na real wah lol

lol, alright Ben, what u mean?

let the profile be, let's drop all info hia.

a reasonable post turns joke.

Thank God for intuition, I can spot someone age range by reading their posts. Anyway, age has little to do with maturity. I have seen foolish people in their thirties not better than silly teenagers, and I have seen wise teenagers who are older than their ages.

Anyway, it takes a mature mind to spot a mature mind. If you come to nairaland for a date and end up dating a minor, then it is your fault. Nl isnt all about dating.

Anyway, good luck to the searchers.

lol

I am sorry if you think my input was not nice,. Anyway, I was not directing the bulk of the messages at you but at the general readers. If you read my message very well, you will observed
that I said "Anyway, age has little to do with maturity. I have seen foolish people in their thirties not better than silly teenagers, and I have seen wise teenagers who are older than their ages"

So I know I cannot really be fooled.

Now on the area you typed in bold. Let me use the opportunity to something very critical. I have been on NL for long to know that people do fall in love and some also end up dating. The question is, with the age and real identity hidden, how do you know who you are dealing with?

The answer depend on your level of maturty as well. I think it is silly to fall in love with someone you dont know. And for you to actually fall for someone, you will be in possession of some facts about that person. So the best way is to be alert while talking to the person. I look at the way the person react to issues. No matter how sensible a person is, his age will show in conversation eventually. All you have to do is vary the level of discussion. Let say for instance, you are discussing history and someone told you about an event that happened, say, in 1960. If you are smart enough, you will know whether he is narrating the story from source or he actually witnessed it. I used a variaty of methods. History, ideals, values, and response to certain situations. That is why I said "thank God for intuition". Not everyone of us are gifted to spot such things.

So my friend, befre you fall for someone where faces are hidden and profile also removed, always ensure that you have talked to that person. Personally, I dont have to talk. The first thing I do is go to their past posts. It is on nairaland. If you take pains to read people's past post, you will see how they responded to varrying issues. Naturally, you can make a fair prediction of the age range of the poster.

All in all, my advise is that people should always allow time for broader communication before jumping into serious matter of the heart. I know many with lustful mind will not agree with me. But there are many who have seen a fine face on a profile only to behold a ugly face in real life. And there are people who are suffering from multiple personalities disorder. And there are some real psycho whose mind function well only when dealing with an imaginary image, and nairaland provide a perfect place for them. In real life, they are candidate for mental homes. So what should you do?

My friends, nailand is an interesting place. Just watch how people respond to simple insult and you will know who is still under medical treatments and who is yet to understand he need a good psychiatrist.

Anyway, I can write on and on, I believe that suffice for now, At least you know I know what I am talking about. Any other question, I wil gladly reply you.

i understand wat u saying, but its not always true in all cases, there are very young peeps who make alot of sense here, so if your bases for falling for someone is what they type, then i'm sorry but u will be fooled. i must confess that i have met most of the intelligent peeps here on NL and blive me most of em are below 19.

and for me wat attracts me first in a person is their intelligence, b4 i start looking at anything else, thats why peeps like ujujoan, plat, The Amaka, Tope, and co seems to fascinate me, though they are not minors, lol, but i know other very intelligent peeps as well that are far younger, i dnt wanna mention names sha. and i think falling for someone u havent seen but felt prolly thru words is better , cos then u wont be carried away by physical beauty, i mean out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh which of course is a true reflection of the individual, and if they end up being cute, cool thats will be be icing on the cake.

thats why i have always admired the blind, dou i dnt wish to be, lol, cos they only hear and fall in love, to me thats true love, cos they really aint moved by wat they see, which of course fades with time.

NOTE: i have said this thread is not all about relationships. we need to know who is who.

i am bit speechless. Anyway, if you think it is not all case that you can spot a minor by their words, then it is done! I know people will disagree with me on this anyway. You can as well be told that there are people who can roughly predict your personality by just taking a look at your hand writting. I am sure many people are not aware of that as well. They just know that most companies ask for handwriten application letters even after getting all the facts on printed cv.

I however maintain that xou can roughly evaluate people by hearing them talk, or even read their words.

It isnt about relationship alone. It is in all spheres of life.

So let get to know who is who here by followhng your criteria.
