What adds to the mystery is that most of the women are themselves mystified by their own choice. When pressed, however, many respond by saying “Because I love him”; emotional attachment to the abuser is one of the primary reasons battered women give for why they choose to stay. From an evolutionary psychological perspective, love and other emotions are proximate mechanisms that compel organisms to engage in behavior that, in the context of the ancestral environment, would have increased their inclusive fitness. The fact that women themselves are mystified by their own choice when they follow their emotions and stay with their violent partners seems to suggest the possible operation of evolutionary logic to which the women do not have complete conscious access. But what possible reproductive benefits can staying with violent mates have, when such women are often severely injured, sometimes killed?

I am emphatically not suggesting that women have a preference to mate with violent abusers instead of gentle, kind, and resourceful millionaires. Given the choice, any sane woman would prefer the latter to the former. However, the process of mating is far from random or unrestricted; no woman (or man) has an entire range of potential mates to choose from. Due to the highly socially structured and constrained nature of meeting people, which results in assortative (nonrandom) mating, the choice that some women unfortunately face is often between [bold] unemployed, uneducated, unintelligent, unmotivated, alcoholic men who are violent, and unemployed, uneducated, unintelligent, unmotivated, [/bold] alcoholic men who are not. My suggestion is merely that, under some circumstances, women may have been selected to prefer the former to the latter. Some (present-day) losers may be better than others, especially in the context of the ancestral environment. There is even some evidence from field experiments from four American cities that employed men are more likely to batter their wives than unemployed men.

7penwriter: If we all choose the city,how then do we educate bulk of illiterate who are living in the village.

Life is unfair. There can't be job for everybody is the city, after all places are filled, the other people will resort to the village.
But.. if its to choose, be wise Oooh...
buh... ultimately, LIFE IS UNFAIR

Shoo...

Goodluck!

NAIRALAND SHOULD HAVE A CHATROOM FOR STUFFS LIKE THIS

ifyalways: Seriously how stupid and daft can one get
One lousy fella, wakes up and hears or manufactures some papal bulls then comes online to sing "this is igbo culture, I heard my mom say this" etc and folks like seriously believe that?

No where in igboland is such a "sick imagination" pratised please.
The real deal is if a man co-habits with a woman without paying her dowry and marrying her properly in the traditional way and the woman dies unfortunately in his house, he has to pay her dowry properly before going ahead with the funeral rite.

we are Africans ma'am. even if it's unreal, you shouldn't dispute facts like this.... coz this is Africa... guess you're new to the continent

and oh.. you can just write your stories cutely and either sell it, pitch to the contact i give you or you sell it to me. i know my way (a bit) in the industry.

according to the poll, being a stripper is better but you have to know that your integrity and image wont ever be the same after your first night.
look all around you, there are many opportunities, i dunno where you're from or what you are but if u're willing, you can think about this few points:

1.) you want to be a stripper means you are not shy at all then, u can open a MINI NOODLES KIOSK, you sell flavoured noodles (surf the net to know best ways to know the cheapest means to make them or simply use nairaland), you are in a university so, you can definitely fry bean cakes and yam (add suya pepper to give it flavour)

2.) you have 5 siblings, ur mum is a widow and you're thinking about getting naughty then, you've gotten a great story for a great resumé/ CV for this:
There are many Nigerian news paper company that will pay you for writing real stories about what happens about your daily life. you can simply freelance for them or apply for a column (reasearch!!!)

3.) The third one. If you feel like acting, i will connect you to a/ some major actors in Nigeria. (They will request for your body at one time or another, it depends on how you will handle them).

4.) have a plan... sugar daddy till i make 500K and then what? or till i get HIV and then what

5.) If you're willing, you can explain a little about your environment and some of us might give u ideas on what to do.

6.) Some of us can sponsor you but credibilty is not one of the quality most of us Nigerians possess.

7.)I wish you well and wont want you to think of any of those naughty choices, i know it's been tough on u to get this resolution but no great man or woman without scary tales (the common thing about them is that they all overcame)
Goodluck!!!

RealBitch: does a person elope from his/her father/mother land??

Then you support him. was the essence of opening this topic to impose this act or seek suggestions?

hmm... you cant remember by cramming... it will be useless if you dunno have any avenue of usage

wow... so African, so 'us'. can't he leave the place or just runaway? That's absurd!

has anyone ever come across BC and AD in calendars?? DO YOU THINK IT'S A COINCIDENCE OR AN ATHEIST OR CULT OR GROUP THING? YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK ME OUT...

The AD/BC method of identifying historical dates can be traced back to Catholic historians working in the early Middle Ages. Identifying historical dates until that point was often a complicated proposition, since different historians worked under different calendars. A Roman historian would have used the Roman AUD notation, in which Year Zero was the largely symbolic founding of Rome. Converting historical dates to the standard Gregorian calendar would not have been easy. Using the birth of Jesus Christ as a central point made more sense to the religious historians. The term BC is short for "Before Christ." Historical dates before the birth of Christ become smaller as they approach the
theoretical but non-existent Year Zero. Historical dates after the birth of Christ are classified as AD, short for the Latin phrase Anno Domini, or "in the year of our Lord." Contrary to popular belief, AD does not stand for "AfterDeath." The BC/AD system for identifying historical dates has beenin continuous use ever since the earliest part of the Middle Ages, at least. Several centuries after the AD/BC identification of historical dates became popular, a new movement developed among scientists, historians and some religious leaders. The time following the birth of Christ was now referred to as the "Vulgar Era" in some circles. The meaning of the word vulgar actually meant 'common' at that time, not distasteful or obscene. Eventually many areas of the Western world adopted the less Christ-centered term "Common Era." Historical dates occurring before the year 1 CE would be considered BCE, short for "Before Common Era." The relatively new BCE/CE reference for historical dates has had its share of supporters and critics. Critics view the new system as an attempt to remove the religious significance inherent in the BC/AD system. The BCE/CE method of assigning historical dates also fails to fix the BC/AD system's lack of a practical Year Zero. Modern scholars believe the actual birth of Christ would fall around 7 to 4 BC, which renders the actual year of 1 AD relatively meaningless historically. Supporters of the BCE/CE method of identifying historical dates say the removal of Christian references works as a bridge between different religions and cultures. The BC/AD system appears to endorse Jesus Chrjist as the superior world religious figure, which could be viewed as disrespectful of other religions and belief structures. Although the birth of Christ is still used as a reference in the BCE/CE system, the Christian influence is not as apparent.

That's how funny things can get when you try to meddle reality with science.
What we do seems good to us and cant imagine ourselves having any superior power who can call us to question at any time, so by trying "to be our boss" we are deleting the existence of the superior being by rounding up our mind that he doesnt exist...
So help us God!!!

logicboy: Huh? Thomas Aquinas argument has been debunked long time ago.

Why is there such ignorance among some christians? Only ignorant people use Thomas Aquinas arguments

debunked do u ever disproof reality?
can 2 + 2 be updated this shows how 'credible' ur judgement cant be...

Jamesmelbin: oh? Do I believe there are confused ones anywhere?. One will definately fall to these categories
*you believe God exist and have your own proof
*you believe God dont exist and have your own proof
*you believe God exist, just naturally without a reasonable proof
*you believe God dont exist, and you have no proof
The first two groups are not confused because they could prove what they believe. And, the last two groups are not confused too because they believed and never worried to find any proof.
But if someone believe God exist and still wants to get someone to prove to him that God exists, he might still be filed under the third group. And vice versa.

well then!!! readers should juxtapose ma comment to whichever group they 'think' they fit into...

Kay 17: you didn't exempt your god, as you used general terms to cover all existence

expansiate, as i'm being scientific you may wish to read my next piece...


I'M NOT TRYING TO IMPOSE MY BELIEF ON EVERY READER HERE BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT NOT ALL 30 KIDS IN A CLASS OF 30 CAN ALL BE SMART. SOME WILL STILL FAIL EXAMS IF ANSWERS ARE CLEARLY WRITTEN IN FRONT OF THEM...

Jamesmelbin: when it comes to this kind of an arguement, i count it as waste of saliva. An arguement with someond who wont succumb, ever?
Each persons belief should stick inside of him, no need of trying to convince someone to believe your belief. When the time comes the God that exist will be revealed.

not actually trying to convince the adamant ones but guiding against confusing the confused ones.

This argument ultimately is unsatisfactory as it confuses the idea with the reality, act with potency.
St. Thomas Aquinas next set forth the five proofs of the existence of God. These proofs are fairly well known:
Motion
Causation
Contingency
Degrees of Perfection
Design

Christian metaphysics, however, esteems vertical causality as the best natural proof of God's existence. Unlike the horizontal series presented in the five ways that stretch back historically until time and space become redundant, vertical causality is proved in the
present moment. That is, the fact of existence, of now, is proof of "God". This is declared since no object is the source of its own present existence, nor is any object responsible for its maintenance in time and space. Metaphysically, every moment is different, no object is the same as it was an instant before. This is because existence in time is particular to every specific moment. The way you were .01 seconds ago is not the way you exist now, for to exist now is a different thing then any other point of your existence. Since existence is not proper to any object, it must be a participation. Existence itself, that thing whose purpose is to exist, allows other things to partake of Existence here and now, in any given moment. The five proofs help define the nature of this Existence (intelligence, etc.) however, the fact that anything exists now is only because of a participation in Existence itself.

rubenic: Drill ke? Does that apply to people going for msc or phd too?

dunno buh someone close to me was there few weeks ago. he said he was given 'some' cheap physics and mathematics questionz... he was asked many questions (in a friendly way) about the course he's going for, the courses he'll take in the first semester, second... n co. nothing much sha as he became friends with the white guy n even asked the white guy some personal questions. tjust being bold, knowing what you want and... dunno frown ur face

Goodluck!

My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust? If the whole show was bad and senseless from A to Z, so to speak, why did I, who was supposed to be part of the show, find myself in such a violent reaction against it?... Of course I could have given up my idea of justice by saying it was nothing but a private idea of my own. But if i did that, then my argument against God collapsed too--for the argument depended on saying the world was really unjust, not simply that it did not happen to please my fancies. Thus, in the very act of trying to prove that God did not exist - in other words, that the whole of reality was senseless - I found I was forced to assume that one part of reality - namely my idea of justice - was full of sense. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never have known it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
