How Can Nigerian Men Be More Romantic? by olunifemi(f): 9:00pm On Apr 08, 2007 |
Romantic Comrades, Words have been going around the world that Nigerian men are not romantic at all. All they know is 'babe whats up, can i insert my manhood in you?". All of you know that buying flowers, chocolates etc is not our culture, but why are these women complaining? Is it not these same women that will curse you if you go to their house in Naija with flowers instead of a bowl of tastee fried chicken on your left hand and a recharge phone card on your right hand? --- Nigerian women, what else do y'all want men to do in order to pass the romantic test? Guys, what do you think you can do to update your romance library? happy easter to you all. |

ikamefa: Seems her definition of "romantic men" starts and ends with receiving gifts. |

Sometimes Naija women always think that most naija men are not romantic and here is my argument. If this is really true, then it happens that women have not taught them. Men cannot learn romantic treatment from men, assuming that most Nigerian men are heterosexual. If this is really true, then it happens that men have not imbibed romantic values from their parents. Our moms never treated our dads romantically and our dads never treated our moms romanctically as defined by western standard. If this is really true, then its becuase women have not challenged Naija men to be more romantically involved instead of serving as breadwinners, bill payers and providers. If this is really true, then its becuase women have not prefered chocolates and flowers over recharge cards, Tantalizers and Mister Bigs |

being romantic doesn't mean buying your girl expensive gifts. you can be romantic even if you down have much money. Being romantic is seen by the act itself and not measured by how much material things you can give your girl. You can Burn your girl a CD of her favorite songs, call her to just to say you miss her, send her sweet text messages, cook her favorite food sometimes, walk in the park while holding each others hand, do wholesome activities together, go to church and profess your love for her in front of the altar, the list are endless, |

evil_mia: that's sweet. I would try that. Write her a special song and sing it to her on your wedding. My aunt did that on her wedding. Everyone became a mushy mess of emotions. |

@ topic, i think that is going to definitely be a task for a lot of women because a lot of naija men are so rooted in their idea of the women catering to their every cry and every need, that they don't realize that the need of romance. For those who have adopted romance, they are lucky men that a lot of women would die for. omoge: In addition to omoge's wonderful list - those lil' phone calls just to make sure that she's okay. |

It sounds queer for a man to be romantic or affectionate. That is no way in a man's nature. I want to believe it's desperation that makes people resort to such standards. What you are asking for is an effeminate man. A man love for power and a woman gives up power for love. A union of this standard brings harmony. The equation is power for love and vice v. for the woman. An affectionate man, ha - that's funny and so unrealistic. It doesn't go well with a man's nature. The essense of masculinity is power and a woman adjusts to the man she loves. As for the chicken and flowers, I don't believe in such rituals. All I know is that you pay your bride-price and whatever it is, you meet up to it lest you have stolen someone. They hardly practice this but once upon a time, every culture did it. Divorce rate sky-rockets because prerequisites are not met for a marriage in a proper foundation. |

Have you watched children while playing. Even when its bedtime or time to go home they actually don't feel like leaving each other. Thats almost a replica of being romantic. Sometimes a lil critic does it. Reminding him that he's actually not Handsome |
Re: How Can Nigerian Men Be More Romantic? by Nobody: 4:44am On Apr 10, 2007 |
Enough of these blaabing!!! In Nigeria, the defination of being romantic is MR BIGGS, TANTERLIZER, SILVERBIRD GALLERIA, RECHARGE CARDS etc. While being unromantic are: sending flowers, buying choclates and sending love sms.( i was an example of the humiliation, even with my little good looks and gentlemanliness) As regards to western defination of romance. Is it dating or marrying somebody for a year or two and then divorcing immediatelly? Even though the naija man need to improve a little, he should be respected for his balance most times. |

by being yourself and thinking more of the lady. spending quality time with her. your natural romance will follow. i.e strolling holding hands, writing poems about her, taking her on a treat, etc |
Re: How Can Nigerian Men Be More Romantic? by manspirit(m): 5:17am On Apr 10, 2007 |
Phone conversation bayo: hi chichi how would u like 2 go to silverbird with me? chichi: oh baby u are such a darling i'll get ready soon bayo: call me when you are ready chichi: i dont have credit on my phone, can u send me credit. now that's a typical naija chick you open the door she still wants you to walk her in while the door can only take one person at a time. |

Re: How Can Nigerian Men Be More Romantic? by drerudite1: 5:27am On Apr 10, 2007 |

Re: How Can Nigerian Men Be More Romantic? by Nobody: 7:46am On Apr 10, 2007 |
@Mansirit Thanks and kudos to you too. @Topic In Naija; when chics say you are romantic or the boy is good, that means you've been spending heavilly on them. If you get money, chiks go call honey(romantic); if you no get, them go call you monkey(unromantic). SO SOMEONE SHOULD EXPLAIN BEING ROMANTIC to me. |
