The Other Man
The Other Man exists
I have seen him
Infact, I have been him on more than a couple of occasions.
Was I upset?
Not really
You see, I was content being the other man
Scratch that, I was happy
Not like I didn't care
I just didn't care enough
I got what I wanted, no strings attached
No commitment, no nothing
Just sex
Isn't that the ultimate?
And now?
I swear, if I see this Other Man anywhere near me & my girl, I'd kill him
Because I recognise him
A testosterone junkie
Or as SolomonSydelle just called us, wolves.
Why do we do this?
Why do we allow our sex drive to control us and destroy lives?
Is it true that blood leaves our brain and flows to our penile section, so we lose the ability to think with our brains and instead think with our *ahem*
Why do some women want to kill us?
Are we really cold hearted?
Cruel?
The truth is that non of us are ever really sure of what we want until late.
We don't grow up
Some never even grow up
By that time, we have left a chain of broken hearts.
So, when you see any of us behaving like dogs....
Don't hate us
Pity us
Someone else can finish this.
Infact, I throw the gauntlet to Jinta aah
I owe y'all pictures of the Lagos I saw upon my return.
I'll put them up in my next post.
Peace

Kai, i am not first.....but nearly...hehehhehe
The other man...yeah he exists allright...
Not cos we want to hurt you guys but we've learnt the hard way not to put all our eggs in one basket..
Is it sexual?? Sometimes.
Are there feelings??? Sometimes.
Is it possible he over throws the main man???? Definately, if the main man doesn't behave...

The other man exists quite alright and sometimes, so does the other woman
i've had other men n my life b4. well not really other men. i was dating around, not committed 2 anyone. so technically, they were all other men. did any of dem mind? i think most tot i was out 2 get my groove on & happily obliged me. one or two wanted it 2 become a relationship, wit no luck. i distrust turning flings 2 blokes. somehow i feel it's a doomed relationship!
kiterunner was a good book..but i prefer his new one! have u tried it??
it sure hurts to know there's another woman
especially when u're givin him 101%
hurt is so hurtful trust me
especially when u're givin him 101%
hurt is so hurtful trust me
no matter how much u try
the truth is that
ur heart belongs to only one persif u like spread ur crate of eggs in 24 baskets

u see tobenna..this is why i dig u so much..u are a truth teller!nothing more nothing less...i like the wolves analogy..tho dont be too hard on urself, you seem to have found a person that will tame ur inner wolf..for the most part :)
Agree with GNG this post was filled with honesty regarding "the other man". Having befriended "the other man" once he gave his reason for getting into these types of relationship on his lack of trust of women.
Reflections or you're just trying to make a case for rats? At least you do well small.
I dont know why guys do this but a simple eat cake and have it may explain it. God help all of us.

Great post, I thot u r a chauvinist. Guess am wrong. SO, why have you abandoned my blog?
I like.
Very straightforward and honest.
I pity men but Im going to pull the God card out here and say with God I think self control is possible. I read a blog, where a guy who was previously very sexually active & promiscuous changed dramatically after he formed a strong bond with God. I also have a guy friend who is also strongly bonded to God and is very much in control. But I am not a guy so I cant really say much.

ah, the wolf I spoke about was not 'the other man' oh. If that where what the wolf was doing, I wouldn't waste my site page on that story, after all, people have a right to have half-hearted relationships, sebi?
Anyway, how your wifey? Greet am for me oh!

Tobenna, (i'm always tempted to shorten ur name to Tobe, just stop myself everytime), u still remain of the most honest guy with these write-ups of yours.
Afro is right, though not always the case, once a guy cant show 100% commitment, there will always be a threat of another guy.
read Aphrodite's issues with X and O, u'll get the picture.

I Tobenna, got ur comment on mi-blog. Of course u have being there b4. I thot u were a chauvinist as deduced from a lot of your comments on blogvilles. Just my persception. I am still watching out to see if I am right though.

The other man...
I hate to think it's a man why can't it be a woman? maybe like...the other woman? Lol! 'woman' even has a 'man' in it!
Sincere thoughts...
Nice blog!

I agree with Afro all the way. It is, however, refreshing to have an honest male's opinion around here, though the truth sometimes hurts and leaves us more flustered.
Update now. or else...
Hmmm 'wolves' is a fitting term
And.. 'shooting from the hip?' you are implying I was blogging recklessly.
And although I am an anonymous blogger.. Why wouldn't I admit to it in real life? Is it a post to be ashamed of?
Lol...explain it to me por favor

This cheating thing happens to the best of us. Both men and women have fallen prey to it. It's a sad, sad case.
I can only pray that my future husband does not have the other woman. Hmmm.

where did my comment go????. hmmm. blogger!!anyways i pray ur wifey doesnt have the other man in her life and u as well. ami oruko jesu (im getting better in yoruba). really like d fact that u r sincere. how u n wifey???
guy, why are you painting in such a bad light, like we are weaklings...wolves is alright but they should keep their pity...very nice blog, simple template
I think I've had a 'the other man' before. Lord have mercy, but thank God it wasn't serious. It was just as a result of boredom.
I really do like your honesty. Truth is women could have the same problem too, but I guess it's easier for them to control cos as someone once said, men think of the here and now, while women think of the future (well, 80% of women do so 50% of the time).

The other man...my friends and I call him UPS - backup in case the main man has a major malfunction, UPS will be there as backup to keep the server going.
It's not a pretty situation but a lot learns have been learnt over the years.

...interesting...although you guys know good and well what the hell you want...regular ass with the ability to taste others when you desire...along with the biology of it all is definitely some selfishness and narcissism mixed in there...
...as for women, i think its the same although i don't know that we were always that way...i think we're learning from you guys;)...nice post...well done sir...

Which other woman are they all talking about? In my own case I dont even know which one of them is the real one. They are all at the quarter-final stage now maybe the one that wins will be the real one.
Thank you ojare for visiting my blog. C ya.

ok, why am i so upset?
thanks for the honesty. I just got over a man who wasnt seru=ious about comitting. It is well. Some men arent willing to admit it though.
I personally just want to know if I'm being played, so I can get out and move on to something better—it's too much work to store up murderous rage over the whole thing.
I hope you never have to deal with The Other Man, and that your fiancée never has to worry that you have another woman.
