Sixfeetbelle:
Let's do this. cheesy cheesy

Prior to writing this topic, I have been opportuned to view various writeups by other members who advise men not to date broke ladies or actually, ladies with entitlement mentality. And while the sagacious ones will pick the heart of the message and move on, the foolish ones will gather like crows to feast on the carcass, throwing insults and jabs like little boys that were denied treats at a Christmas party, thus picking nothing relevant from the post by the end of the day. I hope they know that It isn't the messenger's fault that comprehension is a difficult trait to acquire for some people.

Due to this behavioural menace, I have decided to tow a different path with my message today. Having said that, I'll like to reiterate for those hard of understanding that: Broke girls are cool to date but once she starts exhibiting entitlement mentality, end the relationship. To the ladies, I'll say this as well: Broke guys are cool to date but once he starts going on and on about prospects and dreams that look like castles in the air, please discard the relationship and move on. Since this thread is purposefully meant for the ladies, I'll give them reasons why I made that statement. Feel free to correct any mistakes you see and I'll rectify them. NB: Only corrections made without insults and/or jab will be considered.

[center]Characteristics of men without prospects[/center]

1) They are day dreamers: Inasmuch as I believe in struggling together with your man through his hard days, I always know human beings are fickle and loyalty isn't always rewarded. That said, some men who claim to be hustling are actually daydreamers who are too proud to work in the mud. They are hardly steady at any job, always dreaming and fantasising about the day they'll become millionaires or own a private jet or a mansion in banana island without actually making grand plans to achieve that. If care is not taken, it's very likely that he has changed jobs more than ten times in the past five years. While it's good to dream, it's best to have laid down plans that will connect your days of humble beginnings to your glorious future.

My take: Ladies, examine his prospects and see the viability of his dreams before making your decision.

2) They are charming: It always beats my imagination when I see visionless men get ladies so effortlessly. Then I realised the reason is because they're smooth talkers, as charming as a snake can be. I can't seem to understand the correlation between a passion for success and a need to swoon the ladies, and I believe that no man who is skillful in one will be that proficient in the other. While other men are hands and feet down in the mud striving to attain their future ambitions, his head and attention is buzzing like an antenna, waiting to pick up the next available lady, thus distracting him from achieving a single goal everytime.

My take: Ladies, take a good look at your relationship and recall how he wooed you. There are exceptions but a woman can always tell.

3) They are not loyal: Please, let's not dirty our minds and start imagining a cheating boyfriend, (although he may be one) rather, let's look at his life in general. He's never been in a position where his loyalty in life was tested. He's hardly the first child, thus never been in a position that makes him a core hustler. His siblings are doing much better than him, hence he may very likely live off of their crumbs. He's never had a successful relationship that ended due to health or tribal issues. They either ended due to his refusal to leave a job or his inability to keep one, more so the latter. It can be due to his inability to not avoid everything in skirt or his insecurity of the ladies' success as he'd be a trifle bit jealous of other's success as he can't seem to ever achieve his own. All in all, he's not one to trust to handle being the captain of the ship.

My take: Ladies, analyse him if you can and make your decision. But remember, dreamers who can't get what they want always end up jealous. He won't ever be that CEO he's always telling you about, not with the lackadaisical way he goes about it.

4) They are time wasters: This was supposed to be number one point, but the crows would have had a field day with my post if I did it that way. Anyway, men without prospects are invariably professional time wasters. No surprises there. And while their heart may be with you (they do know how to love greatly), they lack the wherewithal to do right by you in the appropriate time. Generally, they're never in a need to settle down or any of the other societal 'needs' that the rest of the population may desire because they lack the capacity to do so. Please do not confuse their inability to mean apathy. On the contrary, if they had their way, you'd be married to them before you can say Jack Robinson. However, their life will always be driven in whatever direction the wind takes them and when the dust finally settles, they'll find themselves approaching forty, with no reasonable evidence of their hustle in life and no lady by their side. Disclaimer: Not all men in that age gap were without prospects.

My take: Ladies, iron out your situation with him and see if you both can reach a compromise. If he won't accept outside help to start off your married life (highly unadvisable), drop him like hot coal. When he gets to 40, someone young will marry him.

Summary, ladies even as you strive to become independent, strong women, always weigh your options in every relationship you go into. Don't always sit and wait for the man to make his intentions known. Incite him to state his desires and see if they tally with yours. At the end, whoever you choose to date, always think of the future your children will have. Think of the children, sisters.

Thank you.
Ladies dating men with prospects is an oxymoron for most ladies as they themselves lack prospects or the mental capacity to spot one.

Irrespective of who ladies marry, why do you think the average woman is naturally attracted to bums, jerks and assholes.

PureFace1:
Lol this thread is about just 50 Yoruba in Hollywood and Entertainment industry not about sports and other sectors and only the popular ones that won several awards not all of them because the list will be endless.

You had to make it about sports to have a fighting chance so you think Yoruba don't also have endless people in sports?

In Basketball ball which Igbo is as great as Hakeem Olajuwon that's a legend in American basketball? Not to even talk about Boxing and other sports. I bet sit down


Go and create your own thread too with 1000 Igbo in Hollywood and Entertainment industry that have Grammy or Oscar awards lol.
Hakeem Olajuwon, NBA Hall of Famer, FIBA Hall of famer and the best defensive player in NBA history with 3830 blocks recorded.
CelebritiesRe: 50 Hollywood/European Stars That Were Yoruba by Skepticus: 11:03pm On Jul 19, 2020
LegendHero:
We are talking about A lists here with Grammy awards. If we are to pick up all the usual Yoruba celebrities that are unknown then we can have 100 Yoruba celebs in UK alone.

Not to talk about USA.

The likes of Forest Whitaker and TD Jakes are not Igbos. They are just those African Americans that always link their ancestry to Nigeria tribes.

Just like Chadwick Boseman of Black Panther claimed he had Yoruba ancestry but I purposely just ignore him by not including them on this post.

Also we have the likes of Rockmond Dunbar the guy that featured in Prison Break who linked their DNAs to the Yoruba people.

You are even listing people playing American football and sport lol. We are just talking about Hollywood and musicians here alone.

That’s why I also don’t include the likes of Gani Oladimeji Lawal Jr.
,Giannis Antetokounmpo, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Kostas Antetokounmpo, Hakeem Olajuwon, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Olowokandi, Olu Famutimi, Victor Oladipo, Bam Adebayo, Anthony Joshua, Israel Adesanya, and etc in sports. I’m talking about important people that hold world title and not some mushroom people.

There are several of them like that.
In sports, you only mentioned basketball players. In American Football, I can give you 10 names of Yoruba descent coupled with some from Basketball.

Nigeria and Nigerians are a lost cause.

2. It is also very clear now that buhari is unable to up to the first and primary responsibility of any government again, which is security of persons and property

3. We also need the NASS to ensure our intelligence architecture is working optimally in such a manner to ensure that these resigning fighting are not being tactically recruited by the BH

Obviously somebody is playing out a well planned strategy and current set of service chiefs can not decode.

Don't try to force buhari. He can not give what he does not have. So don't waste the time we do not have

kikero:
And the reason why our POlice finds it difficult to solve crimes easily is MONEY.

Nigerians don't pay much in taxes. Our tax to gdp ratio is about 5.8%, the african average is 23%.

We don't even earn enough from oil at all. And our per capita GDP is very low.

Also, we don't have enough money to secure our borders, record everything, and even have sufficent CCTV in every city in this country, talkless of even Lagos and Abuja alone self.

The annual budget of New York's Police force is five times that of Nigerian Police. Just imagine, one state in the USA spends five times of the budget of the Nigeria Police on its police force.

And what limited money we have is looted, plus we don't want to support polices that would grow that money. We want to chop oil money, and we even argue over it...meanwhile, actual economic development we know not.
Nigeria is not rich or earning much revenue but it's definitely NOT BROKE

This is the trope that those in power sell to the mostly ignorant masses to deflect them from their incompetency and corruption.

To anyone reading this, it's understandable if you are serving in government and sharing this sentiments. If you are not rich and not serving in government, you sir/ma, is a hopeless fool.

Look blackmen have a problem. You will be a hypocrite to deny that. When white people kill it is rarely out of spite. White people kill most times due to insanity. But a black man will take your life over insult, woman, 200 Naira, alcohol, bet, food, envy etc. The whites have a different heart. We are not the same. Don't ever believe it. Look at how they structured their governments. The leaders always remain accountable to the people. Yes, the colonised us. True. There was racism. True. But that's the rule of the powerful over the less weak. The strong always take what they can get from the weak. Before they colonised us we fought wars here too. Stronger kingdoms fought smaller ones to subdue them. No biggy. I'm a black man but I am aware of the black problem.

I am even proud of my inferiority complex. Yes. The white man is superior to me regardless of anything. We are not all the same. How can you say a white man and black man are the same? The complexion, the hair. Nothing is the same. Telling all races to see themselves is a lie. Since black people took over SA, it has been incompetence after incompetence. Go and check out the systems managed by the whites and examine the progress. Then check our what happened after the blacks took over. The truth will be clear
Guy, chill with the emotional-laden generalizations. There is no denial that Africans at home and in the diaspora have deep-seated problems of ignorance and being unprogressive as a race. The whites superceed us in these aspects.

The bolded above is not generally true. Whites claim insanity a lot during murders but they also murder for the most senseless and irrational things that the human mind can imagine inspired by greed, envy and insecurity. Following their crime stories and cases will amaze you to how much white folks share in similarity with blacks when it comes to conscious senseless murders.

Just protect yourself from every man whether white, brown, black or Asian. The heart of men generally is inherently wicked.

Question.Is it possible for one to swallow the "pill" without experiencing rage/anger,but rather an "i should have known" moment concerning his dealings with f/males.
It is highly possible. It has to do with your temperament as an individual when being confronted with harsh truths and also, having a small knowledge of the red pill prior to swallowing it. To me, the "had I known" moment is psychological healthy and helps one to correct his mistakes after swallowing the red pill.

Great suggestion.

I could do that but it seems the owner of the thread doesn't what "red pills" around here despite the fact that he is turning his young, impressionable but beta fans into red pillers.

That doesn't stop me though. I'll drop it as the thread proceeds further. That may help in a way for men trying to negotiate their way out of the "rage" stage.

That Komodo dragon,is it capable of killing an adult human? Also,those wild dogs,can they be mixed with our domestic Alsatian dogs at home(like making a wild dog and a domestic dog have sex)to produce more aggressive and powerful puppies for dog-lovers?
Komodos are highly capable of eating humans and just anything as they are resistant to venoms.

In fact, Komodos have a fierce reputation for killing dutch explorers and locals in its Indonesian abode.

Don't think of crossing those dogs with our domestic canines except you don't like your life or you run a dogfighting ring.

Prenups are good, especially to test the loyalty of a woman but in itself, not fool proof.

There have been several cases of prenups being trashed by law courts as nonbinding documents.

Just got a PDF copy of Positive Masculinity by Rollo Tommasi , it’s quite a long read but I will take time to go through it. Takes a lot of balls and commitment to do what you’re doing right now, man. Your steps are quite relatable and easier to undertake.
Rollo is married and he handles the red pill and its application to dating well.
RomanceRe: African Game: The Next Step After Taking The Redpill by Skepticus:
Meedon:
.
I'm fully ready for anything that is required to go through this part
I'm no monk. I get pusey when I want it and the knowledge of the red pill helps me around to minimize the chances of being manipulated and burnt.

I'll drop a some of the ideas I know on going monk.

Be aware that being called a "monk" in the manosphere doesn't mean one is celibate. The monk phenomenon found among western world men occurs for various reasons.

I. Some have been badly burnt by the family courts in these western countries where their wives have been handed almost half of what they worked for in their lives. Some have ended up in jail when they couldnt meet up with child support payments and their Lives ruined totally. The US is a case in point. These men dump the dating market and women generally for good.

II. The gynocentric (pro-women) laws in a lot of western societies (a consequence of the rise in feminism) is so biased against men that you don't need to marry or date on a long term to get into trouble with the law. It's a reason why these folks abandon gaming women, one-night stands/flings and cohabiting with women (Common laws in some countries recognize living with a woman for 4 years and above as technically, "marriage"wink. The Me Too movement where a lady just need to make a false accusation after you picked her up for the night with her consent has wrecked all the reputation some men have built up, into shambles.

III. For a significant number of men who have gone monk, some have had their best of fun with women, spending time, money and energy, later realizing that the effort spent in getting and bedding these women isn't worth it. They find fulfilment in other things and see women for what they really are, a pastime.

IV. Biological factors like low libido, hormonal imbalances, etc.

V. Personal choices like improving semen retention, religious reasons etc.

The only pass for Nigerians is that the family courts (also pro-women) in nigeria isn't harsh on men. Plus, the conservative culture of the Nigerians society still protects essence of decent manhood.

Going monk is a state of mind. You have to prepare your mind for it. The redpill, MGTOW community don't compel or generally advise men to go monk. Those who went that route have their peculiar reasons for it and they are respected for it. Get sex when you want but keep your red pill cap always so you don't lose guard.

Forget the "tough-guy 100% alpha" some clowns might want to sell you.

A lot of them still have unhealthy obsession with sex, women and are just a "Hi" "kiss" or "Blówjob" away from falling back into the beta state of mind that a rail about.
