International Men's Day: The Great Debate! 🀷‍♂️

Let's talk about the one day of the year where everyone suddenly becomes an expert on men's issues, gender equality, and the correct way to load a dishwasher. πŸ˜‚ The Humorous Observation Controversial Take 1 (The Light-Hearted Jab): You know it's International Men's Day when your social media feed is a 50/50 split between genuinely supportive messages and people complaining that "Every day is Men's Day!" (Usually posted by someone who hasn't been asked to lift anything heavy since their last gym session.) Controversial Take 2 (The Sneaky Truth): The most common gift men receive today is usually the opportunity to fix something, followed closely by the suggestion that they should probably learn to grill better. But in all seriousness (mostly), today is about acknowledging the complex realities of being a man. It's about mental health struggles that often go unspoken, the pressure to be a stoic provider, and the vital role of positive male role model...

The 'Closed Book' Problem: When Is Emotional Distance a Dealbreaker?

Image
It’s the most common breakup clichΓ©: "They just wouldn't open up." We treat relationships like a library. We demand that our partner hands us a fully indexed, cross-referenced emotional biography on Day One, complete with a timeline of past trauma and a detailed, five-year emotional forecast. If they insist on remaining a ‘closed book,’ we throw a fit, declare them emotionally stunted, and return them to the shelf. But let's be controversial for a minute: Is demanding total, immediate vulnerability actually for their growth, or is it a selfish need for control disguised as a “deep connection”? The truth is, many modern breakups don't happen because of a genuine lack of love, but because of a lack of convenient, easily accessible emotional data. If we can't immediately understand their motivations, their fears, and their inner workings, we decide the relationship is too much work. We want the CliffsNotes of their soul, not the 500-page memoir. The M...

The 3 Acts of the Closed-Book RomanceAct 1: The Locked DiaryStruggles arrive in Morse code—hints, half-sentences, “you wouldn’t understand

The 3 Acts of the Closed-Book Romance Act 1: The Locked Diary Struggles arrive in Morse code—hints, half-sentences, “you wouldn’t understand.” You nod, you pay, you wait for the director’s cut. Act 2: The Silent Treatment Upgrade Bad days? Radio silence. Big questions? “It’s complicated.” You start filling in blanks with your own cash and sanity. Act 3: The Mic-Drop Monologue You request basic subtitles. Response: “I can’t explain.” Plot twist—the book was never meant to open. Quietly Savage Take #1 If someone needs a lunar cycle to articulate “why today sucked,” they’re not deep—they’re encrypted malware. Quietly Savage Take #2 Funding silence is the fastest way to bankrupt your peace. Real partners leak details; pros leak you. Quietly Savage Take #3 “Good day” after “I can’t explain” is corporate jargon for “I’m ghosting you with HR politeness.” The Mute-Button Power Flip You ask. They vanish. You exhale. Your phone stops playing detective. Your heart stops playing sponsor. Your futu...

Do Men Still Want Good Girls, or Just Vibes?

Image
Once upon a time, men said they wanted Proverbs 31 women. Now, half are chasing IG baddies with soft-life captions. 🀷🏾‍♂️ Here’s the messy truth: Some men want the “good girl” but can’t handle the discipline she demands.Some want the “fun vibe” but cry when she vibes with everyone else.  And some want both—a saint in public, sinner in private. Spoiler alert: they rarely find it. The bigger problem? Nobody defines what “good” means anymore. For some, it’s morals. For others, it’s cooking skills. For some it’s just “does she stress me or not?” So what do men really want? Depends on the man. But one thing’s clear—mixed signals create messy outcomes.   Men—would you rather marry a woman with no past or one who can cook a mean pilau? πŸ“² Follow @SimonsMessyTruth’s on Facebook πŸ’¬ WhatsApp: 0750536279 πŸ”₯ Like.

Is Marriage Still Worth It?

Image
In a world of soft life, situationships, and “let’s just vibe,” is marriage still the endgame—or just the sequel nobody finishes? πŸ€” On one side: security, stability, God’s plan. On the other: divorces, toxic unions, and memes about “single life is peaceful.” The struggle is real. Many fear marriage not because of commitment, but because they’ve only seen broken ones. Meanwhile, others dive in hoping it’s TikTok-level romance, forgetting marriage is less “vacation selfies” and more “budget meetings.” So is it still worth it? Depends on your vision. If you want partnership, growth, legacy—yes. If you’re looking for constant fireworks, stay in the streets. πŸ‘‰ In 2025, is marriage a blessing—or just an expensive sleepover?  

Kwani Kucheat Sasa Ni Normal Aje?

These streets are wild. People out here treating cheating like it’s just another Netflix subscription—“everybody has it.” 🀦🏾‍♂️ Once upon a time, cheating was a scandal. Now it’s content. Screenshots, memes, TikToks, messy truths. It’s no longer “oh my God, he cheated,” it’s “drop receipts or it didn’t happen.” image.png But here’s the paradox: maybe cheating hasn’t suddenly exploded. Maybe social media just turned the lights on in a room where nonsense was always happening. The real drama? We’re normalizing it. Like heartbreak is a hobby. Like betrayal is character development. Humor aside, let’s be real: If loyalty is rare, protect it. If cheating feels “normal,” maybe your circle is the problem. Don’t let dysfunction become your standard.   Between men and women—who cheats smarter, not harder? πŸ“² Follow @SimonsMessyTruth’s on Facebook πŸ’¬ WhatsApp: 0750536279 πŸ”₯ Like. Share. Comment.

Nimpost Ama Nisimpost?

You ever sat there scrolling your feed, fingers itchy, wondering—“Nimpost ama nisimpost?” πŸ˜… Because let’s be real, in 2025 having a relationship is not just about love—it’s a whole PR project. The moment you tag bae, the whole world feels entitled to a seat at your dinner table. aded13a1-c639-4bd3-a8fd-c97fd4d0554b.png  When your relationship is a public project, not a private journey.    Challenge number one: the audience. Your relationship instantly stops being two people and becomes a community project. Aunties in diaspora, haters from high school, your ex lurking with popcorn. Everyone is “watching.” One fight and suddenly your post of “my forever” looks like satire. Challenge number two: the pressure. Public love has deadlines. You must like, comment, post couple pics or else…“Is everything okay?” Bro, sometimes I just want to love silently without feeling like a content creator for my own relationship. Challenge number three: the exit strategy. Private breakups are...
