Virtue lies in the middle. There should be temperance and moderation in everything. Once a woman is averagely beautiful and has bodacious character, I will definitely be content. The descriptions above are too utopian, chimeric and unrealizable. It is different from what is obtainable in the society.

carefreewannabe: I don't consider 6packs attractive to start with but the guys I dated attracted me with their looks first. This is why I agreed to date them. The personality came second. It played a role in deciding if I want to have a relationship with the guy or not. But looks came first. If I hadn't liked the way they looked, I wouldn't have started dating them at all and therefore wouldn't have got to know their personality.

Saga, are you a woman?
Many women on this thread have mentioned appearance among other factors being decisive for choice making. Why are you so desperately trying to prove that looks are not that important? They are very important. Unfortunately, also MANY women are very superficial beings.

But one can know about personality first or simultaneously with looks. For instance, a very intelligent dude in your class, with high prospects. At least you may know these things before his asking you out.

Why then should he be made to lead them? Just hope it's not because of the colour his skin.

'Say something that makes her view you in an intimate way' AND 'never compliment her about her looks'.
Isn't this paradoxical.
What then do you say to make her view you in the supposed intimate way?

I'm no good at sums but it appears this doesn't add up-- ''if someone spends 100 thousand daily it will take about 53 years to spend 1 billion.
Could someone help me verify this?

You simply have not told us the whole truth. And I'm incredulous as to your claim that you have met girls who ask for things the next day. At least I know that there are still decent girls out there. So I'm accepting this with a pinch of salt.
At any rate, your problem may be the location at which you meet these your so called scroungers. Do you meet them where you normally pick whores? And do you start immodest flaunting your cash the moment you meet them. I think you need to change your location. Why not try meeting a girl in church gatherings, at wedding or some other different place.
Futhermore, it is very impolitic to be lavishing money on prostitutes, whom you will get only ephemeral satisfaction from and feel empty afterwards.
It is good to know that someone loves you, a feeling you can't have with prostitutes.
Also, get rid of fear and as well be prepared to be slighted or snubbed by immature girls.
Gudluck in your future adventures.

Yes! Especially the chubby and or fat ones.

Yes!

Siena: Not true. Engines can run at idle for 24 hours, without overheating. The fan actually comes on while the car is stationary, and whilst doing a constant speed, the fan won't be triggered. A mechanical fan will also do the job while the car is stationary.

An engine that boils if the car is stationary has underlying issues that need sorting out.

If you are savvy mechanically, you won't argue with the fact a car that is stationary has great chances of being overheated. This is manifest on our roads especially in cities that are traffic jam prone.
Your riposte as to stationary and mechanical... is cryptic and obscurantist.

*Lack of enough water in the radiator.
*Failure to put the engine off while the motor is immobile or while in traffic jam. This is because the fan turns at a slow pace whereupon the water that cool the engine is circulated hot.
*Fan belt failure.
*Some engines are also prone to overheating.

Just my two pennyworth.

ITbomb: Some are more equal than others

Of course the declaration that all men are equal is chimeric and quixotic.

highlandre: If this arrongant and incorrigible honourable could talk like this, then why are we surprised nothing good is coming out of the National Assembly? The big-man mentality among our politicians makes a mess of protocols and good policies.

If Fashola himself can desist from flouting traffic laws, who the heck is this dishonourable member of National Assembly? Oshi!

Fashola, a law abiding citizen indeed.
That's just an act of sheer bravado and braggadocio. He is just being highfalutin and plastic.

Lalaska: Arrant nonsense. Explaining why you broke the law

Broke which law, there are doctrines of necessity. The law can be broken when necessary. That's why you can kill a person in self defence without running afoul of the law. In other words, if you can establish before the court that you actually did the killing to defend yourself against grievous bodily harm or death. Mind you, the defence should be commensurate with the attack as you would be indicted when otherwise is the case.

naja2: This is your typical Nigerian lawbreaker sorry "lawmaker" has absolute no regard for the laws of the land. Laws in Nigeria are made for only the poor and the weak. In other saner climes where public officials actually serve the people, have ever wondered how govt officials in the u.k get around without convoys and sirens yet very effective, since the day govt officials ve been having meetings in Nigeria so how come the lot of the people ve not been better by the series of this all important meetings that makes it very ok to break the laws of the land. my take i can bet the "honourable" was rush to a meeting to discuss the sharing of some looted funds or to meet up with a female lover, this is the typical itinery of a Nigerian lawmaker.

Spare me the platitude- 'the sane climes.' Let's just be realistic and rationative .They shouldn't have accosted the man. I mean such people should be given concessions especially when the said law affects no one directly. You can't refute factually that the man was rushing for an important meeting. Also, I don't discount as a lie the possibility that he wasn't. Those bootlicking VIOs were just being impish and contumelious. And who said that the law respects no one? That's why the court can grant bail to a person on his recognisance as a celebrity or VIP.
Additionally, you don't sue a government agency without giving them notice, otherwise the court would lack competence to adjudicate over the matter. Isn't that respect?

Billyonaire: Money and Love is the same thing. Without money, no one loves you, not even your siblings. As for dating, a relationship is more of fights than romance in the absense of cash money!

Fallacy of hasty generalisation.

Sounds doleful. It's like the dude is level headed and politic. Doesn't feature in the media unlike his likes.
Death is the liberator of he whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure and the comforter of him whom time cannot console. -Charles colton

From what the adjective materialistic means, your assertions is marred by and fraught with fallacies and pontifications, bereft of substance Who is not materialistic?

lagerwhenindoubt: Well the evidence is laid our bare for all to see. Are Nigeria's youths lazy, unintelligent and materialistic.? If you are making a valid generalization.. YES 100%. You cannot use a small pool of the Chimamanda, 2Face and other successful young entrepreneurs to make a factual judgment on Nigeria's Youths.. you can simply take a walk and engage the first 20 youths the first 1km. you will surely agree that at least 18 are unemployed and would not further their education to get a chance at getting a better job, they would rather be cleaners or loaf about, go to the beach, clubs, sag their jeans, wear nerdy eye-wear and listen to music. The Nigerian Society is not helping matters either.. every youth-centered campaign is around Maltina, Big Brother Africa, Gulder Ultimate Search, Dance this and Dance that.. nothing around EDUCATION.. how else can the Nigerian Youth not be LAZY, and MATERIALISTIC

acidtalk: Your uncle is so correct. Though truth hurst but he is stating the obvious.
You don't need to go too far to see the truth. Just take a look around nairaland to confirm is judgement.

Even so many people who complain of unemplyment today, are they really employable? Just take a view at the thread below

Graduates Fail PRIMARY SCHOOL Questions. At Job Interview

https://www.nairaland.com/1003181/graduates-fail-primary-school-questions

You must be very shallow and myopic to conclude that a graduate is a unintelligent if he fails primary school test. If you are sincere and upbeat to yourself, you will know that most things that you can't recall with lucidity most things that have formulae like mathematics, especially if what you studied in the varsity is art related. Or how many good and renowned lawyers in this country can solve mathemathical problem as easy as 'simplify'? Are you now justified and politic to term the person a dimwit because of that inability? I mean it's not rationative. Gosh!

To my mind and without wanting to denigrate anybody or sound immodest, Obahiagbon is illiterate. He is deficient in writing/speaking skills, and only ends up confounding his audience.

Eso's legacy will forever remain indelible. He was a legal salamander, a tall tree in the legal forest. Was one of the few incorruptible judges, full of scruples and sagacity.
He will be missed ad infinitum. May his soul rest in in the bosom of the Lord.

humpito: I can cram a whole textbook.

Really?

Personally, I find that act insufferable as it doesn't commend itself with me. Some of these new mothers will bring out their tiits in the full glare of everybody in the guise of breastfeeding. At evening mass the other day, one instead of bringing out the breast from the midriff, just brought the whole thing out front up. I mean, it was soul destroying. They exacerbate the whole issue by not applying what is called discreet breastfeeding. PLEASE OUR NEW/ YOUNG MOTHERS SHOULD START PRACTISING ''DISCREET BREASTFEEDING''

Basically this is at best utopian and academic as it has only little practicality. At any rate, people are still being bailed for free. It's just that most people that are aware that there is a circumstantial evidence against against them, once they hear there is a possibility of their case being taken to court tend to settle it immediately because they don't want to risk being kept behind bars. Whereas some that didn't commit any crime still part with princely sum of money when our corrupt police start giving them barrage of threats. The fears of the former is justified while that of the later is not.
Erroneously too, some see going to court as going to jail. It is abysmal that the citizenry lack sensitization in that regard. This is coupled with the fact that many people do not have time to enforce their rights and the police tend to frustrate the efforts of those that try same.
But I tell you that if you know your onions you can get bail free; even if the police talk gibberish, you can easily through your lawyer. apply for bail at the nearest magistrate or high court

I naturally feel more attracted to the so called fat people- women.

The truth that there are always exceptions is self evident.
Inasmuch as some coys may have preference for federal grads, it doesn't by no means dispense with the fact that many state uni grads are damn stellar intellectually. Your bounden duty now is to work, exert yourself by quitening your traducers and detractors by proving your mettle.
To my mind, the cleavage between state and federal grads has always been and will forever still be there. Afterall, that of polys and unis has been there.
But essentially, it doesn't determine your success.
To buttress my point, my elder brother graduated from ESUT last 3 years, now he has two cars and lives a posh life somewhat.
So, basically the uni you graduated from is immaterial, and that's if you know your onions and tomatoes.
Mind you, success is no one's exclusive preserve, alma mater nothwithstanding.
Shalom!

gree-die:
It means communication; ability to express myself and be listened to without being judged..it means that I'm cherished, loved and adored by my partner for who I am, the way I am even if I'm not Kim K's look alike or Iweala's twinee.. It means that my partner possesses qualites I want in a man, dat I'm not settling for less.. It means consistency, even if we argue or disagree, the underlying love is still there.. It means that I know his weak points and can deal with it.. It means that I always have his attention even when there are other people around..it means that what I have presently is ideal (ofcz there is always room for improvement) and I don't look back with nostalgia.. It means that I can trust him.. It means that I'm confident and secured without threatening baggages as is he..

Security entails a lot if things but basically it's that gut feeling, that intuition that my relationship is firm and can withstand a tempest (this feeling is rarely wrong)

stellar, I think this is.

lola.luv:
@topic
Security, I'd say.

What is security?

gree-die:
Security it is...

Could someone be so kind as to tell me with remarkable precision, what security is?
