There are definitely some myths/lies that I believe women have been swallowing hook, line, and sinker over the years, and that's because we force ourselves to believe these things that they seemingly become true but all na lie! I even feel some of them are propagated by some men... so here goes:
ALL MEN ARE THE SAME – All men are not the same, just the way all women are not the same. Physically and character-wise. Some men are short, others are tall, some are respectful, others aren't. All men are not the same and we should refrain from making these bogus generalizations. Women that say this have been dealt a terrible blow and may have had similar experiences with a particular kind of guy. All men are not the same, maybe it’s the kind of guys you have been meeting! Change lane.
ALL MEN CHEAT- This is not true just because all men are not the same! We find men propagating these lies, whats even worse? Women join the bandwagon too! Why should all men cheat? Haba! Cheating is a character flaw, a man that cheats cannot keep his word and cannot exercise self control, I don’t want to believe that all men would cheat. I've had discussions with some girls that believe that all men musto cheat, sooner or later in a relationship. Its about time we stop swallowing that lie jare, I would like to give the male species some benefit of doubt that not all of them are like that, this is totally disrespectful to the good men out there. Men can be monogamous.
I was speaking with this dude and he kept insisting that men cannot be monogamous, I agreed with him and told him that women too cannot be monogamous, that there must be a spare tyre, he vex ehn. He said "I can cheat on my wife my wife dare not cheat on me, women are not programmed that way"...Oshiso.
MEN ARE NOT EMOTIONAL – Men are emotional. I even suspect that they are more emotional than females! Some guys are big babies, and their feelings get hurt too just like women. The difference is, some of them don’t carry it on their forehead. Men cry. Men get scared. Men don’t have the answers every time. Men are emotional too, they just express their feelings differently. If a woman is scared her reaction might be to cry, a scared man will most probably fight what is scaring him. Men have been socialized to suppress excessive, outward emotion. Dazzzzal.
MEN THINK ABOUT SEX 24/7 – This is definitely not true, there is a time for everything. Given the right conditions a man would think about sex, as would a woman; it’s all about the environment. There’s a time to think about money, there is a time to think about work, there’s a time to think about politics, there’s even time to think about sports, but sex 24/7? That cannot be true! There's really no good reason why we should believe that men are thinking so much more about sex all the time and even more than women. Biko guys, how often are you thinking about knacking akpako?
OLDER MEANS MATURE – The fact that a man is older does not mean he is mature; you will find guys that are 40 years but still act like teenagers. I believe this is why women are advised to marry older men, because a 25 year old lady is probably more mature than a 30 year old guy with all his bia bia. I hear girls mature quicker than boys. However, I believe that maturity is not just about age, regardless of gender. It's about common sense and experience.
MEN WILL DIE IF THEY DON’T HAVE SEX – I heard this one way back in my undergraduate days, and now that I think of it, it sounds very silly. I was told that when a guy is aroused he has to have sex if not his kini will break or burst or whatever! Isn't that scary? It was termed as the point of “no return”. Dear guys, I am sure you will tell us that this is certainly not true. If the thing durosoke , o ma wale ni! You will not die. LOL
ALL MEN INTIMIDATED BY SUCCESSFUL WOMEN – Men are not intimidated by strong successful women. I believe a correct guy will love a strong woman. Some guys don’t want strong, confident and independent women. This is because they themselves are not strong, confident, independent men. An immature and insecure guy would most probably be intimidated, and that also depends on the manner such a woman portrays herself: is she overbearing? Is she domineering? Is she rude? Is she condescending? You can look at this issue from different sides: A man may be intimidated by a successful woman because she's too domineering for him OR he feels he is not good enough for her standards. O tan!
There are more lies women believe about men, but na here I go match break, now over to you, tell me more!

hohohohohohohoho i laf in pigin, all you have said is absolute correct, i used to think men must cheat, must have sex all d time until i married my husband, all of that thinking changed, ''all men are not the same o jare''
ReplyDeleteHilarious piece but with very good advice
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I hate it when people, especially women say that all men MUST cheat....... Means what?!! Was that the way God programmed them? Isn't adultery a sin again? Why should God wire them to cheat definately and then decree that " Thou must not commit adultery"? Abeg, my God is not a God of confusion. Men don't have to cheat, it's a horrible choice they make along the line.
ReplyDeleteWomen will now go on and encourage them by saying that men must cheat 'cos they are built that way....then the men will go ahead and do it like they have no choice.... Then everyone will now assume that it's a normal something. Ahn-ahn!
Lubbish!
hmmm @ Chinazor Ezeh;;i pour out saliva like my elders in d villa do before laughing;;cos e no de hold break... tell me something..
Delete;;;@ Chinazor Ezeh;;hmmmmmm hmmm;;; I laugh in our local dialect..Tell me story;;;#hmmm hmmm hm## Tuwale to u
DeleteLooolz! Eeeees true na!
DeleteHep me o! MUST ko!!!!
DeleteWow...loved this piece and i totally agree. Men would die if they don't have sex...now dats a hiliarious myth...lol
ReplyDeleteReally loved this piece. Thanks for clearing things out for some girls out there. Men would die if they don't have sex now that's hiliarious!!!! Lol
ReplyDeleteLol the will die if they do not have sex one must have come from a man lol just to ensure they get some from naive women/girls
ReplyDeleteLol @ your humor! Btw, I've never heard of men dying due to lack of sex. Ahn ahn, na oxygen? Mcheww girls please free ur mind...there are other things to think about jor! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks sisiyemmie jare, tell them oo.
ReplyDeleteReally quite a lot of us have been brainwashed with this notions.
I just remembered sef that girls do believe that "Men who can cook are all terrorist in the home" but me i dont care oo, My hubby must be a good cook. Hian, sebi d oda day i learnt how to sprinkle cube maggi without touching it from sisiyemmie's bobo egg frying lesson. lol,running off.
Some men have come to believe this notion about sex and use it as an excuse to seek pleasure from outside their home. I remember telling my husband that if a man decides to commit adultry, he alone is responsible for his actions and will bear the consequences of it. Shikena!
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Men do not like "dependent women". They completely disrespect a women who can't is not successful honestly.
ReplyDeleteDats true dear... No man wants a liability
Deletehehehehehehehe.....lool..absolutely hilarious AND very true!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I believe all men cheat, lie and should not be trusted, in fact some are even very wicked. I do not want to but I do and that is because all the men I have looked up to as a child have all set very bad examples ( My father and uncle) and have treated the women I love so dearly like crap.
ReplyDeleteit's unfortunate that you've experienced/witnessed men who cheat,lie and are wicked.However,you're misleading yourself by believing all men are thesame.The danger in this is that,when you finally meet the man who's actually not like the men you're used to,your inhibition won't let you realize it.
DeleteAll men dont cheat... Dats so ryt becos it take strong/wellmannered man to realize dat he already has diamond.. So y shud he belittle himself n go n look for silver or mere bronze..

Abeg,if i ever get to meet you,remind me that i owe you a bottle of wine! Champagne,brandy,rum...whatever! I am sick and tired of hearing women say this! All men are definitely not thesame! God bless you o jare!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, some are propagated by the men themselves. eg. a guy cheats, the girl finds out and gets upset, then the guy goes like, "Sweetheart, it doesn't mean anything. It's a guy thing. All men cheat, I cheated, I'm a man, so deal with it and let's move on".
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this.....u can imagine ladies saying men can't do without aving sex........sex na food...as a man,am proud to say am different frm other men...so ladies stp bullshiting us..
ReplyDeleteChai this post got me smiling all through the period of reading it. Sisi Yemmie as definitely gotten to understand the stories that come out of ladies mouth, God help us. The lies women tell most times are those that they tell just to make people step into the same shoes of depression which grew from an experience they had or something. My dear I must tell yo, they are men out there that their level of being emotional sef dey fear me. Anyways I will stop here.
