RomanceThings Men Should Never Ask Women by Stycon(op): 5:03pm On Jan 07, 2015
1. A man should never ask a woman if he can kiss her, as she will only say, a man should never "ask" for a kiss.

Asking her for a kiss will only make a man look like a boy, which is what a woman is not interested in, and even if she says "yes", it could mean she is just being polite, while on the inside her attraction meter will read a firm, "No".

2. A man should never ask a woman if he can take her out on a date sometime, as she would like to be with a man who is a leader and in control, not someone who asks her permission to hit on her.

A man should confidently ask a woman out, by simply saying, "We should hang out... what's your number?" or tell her about a specific place he wants to take her to.

3. A man should never brag about the car he has or the kind of house he lives in, as it would seem like he is trying hard to impress her.

Women would be far more impressed by a man's material possessions if he does not mention them in conversation.

4. A man should never ask a woman is what she wants to do for the night, as she likes a "man with a plan".

The man needs to have a game plan before he calls her, so as to ensure that she will not be burdened with having to think about what to do.

5. A man should never ask a woman if she likes him, as this is one phrase that turns off a woman completely.

He should just assume that she likes him, and never ask the question, as it would look like he has no confidence.

6. A man should never ask a woman why she never answered his message, as one, it would show that he cared she did not reply back, and two, it would give her a guilt trip, which is seen as insecurity by women.

7. A man should never ask a woman how men she has slept with, as this shows that he is suffering from insecurity.

8.  A man should never hint at a future date with a woman he has just met, as she not only wants but needs a guy who is somewhat of a "challenge", and will lose interest if she senses she has won.

9. A man should never end a phone conversation with a woman with a "next step", as firstly it would kill any spontaneity by being predictable, and secondly he would kill any chances of her calling him.

10. A man should never talk bad about a woman's guy friends especially if he hasn't met them and doesn't know her very well, as this is the fastest way for her to mark him as "insecure".

Maybe your answer will help me decipher d angle you r coming from @ur topic.

CERKEYNAH:
Do I need to submit my transcript? I had my first degree from OAU. Just want to know please.
Submission of transcript to the PG office and the department of interest is a general pre-requisite in the admission process irrespective of where you graduated from.

Also, since it's not specified on the portal dt graduates of OAU r excepted as per transcript submission, I will advice you to submit ur transcript as required (better to be on a safer side)

CareerEvery Successful 30-something Learned These 4 Things In Their 20s by Stycon(op): 10:46pm On Jan 05, 2015
Some people spend a lifetime asking the question: What should I do with my life? Figuring that out isn't easy — and often it can take a lot longer than you thought it would. But while you're travelling through your career in an attempt to answer that question, there are some consistencies you can rely on. There are characteristics you can and should develop, unrelated to specific job descriptions, that will help you on your way no matter what. 

These next four skills will stay with you for life. Mastering them early on will save you lots of headaches. As simple as they may seem, you would be surprised how many people can master them, even when they have had 40 years to try. 

While you can learn to make money day trading or investing in property, those skills are very linear and don’t always apply to everything you will do in life, especially if you have no interest in them. Here are the four essential things you need to learn in your 20s in order to continue being successful down the road.

1. Time Management

Knowing how to manage your time is a skill very often overlooked and one that will allow you to remain productive even when family and routine settle in, in your 30s. Mastering the art of getting more done in less time is the only way to guarantee your continued growth despite life’s circumstances.
The core concept to learn with time management in your 20s starts with your ability to know yourself enough to stick to your own deadline, followed by your ability to know when and how to delegate. Ultimately, learn to never make excuses  for not having enough time.


2. Self Motivation

Before you get to the real world, you only have your teachers in high school and uni to keep you motivated until graduation. Unfortunately in real life, there are only two forms of motivation: internal and external. Your teachers are now replaced by a boss and the only real form of motivation is the one you have to find within yourself.
You have to learn very early on that no one but yourself can ignite or put out the flame within you. The core to self motivation is to become aware in its purest shape that we are born alone, and die alone, and therefore us and us alone, must decide how badly we want something and what we are willing to do to get it.

When we align our goals to realistic working expectations, we tend to hit more benchmarks as we progress towards those very same goals, enhancing our confidence along the way and re-enforcing our belief in ourselves.

3. Business Ownership

Too many people wait until the very last minute to learn how to start, operate, and fail in business. Elon Musk recently said in his 60 Minutes interview that he never believed Tesla would succeed, but anything important enough is worth trying even if it is likely to fail.
While you don’t have to re-engineer the way mankind thinks about energy in your 20s, you can still get a taste of business by taking smaller attempts at it by understanding and learning the different components that make up a good versus bad business. The earlier you are exposed to this, the less risky it seems in your 30s as you will have been exposed to much more.

Try starting with basic selling skills either in person or online, learn how people make purchasing decision, experience the accounting nightmare it can be, and most importantly, feel the insecurity small business owners have.

4. Financial Markets

Money, money, money… if you don’t understand how money works, you can’t learn to make any. We are not referring to stocks here, we are referring to the simple idea of understanding supply and demand, financial markets both domestic and international, but also how credit markets work.
Most of this information is free and available online on over a dozen sites. It’s simple but very critical to your ability to understand how money is made worldwide, and where it is a fit for you to also make some. The most important aspect remains the understanding of supply and demand, which allows you to understand how people make buying decisions and how value is put on goods and services.

This intricate aspect of finance can set you very far ahead of others who, even after owning many successful businesses, don’t really get it.

abeg wich kin Qs dem ask u...any hint wud be useful...i wan score 90 too...
It abt your passion (for marketing)...those "why you wanna do it" questions, where you see yourself in some future time and some normal interview questions...

Just be yourself when answering the questions and always know the "why" for every question couple with answers that the guys at the other end (HRs) wld expect from someone that is to fit the position at hand( but I will advise to be your reasonable self)

Hope this help?All the best bro!

RomanceRe: Reasons Why You Should Date A Shy And Introvert Guy. by Stycon(m): 11:22am On Oct 13, 2014
Jeez! You are kidding right?

I only agree with the "good listener" part. Mind you, this is not exclusively an attribute of an introvert.

As for cheating, like seriously! sad every natural guy has the tendency to cheat or whatever you call it.

Not intimidating or what? Lol you don't have to be an introvert b4 you know how to treat a girl rightwink

For cry out loud, you mean the guy is nocturnal? So you guys only go out in d night...can't imagine how boring that will besadWao! Buh he is not a party typesmiley

Hmmm back then at grt Ife, it's usually d introverts that sits at front row 'cos they dnt wanna talk to nobody and for "x"-reasons

*sigh* nice write up anyway wink

buh I was taught not to fall into the pit of fallacy of generalisation in my Phil 10...so you ladies might wanna take some caution- pill while experimenting the content...


Oh! I use to be an introvert...buh, am kinda in btw now...meaning, I'm not taking sides

RomanceRe: She's Driving Me Crazy....please Help by Stycon(m): 1:18am On Dec 31, 2013
Caracta: Women are wired differently but we have the same heart-beat. I don't think what you did was wrong but she expected you to protect her. You should have explained to her dad what she was doing with you? Did you apologize?

You really need to talk to her. Be genuinely interested in her. Look out for her. Help her achieve her goals. Show that you care. Be her friend. Help her become a better person. Focus on her and you will win her heart. It works!

Personally, a guy that sings "pls date me, I love you" every minute is a huge turn off. Make me love you helplessly with your actions. Help me to become a better person. Help me to grow. Be my friend. Be genuinely interested in me. I don't need the flowers or the poems, I need your heart. I go for quality.
Great!
