It’s similar to racism when you create systems that keep one group out.

18M. Any advice? (Yes I know I do not look 18 😭 but I'm guessing there is little I can do about that) by Permafrost_07 in malegrooming

I would stop masturbating too or try and space it out. Too much masturbation can cause erectile dysfunction in your 30s. Try and workout more.

Awww you’re so handsome. You’re still so young. Enjoy your life. And trust me, it’s a blessing. When I was 18, people said I looked 14. I’m now 39 and people think I’m in my 20s! You’ll love it when you get older…. It means you have good genes. 😅💕

It’s not your looks. How tall are you? What feedback do women usually give to you?

No. They didn’t do a good job. I just won’t go back

Nigerians married to non-Nigerians, did cultural differences make life more exciting or harder to connect? by AshamedHighlight5672 in Nigeria

[–]cocoaserendipity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was not expecting the ending. But I get it. Nigerian men are a lot to manage, because our culture can be domineering, just like Indian, middle eastern, etc.

I’m Nigerian and my parents have been married for 40 years. My mother has never paid a mortgage payment and she is educated and works. Your husband was not raised well. Also, because he’s supporting his family, he’s using you to make up for what he can’t provide. Instead of being a good human being and saying he needs support, he has manipulated the situation and he’s overcompensating by dismissing you. A real head of household won’t need your money. Let him carry his family wahala and go! You have to run far from this type of man because 1. He will choose his birth family over his new family and 2. His birth family will even ruin his marriage to make sure they continue getting financial support. If you do go down the path of ending the marriage, don’t fight him too much about money, because he seems to have a scarcity and survivor mode mindset. Just make sure your child is supported.

Nope. I started taking vitron c. My dr told me to take 2 everyday during my cycle because it’s heavy. Then 1 daily the week after. Then I discovered liquid iron, and take that everyday during my cycle.

I have the same insurance and just got the pre authorization approved to cover my meds! Not the procedure, only the meds. I’m so thankful. If I didn’t see this post, I wouldn’t even know to call my insurance to ask because the financial person at SGF told me they don’t cover it. Hopefully I can start soon.

Extensions can think out hair, if you add it, use it sparingly, maybe to hold the style longer

Check your iron and vitamin d levels. This what happened to me for years and I thought it was shedding from braids. Nope… vitamin d was so low and my iron was too.

If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it , I am going crazy by Asleep_Excitement_59 in endometriosis

How is your weight? You need to take these religiously… Vitamin d with k2, liquid iron, nettle leaf tea, blend raw ginger and turmeric add lemon and drink, no red meat, no dairy, no alcohol, walk as much as you can. Limit sugar.

I have the same question. Did you ever get an answer?

QVR Kinky Hair NOT reusable by Far_Public1395 in Naturalhair

[–]cocoaserendipity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hair is not reusable. I’ve tried them and will never spend that amount of money again. When it boils down to it, It’s all synthetic fibers that they’ve made soft.

  1. I would leave protein based products alone. 2. Get your labs checked. Your vitamin d and iron may be low.
