GHow to Help a Friend Quit Smoking
Can I really help someone who is trying to quit? • How do I begin?
What can I do to help? • What other things can I do to help? • Gaining weight
Handling urges to smoke? • What if I get annoyed?
Do smokers have withdrawal symptoms?
Should I tell my friend it was pretty easy when I quit? • I've never smoked. Can I help?
I'm a smoker myself. Can I do anything?
What do I do if my friend starts smoking again?
How long do I need to help? • Resources • Links you can use
Can I really help someone who is trying to quit smoking?

Yes. Once a smoker has decided to quit, they are most likely to make it when friends and family give their help and support. If your friend hasn’t decided to quit yet, you can help them think of  reasons for quitting, set a target quit date and offer to help in any way you can.

How do I begin?

First of all, quitting is different for each smoker. So, ask your friend how you can be most helpful. This will show that you care and that you really want to help.

Maybe you've already tried to help someone and they weren't successful. That's okay. Remember you can be a big help, but it's not your fault if they aren’t successful this time.

What kinds of things can I do to help the smoker trying to quit?

Tell your friend that you think she can make it this time - even if she has tried to quit before and failed. In fact, most smokers have to "practice" quitting a few times before they quit for good.
For the first few days after the smoker quits, be ready to help. He may want to talk all the time or he may just want extra help when a tough situation comes up, like a coffee break, a party or after a meal.
Offer to call or visit to check on how she is doing. Ask how she's feeling, not just whether or not she's still not smoking.
No nagging, scolding or preaching - this just does not work. Instead, let him know how much you admire him for trying to quit.

PoliticsPhoto: I Know Where Chibok Girls Are Kept – Female Boko Haram Escapee by yahx(op): 11:34am On Mar 21, 2015
67-year-old Boko Haram escapee has revealed that her escape has given her an idea of where the kidnapped Chibok girls are being kept, as she recalls the horrors in the camps and how people were forced to convert to Islam.

The 67-year-old woman, Maryamu Bala, of Madagali, Adamawa state, who is now in a refugee camp in the state, says she could still locate one of the camps where she was taken near Sambisa forest because she used to fetch firewood in the area in her younger days.

Maryamu Bala reveals how Boko Haram force people to convert to Islam. She narrates how a stranger helped her escape the camp.
She also disclosed that she saw both Arabs and “pure white men” holding regular meetings with Boko Haram commanders, and helicopters dropping heavy equipment in one of the camps.

In relaying her experiences to a correspondent of Daily Times, she said; “My son, I saw devils, I saw cannibals and people who can do anything in the name of religion. My first three weeks in that camp also opened my eyes to the fact that the place is for training recruits as foot soldiers. We saw helicopters dropping things in cartons; heavy objects were always being unloaded using the captured victims under very hash instructions.”

She said she was separated from her daughter for about a month in one of the camps. She said she noticed “people every day going into the other part of the building amidst tight security. Some of the people resembled Arabs with long hairs, while some are pure white coming around having series of meetings.

“A girl who is one of the maids confided in me, ‘Mama, you see the other side of the camp is where Abubakar Shekau and top commandants are living. There are many girls of our age there, even me, they don’t allow me to go there’.

“When that young girl said that to me, I quickly remembered the story of the abducted Chibok school girls. Though I did not see them, my spirit told me they are in that camp,” she said

The woman who said she was abducted while on the farm with her granddaughter, said for several months she did not know the whereabouts of her daughter, but that when they were eventually reunited, her granddaughter was in such a bad state that she knew the young woman had been “defiled” by the insurgents.

The grandmother, who was forced to convert from Christianity to Islam, noticed many strange things in the brand of Islam practised by the insurgents, commenting that it was very different from that practised by her relations.

“They gave us Muslim veils and told us we were no longer Christians. They taught me to be meditating on a portion of the Koran daily… It surprised me so much that their kind of Islam is different with the one I know many of my relations are practicing in Madagali. They taught us to be worshiping at periods different from those I used to see my people observing when they are to pray. At times, East is not a compulsory direction of worship.”

An escape route came the way of the woman and her granddaughter one day through a stranger who had witnessed her emotional reunion with her granddaughter the previous day: “In the night, a man I never met walked up to where we were sleeping and told us, ‘I saw you crying yesterday and it touched my heart. I was kidnapped just like you for more than four years. But don’t worry, I will help you to escape —you and your daughter this night.”

The man came back later in the dead of night, woke the woman and her daughter and led them out of the camp.

She said; “My brother, we trekked in that evil forest until my strength failed me. When that man noticed I no longer had strength, he backed me. We trekked close to 30km till we got to a fenced place… from where the man said goodbye and we trekked for five days to reach Yola Adamawa State.”

The 67-year-old is not the only Boko Haram escapee to reveal details about what goes on in Boko Haram camps. A 14-year-old boy, Alaji, revealed how he was forced to partake in invasions of towns. Another escapee, a 20-year-old Christian woman narrated how she met 24 Chibok girls who she is sure are still alive.

EducationWhy Us-based Nigerians Send Kids Back Home For Education by yahx(op): 10:53pm On Mar 20, 2015
Some Nigerians tend to berate their fellow compatriots who send children abroad to study. Some, on the contrary, grudgingly admit that Nigerian education system pales in comparison with foreign ones. Naij.com’s guest contributor Mawuna R. Koutonin evaluates the situation from yet another angle: he talks about why Nigerians who emigrated to the United States of America choose to send off their kids back to their fiefdom to get education.


In Africa, Nigerians are the “big boys”.

They copulate a lot. Nigeria is the most populous country.

They are the best entrepreneurs. Nigeria is now the first economy in Africa. Lagos alone has a GDP equivalent to that of 25 African countries combined.

They are also lucky: Nigeria is the first oil exporter of the continent.

You don’t become triple champion by accident.

Big at home, Nigerians are also the best abroad.

They were the only Africans mentioned in the top-eight of best performing ethnic groups in the United States of America, in the best-seller book “The Triple Package” by Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld.

According to Chua and Rubenfeld, Nigerians have three distinguishing characters in common with Jews, Indians and Chinese: a complex of superiority, a feeling of insecurity, and impulse control.

Nigerians feel superior. Theirs is a country with the highest number of self-proclaimed “Princes”, “Princesses”, “Queens”. All have a story relating them to an ancestral kingdom or a king. They feel entitled to a high social status.

Nigerians are very competitive. When you come from a crowded country, you feel insecure about your part of the pie. Parents plug a “fighter spirit” in their kids early on.

Now, when it comes to the third factor, “impulse control”, I have hard time believing the authors. For me, the third factor stems from a unique practice by the Nigerian diaspora: sending their kids back home to attend primary or secondary school.

This is very counterintuitive.

Why would anyone living in the US send their kids back to Nigeria to study? The best schools are in the West, as a popular belief goes.

According to the Washington Post, “the decision made by families reflects a discomfort shared among immigrants from Africa. They don’t like … the lax public school system, the sense of entitlement that comes with living in a country so privileged.”

I asked a number of Nigerians why they have sent their kids back, and below is the list of reasons they gave me.

Reason 1: Kids getting in trouble

Early Nigerian immigrants were ‘America-lovers’. In Nigeria, they have dealt with whites who came to Africa as peace corps volunteers, missionaries, doctors or teachers. These whites acted as mentors or opportunity providers, therefore, most early immigrants have a positive opinion of them. These Nigerians trusted them, were eager to connect. That attitude exposed them to more opportunities.

However, their US-born kids usually have African-Americans friends with parents whose background makes them distrust the whites and believe their social and economic conditions are to do with the discrimination by whites.

Thus, sending kids back home is an attempt to help them prevent self-victimization, loss of self confidence, low expectations, and ‘getting in trouble’.

Reason 2: Damage inflicted by racism

A lady residing in the US told me a story: “My six-year-old first grader was spit on (in her face) by a white child. The faculty failed to see the historical connotation and poorly addressed it!

“In second grade, my 7-year-old (the only black kid in class) was “taught” in class about a black kid who hates his dark skin. Two issues here: this “lesson” opened up the possibility that didn’t exist for her: to hate her own skin, and it taught the white kids that black skin could be something to hate. They do not read about hating white skin, mind you. Drum roll… And the first lesson about Africa, again in second grade, is about how we don’t have running water, drink from dirty ponds, live in huts, walk to classes and crap under trees. I’m so done with white-superiority-style teaching!

“I am so done,” she repeated, desperate. “I can teach my kid academics. But it is hard to rebuild years of self-esteem after it has been crushed by your so-called teachers.”

Another worried Nigeria told me: “My son is five. Insanely brilliant and insanely hyperactive. I’ve been teaching him Math and other studies myself, and he can already do his multiplications, additions, subtractions, name all his planets, and so on. But PRE-K teachers are already complaining. I’m quite concerned about them ‘bending’ him.”

Structural racism, daily humiliation and denial of identity often break kids early in life. By sending their kids to Nigeria, US-based Nigerians are preventing them from being broken by a system they have no control over.

Reason 3: Schools in the US aren’t challenging the kids enough

“My boy is good in Science, Math. He plays tennis. And it was a big struggle with the school. They were not challenging him enough. They blamed him for acting out, when bored. We sent him back. That experience changed him,” said a Nigerian businessman.

Another Nigerian told me: “An Igbo couple in my old church were having real problems with their last one. They shipped him off to Nigeria. After two years, he came back. Grades went from 2.4 to 4.0 in high school. Except he’d do anything not to be sent back.”

Nigerians in the diaspora continue to think that schools back home are still with the iron discipline of the old days, and the old-time competitive spirit among pupils would yield better results.

Reason 4: Help kids connect with our culture

“Many of these top schools produce great African professionals with bright professional prospects, but not great African citizens,” complained a Nigerian.

Another, shared his son’s experience: “Whilst in Lifeforte [international school in Ibadan that admits both Nigerian and foreign students], my son went on excursion to Egypt organized by the school. Visited the pyramids, and the Valley of the Kings. The experience is invaluable. It has changed him. You can’t tell him Africa is barbaric. He is in a program for gifted children, now taking college level courses in Johns Hopkins.”

Few schools in Nigeria like Lifeforte, Vivian Fowler Memorial College, and Ibadan International School are now catering to the needs of the ‘homecoming’ diaspora.

A Nigerian IT consultant summarized it all: “Nigerians are, by far, more likely to consider or to execute this plan of sending their children of a certain age home for their education. I have seen the coursework and curriculum for some of these schools. The standards are higher, and more demanding than some of the best public school districts in the United States. These kids who go back home get to experience a highly competitive culture, and an elite culture, where the mindset they have is that “nothing is really out of reach”. The kids expect to attend Oxford, Cambridge, MIT. Children and teens are far more influenced by peer cohort than any parent would like to admit.”

The trend of sending kids back to Africa will definitely continue, as more and more Africans become aware of this opportunity and success stories.

Letter to Buhari from the grave of the innocents –
By Bashir Yusufu
Dear General Buhari; I would’ve addressed this letter privately to you, but in the expectation that you may not receive it, I decided to make it an Open Letter, in the hope that you would stumble on it, read it and hopefully feel some of the pains and anguish that have been my lot. Having said that, permit me therefore to proceed with the rest of this missive from the grave of innocents departed.
Last night, while I was at my modest home in Katsina, relaxing and probably half-awake, I heard the voice of my cousin who was killed in the North in April 2011 during the post-election violence instigated by your loss of the presidential election. With bloodshot sad eyes, my cousin, looking apparition-like, was wailing “Gen Buhari, why why”. My cousin’s name is (or was) Mallam Yusuf Danfulani, a bright young lad originally from Katsina State, who was slaughtered in cold blood and set on fire by youths chanting “Sai Buhari”, like they are again now chanting in 2015.
Gen Buhari, in case you have forgotten, Yusuf was slaughtered in your name even though he never did any wrong to you, and even voted for you against Dr Jonathan. He lost his life just because the murderers you encouraged by your many hate speeches believed Yusuf to be from middle belt or southern Nigeria, most probably because of his bulky looks and brave, patriotic attempts to prevent the killing of an innocent Youth Corper, Ukeoma Ikechukwu. Even though he cried out in Hausa and Fulfulde, he was still not believed by those you (Buhari) managed to brainwash to see all non-Fulani Nigerians as conspiring to vote against you. In this very case, Yusuf voted for you but his ‘Sai Buhari’ killers never believed he did. Like you, Gen Buhari, the mob was baying for the blood of innocents.
If not for Yusuf’s best friend who was with him and was himself nearly killed, we would not have recognized his charred body that was burnt beyond recognition. And thanks to the same friend for recounting to us the little he could make out at the last moments of Yusuf’s life, the agony he passed through and the most important words he uttered before he gave up. It is the same words I heard him utter last night from the grave: ‘Gen Buhari, why why’. Yet, to this day, you (Buhari) have not cared to apologize or show any remorse, but you instead offered lame excuses for the bloodletting you had instigated, and still instigate. I now ask you this: Gen Buhari, must you always shade blood, like you started doing from 1983, to rule Nigeria? Do you recall how you killed Brigadier Bako in 1983 just so you could take power by force from Shehu Shagari?
General Buhari, Ukeoma Ikechukwu himself was reported missing that same day Yusuf was murdered by your supporters, and finally confirmed dead the following day when his charred remains was discovered in a hooded area. Apparently, your supporters had dragged him out of the open and tortured him before finally snuffing life out of him. Like my cousin, Yusuf, Ukeoma was very young and an innocent. Unlike Dr. Jonathan, they were not contesting against you. Yet, when they were killed, part of Nigeria was killed with them; the same Nigeria that you are now angrily campaigning to rule.
Yusuf and Ukeoma were not alone. Six other innocent Youth Corpers were also murdered in Bauchi, where you Buhari, polled 1,315,209 votes (almost 82 per cent), defeating Dr Jonathan who scored 258,404 votes and did not even hit the 25 per cent mark. The corps members were reportedly chased to a police station where they sought refuge. But the rioters, who were raving mad with bloodlust and chanting “Sai Buhari”, overran the station and murdered the young Nigerians in cold blood. So, Gen Buhari, as you can see from the Bauchi result and it’s aftermath, your supporters even shade blood when you win; still you have no qualms. Today, you are prancing around the nation, arrogant and angry as usual, behaving like you have already won the election; and thus setting up another bloodletting if you are not announced winner.
The story of Obinna Okpokiri is as heart-wrenching as Yusuf’s. The 27-year-old was butchered and burnt to ashes, in the service of his fatherland. Okpokiri’s own circumstances were as gruesome as they could be. He had run to the Corpers’ Lodge as the rampaging ‘Sai Buhari’ rioters targeted Youth Corper polling officers recruited by INEC for the election. As painful death loomed, the young Nigerians contemplated fleeing to the barracks. But they were not lucky enough. Your ‘Sai Buhari’ supporters caught up with them, slaughtered and set them on fire. Like Yusuf, these innocents are human beings and future leaders on the last laps of fulfilling their national duty before moving on to a bright future. But it was not to be because, in your name, Gen Buhari, they were slaughtered, sliced, soaked in petrol and scorched. Reduced to ashes in minutes and in the most callous fashion by those that are not better citizens or humans than them.
General Buhari, while you are now busy inciting another violence, please bear in mind that in 2011, your supporters turned violent in whole 12 northern states as they burned the homes, vehicles, and properties of innocent Nigerians, some of whom are also Muslims and Northerners like you and my cousin Yusuf. Your ‘Sai Buhari’ supporters also targeted and killed Christians and members of southern Nigerian ethnic groups, who were seen as supporting the PDP, and they burnt churches across the north. One particular attack in Bauchi stood out as most heart-breaking. According to Human Rights Watch, on April 17 in Giade, a rural town in northern Bauchi, ‘Sai Buhari’ mobs attacked youth corps members in the town. The Corpers, who were mostly from Yoruba, ran to the local police station to seek refuge, but the mobs stormed the police station. The mob killed the police officer on duty and burned down the police station. They raped two of the female youth corps members and then hacked them to death with machetes, along with five male youth corps members. In total, rioters killed ten youth corps members in that town alone.
A lecturer at the Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, Zaria, Kaduna State, described to Human Rights Watch how a mob of Muslims chanting “Change, Sai Buhari” attacked and killed several Christian students, a Christian lecturer and four Muslim students suspected of being PDP sympathizers on April 17: He said “Between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m., they entered the school chanting slogans and shouting: “Where are the Christians and Muslims that supported the ruling party?” They had painted their faces black and were shouting that they needed “change”, the Congress for Progressive Change campaign slogan. The mob had all sorts of weapons – machetes, sticks, and clubs. They started breaking the glass on the buildings. The students ran away but the mob pursued them into the staff quarters and they had nowhere to go. The mob beat them to death. The lecturer they killed was Yoruba“.
Finally, Gen Buhari, let me end this letter by asking you this question: When are you going to apologize to me, to Yusuf’s aged parents, to Ukeoma’s parents, to parents of all innocents murdered by your brainwashed supporters, to Nigeria and to mankind? And here is Yusuf again, asking you from the grave: “Gen Buhari, why why”.
Bashir Yusufu.

PoliticsUN Supports Nigeria Violence Victims With. N5.6bn by yahx(op): 10:40pm On Mar 20, 2015
The United Nations Central Emergency Fund (CERF) has released 28 million dollars (about N5.6 billion) to support victims of the violence in the North-East zone of Nigeria.
UN Humanitarian Chief, Ms Valerie Amos, who disclosed this in a statement, said that the fund was meant to serve as a “life-saving relief” for people fleeing from violence in that part of the country.
A man lies in state hospital bed as he receives treatment for injuries sustained following a bomb blast that left dozens dead and many injured in Maiduguri, on March 8, 2015. Three bombings in northeast Nigeria's largest city of Maiduguri killed 58 people on March 7, 2015 and wounded 139 others, the area police chief said. Niger and Chad on March 8, 2015 launched major ground and air strikes in northeast Nigeria against Boko Haram, after the militants formally pledged allegiance to the Islamic state group in Syria and Iraq.

According to the statement, more than 1.2 million Nigerians have been forced to flee from their homes as a result of Boko Haram-related violence.
The statement added that over 150,000 people have fled to Cameroon, Chad and Niger, thereby putting strain on some of the most vulnerable communities in the world.
“The insurgency in the North-East of Nigeria is having a devastating impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
“This allocation from CERF will be used to support people in the most vulnerable communities who have been directly affected by the violence.
“It will provide them the urgently needed relief including food, clean water, shelter, medicine, protection and security.
“Especially for women and children who are been exposed to or have experienced violence and brutality in these areas,’’ it said.
The statement said that communities where the displaced persons had sought refuge were currently facing food insecurity, malnutrition and prone to outbreak of diseases.
It said that the CERF had last year allocated more than 8.7 million dollars to relief agencies responding to the regional impact of ongoing crisis in Nigeria. (NAN)

RomanceHow To Handle Anger In Your Marriage Or Relationship by yahx(op): 12:08am On Mar 20, 2015
Anger is normal and, when expressed appropriately, generally healthy. Anger that becomes out of control or destructive can harm your relationship with your spouse or partner. People need a certain amount of anger to survive, which explains the instinct to respond aggressively to what is perceived as a threat. In a relationship, however, rather than focusing on angry feelings, it is best to find the source of angry feelings and work from there to deal with it.




The Angry One Is You
Chronically angry people often have difficulty seeing the effects they are having on the people closest to them. If you recognize your anger, you are a step ahead of many. Pay attention to what triggers your anger. Do you feel tense when you leave work every day? Do you wait until you get home to unleash your anger on your partner? As soon as you begin to question your thoughts and take note of the behavior you exhibit when you feel angry, you will be heading in a new direction.

Communication
The last thing people who love each other want to do is hurt one another. The American Psychological Association states that expressing, talking about or venting anger over and over can cause it to intensify and escalate. Brainstorm with your partner to find the source of your anger. When one partner is chronically angry, the anger is often directed toward a loved one, according to Stosny. He calls this the law of blame. In fact, the anger could come from somewhere other than the partner, such as past traumatic experiences, work or just a low tolerance for frustration.

Anger Management
Couples should learn how to express and acknowledge anger while managing and containing it to avoid hurting their partners, says Nancy Hudson of the Ohio State University Extension in the article, "Dealing with Anger in a Marriage." Begin by being open and honest and calmly communicating your anger to your spouse. Avoid letting your anger get out of hand. Refuse to blame or belittle your partner. Explain to your spouse why you are angry. Take action to make a change or to do something about the cause of the anger.



When you are angry with your spouse you can walk away in other to conrol your anger

Try not to talk beacuse you may say something which you will regret later

When you are angry avoid argument it may trigger you to do some lame thing



If angry take a deep breath
Count 1-10 in a descending order so as to. Calm yourself

RomanceSeriously Questionable Things People Have Done In The Name Of Love#read This! by yahx(op): 10:34pm On Mar 19, 2015
This story is probably best suited to be in the annals of the stupid, yet true, romance stories.

Ten years ago, I was just out of the university when I met this girl. She was young, beautiful and her smile just lit up the room. I was a nerd, physically unattractive and never been in a relationship. I was also very naive as events turned out. It was my first relationship. I had never had success with girls. I came from a ‘psychologically inadequate’ family background and had serious self esteem issues.

Four months into the relationship (I will not bother to waste the reader’s time narrating how we happened to be dating), she came crying to me one day. Her brother was ill, had been ill for a week (I eventually found out he had been in the hospital for six months at the time), and needed a kidney. Their only surviving relative was unwilling to donate hers and she was worried that her brother would just die.

(An aside, I live in a third world country and there is nothing like waiting for an organ donor. If you needed one, you would have to hope for someone you know to donate it or die a long and painful death.)

Then came the torrent of tears from her pretty face and I knew that I was going to do something really crazy. I volunteered to donate a kidney. She looked at me in disbelief. You can’t be serious, she sniffed. But I was. I assured her that if I was a good match, I would donate one and her brother would not have to suffer much longer. I was young and very healthy. I figured that there was nothing to lose and a lot to gain by being the hero in her eyes.

Knowing that my family would never agree to such an action on my part, I didn’t tell them anything until a day to the surgery. The hell they raised is better imagined.

Fast forward to one week post operation. She came to see me since I was leaving the hospital that day. She was full of gratitude. She was full of life. Her brother’s surgery was successful. She would be eternally grateful to me. She would be happy to spend the rest of her life with me. And so on. I felt like the king of the world. That such a stunningly beautiful girl would feel indebted to me gave me the best feeling in the world.

But things didn’t remain so pretty for long afterwards. She began to give excuses for not coming to see me. If I called to ask if I could come over, she would make up funny reasons why not. She was busy. She was out of town. She was tired. She was having a mood swing and didn’t want to see anybody. Eventually, two months after my good, eh, stupid deed, she broke up with me. Her reason? She didn’t want to waste her time with a sentimental fool. Her exact words.

(I found out later that the ‘brother’ in the hospital was in fact her long time fiancé whom she loved very much.)

Since then, my already low esteem is yet to fully recover from the blow that being in that relationship dealt me. That was my first and possibly the last relationship I will ever be in. I was a fool indeed.

Romance8 Reasons Men Fall In Love With Good Girls by yahx(op): 7:28pm On Mar 19, 2015
While men always and will always like bad girls, the good girl is the one they fall in love with and commit to possibly for the rest of their life. Aside from the fact that good girls are a rarity, what makes them so irresistible and lovely that men feel compelled to surrender their freedom to them?

1. She’s loyal


Being faithful is very important to men and it goes beyond the sexual part: a good girl will stay by her man’s side no matter what. Life is a very dangerous adventure with ups and downs and a man can’t always be at his 100%. He can get sick or get involved in big troubles; during those times he won’t be as bold, dominant, sexy, reliable and powerful as usual.

Smelling the frailty and the open wounds, the vultures he usually protects her from will try to steer her away from him, be it with seduction, money or alluring promises of a better life. In this age of short term everything, temptations are strong, but the good girl always valiantly resists them.

2. She’s honest

She’s an open book: she cries and instantly shows her emotions when she’s hurt, letting you know what you did wrong so you can apologize and fix it right away instead of letting it drag for months. Also, she does not manipulate to get what she wants. Instead, the good girl rarely asks for anything, because you often feel naturally inclined to help her anyways.

3. She’s sweet


Sensitive, her eyes will light up, her face will soften and her mouth will slightly open when you hold your piercing gaze on her a little too long. Telling her she’s pretty will make her smile and make her genuinely happy instead of flattering her ego.

Innocent, she is unaware of the ugliest and darkest aspects of life because she did not partake in any of it. Her lightness makes you forget about the harsh cruelty of the world and brings out the joy and playfulness that still reside somewhere inside you.

Vulnerable, she unknowingly brings out your protective instinct, something that never happens when you’re around other girls. When someone hurts her, it’s like watching an ivory tower on a flower field filled with unicorns being obliterated by a horde of garbage trucks pouring rotting trash and plastic goo all over the place. That makes a man truly enraged and fills him with unique emotions of violence and righteousness.

4. She’s forgiving to the point it haunts you

Men can sometimes be cruel in moments of anger, saying extremely hurtful words or doing unforgettable actions. But the good girl is able to forgive you the worst things you can possibly have done to her. She doesn’t hold grudges: when you did her wrong, she actually prays for you to have a better life and hopefully come to your senses.

Her greatest weapon is her ability to be so kind and compassionate to the point it makes you angry at yourself for falling short. This makes a man puzzled and forces him to face what he did and solve the problem instead of having endless arguments that lead to nowhere.

5. She’s supportive



She is the kind of girl who puts other’s people needs before hers. She will support you in your endeavors by encouraging you to work harder and constantly telling you that you’re strong and that you’re the best. If you’re sick, her nurturing instinct will instantly kick in and she will concoct special potions for you to make sure you have everything you need to get back on your feet.

6. She listens

Compassionate and empathic, she listens to others, gives good advice and is wise beyond her years. She brings you a perspective that you would not have, one that comes from a different world than yours. She doesn’t criticize, back talk or interrupt you when you speak; conversation with her is easy and it makes you feel cozy and relaxed after your long, confrontational day of hard work.

7. She pushes you to be a better man

When she knows you have a very important goal, she helps you attain it and she wants you to improve yourself instead of holding you down for fear of losing you. When you fail terribly, instead of letting you marinate in your misery, she appeals to your pride by telling you gently and calmly that you have to man up and face your situation. But most importantly, she greatly motivates you to be a good man by being a good woman herself.

8. She’s hard to find

Finally, the good girl has been mistreated and misunderstood in the past five decades. Constantly under pressure to conform to other girls, taken advantage of by seductive men, bored to tears by slimy “nice” guys, her existence and future are in question. So to those good girls who are being ignored and forgotten in this world of meaningless flings, confrontational social interactions and interchangeable relationships, we know you exist, we value you and we love you.
