Why Are Naija Guys Not Romantic by ima1(f): 10:48am On Nov 03, 2006
why are Naija guys not romantic, they just seem boring, i've dated a few and it was boring, they don't even give you gifts and if they do, its a card, i mean what in the world will i do with a card.

I'm sure the thread speaks for itself,  Naija guys r romantic! grin
Romance is not all about what u can get off a man,  that doesnt prove how romantic he is. A card is even more romantic than many expensive gifts u can expect. Finally, u need to go look for work and a guy to shower some cash on, and then come right back and ask me how romantic that would be grin

is this is as a result of the "nigerian girls are not romantic" thread?

Nigerian men are not romantic. I am not talking about gifts. I'm talking about holding hands, a kiss on the lips when we meet in public and sitting outside at night cuddling and talking under the stars. I like those kinds of things; just showing a little affection every now and then and not just when we are about to have sex.

well maybe you havent mt the romantic ones (like me wink )
Re: Why Are Naija Guys Not Romantic by ima1(f): 5:09am On Nov 04, 2006
whitelexi, its not about money, i personally have never collected money from any guy i was dating, bcoz i have mine, which includes naija guys, i workand make my money so i don't need a guy spending his money on me, i can take care of myself. what i am trying to say is they don't show affection, they could come up with a better idea for gifts than cards, i am 22 years and i don't need a card.

LOL, I'm sorry if i sounded too direct but in matters like this, its always better to say it as it is. It may not apply to u but u passed some comments about not valuing a card and expectations of something more substantial,
Re: Why Are Naija Guys Not Romantic by ima1(f): 5:40am On Nov 07, 2006
apology accepted whitelexi. but i still stand by my word, if a guy gives me a card, i go use broom pursue am, if you no fit think of a good gift then no even make the effort.

Thats the basis of my argument, if u want romantic, trust me a card is more romantic than many other gifts u can get cool

Re: Why Are Naija Guys Not Romantic by candylips(m): 8:05pm On Nov 08, 2006

Different strokes for different folks i guess, just out of curiousity though, would u consider cash or a mobile phone + recharge cards more romantic?
Re: Why Are Naija Guys Not Romantic by ima1(f): 8:17pm On Nov 08, 2006
none, bcoz i will probably get a better phone than he can buy, n i don't collect cash from guys bcoz they always expect something in return. Now really good chocolate and flowers are a good idea, but not fake flowers with 2 kobo perfume on it
Re: Why Are Naija Guys Not Romantic by Free(f): 8:33pm On Nov 08, 2006
n i don't collect cash from guys because they always expect something in return

oh no u did not just say that lol, u sound like the kind of guy that will buy card, and there is no gold diggin tendencies with me because i can provide for myself, but it would be nice to know a naija guy's idea of a romantic gift, i think flowers (real flowers) are romantic, taking your lady out for a romantic dinner is nice, its not about how much you can spend, its not about the gifts, its about showing you care and if u wanna do it with a gift, just don't buy a card.
Re: Why Are Naija Guys Not Romantic by candylips(m): 9:16pm On Nov 08, 2006

Re: Why Are Naija Guys Not Romantic by Spinkz(f): 5:21pm On Dec 04, 2010
Ima1, that's not true, I was dating a Nigerian guy for couple of years he was romantic even though he was not affording a luxury life. The problem with Nigerians they are so aggressive and controlling.
Re: Why Are Naija Guys Not Romantic by MzWumi(f): 5:49pm On Dec 04, 2010
I don't understand why you feel that nigerians are not romantic. I have dated 3 nigerian guys in my lifetime including my husband, and all of them where romantic, they had no choice, because I am a romantic lady. The type of person you are is the type of person you will attract.
