10 Weird & Shameful Practices Guys Engage In When In Need Of Girlfriends

1. They Collect the PINS & Phone Numbers Of Ladies They Barely Know 
Some are so desperate that they request for the PINS of ladies they barely know; or you see them on social network viewing ladies profile just to see if some of them added their pins and phone number on their profile. Some be like, “Lalasticlala, abeg you get any sure babe for your BBM ? Yes I get oooo.. Abeg I no need the one wey go dey demand for money oooooo.. Hahaha

2. They Borrow Ridiculous Things To Show Their Worth 
Specifically, guys who have low self esteem will borrow their friends” wrist watches, mobile phones, clothes, shoes, and even boxers to showcase their style. When they spot the lady, they will make sure she sees them by force

3. They Chase Ladies On The Streets At Night 
You see some guys lay ambush at night, just like a lion waiting for its prey. Na so dem go dey disturb ladies wey dem no know. This is what some of them do

4. They Risk Their Life By Traveling Far Away 
He lives in Lagos while she lives in Maduguri.. You will keep wonderful why someone would be so eager and desperate to embark on a journey of about 24 hours just to meet with someone he barely knows. This is what some guys do when they meet ladies on social media which is nothing but pure abnormality.

5. They Attend Church Youth Programmes Solely For The Purpose Of Meeting Ladies 
I used to do this when men were boys. You will see them attending Youth & Singles programmes not for the mental and spiritual benefit of it, but they know that babe will also be present. You will see them hovering outside the church auditorium for no good reason.

6. Notice Me Character 
When sitting beside a lady they barely know, they will dip their hands into their pockets and will bring out their Blackberry curve 2, put their earpiece on their ears and will start singing foreign songs (Celine Dion, Westlife, Lionel Richie, etc). This is to show that they are sophisticated and have high taste in music. Funny enough, when the babe brings out her own Z10, they will shamefully put their phone back into their pockets. Hahaha

7. They Utilize Every Opportunity 
When they dial a wrong number and a lady with an angelic voice picks up and they get to realize they dialed a wrong number. They will drop the call, and will call back 20mins later, saying they want to know more of her.

8. They Are Unnecessarily Caring 
I have witnessed a scene when a very close friend of mine saw a random lady being bathed by rain. He rushed to her, handed over his umbrella to her and started walking under the rain. When they were about to depart, he inquired for her phone number and the lady in question made an outright confession that she doesn’t give out her number to strangers.. Oooopsss !!!

9. They Thank Ladies For Everything 
Thanking ladies for appecting your friend request on social network has been causing controversy since the days of Azeez Makinde. Personally, I see nothing wrong in it, depending on the matter which it was done. When ladies accept their friend request of some of them, they will start praising and adoring her for no reason

10. They Begin To Form

The moment they stop ladies, some of them start using British accent even though it is obvious they have never been out of Ado- Ekiti.

1. Indecent Look 
One of my lectures used to say “Some people will get a job at the doorstep by their appearances; and not everybody will be offered jobs by the quality of English they spew”. Your nyansh and bosoms are tattooed and your waist chain can be seen by everybody when you bend or climb okada. There are about 6 pair of earrings dangling on your ear and you are like, I live my life the way I want. I’m sorry a responsible dude from a good Christian/Muslim home dare not take you home else he would be disowned.

My sister, you don’t need T.B Joshua to tell you that it can’t attract reasonable people into your life but only those who just want to have a taste of your kitty-cat and run like a clapper cos your looks has given an impression that you have nothing to offer than to relief their konji.

2. Bad Behaviour 
Are you aware that guys make a little research before making any advances to you? Of course, they do. They might ask someone who knows you very well just to know how responsible you are. If he gets negative reports such as, that babe is ill-mannered; or that babe too dey pack men up and down, he will definitely make overtures in respect he had heard of you and would probably want to mark register if he was told unpleasant things… Ask naijaboiy and emusmith, they know how they run that package wella.

3. You Are Not Financially Disciplined (ojukokoro, oke ochicho, zari) 
Our ladies should always show to men that they would rather manage than beg. However, when a lady is never ashamed to show that she’s obsessed with money, it will definitely piss you off by dint of a disposition of money-grubbing who is no way different from those hungry ladies who make use of BIS & recharge card as method of carrying out extortion exercise. This will send a bad signal to him that you have nothing to offer other than to be on the receiving side. **Zack19 knows it better*

4. You Are Too Artificial 
Natural look is out of your dictionary, your fingers and toe nails are painted in rainbow colours, your face is as painted as still life painting and bleaching creams has turned your skin to multi-colour, that is, the colour of your face no long rhyme with that of your neck and vice versa (but you are fond of saying that “my natural skin is coming out and that is an evidence of good living). Truth be told, your chances of attracting responsible men/guys into your life is 0.5kb *Lamispaco knows beta *

5. Lack of Personality 
You are beautiful no doubt, but its paramount to note that not every responsible guy is obsessed with your looks, walking steps, bosoms and ynash. You need a good personality to make your beauty more attractive

7. You Talk Too Much 
Many guys like reserved ladies who don’t talk much. When I see a lady talking without manners, my reverence and chase for her drastically head on diminishing returns.

8. Low IQ 
You should be able to lead a good conversation either you are into a guy or not, we guys like ladies who are fun to be with. That is, ladies that have little knowledge of everything (football, technology, scrabble and all that). If your reply to every question is “5n u? Kul u? Yap u?, He concludes you are so boring and your IQ cannot match with his, therefore, refrain himself from asking you out. *ronald4lif & alberto2k knows it better

1. He asks for s*x on the first date: Players know that modern girls are fickle. Whether they put value on the immediate one night stand is immaterial — they know they have to push the interaction as far as possible to get the girl invested and maximize the chance she will return.
2. He’s evasive or mysterious about personal things: You’re unlikely to hear about a player’s dreams, aspirations, insecurities, etc. Good players don’t want to tell you anything that could be used against them, and really, what’s the use of opening up to someone you don’t view as a potential partner?
3. He refuses to meet your friends: A man who delights in the chase knows that a girl’s friends are never his allies. At best they are neutral observers, most often they are saboteurs and haters. After all, why should their friend enjoy some fun with a mysterious stud if they’re not getting any attention themselves?
4. He’s reluctant to spend money on you: Everybody knows the player’s go-to maneuver is the expensive dinner first date. Players flip the script because they know there’s no upside to trying to buy a girl’s attraction. If he suggests you split a bag of skittles for dinner, you’re staring down sexual checkmate.
5. He won’t see you more than twice a week: A player’s time is valuable, whether it’s being used for gaming other girls, making money, or enjoying leisure time. As part of the harem, you’re not going to get more than the occasional bone thrown your way.
6. He doesn’t want to see you on weekends: The weekend is a time for precious rejuvenation and rebirth. For the full-time 24/7 players, this is when they’re beating the bushes for new prospects. For the introverted players, it’s the time when they unwind solo and prepare for another week in the game.
7. All of your dates involve alcohol: The fact is, most players want to avoid getting a girl sloppy drunk. However, they also know that sharing just drink or two will make it easier to get sex somewhere along the line.
