Gerrard59: I know you’re not asking me but the answer is not complicated. Those men who want different women while still married can start by being honest at the beginning of the relationship. Let the woman know that’s what you are into. There are so many women who are okay with sharing their husbands as long as the man fulfills his part of the bargain whatever that looks like in their specific situation. The problem is men most of those kind of men don’t go for the women who are open to such arrangements. They want who no want them and the beginning of all their problems. As for men whose wives refuse to sleep with them, divorce is always an option. Marriage no be by fire or force sha. But I’ve even heard some women say when they’re older they won’t want sex. They don’t mind if the man gets it elsewhere as long as he’s discreet. If such a guy isn’t scared of getting HIV from side chicks, he can explore those options. Or if he’s one man one woman guy, he can still insist on a divorce and have a new wife who is willing to sleep with him. 5 Likes 1 Share |

pocohantas: He is gaining SEX, and yes I know the logic doesn't make sense for women but SEX is something men actually gain or work for, because men pay for it directly or in-directly. Women get SEX free, so it's never something worth anything to women. 2 Likes |

Many of them won’t say anything because the girl they want doesn’t want to share.

Gerrard59: I have not fought men or argued with men for their polygamy.its when they start demanding virtue from women and start trying to hold women accountable I have a problem. He,resents women for hypergamy but will want to exercise his polygamy. Ask him what a good woman is ,and it will revolve around depriving herself the very biological need of every living thing,which is sex and also denying herself the right to hypergamy(marrying a man that earns 50k) What will women gain? Him.and the idiot pansophist,always are gatekeepers for prescribing punishment for women. But will ascribe to men weaknesess as "natural". These are people that if they caught pants down with their secretaries,they will say "my flesh overcame me" But will scorn a rich man mistress as belonging to the streets. That is why I respect you and ubunja,none of you both have ever resented women for their hypergamy. Do whatever you want as a man.just stop preaching to women. Even Jesus in his entire life was preaching to men alone. Monkey face should know better,as he is a religious person At the bolded then why is it always women fault when they fall for the wrong guys and make errors?why does judge her by her past exist? If we are being lenient in judging men because is biological,then why can't we be lenient in judging women for being the weaker vessels? It is very natural that a young beautiful woman will be with the top alpha men and when she is no longer beauty she will settle for the average man. Or a woman will carry the seed of an alpha male, and when he has moved on,an average man will have the burden of taking over and carrying for her and her offspring? Why can't men also accept the naturally fickle women nature as highlighted above too?why must they be punishment for women for even breathing. One man told me I shouldn't blame men for cheating that we women tempt men. I replied,don't blame women that do hookup and runs,men tempt them with me money too. Off course he insulted me 8 Likes 4 Shares |

Tightpussy2024: To be honest, I used to be angry at female Hypergamy especially as a young man but with time I don’t really blame women anymore. One of my neighbors wife in Nigeria passed on recently and this woman was a very good woman. She lived in very pitiful conditions all her life till she died. This was a woman that came from a middle class family at least by Nigerian standards in the 70s and 80s but married a poor man for love. The man never made it unfortunately and they were always suffering. Her siblings resented her for marrying the husband and ultimately resented the husband. It wasn’t even up to 4 months after this woman died that her husband started posting another woman’s picture on his WhatsApp status. The same man also has refused taking up responsibility for his children. Doesn’t give them food or money so they have resorted to stealing and becoming a nuisance. Honestly, I don’t blame women for being hypergamous. Everyone should do what’s best for them. There’s no reward for who suffer pass and most times suffering doesn’t mean that God is preparing you for anything. You can suffer for a long time till death and absolutely nothing will happen. 22 Likes 5 Shares |
Re: Memoirs From Chile by Gerrard59(m): 4:55pm On Mar 19 |
tensazangetsu20:Na true Tightpussy and you talk. I really don't blame our female contemporaries for being hypergamous. Country hard! Moreover, their hypergamy is global. So it's not a Nigerian thing. It happens everywhere. I think a lot of young Nigerian men especially on social media are really ignorant on how other women behave when they compare them to our women. That said, they (young ladies) shouldn't belittle the hard work efforts by their male contemporaries. It takes a lot of grit, hard work and perseverance to succeed as a young man in Nigeria, especially without parental assistance and financial support. My own be say, make people born fewer children rather than repeat their parents' mistakes. 4 Likes |
Re: Memoirs From Chile by studyless123: 5:02pm On Mar 19 |
cococandy: Exactly my point designers doesn't equate luxury. It's only in Nigeria that people think such. I actually don't know who you mean by when people say designers? Which people are you referring to? There's is no where in the world where Coach, Michael Kors or Kate Spare are not called designer clothing. For Luxury items, we also have the lower, mid and upper echelons. Rodeo Drive is a famous luxury street for elite shoppers same as 5th avenue in NY. Instead of me to spend on such, I'd go for custom hand clothing. |
Re: Memoirs From Chile by cococandy(f): 5:20pm On Mar 19 |
studyless123: Designers are viewed as luxury items in America. That’s why as the cultural appeal reduced and lack of exclusivity happened with brands like mall Michael kors and Kate spade etc, people no longer refer to them as designers. So if for example you say that you only dress in designer items and start pulling out brands like Michael Kors, people are going to look at you like “that’s it?” Where are the DESIGNERS?” Because when you say that, they’re expecting more exclusive brands. This is a cultural phenomenon that’s true for everywhere. I know you know that but you wanted to let me know that you know the definition of designers according to the dictionary. So pls spare me the roundabout talk. 6 Likes |
Re: Memoirs From Chile by studyless123: 5:53pm On Mar 19 |
cococandy: Which America? I guess your America. So I need to wear 50k clothing before someone will say I'm wearing designers. Tell me the city (except Houston) where you are in America and I'll challenge you to a Vox pop. Tell me how much you're willing bet on this. I told you initially you don't know what designers mean, you should have used Google or ask fashion designers. My dear designers are not viewed as Luxury in America. I've been to all the major cities and 2 fashion shows. Right now I'm jobless, so I can come see the Americans you associate with that view designers as luxury items. So much for Naija mentality. |
Re: Memoirs From Chile by cococandy(f): 6:02pm On Mar 19 |
Since you asked me to Google, here’s what Google says. Well I’m Nigerian. Why won’t I have Nigerian mindset? What mindset should I have? I should’ve listened to the small voice that was telling me to ignore you the first time you quoted me. Something in me knew it was about to be some BS. ![]() You don’t know me. I wasn’t sharing my personal opinion. I Just telling you what’s happening in the current culture. If you asked me what my personal opinion about designer items are and if they’re worth it etc, then based on my response, maybe you can have a basis to be going off the deep end like you’re currently doing now. studyless123: 3 Likes

Re: Memoirs From Chile by studyless123: 6:30pm On Mar 19 |
cococandy: Now you're on the right track. I stated that they are designers but not luxury items but look at what Google said for the brands that you said are not designers. Note that Michael Kors is widely know as a designer brand and for it's luxury. That's same Google. That's the brand I used in the past so I wanted to know the village that you live in for not knowing that. My aim was to stop misinforming people nothing personal ma. As I dey I na Naija food dey hungry enough of the designers issue. Be safe

Re: Memoirs From Chile by cococandy(f): 7:14pm On Mar 19 |
studyless123: Hopefully this clears things up for you Before you feel the need to attack without knowing me as a person, I have several Michael kors purses. They’re nice. I also love shopping at Louis Vuitton and Dem likes. I’m an equal opportunity shopper. I don’t think any brand or design is too low. That’s not where this post is going at all. In fact if you followed my conversation from the beginning you’ll read where I pointed out that coach has better quality than some higher end brands. I was only telling you that Michael kors (and such) are not socially regarded as designer labels anymore. It’s just something that happened. I had nothing to do with it. I didn’t make me dislike the brand and I still buy stuff from them. all of them. I even prefer unbranded. 4 Likes 1 Share

Migration is never an easy decision. Honestly, I came to Chile because I initially planned to use it as a stepping stone to move to the USA. But after everything I went through in this country, especially during my first few months, I don’t think I ever want to start over from scratch again. Chile has been good to me, and now I see real possibilities to achieve my ultimate goals here. Of course, the USA might make the path to my dreams easier, but starting fresh in a new country, even with a green card, is not something I’m willing to go through anymore. I was looking at my AFP contributions today, and it reminded me of those tough early days how they used that system to make life so difficult for me when I was job hunting. Every time you apply for a job, the first thing they ask is: do you have AFP? Do you have Fonasa or Isapre? Fonasa and Isapre are types of health insurance here. It was a classic chicken-and-egg problem you can’t get a job without them, but you need a job to get them. And it’s not just work. Even renting a decent apartment comes with the same obstacles. Landlords ask for your AFP, your health insurance, and your last six months of salary slips. Now, imagine going through all of that for a country, building that foundation, contributing, struggling, and then after a few years, leaving it behind to start over somewhere else. How many times can a person hit reset in one lifetime? How many years do we really have? 24 Likes 3 Shares |

How long do I have left? What happens to enjoying my life with the little young and best age if things are working here for me. Moreover, I am not mandated to do it all. My parent took me far a bit, mine is to make the ground softer for my kids to relocate if they want. Have done the hardest part for them. Make them sef work, else they'll think life is all rosy and only think of partying or clubbing like politician kids.
