Abfinest007:
Barça will never go for an experience coach. this one of the problem of barca
It's almost like the board is under a spell.

When clubs even the rookie ones are going for young and middle aged above average players, Barcelona seem to be either looking for old expired players and failed coaches.

Romance › Re: Are Single Matured Guys Irresponsible? by Skepticus: 7:19am On Aug 17, 2020
gbami:
When you are single, matured, working especially in high earned jobs..You hear people tagging you irresponsible because you're not yet married despite doing well for yourself..
But does it mean Married men are irresponsible, because they are married? Not at all..I feel the most irresponsible gropus are married men...They cheat at any given time...I see them, they discuss it, especially after 2yrs of marriage..they start cheating as if there is no tomorrow, even the so called decent ones..they do it codedly..
A lot of men cheat...We may not know because they are related to us and will pretend when we are around, but they do cheat
Truth be told... Whenever I feel irresponsible for not being married, and a married man start discussing how many women he has slept with or intend to sleep with after marriage..I feel responsible, because I don't cheat, don't smoke, drink or club..
What is it that makes married men cheat after marriage?
I hope I don't cheat when I get married and I don't find a reason to cheat too.
You need to first ask yourself what responsibility and being responsible truly is. Don't define it by Nigerian's standard.

Responsibility is the state or fact of having a duty and being accountable for its consequences. This means having control over your actions, life and dealing with what it brings.

Marriage in itself (especially monogamy), is an artificial construct of humans when we began to settle down into societies. It is optional. If a kid becomes a consequence of you, pair bonding with a woman, you have a responsibility of taking care of the kid, because it's your genetic material and the kid never asked to be born.

But society shaming because you refused to pay (bride price), for someone else's daughter, and taking care of her (regardless of your age or financial status) is downright stupid and disingenuous.

Use your head. Don't let the society fool you. Do your own things at your own pace. What makes them do it most of the time is herd mentality meaning that since others get married, it's a must that you do regardless of whether it is sensible or not.

I'm glad that younger people are beginning to question certain issues that society expect them to do as part of the "human herd".

Let's face it... Lyon will simply park the bus!!! Bayern is not losing that game!!!

The best Lyon can achieve is a lesser humiliation than what Barca faced.
At this stage, na man to man, blood for blood. No one can be underestimated but I get your point and like I said earlier Bayern are the favourites. Make dem no lose guard.

Competitive sports have always proven at every time, the dangerous will of underdogs

Bayern are the ultimate favourites. No doubt. Never underrate Lyon.

A man with nothing to lose is very dangerous. They have all to win.

It is better for Manchester City to ease out now. With their crappy defence, a little better than Barca's, they would likely have suffered Barca's fate too.

This Man City side are no match for Lyon. The only problem with Lyon is over reliance on defensive play. If they had been playing the way they played 1st half, they would have scored at least 3 now.
As far as na accepted tactics, use what works for you. No plan is totally useless and no plan is totally perfect. If na tiki taka work for u, use am, if na tap in, use am, if na parking trailer, use am.

Na after match, analysis dey sweet.

Tonight might have been just a football match but I learnt a lesson ..am sure by tomorow ...barca will announce the sack of their manager..but does that solve the problem..Barcelona refused to build a team since the era of iniesta/Xavi ....but they keep expecting trophies through backdoors cos they have "messi" all Bayern needed to do tonight was crowd messi and mark as a team and all threat was nullified..after the era of Robben and Ribery Bayern built a new era..same wit Rb Leipzig..man city...Liverpool.... But barca kept gambling with diff players forgetting messi won't save there ass all the time..".NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF BUILDING " it may take time but will be worth it..sela!
Lessons for life. Never get too comfortable, no matter how high your level of success is. Keep building. In a competitive sphere like sport, your rivals are building up and one day, they'll catch up with you and outdo you.

Honestly, what they suffered last season at Anfield was a clear ominous sign of the desecration waiting ahead!!!

Messi missed that cue... He should have packed up and left fast!!! Pity!!!
That's where Ronaldo is better than him. He should have left earlier in 2018. The signs were there. He got too comfortable staying too long there till the ovation turned into boos.

It's a lesson for us in other spheres of life. Never get too comfortable in a position even when you have attained great success. In the world of entertainment, it's a sacrilege. You begin to bore people and lose the status that you have.

He'll have to take his L and leave the club now because with the shitty policies of the club's board, it will only get worse with 2021 season.

He didn't expect it to be so easy. It shows how weak Barcelona has become.

When the 6th goal was scored, there was this expression of awe and disbelief on his face like, my boys are running amok!

If the Barcelona board don't plan for the future, don't put your plan into supporting them. From 2016, dem dey the reason why barca don dey depreciate till dia cup full today.

Guardiola will be wondering if this is the same club he coached and failed woefully to take to the finals...

How to face them??! He will probably call Mourinho and CR7 for defensive and counter-attacking tips respectively!!! grin
Guardiola would have disposed off Messi. Since Messi would likely not be disposed, he would likely quit to save the impending disaster that anyone with an eye for the future would have seen with Barca's Messidependencia.

To make it worse, if they don't do something drastic in the next few months, Barcelona might sink into further decay like the Milans, Manchester United never to fully get back, up, after messi leaves or retires. They can learn from Real Madrid which was a able to lift itself up after the confusion that followed Ronaldo and Zidane's exit

Funny enough, I made a bet with a friend at halftime that Barcelona will concede 8 goals tonight. He thinks otherwise. I'm hoping I win. 2 bottles for me.

The worst mental torture any Barca fan can inflict on him/herself is to hope that by any chance Barcelona will draw or win this game.


Brethen! This game is over!
Any Barça fan thinking that they will win or draw the game before the match must be rètarded sef.

Even if Barcelona win or drew the match by stroke of luck or whatever, it is undeserved.

Of all the matches of this semifinals, only the match of Bayern Munich Vs Barcelona appears to be unevenly matched. For the remaining underdog teams, they have a decent chance of upsetting, hence, the fight from Atalanta and Leipzig.

Tomorrow. I'm expecting Lyon to put up a decent fight against a Manchester City that is good but has shown disturbing streaks of inconsistency and weak defence lately. Forget this Barcelona, na walk in the park for Bayern.

Some people just don't get the memo. Messi-era of Barcelona has reached its end.

Forget the emotional fans. Real Barcelona fans who have followed the team from their years of dominance till now knows that the Barcelona of 2018 till now is the worst since 2003.

Bayern Munich is at its peak now. Barcelona cannot afford to tie their shoe laces.

Barcelona can't concede less than 8 goals tonight

-A woman who is interested in a man wants to see other women are INTERESTED in him. Not only does that give him instant VALUE, it makes it all the more satisfying to snatch him from their clutches.

Culled from the 48 Laws of Power

The Bang Rule also said something similar

Ubunja what do you think about this. It's a good one, yeah? cheesy

cool
It is called pre-selection or mate-copying and has strong roots in our evolution as humans. It is also noticeable in other animal species.

Having a woman or having women around you signals to the subconscious biological instinct of other females that you have superior genes. It could be aggression/violence, looks, social charm or bed game at base level. These attract these females to share in your genetic superiority.

For the modern day naïve male with none of these, money could do same but in the end, it only attract money-hungry sluts when the man has no red pill frame. The man is still at great disadvantage.

Like it has been said earlier, money on a man without red pill frame is like make up on a bîtch out of shape.

Religion has always portrayed people who smoke cannabis as mentally ill or as very irresponsible and capricious people.

But from my experience, many weed smokers i've met are the kindest, benignant and most open minded ppl.

But the stereotype still exist, why?

PS: I don't smoke and I'm not here to bash anyone's religion
It exists because of the strong effects of popular culture. A lot of people stereotype cigarette smokers too. The general culture is just stupid.
Romance › Re: Reality Every Guy Need To Know ( STRICTLY REDPILL) ... by Skepticus:
GLYCOLYSISS:
-- A woman scarcely matures past 18. She simply becomes pickier and more entitled with age, mistaking self-aggrandisement for enlightenment, although such is the contrary. Likewise, women infinitely obsess over the maturity of individuals, using it as a point of contention to manipulate people. And so it is with profound deadpan irony that women shit test men on their maturity, deeming male behaviour they disagree with as boylike. Women mature faster than men, but they do not mature for as long as men. As such, they mature less.
I was about to touch on this lately observing the pattern of comments that female and their simping cucks make when a thread is opened or a comment emphasizing the red pill. I'm glad you picked on it.

You all might be familiar with this scenario.

Nairaland Thread: Woman cries for justice after she slaps and pour drinks on a man at a party without provocation and get beaten in return

Red Piller makes a comment: She deserves what she got. Women need to start taking responbilities for their action and live with its consequences

first female drops her comment in a mention of that of the red piller's: All these small Nairaland boys sef. Why should someone lay hands on a woman? Only weak men do that

Second female makes a joining sequel: Don't mind these small nairaland boys. They are still living in their father's house eating mummy's food

(Notice how the females deliberately avoid responding directly to the issue by deflecting and age-shaming even though they are unaware of the red piller's age).

Their Beta Cucks step in for major simping:

Male Simpleton 1: That's irresponsible of the boy. Even though it's unprovoked, he should be a man by withstanding abuse from ladies. Only weak men do that

Male Simpleton 2 (quoting first female): I can bet on it that the boy you mentioned is not married. I have been married for 100 years and I get slapped by my wife everyday but I endure because in life and marriage, you have to let some things go for the sake of peace. He is a small boy. He would learn when he gets married.

Male Simpleton 3 (who is obviously, a clueless, thirsty goat with no game, quoting the second female): You write very well. You are very intelligent. You must be a writer, I guess. I like your profile picture. Check your mail. I just sent you a mail

Smh.

yep. Civilization is built on sexual repression. I can't remember which psychologist said this.

The more sexually expressive we are, the less development there'll be. If we lived for sex we would be living in the jungle. Sexually Satisfied but with nothing to show for it but babies.
