Top-7 Types Of Men Nigerian Women Like

You have probably noticed that some men have more luck with the women. All Nigerian women are attracted to several “ideal types” of men. You need only to think which kind is about you and to work it out.

1. Romantic
He is a classic definition of romance. He brings her flowers and chocolate. He likes to organize dinners with candles. He calls her as often as possible and shows in a different ways that he cares for her.
Why does it work? Because all the women love to be appreciated and to be cared about. She is also free to bring to life her own romantic ideas.
2. Confident
A confident guy is secure and safe. He spreads aura of power, control and safety. He is irresistible: he is not afraid of the male friends or co-workers of his girlfriend. The reason: if you are sure that you are awesome, she will probably think the same.
3. Creative
Artistic guy lives at the moment. He uses some of his creativity to get her attention. He will write a song for his girl, or will write a poem. This kind of things make women feel unique and special.
4. Foreigner
He is something like exotic. He might have lighter skin that men in Nigeria or just a cute accent. But his main weapon is charisma and the mystic of the other culture. Women like to date someone who differs from others.
5. Bad boy

He is a free spirit guy. He can ride motorbike or to steal some flowers for you from somebody’s flowerbed. He does not worry about the consequences really much. Women adore this kind of boo
6. Smart
He has a clever sense of humour and he knows how to make his girl laugh. All the conversations with him are intellectual and interesting. He can speak for hours, but it never gets boring.
7. Well-mannered
This guy knows when he should open the door and that he should pay for a dinner. He knows which glass you need to serve a red wine. He always pick his woman at her door. There is such time in the life of every woman, when she is ready for a cute nice guy.
Don’t take any of these character types to the extreme or try to be someone you’re not — it will be obvious. Try to mix them up and see which of these traits and gestures you are most comfortable with.

Girls, 10 ways to impress on a date

Your guide to the perfect date

Need some dating advice? Then look no further. We have dating tips that will help you choose what to wear, do and say on your next romantic night out:

Wear red

As you flit through your wardrobe trying to find something that covers up your “disaster” areas but also shows him that you are both sophisticated and sexy, then consider this: for men, the color red signals sex and romance. Researchers dispute why men see red as synonymous with desire, but in five different experiments the girl that wore red was rated more attractive than those women who wore other colours.

Read around

We all know that men have very little time for chatter. They’re just not built for talking to about your colleagues, your cat or that woman who gave birth without knowing she was pregnant. To have something to chat about on your date read a newspaper or two, watch the news and catch up on the entertainment reviews. Chatting about a recent event, a new band or a hot movie that’s just out will make for engaging conversation for you both.

Avoid negativity

Dating can be difficult and we’ve all been let down in love at some point in our lives. To be successful in dating though we have to shake off the past and be brave. If one of your friends has recently been dumped, or you’ve got some man-bashing mates, as harsh as it sounds, try to avoid them before you meet up with your guy. You need a positive mindset when you start a new relationship and remember that this man is not your ex.

Get the right hip ratio

Being beautiful is something we all aspire to and spend time trying to achieve; but have you ever taken out your calculator and tried to create an attractiveness ratio? If you haven’t, don’t worry, the scientists have created one for you. They found that men prefer women with a waist to hip ratio of 0.7. To calculate yours use this formula: Waist Measurement ÷ Hip Measurement = Ratio. If you don’t hit 0.7, buy a thick waist belt to wear on your date.

Compliment him

It’s true, we all like a compliment, but it’s a known fact that men love a compliment.  Avoid the boring and dull comments like, “You look nice” or, “You’re so funny”. Men will have heard these so many times that they no longer affect his ego. Instead be more subtle and tell him that you think he would be good at climbing, or being on stage; anything that makes him look great. Or, after he’s told you something about himself tell him you’re impressed by what he’s just said.

Get lush locks

Guys love thick hair because it signals to them that you are healthy. If you’re not naturally blessed with thick, luscious hair then use these tricks to look great on your date. When your hair is damp apply mousse to your roots, flip your hair upside down and blow-dry upwards. You should then run straightners over the mid-length sections and ends of your hair. If you’d prefer instantly big hair then opt for hair extensions. You can choose synthetic or real hair.

Be his right hand woman

A packed bar or club may not sound like the perfect end to a great date, but if you want to take things further with your man, then whisk him off into a busy crowd. Being surrounded by lots of people and noise is the perfect disguise for you to firstly, get close to him, and secondly talk to him in his right ear. Oddly, researchers found that men were more generous to their female participant if she asked for something in his right ear.

Pucker up

The success of a date relies upon that end-of-the-night smooch. Firstly, check your lips are in good condition. Exfoliate them with a toothbrush and apply lip balm regularly. Secondly, when the heat of the date is rising, maintain eye contact and add the occasional cheeky smile. Then, once you’re locked in a passionate embrace make sure you bring your hips together to increase one another’s desire, vary the speed and pressure of the kiss and feel free to bite his lip gently.

Get over it

One of the most valuable dating tips that is often forgotten is to laugh when something goes wrong. A date is a high-pressured event that will always be nerve wracking. As a result, bad things often happen. You might spill your drink, fall over or say something dim. Don’t worry though; it’s all about the recovery. If you can laugh the embarrassment away he’ll see you’ve got a great sense of humor and it will break the ice.

Let him know you want himuy

It’s hardly breaking news, but men think about sex a lot. Most men won’t try to sleep with you on the first date though. If you do fancy seeing what he’s like under the sheets then let him know that you feel hot for him – even if you’re not going to sleep with him this time. Be careful though, you don’t want to lead him on. To start you can touch his arm, brush something off from his shirt or rest your leg upon his. Little signs like these will tell him everything.

The health benefits of being in love

Why being in love is good for you

Boxes of chocolates, lavish meals out and those late night fights; there certainly is an unhealthy side to love, but finding that special someone can bring all kinds of health benefits too.

Iif you’ve been considering ditching your partner, or are just feeling a little harassed by love, check out some of these relationship perks which might just remind you that being in love can be good for your health...

Love lowers risk of alcohol abuse

You may be footing a bigger weekly wine bill for all of those cosy nights in, but research has shown that you are less likely to abuse or depend upon alcohol if you are in a relationship. In the study, only four per cent of people who had been in a relationship for between two and four years misused alcohol; whilst only three per cent of those who had been in a relationship for more than five years reported abusing alcohol. However, 12 per cent of the participants who were not in a relationship in their 30’s were described as misusing alcohol and 13.5 per cent of people who had not been in a relationship for more than two years treated alcohol in an unhealthy way.

Love keeps us young

We all know that being in love and making love are two very different scenarios and apparently so does Mother Nature. Being in love is often very trying and can age us; however, research suggests that making love keeps us young. A study conducted by researchers at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Scotland found that those women who have sex four or more times a week look 10 years younger than their actual age. Consultant neuropsychologist Dr David Weeks said that loving couples not only look after their bodies more, but that they also benefit from the physical and emotional effects of sex. So, next time you reach for your anti-ageing cream, maybe opt for the baby oil instead?

Love: good for women, bad for men?

When you think of a married man, do you think of the grumpy, beaten-down stereotype? If you do, then don’t worry, apparently there’s some truth behind this well-worn notion. The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing found that women report a higher quality of life when they are in a relationship, but their husbands or partners report having a significantly lower quality of life. However, although it is possible that relationships fulfill the needs of women more than men, compared to single people, those in a relationship are still happier overall. In a separate study 40 per cent of married couples said they were happy, compared to only 25 per cent of single people.

Love improves our mental health

Love has many physical benefits, but it would seem that men and women who are in a relationship get lots of mental health benefits too. In New Zealand a team at the University of Otago examined 1,000 people. They found that people who had been in a relationship for longer than five years were less likely to be depressed and attempt suicide. Other studies have found similar findings, stating that married people report lower levels of depression and distress. Apparently married men are also half as likely to commit suicide as single men, and one third as likely as divorced men. Perhaps the phrase “you’re driving me crazy” should no longer be used in reference to your partner?

Love gives us more birthdays

Sadly, being in love does not mean you get to have more than one birthday a year. However, it does mean that you get to see more of them. The mortality rates for single males aged between 30 and 59 are two and half times higher than their non-single counterparts! Don’t gloat too much though girls. Single women also face a 23 percent higher mortality rate than those who are married. Researchers suggest that this difference in longevity is due to the fact that most single people have poorer health benefits, a lower income and are socially isolated. Being supported and connected to others is an essential part of keeping healthy.

Love heals the heart

Perhaps it’s no coincidence that love is often depicted using a heart shape. A recent study by researchers at the University of Rochester in New York found that those in a happy relationship are three times more likely to survive heart surgery.  The researchers reported that a good marriage can be as beneficial to the heart as quitting smoking, staying at a healthy weight and reducing high blood pressure. Similar findings were found by those at the University of North Carolina and a study in Human Communication Research.  They both found that being in love and expressing your emotions had a positive impact on cholesterol.

The health benefits of being single

Why being single is good for your health

Single life is underrated. When you’re single you can dance like a crazy thing, flirt with your cute colleague and if your friends ask you to go to LA, then (money aside) why not? Not only can the single life be far more fun, it also has some major health perks. So, if you’re feeling glum about not finding The One, cheer yourself up by checking out these health benefits.

Health benefit of being single 1: Healthier finances

Although marriage can lower costs and create financial opportunities, the event itself costs a huge amount. The average wedding costs £18,500 in the UK – flowers, food and favors certainly add up. However, not only is getting married costly, ending the union is a rather expensive process too. The average cost of ending a marriage through the British courts is about £13,000 per divorce; whilst in the USA the average cost of a divorce is estimated to be around $20,000. And how does this affect your health? The wealthy enjoy significantly better health whilst they are alive, and they live longer than those in low socio-economic groups.

Health benefit of being single 2: Singletons keep fitter

It seems that when you get married, you not only gain a spouse, you also gain a considerable amount of weight. A poll commissioned by the Department of Health found that only 27 percent of adults met the recommended 150 minutes of physical activity each week. Of those 27 per cent, the majority were married. So how much weight does a pair in couple-kingdom gain? According to US researchers it depends on your gender. 46 per cent of the 5,000 ladies who took part in the US study gained at least 20 pounds. However, for the guys the increased weight risk was not as high. Unlike women, men gained the most weight during divorce.

Health benefit of being single 3: More friends

Ditching your buddies for cheeky nights in and romantic dates out is a classic symptom of a serious relationship. However, friendship is a hugely undervalued resource. A 10 year Australian study found that older people with a large amount of friends were 22 per cent less likely to die during the study than those older people with fewer friends. Also Harvard researchers suggested that strong social ties may promote brain health as we age and another study found that those with high social relationships were 50 per cent more likely to survive during the period of study.  So it turns out friends are not just there for secret sharing and karaoke fun.

Health benefit of being single 4: Less fights

It’s pretty obvious that screaming until you’re hoarse and yelling at your partner is no fun. However, research has shown that there may be more sinister health risks associated with fighting with your loved one. One recent study concluded that a stressful marriage can be as bad for the heart as smoking. Other research suggests that a stressful marriage can also be worse for women than men. Women who didn’t speak their minds during a fight were found to be four times more likely to die in the 10-year study period than those women who always told their partners their thoughts.

Health benefit of being single 5: Smaller portions

The fairytale goes… girl meets boy, they fall in love, marry and live happily ever after. What the fairytale doesn’t tell us is that when you meet that someone special you will find yourself feasting on man-sized portions and calorific meals. Women typically gain weight when they begin a relationship because they eat man-sized portions; but men tend to burn calories faster than women. Similarly men gain weight because couples order in more takeaways and eat out too. Considering that the average Indian takeaway contains 1,338 calories and a similar sized Chinese takeaway contains 1,436 calories it is not surprising that couples pile on the pounds.

Health benefit of being single 6: Healing powers

We don’t mean to imply that if you’re single then you can cure broken limbs and nasty cuts with a wink of your eye and a sprinkle of magic dust. However, if you are in a bad relationship with high levels of hostility then your body will take longer to heal injuries. Research was conducted in America to measure how a bad relationship affects people’s immune system.  The researchers blistered participants’ arms to measure how quickly the wounds healed. They found that the blisters on the couples who had a lot of marital stress took a full two days longer to heal than those of couples who had less hostility.

Guys, 10 ways to impress on a date

Your guide to impressing your date

The world of dating can be vicious. If you’ve been dealt one too many foul blows by disastrous dates it can be easy to shy away from women all together. Yet dating isn’t all that hard if you’re able to conquer your fears. On your next night out impress your girl and stop getting ditched by using this disaster proof dating guide:

Turn the tables

It may be the twenty-first century, but research says that women are still attracted to a man’s wealth and status. Research from the University of Haifa has shown that self-promotion works for guys, but only if their boasting appears to be natural. A good way to add in a cheeky piece of self-flattery is to ask your date a question, which once returned will reflect well on yourself.

Choose somewhere noisy

When you think about a perfect date you might think roses, candlelight and romantic music. But according to recent studies it would seem that the cheesy romantic dates aren’t the best option. Instead take your girl somewhere noisy, a place with crowds and loud music. Her senses will become “excited” and this will give her a racing heart rate and an adrenal rush. In turn this will increase her arousal levels.

Get the scent

Research has found that women often choose a partner based upon his scent. So if you want the girl to fancy you make sure you choose the right smell. You should either wear no aftershave, so she can pick up on your natural pheromones, or if you prefer to go with cologne, wear an aftershave that contains liquorice, as this is an alluring smell girls crave.

Show your caring side

We’re all told that women like the bad guys, but it may be time to throw away that bad attitude.  A Canadian study found that women prefer men who are generous, even if she only wants you for just one hot night. You can show your generous side in two ways; either treat her to lavish gifts and food, or if you’re strapped for cash you can talk about lavish gestures you may, or may not, have given in the past.

Pace yourself

Dating can be scary, but it is not as difficult as everyone makes out according to a study by the University of Maryland. Their research suggests that if we want her to think we’re perfect for her, all we have to do is talk at the same pace as her. If you crack this, she’ll instantly believe that you are intelligent, kind, confident and ambitious.

Stand tall

Forget the flowers and expensive restaurants; if you want to impress the most important thing to get right is your body language. When standing, place your feet shoulder length apart. Do not fold your arms in front of your chest. You need to always have an open posture. Lastly, take up room when gesturing and talk with your hands. If you follow these steps you’ll seem more confident and assertive.

Turn up the heat

A date is a little bit like a trapeze act. You must walk the line between showing her you’re great, whilst avoiding boring her with your tales of good deeds. But if you want to show her that you’re a friendly guy, you don’t need to tell her, all you have to do is buy her a hot drink. A study indicated that women who held hot drinks considered those around them to be warmer than when she held a cold drink.

Play her a tune or two

If you go back to yours there is always the dilemma of music. Should you put any on, and if you do what do you choose? The scientists say you should opt for romantic tunes for the back-at-your-flat session. Women who listened to romantic music were more open to the men they talked to. Better dig out that Barry White compilation guys.

Rev up the engine

Since school we’ve always seen the hot girls going for the boys with cars. Although you’ve grown up, sadly it would seem that the girl’s haven’t. The British Journal of Psychology confirms that women love a man who drives an expensive car. Don’t worry if you’re driving around in a below average motor, there are plenty of dream car-hire services - just make sure you’re not going to go on another date with her.

Get cheesy

If you choose to wine and dine your lady remember to always ask to see the dessert menu and if possible order a cheeseboard to share. If your girl doesn’t want to share one with you, just order one for yourself. Mature cheese is supposed to smell very similar to the hormones men release during sex. So whilst you’re tucking into a tasty bit of blue cheese, your girl may find herself feeling horny all of a sudden.
