Travel / Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by RealMarv(f): 11:46am On Feb 20, 2023 |
Thank you for your kind words. It is unfortunate that some people feel the need to be rude or sarcastic when responding to others' questions. It is possible to provide direct and honest responses while still being polite and showing empathy. I was also disappointed to see the condescending remarks made in response to the post about the TOEFL score of the poster's brother. Questions such as "How did he pass his WAEC, did he school in the village?" do not demonstrate empathy towards the poster and the situation. This behavior is more common in online forums where people can hide behind the anonymity of the internet. Nonetheless, it is important to remember that empathy and kindness are always in fashion, whether in person or online. Donbigi2: 12 Likes |
Romance / Re: Why You Should Not Delete Your Ex's Number by RealMarv(f): 11:07pm On Feb 15, 2023 |
I didn't delete his number; I only changed the name. It's been close to four years now and we've both moved on. Though we rarely chat, we don't hold anything against each other. If at any point, either of us calls (very unlikely), we'd definitely pick up. C'mon it's not that deep. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

What you described up there is not introversion pls. Introverts have friends (at least one or two), socialize online including WhatsApp. It's dangerous not to have anybody you can call a friend. 3 Likes |

Romance / Re: What Are The Stereotype You Get As A Man? by RealMarv(f): 9:34pm On Dec 08, 2022 |
As a man, you may encounter a number of stereotypes. Some common stereotypes of men include: Being strong and tough Being the breadwinner and provider for the family Being logical and rational, rather than emotional Being interested in sports and physical activities Being uninterested in fashion and grooming Being the dominant partner in a relationship These stereotypes are not necessarily true for all men, and it's important to remember that individuals are unique and cannot be accurately represented by stereotypes. It's also important to avoid perpetuating harmful stereotypes, and to treat each person as an individual, rather than assuming things about them based on their gender. |

Izaya3: There's no way you would tell and she won't feel hurt. Chances are you are already showing her some signs and this hurts more. I think the earlier you tell her, the better, so she can move on and give love another chance. I really don't understand why a lot of people suggest you ghost her and she'd pick up the signs. Adults are meant to communicate through words, not showing signs. Let her know your mind and when doing this, don't be hostile. 1 Like |

Business / How Multitasking Affects Productivity And The Brain by RealMarv(f): 1:05pm On Nov 14, 2022 |
Multitasking can be beneficial for some tasks, but it can also have negative effects on productivity. It can reduce creativity, cause impulsive decisions, and lead to poor decision-making. A key way to increase productivity is to learn to prioritize tasks. If you have to do multiple things at once, make sure to build in "insurance" time, or time that is dedicated to completing one task at a time. While multitasking is often beneficial, it can also cause mental exhaustion. This means that it takes longer to complete a task. And, because the human brain is not built for multitasking, switching from one task to another requires more brainpower. To put this into perspective, a driver chatting on his cell phone while driving might crash into a large obstacle. According to a study from the University of London, multitasking can reduce your IQ by as much as consuming marijuana or staying up late at night. People who multitask lose their intelligence and become more prone to errors. Multitasking also decreases our emotional intelligence and brain density. Taking breaks is another way to improve your productivity. Taking short breaks throughout the day will help you focus on each task. But, working for long hours without breaks can make it more difficult to achieve your goals. A cluttered workspace can also lead to a reduced ability to multitask effectively. In addition, studies show that multitaskers have trouble using their working and long-term memory. Even simple memory tasks become difficult for them. 1 Like |

Romance / What Is It With Name-calling Amongst Friends Nowadays? by RealMarv(f): 2:10pm On Oct 11, 2022 |
This is a trend that has been going on for a long time! Mind you, it's not limited to guys, even ladies do call themselves names all in the name of jokes. Names like "weyrey, fool, idiot, bastard" and lots more. It's common even in chats, as some of them screenshot their chats and put it on their statuses to reply. You see a long chat and all they do is call themselves all sorts of names including curses. What is it with the names calling? I know most of them would say they don't really mean it but must you call yourselves negative names all in the name of throwing banters? Let me hear your thoughts guys! |

Romance / Re: Is It Possible To Be In A Relationship Without Sex? by RealMarv(f): 2:29pm On Sep 14, 2022 |
These days, people hide under the guise of relationship just to be having sex. There are people in relationships who are not having sex though they are relatively few. I wonder why it's difficult for a lot of people to abstain from sex while dating/courting. Relationship without sex helps to build strong friendship; you both know you're there for each other and not just because of sexual benefits. 4 Likes 1 Share |
Romance / Re: Why Go Out On A Date With A Guy When You Have A Boyfriend? by RealMarv(f): 11:21am On Sep 14, 2022 |
The fact that she's rubbing it at your face and always mentions the guy in your discussion is quite disrespectful. If tables were to be turned, how would she feel. If she cares about your feeling, she shouldn't be doing that or probably she has a motive for doing that. Everything boils down to communication. Express your dissatisfaction and see if she changes. It's good to discuss boundaries in relationships! |

Romance / Why Are Guys Intimidated By A Lady's Height? by RealMarv(f): 11:39am On Nov 05, 2021 |
Most guys I know don't like it when a lady is taller than them especially if they are developing feelings for her. They prefer a lady who is short or of average height. The surprising thing is that even the majority of tall guys prefer going for short ladies. This begs the question, are tall ladies not attractive? Why are guys intimidated when they are with tall ladies? 26 Likes 1 Share |
Family / How Do You Lift Your Spirits When You Are Down? by RealMarv(f): 10:14pm On Oct 03, 2021 |
You feel down, uninspired and lazy; plus at the same time angry because you’re not doing anything. You want to lift your mood and be productive but feel stuck. You might feel down because you’re tired, overworked, overwhelmed or something bad happened to you. It’s okay and normal to feel uninspired sometimes and I think everyone goes through these phases in life. However, when they become too long, you might want to use some strategies to lift your mood and get yourself back on track. So I was wondering how folks get to lift their spirits when they feel down. I'd like to hear your strategies. 36 Likes 4 Shares |

Dijita:It still baffles me how some people are able to give ridiculous offers to their fellow human beings. I won't type much but let's do the analysis together. #5000(2 kids) for 40 hours #5000/40= #125 per child. That means you are offering #250 daily to teach 2 kids. If your place is not that close, he'd probably take transport. Now imagine paying for transport from #250. Even without transport, I don't think it's logical for anyone to spend 2hours of his or time working for #250. Rather get yourself a good sleep or spend that 2hrs to learn a skill daily. 2 Likes |

Business / 3 Irreversible Shifts Emerging Due To A Side Hustle Hype by RealMarv(f): 12:32pm On Aug 11, 2021 |
Scrolling my Facebook feed is a disaster. Every third post is an ad telling me I live a wrong life and selling me a better future. A few friends of mine quit their full-time jobs to join the gig economy in the past six months. A hilarious thing, however, is I learned about it from their social media posts. The definition of a “proper job” is different for everyone, though. A side gig is one of the ways to leverage challenging times. Perhaps, it’s one of the reasons why the gig economy has been thriving in the past years. Along with learning how to make extra money online, I’ve discovered the dark sides of side hustles that can lead to irreversible changes in our society and economy. 1. How Much Of Personal Branding Is Too Much? In a flourishing gig economy, individuals strive to develop their personal brands to stand out from others. It takes lots of time and effort to become recognizable, but many people consciously choose this path to become influencers. Developing your personal brand is key to monetizing your passion online. However, what does it mean for consumers like you and me? More content. More sign-up requests. More annoying social media ads. More online marathons, webinars, and conferences. More fake experts and duplicate content all over the Internet. 2. Change In the Consumers’ Mindset s more individuals grow their side hustles through personal brands, it gets harder for consumers to differentiate between them. Consumers gradually become pickier and less impressionable. They are more reluctant to like, share, follow and eventually buy anything from individual creators. The indestructible myths claim side hustle is a quick way to enrichment. As a result, more individuals enter the market and cause shifts in consumers’ mindsets without realizing it. 3. The Illusion of Success A desire to work more does not come on its own. Very often, we look at others’ lifestyles and want to replicate their success. It’s surprisingly easy to get jealous and devalue personal achievements these days. All you have to do to feel miserable is to look at your Instagram feed. It seems everyone is successful on Instagram. Solopreneurs travel worldwide, work a few hours a day, and enjoy marvelous beaches the rest of the time. Social media is an illusion. It’s an imaginary life where you can be whoever you want. It is a never-ending comparison of one lifestyle to another. The future of work is beyond a 9–5. Having a single income source is risky in the modern world. I no longer rely on my employer to secure me financially. I am just an employee, like many others, and we are all replaceable. The hype around solopreneurship and location-independent living is contagious. I’ve already joined the side hustle ride, and I know I am not alone. The future of work is beyond time-based performance. Be brave to be happy. Lalasticlala 1 Like

Romance / How To Send Emails And Get Responses From Nairalanders by RealMarv(f): 3:37pm On Aug 07, 2021 |
This is my humble opinion tho. It's quite funny when you receive the first email from someone and all you could find there is "Hi" or "Hey", "Good afternoon." I mean do you expect to get a response with that? Email is not a chatting app like Facebook, WhatsApp, and the rest where you can get instant replies. A lot of people only open their emails especially if it's not work-related once or twice daily. You send a hi today, the recipient opens his/her email the following day and responds with "hello". You can imagine how smooth the flow of conversation would be Lastly, when sending emails to strangers, do not ask them to introduce themselves when you haven't. Gracias. 1 Like |
