Romance / Re: Am Confuse by Thirst4Lif: 2:51am On Apr 15, 2011 |
but she told me she's into a very serious relationship of which i know she's kidding. Why would she say she already has somone if she were interested in dating you? That's not something a woman says to a man she wants to go out with. And why do you think she's kidding? I'd be interested to know each of your job titles. You may hit a stumbling block if she's a CEO and you're Head of Maintenance or have a lesser job title than her. That may sound trivial but sometimes it does matter. |

I can't believe the word obesity has come up just because the woman doesn't weigh 95 lbs. I've heard cameras add 10 pounds so she's really not has heavy as she may look to some of you, if that helps. |

Read she's using African dancers. |
Culture / Re: Raising Your Children The Nigerian Way When Married To A Foreigner by Thirst4Lif: 8:15pm On Apr 14, 2011 |
but I believe that there is a fundamental difference between my African household and their American one I have to disagree and perhaps you are being judgmental. Every American household I'VE ever entered has exactly the same values or rules for child rearing as the ones exercised in your home. I capitalized the word 'I've' because I'm only speaking from my own experiences. Of course some parents are going to be, what you and I would consider, lax in child-raising. And I'm sure this happens from coast to coast, from continent to continent. You have to do what you consider best for your children. Even if you allow your children to stay overnight at an in-laws, you have to explain to them that even though this or that is acceptable at someone else's home, it will not be tolerated by you and your husband. That's why it's called 'raising', the process takes years and years, but it sounds like you're on the right track! Job well done so far! |
Culture / Re: Nigerian (igbo) & African American by Thirst4Lif: 7:30pm On Apr 14, 2011 |
Is there a common belief that Americans aren't suitable for long-term relationships? It's really unfair to group all Americans. It's best to view each person separately regarding relationships. Some are good, some are bad. |
Culture / Re: Nigerian (igbo) & African American by Thirst4Lif: 7:12pm On Apr 14, 2011 |
Good advice regarding the cultural events. But surely those cultural differences don't include demeaming someone (or the women of that person's race) he's about to enter into a relationship with. @Sincere08 You are not dealing with an entire culture, your anxiety stems from ONE individual only. If your association with this man leads to marriage, it is HE you will have to contend with. Which is why I suggested you speak with the man himself and express your concerns. In regards to your question, "How should I express these sensitive issues to him?" Simply by saying to him, "There are some things we've discussed in the past that I have concerns about," and proceed from there. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Politics / Re: Free And Fair by Thirst4Lif: 5:43pm On Apr 14, 2011 |
So vote for the man who promises least, he'll be the least disappointing Well, that's one way to look at it. |
Celebrities / Re: Omot With Michael Bolton by Thirst4Lif: 5:31pm On Apr 14, 2011 |
Judging by their clothes, it doesn't even look like they're going to the same event. |
Culture / Re: African-Americans And Their Igbo Roots by Thirst4Lif: 1:28am On Apr 14, 2011 |
@Ezeuche, I see you're a typical traditionalist, and a tone of being a tribalist appears virtually in all your posts. I also notice that whenever someone posted something without mentioning IGBO, you immediately add the word in your next post.Nonsense! 1 Like |
Culture / Re: Nigerian (igbo) & African American by Thirst4Lif: 12:36am On Apr 14, 2011 |
He often compares me saying, "you are very different, such high morals to be American." That sentence alone would be a major turn off for me. Clearly he doesn't have very much respect for African Americans, which is laughable considering the heinous acts we hear about almost daily perpetrated on his own continent. Sounds like a white person saying to a Black person, "I'm not racist, but, " then they go on to say something derogatory against Black people. Your friend needs to clean up his comments. Let him know from the start you find remarks such as the one above very offensive. Do not let it fester or he will continue to say demeaning things like that to you. You're only 21 years old, there's no reason you should settle for anything in a man less than what you really desire! 2 Likes |
Jokes Etc / Re: Strangest Things You Thought As A Kid? by Thirst4Lif: 2:27am On Apr 12, 2011 |
As a child whenever I'd see an old photo of someone who'd passed away I always wondered, since they were dead, how the photographer got them to smile. |
Family / Re: Why Are Some Nigerians Leeches? by Thirst4Lif: 1:59am On Apr 12, 2011 |
Why are some of them like this and what's the best way to treat such people? Avoid them. |

Try to pattern yourself after Dangote instead of w.horing yourself online. |
Romance / Re: Is Out Of Sight Truly Out Of Mind To You? by Thirst4Lif: 5:03pm On Apr 11, 2011 |
Sometimes absence does make the heart grow fonder. Other times it makes the heart forget. That's why many long distance relationships fail. |
Romance / Re: My X-girl Friend Want Me Back by Thirst4Lif: 4:55pm On Apr 11, 2011 |
Remind her you are both married to other people and, unlike her, you take your wedding vows seriously. THEN tell her to bleep off like Mavor suggested! |
Politics / Re: The Royal Wedding And Its Rules And Ethics For The 1900 Guests. by Thirst4Lif: 4:43pm On Apr 11, 2011 |
Oddly I have no interest in Williams' and Kate's wedding whatsoever. I'm sure I won't even watch. The world was far more intrigued by his Mom and Dad's wedding day and marriage. |
Family / Re: How To Manage Your Money As A Married Woman by Thirst4Lif: 4:35pm On Apr 11, 2011 |
Some leave the crucial activity of financial planning to their spouse and run into trouble when there is a breakdown in the relationship. Very true. I've known a lot of cases where the husband makes sure his wife has no access and no idea of her husbands worth. I think this is the case with many wives when the husband is wealthy. It's to the husband's benefit to keep his wife in the dark should the marriage fall apart. |

No. Just shows her kneeling, then being carried away. Nothing offensive. |
Romance / Re: Should You Always Tell Someone You Love How You Feel About Them? by Thirst4Lif: 4:11am On Apr 11, 2011 |
How else will they know if you do not say? |

Give her time and don't push. She just came off a somewhat long term relationship as well. |

Family / Re: My Wife Is The Reason For My Success by Thirst4Lif: 3:58am On Apr 11, 2011 |
But sometimes I wonder why the intensity of love and kindness. This is a new one! I've seen complaints from men because the woman always wants money or because she cheats, never saw a complaint from someone who seems to have the perfect life. |
Nairaland / General / Re: Indonesian Woman Caned In Front Of Public For Having Affair (photos) by Thirst4Lif: 3:50am On Apr 11, 2011 |
Had to read almost to the end of the article to find out the man was caned as well. Where is his photo? |
