THE LIES ABOUT INTENTIONALITY IN RELATIONSHIPS

 Oh my God!, did you see the car he bought her,

Did you see the money bouquet,

The ring, the diamond, the food, the clothes 

He/she is so intentional!

Then the infamous quote rings out loud " an intentional Man/ intentional woman".


With a sprinkle of " awwwn" serenading the atmosphere.

So cute I guess?


Is this truly what intentionality entails or just a way of seeking validation and urging our transactional instincts to survive!

The silence is deafening.......


It's mostly particular with women who attach intentionality to a good deed done by a Man and somehow convince other women ( herd mentality) to put up a standard of receiving expensive gifts as a show of true intent.


But when it comes to an actual moment of intentionality, there is a sudden shift from accountability to uncertainty.


Can I get your number? No I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Can I buy you lunch? No I'm sorry, my partner won't like that 

Can you wake up late to make your Man food?

Can you help your woman clean when she's tired?

Can you reject a supposed better offer in favor of your partner?

Can you post a picture of your partner with captions that leaves no room for uncertainty?


I'm sure your response is far from No!

I will let you put up your desired answer to fit whatever narrative you have in your mind.

Or does intentionality only mean receiving gifts and favors?

We have bastardized the idea of intentionality and it's worrisome because the younger general is taking a cue from the ridiculous show offs and validation seeking in the name of genuine intentions.


One of my favorite quotes by Corey Wayne is" Going into a relationship with the hope of giving and not what you are willing to receive".


Think about it!

CAN A GOOD GIRLFRIEND CHEAT? HOW TO HANDLE IT

Time and time over it keeps happening, Men cannot handle a cheating woman despite the knowledge that a large percentage of women cheat. The average man is more concerned about ego instead of how he's been treated. Do I think cheating is bad? Definitely  Do I encourage cheating women? No This article is focused on paying attention and receiving the best of affection from women, rather than finding solace in exclusive loyalty which is very rare. In the context of this conversation( a good girlfriend) is someone who puts you first, cooks and cares for you, motivates and assists you in a way that the average girl doesn't. Now the question beckons, why should I throw all of these attributes and genuine affection away because of who a woman fucks or makes out with? Reality is that the average woman cheats and somehow most Men think theirs is a Saint. So whose babe are other men fucking?!! Isn't it laughable and quite delusional. Men need to realize that only in marriage should ch...

" GO AND MARRY" AS A YARDSTICK FOR FAILURE.

 When you pay attention to the intent of a word of advice, then you can gauge if it's from a place of care, concern or disguised mockery. The " Go and marry" tag falls in line with the disguised mockery often packaged as a genuine concern. Age, finance and status are mostly the determinant of these fallacious shows of sportsmanship as it is always a subtle way to remind you of your decline. Rarely does happiness, companionship or even peace of mind be considered as a criteria for the supposed " Go and marry" advice. Isn't it surprising that if there is a refusal on your part to cling onto the marriage ship, they throw in a subtle jibe and undertone caricature, reminding you of your anticipated decline and risk of losing out in life. Every other achievement is discarded and you are faced with multiple reasons why you are on your way to doom. Then the game starts, Pressure from onlookers Constant reminder of your lack of purpose (marriage wise) Subtle jibe and...

THE WAITING GAME ( WHO MAKES THE FIRST CALL)

 One of problems associated with a bad friendship, heartbreak or betrayal is the act of getting defensive and sensitive, there by Losing the naivety that makes you open minded. We start to care about not being treated the same way, even when it's glaring that the situation is different and it's a new person. Every move is questioned. What is the motive behind the compliment? Am I doing too much? Maybe I should wait for the first message? The above keeps ringing inside your head. The crazy thing is a part of you justifies this supposed metal awareness, you validate every curiosity with " protecting your heart". And then it becomes obvious in the long run that the other party too feels this way. Who breaks the ice? When two people have the same conditioning, who is willing to be the bigger person? The genuine dove-like attitude becomes lost in the game, it becomes stressful to bond. Your mind tricks you to find an escape route even before getting locked up. Quick sex an...
