In American,people get married today and next week they are out fileing out for a divorce,and you sit there to tell me that american guys are good, SHIT

I thinks its you girl thats got the problem,cos your eyes are always on money, now i see the reason why you like american guys, lol

ANYWAYS,CHECK YOUR SELF

@poster

You may be right, you may lso be wrong

But I think that I have also found out that out of 25, only 1 girl in Nigeria is not materialistic and impatient with their man. plz air yr views

if the definition of romantic is . . . . . baby baby i rov u verrry mucccch. . i will likes to gets t knows u further.

then i don't think naija guys are all that romantic. the more educated(in ways of women) and westernized the more likely they are to be romantic or very very sceptical about women.

Yes, mostly the educated and well read ones. I mean socially intelligent as well as academically intelligent ones.
But those myopic ones can not even think of being romantic, they think it makes them less of a man.

I DONT KNOW Y WE CONSIDER THE AMERICANS SUPERIOR TO US FORGETING THE PECULIARITY OF D ENVIRONMENT WE FIND OURSELVES, REALLY I DONT UNDERSTAND OUR DEFINITION OF BN ROMANTIC MAYBE KISSING IN THE BUS, NECKING ON THE STREET AND FONDLY IN PUBLIC PLACE WHICH IN OUR SOCIETY IS CONSIDERD IMMORAL OR DOING STUPID THINGS IN D NAME OF ROMANCE THAT DO NOT TALLY WITH OUR UPBRINGING?
THE FACT IS IF A GIRL WANTS AN AMERICAN THE PROCEDURE IS CLEAR GET 1 AND STOP COMPARING OUR BOYS THAT ARE BUSY HUSTLING EVERYDAY TO MAKE ENDS MEET AND THE MONEY HUNGRY CHICS WONT GIVE HIM A BREATHING SPACE
IM NOT SAYING THERE ANYTHING WRONG IN SHOWING SOME LUV BUT DONT COMPARE COS WE LIVE IN DIFFERENT WORDS

@taopheek ~ everyone is struggling to make ends meat, not just ppl in naija!!!!

romance does NOT equal money!!!!!

Being romanctic has to do with how you speak to someone and make a person feel; you dont have to have money or buy material items to be romantic and make the person you love feel special/needed.

Hi Nairalanders,

Nigerian guys are romantic and i think you just have to bring out the best in him.

I do agree that some of us are somewhat crude and uncouth, but i believe and know that when a man is in love truly, he becomes more romantic

romatical ! romacer !! romafucker
9ja guys gat them all.
when i tell my chickinto that i love her it means what i hate or what , make una tell me this romatical ppl

yep, they are among really romantic

Im sorry to say this ladies but this really has to be said,

Romance ii believe is subject to the value a man places on you,

if he doesnt jump out of the car just to open the door for you, it may be because you make statements like "what a man can do, "

We feel its ok to tell guys what to do to please us in bed, and yet we dont let them know how we want to be treated out of it,

There are Nigerian men, who value women and romance them equally, i know, i have 2 as brothers, and i have dated 3 in this short life

We just watch too many american movies and assume romance equals flowers, keys to a new car or diamond necklaces, Dont you know in yankee they have 28days to return those gifts if they still ahve the receipt??

we look for the grande gestures adn fail to see the little gestures such as him calling us last thing before he goes to bed even though he is tired and just wnats to sleep, or romantic acts like calling us in the middle of the day toi say, Make sure you keep your stomach empty, we going out for dinner,

it doesnt have to be keys to a car, or a weekend in jamaica, if he attempts, ofcourse i wont object, but if you dont value the little things, how is he suppose to WOW you with the grand things,

Think about it

I love your choice of words babe. . . . . . MYOPIC! i wouldn't have thought to use it.

hey don't get it wrong, but here my view, most of dem are really don't even know what it is to have a romantic dinner with dier gals, i bet u don't getta it, mennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn just being a big guy doesn't mean u're great in dat aspect of r/ship, for me though, i preferr a guy who has a lot to do with romantic outing, dinner, celebration of one thin or de other, mennnnnnnnnnnn most guys here are not really dat romantic, but still luvly, as a gal u're u just have to try and get dem into de world of ramantic part, once one of dem is able to do dis , i guess dey both will be initiated into de world of ROMANCE,

Nigerian Men are romantic, I am a living example
_shikena!

This is some intelligent post;our naija ladies should read this thoroughly.

HELL NO!!! ,the few ones who try to be are copycats, its always another person's romantic idea.

Gosh no!  The dryest ever!  Too stiff!  Just look around Nairaland!  What makes you think you can change them?  We have come to accept them for what they are abeg!  I can "romance"  myself!

They are more sexual than sensual! The way God created them, can't fault them for that.

@topic,

Wat kinda naija guys have y’all been dating or hanging around.
Personally, nig guys know wat it takes to love and make a woman feel good. Don’t know about other countries but I dated an African American b4 . . . and believe me, their mentality when it comes to dating is way different.
1. They don’t believe in calling u all the time, I guess they feel that u’re fine and if u’re not, u’ll call them. If a nigeria guys loves u, u’ll ring ur phone down.
2. You guys go out to the movie or go eat . . . dating or not dating, u gotta pay ur own share of the meal or pay for ur own gadam movie. Nigeria guys believe that they have to or have the mentality that they are meant to foot bills when u guys go out.
3. It is not in their opinions to be showing u with gifts. Some of them do while a lot of them believe that u shld open ur mouth when u need something. Nig guys will shower a woman love as long as he loves.

Then again, every man according to their beliefs or what they wanna believe.

am a Nigerian and am Romantic well so I've heard

ruudgal ! that was a very nice one !
busta ! u too make see jare !

I be naija for real and i am just so romantic but how do u define a girl that feels u are not romantic cuz u are not willing to give her the whole of your salary !!! when shes not even willing to do any thing for you in return some of them just want your money and infact, theres no romance in their dictionary and they will come out to accuse you of not being romantic

Some girls can choke you with so many things that u wont even remember to be romantic in any way Haba !!! our girls have to simmer a bit !!! The koko is, i will play my part to the fullest and i can even choke her with romance, _{but, dont see me as the boy is good and maga oooooooo}[color=#000099][/color]

In my honest view, i think some guys are still out there who are very romantic.
To find them might just be tasking.

I am one of them! I would feed you chocolate and Ice cream till you forget your name.
I would take you to beach and let you sun bath yourself while I play mr nice guy.
I would jump from the mountain top if need be to prove my love.
I would empty my salary on your cusmetics and body can look your best.
I would cook for you and wash your undies while you take a stroll to the club house.
I would open the door for you to enter a car or office while you cheer the crowd.
I would kill myself if you leave me for a day. . . . .

If that qualifies as romantic, then, I am sure we would find as many "me" as possible on our land.

Can you give me your contact address?
i need to share some secrets with you.

With who? Me?

I am homeless! Everything about me is on nairaland. At any rate I don't share secret with guys. That won't be ROMAntic but NIGERIAntic.

@ NAja Haja

thats a very myopic view you have. all you these girls that keep sayin some guy is not romantic are still the same people who will do anything and everything to keep the guy in question.
the point is, if you don't find a guy romantic enouhg for you, WALK, or run if u like.[sub][/sub]

If you say the old school naija men yes they are not romantic
but as for the now adays naija men HELL YEAH they are just too romantic

Of course we are romantic

not in all cases
