be turned to ATM machine
You will be worried cos she is idle and then a devils workshop so she will cheat on you
She doesn't know the value of work
She is vain
The relationship will be parasitic instead mutualism

Stay away from them

My two dollar

Is this from experience or just your observation?

MisterLongman: Op you are not alone....... I prefer a symbiotic relationship to a parasitic one

I term it Recharge-card love.

francleanflexy: leech looking for miss independent...

Na joke oh

No disrespect to anyone here, but nothing attracts me more than a woman who works to pay her bills and such.

I'd go Miles like Davis for her.

It's a huge turn on for me, and it doesn't have to be some white collared job. Met this young girl who works at a lounge and couldn't help noticing the contrast between her and some deadbeat Picasso faced women working old men for coins.

She had quiet dignity in her labor, and carried herself well.

Thing is, she'll probably be less demanding, Independent, respect the value of hard-work/money and might also be the type to help a young man grow.

I'll take that over any duck faced/made for Instagram type.


Again, no disrespect to none, just my Independence Day thoughts.

veave: Thatchesttho

#sighs...

Hey there pretty.

Sleekyshuga: Only lame guys do that ...

Funny but true.

Usually some dead guys that try it. No game, they think since the chick came easy it'll be the same for them.

countsparrow:

Permission for Lai lai, d answer will always be NO, irrespective of if he likes the girl or not... The guys ego sometimes doesn't allow this

Not everyone, girls that are low on the priority scale are fair game.

What's the need for locking down girls you probably don't really dig, plus someone to distract them helps especially if they are always on your case.

LaBellaMafiaZA: Team tomboy right hur lol. Never met a guy that didn't habour a secret crush on me. Maybe they even wanna marry me I have balance though. I wear make-up, panties (not boxers) etc. Girly. But I don't do skirts, dresses, high heels, long weaves, long nails etc. Not my style. I don't dress like a dude either lol. I wear clothes that are meant for ladies, just not the kind that screams "I'm a pweencess". Yuck. So I guess I'm not that girly when it comes to some things, but still able to mantain an acceptable medium without looking like a butch dyke.

Tomboys are fun. We won't whine about breaking a nail & other annoying princessy things

I sometimes catch wreck with your type, there's an element of rugged sexuality I like.

Plus, they're more open to trying new things out, and I like pple that like trying out new things

But not the over manly tomboys, there's a fine blend of Tomboy, and I know them when I see them.

countsparrow: Why y'all blaming d guy 90 times out of 100 d fault comes from ur BF... U know y Ur BF goes out, tells d friend, omo dat gal sabi fvck die, she do like dis, do like dat, I lift her legs give am from behind and all sorts... Having said all dis to his friend, the friend sees d GF in a different light, they see u as a game. any Guy dat tells his friends all dat stuff doesn't value his GF therefore making her toastable to friends... Girls if your Bae's friend ask you out
, reconsider ur relationship, most time, d guy doesn't value you and must have said nasty things about you to his friends


NB: this is a true life example

Guys will never say the truth but deep down u know u have said some nasty shit about ur gal... When a guy values his woman, hardly will u see a friend asking her out, go ask... So gals think when such happens..

You've said it all.

Guys generally try hitting on the 'side chick' of the side chick but never the main piece.
The farther the link between the friend/girl in question, the more the likelihood of others making moves on her.

It's similar to Jungle law: male Cuttle fish blow air in the mouths of the females, which forces out the sem.en left by other males, before mating. This ensures continuity of his lineage. It's the law of survival, so naturally people will always make moves on you regardless of your relationship status.

But real friends don't do that, they'll always ask for permission first.

9 in full effect.

Guys,

If you grew up listening to Mode 9 spit on some classic joints produced by Jonah The Monarch (Pentium IX), it'll interest you to know that we are finally bringing both of them together today 7pm @ Apollo Hotel, Sabo Yaba.

It's free entry , bring some friends and lets kick back to some real music.

Oh and Teckzilla will be the DJ as well.

See you there m8

EDIT

The show went great, Mode 9 still has skills for days m8.

I try cooking, it usually comes out horrible but hey, the kitchen is a very dangerous place

But it's the thought that counts, right? Bae?
I know you reading this, don't pretend

This really is a non-issue.

Those seeking to address gender equality, should do so in a targeted manner.
Emma Watson should deliver this message in front of Middle Eastern Sheikhs not leaders of the free world.

This trend of celebrities "lending a voice to a cause'' is played out and that's what I see here.


If truth be told, in the part of the world from where i'm from, the imbalance is on the male side. At work, at home, at school, everywhere women around me are treated equally and even preferentially, so where does feminism come in?

Or is it the old argument of women not occupying positions of authority? Need i give examples?

Genders roles have evolved, traditionally women where bound to the home front but as the society changed, so did the need for women to take on more challenging responsibilities for the family as a unit to survive.

It is only natural that it might take a while before you have a 50:50 ratio of men to women occupying relevant positions.

Kill this conversation, I know kids in Somalia without food and I bet the last thing on their minds right now is gender equality

You are all beautiful.

The boldness to post here without makeup, I applaud.

You are an entire new species of Eve.
I mean, I know girls that won't step out to dry clothes without make-up

Where do I find all of you?
My ex should see this thread

O'course I'll forgive her..I expect to be forgiven as well

But really, all this fuzz 'bout cheating.

I'll rather term it ''careless contact with an outsider''.

This some bull****.

Put the same thing up a few days back and its rip off makes FP?

The reality here is really twisted.

jossi994: Remember one like that in my parish named sandra.. We were real close and bla bla bla. While it was clear i wanted a relationship,she gan had used permanent ink to mark friendzone on my big head.. I asked her to date me and she started with the whole i-like-you-as-a-brother monologue. I quietly listened to her bullshit and cut my losses. I stepped away and let her go and it served me real good cos i met a better person. Occasionally we chat and i have a lot of fun watching her try to reinkindle some bloody spark that doesn't exist no more.. I'm happy cos she's here watching me enjoy myself and knowing that she couldn't trap me in that bloody friendzone!

Truest post I've read in a while.

You are an inspiration to all the deadbeats caught in the Friend-zone.

Tired of telling cats how not to get Friend-zoned, it's simple; stop being overly patronizing, do your thing.

This shows confidence in self which translates to a man that knows his onions and can provide for his family, which in turn excites the primordial genes in women that attracts them to men that can offer a survival package. Bear in mind we are conditioned by genes that act only to ensure survival; a woman will always look for a mate that can guarantee (A) Healthy offspring (B) survival.

Niceties & indecision's are against the law of nature in regards to the rule of "Survival of the fittest".


My Reality, whats yours?

destante: hmm okay.

Why did you ask..you work in one?

destante: you work at a gym?

You funny.

Regular 9-5 like the rest, only reason I end up at the gym is to kill my hyper-active side.

Typos & lies I agree with.

I'll tell you the absolute truth no one says; Key word match

Yeah I said it.

I'm a Talent Acquisition Specialist, in other words I match candidates with my clients job description. I feed off this, pay my bills and MB i use on Nairaland off this.

Truth be told, it is all about matching the clients job description with your work profile; but don't push it, no lies or you will get caught.
There's a grey area, capitalize on that.

10 years + experience? keep it down to 3 pages.

Not enough experience? focus on your achievements.

Get rid of your date of birth, and state of origin; it's against employment laws and could lead to bias.

Cover letter? 100 words or less highlighting the value you could bring to the organization.

Preferred font? Verdana or Calibri; shows you are serious minded.

Structure of resume? brief intro, career progression, training & workshops attended, and I.T proficiency related to your area of specialization.

This Google HR guy is yarning dust, things are done differently here, read this post this morning on my LinkedIn and laughed, had 600 CV's to review and only two of what he listed was a criteria.

Again, *dust*

Only number 3 is valid in my opinion.

Contrary to what people think, YOU can get a flat stomach if you want it that bad, but it doesn't come easy.

Crunches, Crunches, & more crunches. PLUS an exercise guide you can integrate into your schedule.

I did it and so could you

Guys, I need more of this

'Thought I was the only one addicted to Memes.

Anyone with those Kermit the frog Memes should put them up, else

osemeka: bro codes 19 and 21 are kinda contradictory, I think...

Not at all Bro...19 means details of a sexual encounter
21 refers to explaining why you would make such a foolish move on what belongs to another...Kapish?

basille: A bro shall in no way go after another bro's relative without permission from the bro-therhood. Sisters are totally Off-limit
Bro code, me likey!

That didn't get on the list as it is unthinkable. The only exception is if you marry her.
