Clamour for Dutch

I wrote a comment on belle Naija’s article- All Single Men Stand up by Glory Edozien, it went like this Well I am single and am wondering where all the single ladies have gone to. I think most single men are either running away from commitment, the recession is biting at them or they have started thinking differently-ladies cost money. I was discussing with 2 guys last week and the first said “let go meet 3 single ladies,2nd guy said if they are paying us to meet them why not, but am not spending any money on them o. You know most of  you ladies don’t seem to understand recession; the dates, the gifts and gigs they cost money, most men I know want business opportunities, flings and money, not another drain in their pockets clamouring for marriage.
The article was on how it seems difficult for ladies to  find single guys who want to go into a commitment or marriage,  most of the reply posts were written by women with a  few by men. Doll, a lady I guess posted “LOL@ besh..True talk but I think the females are willing to go Dutch sometimes! So the recession should not put off single men…happy hunting!” Then I started thinking how Dutch would a girl go.
My rich neighbour as I call him, believes in the idea of going Dutch and practices it religiously. I remember going to a cinema with him and Marian (girl)-(sadly my supposed date decided she couldn’t join us). Marian paid for her movie ticket, while I was aligning to the Dutch principle a little, I still offered to buy pop corn if she bought drinks. I guess I stopped feeling bad about it when I opened my wallet and I still had money.
I started thinking how many girls can go Dutch, the idea of girls paying for things themselves seem alien to most girls I know.  It is boyfriend this, boyfriend that, and maga this, maga that, can't you go out on a date and split the bills with a guy?
The recession thing has brought its own values (maybe killed the mugu behaviour in some men), and I would love the Dutch system to stay…. I know many men secretly wish the Dutch system continues too but their ego no go fit allow them let woman pay for her own drinks or wa’eva.

MY LOVE or lust...

Holding my phone, dialing her number and cutting it off before it rings, wanting to call her every minute but realizing I don’t have anything to say. Just want to hear her voice and find out how her day was so far. Secretly wishing she would come home today, wishing she would be mine… She reminds me of the first time I saw a red Camry 07, I fell in love instantly. She just too good to be true…my mind constantly putting her picture in my head… Come to think of it, comparing her to a Camry 07 means there is lust somewhere… Questions: is it possible to be in LOVE and LUST at the same time or are they mutually exclusive? Crazy thoughts of a Boy Nov 10 I just remembered, this might be my first blog... it was posted on FaceBook. But to think that I never got to go out with the girl... makes me sad...all the emotions, Postpaid debts and chinning other girls just because i like one girl and to jus suddenly not like the girl again...i can't still explain it... Is there a problem with me (...

Femi: Serial Monogamist

Guess a couple of my friends would have seen my karma comments, well it really sucks. But thinking about it, I might need to apologize to karma so sorry karma. The saying what goes around come around might be true but not in my friend's case. Like Effie White in dream girls, he sometimes likes the privileges but not the responsibilities, but @ the end he got around to take up the responsibilities. Sounds like glory seeking comments for him, but let talk about the bad part.   He used to be a Serial Monogamist (SM) and he’s strongly considering going back to the noble profession, girls like them until they breakup with them. SMs are usually the best boys/girls a girl/boy can date; perfect in almost every way except when it comes to long term relationship they simply run away but not without taking the responsibility of saying “it’s not you but me”. SMs are generally unconscious of their commitment issues; they just have one excuse or the other that makes it convenience to break u...
