egungun se bi eran , shaki se bi or ra --- idk bout the spelling

but the basic meaning is a person who trys to be what they are not; harder than they really are

it's spelled ora (w/ accent marks too. lol)

i don't think i know any proverbs off the top of my head so that's great that you know some

your welcome
microbraids are cool in fact.


wear scarfs/sleep-caps to bed (preferably silky ones. . they sell them in stores)so your style/ braids last longer w/o looking messed up.

ZuluNation:
Don't care for either.

we'd be worried if you did

Desmond.

Latoya, Greatpeter (GP), long time!!

Yeah, I missed you Timmy. . . sike!

just because he's cute and looks good doesn't mean he's gay.

Oh cool. timmy was here.
remember me? 'cause i remember you lol.

i was reading a newsweek article

supposedly, marriage a century ago was "mainly a practical arrangement to provide financial stability for women and a place to raise children" but it has basically become so idealized and people expect so much from it now. they look for not only "love and romance but also self-fulfilment and personal growth" and it's because of these reasons that marriage may be on the decline/ failing.

Not to mention women are becoming financially stable and self dependent

and i've been trying to figure out why arranged marriages worked so well. lol
problems probably only occur in these cases either when money runs short or there are fertility/child issues.

Uche2nna:
From what I gather from this thread, this is my summary:

When getting married, forget about the better; Settle for the worse.
_{sagging breast,additional pounds,disproportionate hips,receding hairline,potbellies,snoring,halitosis etc}

not exactly but don't idealize your partner/ marriage or believe marriage is some fulfiling utopia or something. things happen.

My opinion on cheating is that if you feel that you can't handle a marriage where your partner constantly cheats on you, by all means get a divorce.
but if you feel you can carry on w/o any problems, or that you can "work it out" then stay in it.

It all has to do with personal preference/emotional strenght I guess.

Donzman:
Yeah developing a pot belly isn't natural.

yes it is. and so is gaining weight after child birth.
they're natural
only some people are more pre disposed to it than others.

have you seen some skinny/average men with big bellies? i have

davidylan:
ok let's see the pic then we can comment! sista lets see u and your "african hair without chemicals"! I wonder what i'd call my own!

i modify my post. It's actually not 'african hair' per se. but the hair type is predominant in African/ descents.

don't be saying nothing bad about natural hair please. I keep my hair natural and i don't want any discouragements. . . hell who am i kidding. lol

@davidylan, i said natural African hair without chemicals.
what's unkept about that.

learn to love yourself please

It's not dreads. they're called twists

sista put her pic up once or twice.
she's beautiful. you'll fall in love with her smile. she's got natural hair too
