ARE THERE STILL REAL MEN???
......
I checked my facebook page this afternoon and I saw a friend's update. Well, the update was nice and just in case you cant see it clearly in the picture, here it is. "I don't care how alarming the percentage of cheating men is....I know of a truth that I'm marrying one of the faithful ones left!most def!
I mean pple should stop this mess**smh** There are still some real men around!" Hmmmmm.. hmmm... (got to clear my throat, sorry) 'now let's continue' While some church goers would call the above statement a positive confession or a statement of faith, some people even ladies would regard it as mere wishful thinking. I was trying to figure an angle to this when i remembered that I read something similar to this on Sumptuous' blogpost, "Yes, Sumptuous is a girl and my friend, a good one at that" she actually wrote on something like this on her blog in 2010 and she presented the opinions of some of her friend..... hear her (please read in her beautiful voice).".....The general concensus among my people here is that there is no faithful man and as long as he respects you by not flaunting his affairs in ur face, then you couldn't wish for a better husband. My insides literally churn when i hear this view and especially if they are held by the female folk. WHAAAAAT? So they are preparing themselves for a lifetime of unfaithfullness and bulls**t? No be me, i dont roll that way. In the course of trying to present my view, sumbody calls me unsubmissive (i cant even fit to laff) dude was going on and on, giving advice to the femalefolk on how to keep their men and condone their cheating philandeering ways, he advices that women should not fight/confront their cheating spouses but instead pamper them, have their food ready run him a hot/cold bath as the case maybe, make ur body available for him (in case he wants dessert after chopping anoda woman belleful?), then he'll see the error in his ways and change, and i say lai lai and dude says that he can already tell that i aint the submissive type. na u sabi, Submissive and mumu arent synonyms in my dictionary"
Sumptuous was a corper in 2010 and the above conversation took place in the corper's lodge somewhere in the Niger Delta where she proudly served her fatherland, But Sumptuous' opinion expectedly, was different... "I believe that as a 'good' girl with morals and values, i deserve the same and won't settle for less, i was conceived, born and brought up in love, so i expect noting less than what i have to give" she continued..... "....After 23 years of marriage, my dad calls my mum his girlfriend, kisses her in public and he is not ashamed to declare his love for her anywhere. And now some random boy is telling me to accept that i will marry an unfaithful man? No way! To whom much is given much is expected. I have seen true love and i'm gonna get mine! *wish me luck*" I will have to ask her on bb tonight if she still hold same opinion after 2 years and having dated outside school environment where your chance of bumping into 'the boy' while going and coming from class, library or cafeteria is considerably higher than when he lives and work several kilometres away from you.
What am i trying to say? I believe there are honest men, I have seen them, I have come across them but their population grows thinner each passing day. before now, when a man is an ardent church-goer, you could comfortably call him a faithful man... presently, most of us don't even trust our G.O when it comes to women(I trust mine)...! I have seen men who profess love for thier wives and still "do" thier househelp... i have heard of women who says 'as long as he doesnt bring them home, he can do whatever he wants to do, we just have to manage them like that, men MUST cheat..' So, I am thinking, even if the man does not want to do it, his wife will still thinks he is doing it, so why not 'kukuma' do the thing..!
But my questions really are, 1. WHERE ARE THE FAITHFUL MEN?
2. IS IT TRUE THAT WE MEN ARE POLYGAMISTS IN NATURE?
3. DO OUR WOMEN ENCOURAGE US TO BE UNFAITHFUL?
4. WHEN MEN CHEAT, WHO DO THEY CHEAT WITH, FELLOW MEN OR OTHER WOMEN WHO WANT/WISH TO MARRY FAITHFUL MEN?
5. THIS THOUGHT PROVOKING STATEMENT, IS IT POSITIVE THINKING, STATEMENT OF FAITH, STATEMENT OF FACT OR MERE WISHFUL THINKING? Over to you ladies
