MEN WILL ALWAYS STARE.



By Dzifa A. Caroline




It never hurts to find yourself ogling as a man. Really. I say this because women, even without fake eyelashes and boobs or make up are deliciously good to look at

So men ogle. It is a skill that has been passed from forefathers and when a daughter of Eve sashays past, they stop and stare — at her curves, eyes, lips, legs, hair, gait… Yes, men stare



 

Seven-year-old boys stare. Grandpas ogle. Presidents and the ordinary man alike can’t help staring when a lovely woman walks past. Sorry, let me correct that — she doesn’t have to be lovely. When a woman walks past, even a witch, men stare.






They bump into lampposts, smash into walls, drive off the road and risk bicycle accidents because when a woman passes by, they can’t help turning and craning their necks for that last look.

I remember walking a few times with some of my male friends as they turn and catch a glimpse at another girl pass by. Particularly with Efo Mawuli from Ghana, he would look in the direction the lady is supposed to go; making it seem like the lady fell into his view path, and then he stares. If he’s interrupted, be sure he would turn the second time to catch the last view. He says every time he’s questioned, ‘staring at ladies feed the male eyes’. 

He even has another school of thought that staring at ladies boobs improves their health and adds up to their life span.

 






Another friend from Kenya, Ted confessed to his childhood girlfriend that he couldn’t help but stare at another girl passing by because, ‘ the woman walking ahead of us had a bottom so well shaped only an artist could have sculptured it. 

Her legs evoked the rumble of distant thunder and when she walked, her grace was such that you understood instantly why Pokot warriors (used to) raid livestock for dowry’’. She was simply beautiful. After staring he turned to the girlfriend and said, ‘you are the most beautiful girl on earth’. 

How interesting! I bet you are wondering if the girlfriend whacked him across the face, but fortunately, that was in 1993, long before Nyeri women began Nyerifying their men. Instead, she laughed and said, “Okay!”So when they passed the lovely thing, he did what every respectable man would do in similar circumstances: he twisted his neck around and ogled — for just one last time.

Ha! And I almost forgot about Dr Ampaw Maurice,the most celebrated legal practitioner/commentator of the 2012 Election Petition in Ghana. He stated on Viasat TV that staring at women is something he loves to do. But most glorious of all, being a man allows you to behold the scented flowers that God bequeathed you on an almost daily basis; 

A WOMAN. I am proud to be watched, what about you?.

The male dominance in TV3′s Mentor  came to an end in the wee hours of Monday, August 19, 2013 when Roselyn Akosua Mantey, popularly called Akos, was adjudged winner of Season VII of the station’s flagship reality show.  She beat competition from Gabriel Ansah, populalrly known as Gabby, and Honny Kingsley Theophilus, also known as Honny, to walk away with the sleek Hyndai Accent saloon car.

SPECIAL EDITION: PRAY OVER YOUR MARRIAGE and another love story

Dear readers,  Words are powerful. I have learnt to let most of the things I say be positive and contain a prayer. Praying God's word over your marriage is important.  Marriage is a blessing from God, but it is not always cherished the way it should be; Maybe because life gets busy, or we get distracted; Maybe because we start to take one another for granted; Or we disagree and let resentments hang on longer than they should. Hm! I was taught recently that the baggages we bring along from our past, into our marriages are a great burden as well. We take these baggages for granted but believe you me, most old baggages, are the cause of most broken marriages.  Some baggages are in the form of old girlfriends and boyfriends who are witches and wizards, or left some kind of spiritual bonding with your spouse. Some are in the form of just clingy exes. Some baggages may even just be low self esteem or extreme high expectations. When joined as ''one'', a new battle to...

Making the effort part 3 (TAKEN FOR GRANTED?)

Bonjour a tous, We have discussed conciously making up our minds to work on our marriages or relationships.  We have learnt to go to God in difficult situations, we have decided divorce is not an option. Does that mean we give a green pass to our spouse to be unfaithful to us?  Or for our spouses to neglect the core values of spicing up the marriage and keeping it enjoyable.  Marriage is about consisently doing life together. what do we do in our daily lives.  Lets remind ourselves; sleep, wake up, prepare breakfast, eat, take a shower, wash dishes, go to work, attend to peoples needs, come back home, have dinner, take another bath, sleep! Oh I think I left out prayer! And if you have kids under ten(not in all cases), helping them take a bath and getting ready for school and bed.  And making sure they are fed. On weekends its a whole new plan which may include more or less activities.  Can we think of not hurting our spouses or keeping them...
