Him:<\/strong> Are you married?<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> No.<\/p>\n

Him:<\/strong> So you’re single?<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> Yeah.<\/p>\n

Him:<\/strong> Are you into men?<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> What…?!<\/em><\/p>\n

Him:<\/strong> Do you like men?<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> Excuse me?<\/p>\n

Him:<\/strong> I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to offend you… I was just… I just didn’t wanna come out straight and ask if you are straight. I mean you look straight…<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> I have a boyfriend (do not question me about the veracity of this statement; thank you very much!)<\/em><\/p>\n

Him:<\/strong> Oh. So you’re seeing someone then?<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n

Him:<\/strong> You’re a very pretty lady. Again, I apologize if I offended you.<\/p>\n

See me see wahala ooo! I still don’t know what this guy was attempting to do: flirt with me? Strike up a conversation? Satisfy his curiosity? Dumbfound me? Well, he sure did dumbfound me, and not in a good way.<\/p>\n

This is how you know the world don kpafuka finish (is spoilt). Whatever happened to the good ol’ days when you just approached someone and flirted with him\/her or asked him\/her out? Now, you have to wonder if the person is into men, women, both, neither, or possibly animals sef. Mama mia! I have never, ever been asked if I was into men. What do people who are into men look like? I mean, he said I look like I’m into men, so what do women who are into men look like?<\/p>\n

It was funny the way he started stammering. I guess he read the look on my face. I know he did not mean any harm by the question, but is there really any way to ask, “are you into men?” without being offensive? That’s almost as bad as rubbing a woman’s tummy and asking her when she’s due, only to find out she’s not even pregnant. How pesin go fit remove for dat kin situation (how does one escape that kind of situation<\/em>)?<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, I have no other choice than to be into men. Let’s face it: you women are just toooooo much to handle. You bleed and PMS once a month (sometimes twice), you never have enough shoes, bags, and clothes, you are too sensitive, you are overly dramatic, you think too much about everything and over analyze every situation, you always think you are fat, you always think someone is talking about you, you’re so darn petty, you read between non existent lines, you don’t seem to know what you want in a man until you have your heart broken a few times, you talk too much (shut the heck up!), you listen to Beyonce and Oprah way too much … sheesh the list goes on.<\/p>\n

So yeah, come on boys … you’re just what the doctor ordered. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

P.S. Thanks to all those who voted for me in the Naija Bloggers Awards competition. I was nominated in five categories<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, and I walked away with two awards.<\/span><\/a><\/strong> Thanks!!! To all those who didn’t vote for me… in your face… ha!!!<\/strong> LOL. Now, voting has begun for Category B<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, so biko, go and vote for ya gal! I was nominated in 5 categories. I will put up an acceptance speech when the whole thing is over. Why not, if not?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
