Us guys often tag the ladies as materialistic. I mean, you meet a girl for the first time and immediately she is sizing you up; running her eyes from your head to your feet. She wants to know what kind of phone you use. She may be peeping at your bunch of keys to see one with doubly serrated edges then she’d try to spot a manufacturer’s logo or she is peaking at your belt buckle or the shoes to be sure they are by Gucci or D&G.
Our first impression about such females is that they are materialistic. The lament of the brothers over these matters at the usual joints have not ceased since the very beginning, for as long as violence has been suffered by the kingdom.
There have been instances where these items were borrowed; the girl fell head over heels for the dude only to realize later that it was all a charade. If they are not all about the money he possesses they might fall into the other category; those who ask the most dreaded question; where do you see yourself five years from now? Dudes be like, “hian!!! na job interview me dey?” The eloquence of some hommies has been the only thing that got them out of that one without giving a definite answer.
Dudes be like adam Levine and the twins saying “I train, I have a plan. You just need trust me mehn!!” While she feels this is a relevant issue which should be brought to the fore, the brodahs often feel it is a ‘quaternary’ issue, not worthy of consideration until much later, if at all #snickers#. Just so know, this usually includes the guys who are actually serious about the relationship.
Enough yapping here, lets get to the point I hope to stress today. The guys just can’t understand why these girls are so interested in what they have or don’t have. After all, his only care is that she passes the ‘FBB’ test, cooks well, has potential for great sex and nothing much more afterwards, why can’t she be the same way? In return the ladies might ask, why can’t we have a maid to do the cooking and feed the baby with artificial milk? Between seeing as we never find out until we are already in finger-cuffs, I guess potential is all we have to go by.
And No!!!! Don’t ask me how we permute the potential. jeez!!! You ask too mush fa!!! Moving on then… Here’s what got me thinking along these lines, it is something I found again recently. The 35th verse of Genesis 24 captures pretty much everything Rebekah needed to know about this dude, Isaac, before she accepted to marry him.
It contains all the speech the servant needed to make to steal her heart for his master’s son. “The Lord has blessed my master abundantly and he has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, and camels and donkeys” Hold on!!! Do you want to read that again?
It was all about camels and donkeys and sheep and servants and abundance and the lot, nothing said about Isaac as a person or his background. No history about witchcraft or family curses, no question of whether or not he was nice looking, short or tall with a pointy nose #tongueout#, what he was currently working on and how he intended to live in the future. No family history of lying to save their skin when captured by a king, no family history of HEADS PUD (you know yasefs). NOTHING!!!!.................................to be continued!
