More women are complaining about how modern men are shying away from relationships because they don’t want to commit and are offering things like sneaky links, FWB, side ngga/chic relationships, etc., but nobody wants to admit that the reason for this is the commercialisation of relationships among both parties (men and women). I will explain.
Modern dating feels like a humiliating ritual. A punishment, in fact. Right now, the worst thing you can be as a man is a boyfriend. Zero benefits whatsoever.
And I particularly find it interesting that men and women don’t want to admit that what they are practising is prostitution and its patronage, finessed as dating.
I have said it before: I find prostitution and prostitutes fascinating. It is an art. Some women saw how valuable the sex market is and decided that, why should I give up this thing called sex to you when there are men willing to pay and go the extra mile to get it?
In this trade, it is the prostitutes who benefit the most. But because of men’s ego, they think they are the biggest winners in the transaction. A prostitute will take your money, have sex with you, and still get pleasure from it. You are giving two things, and she’s taking both. An art.
Let me not digress further: The problem with modern relationships is that nobody wants to be seen as a prostitute or someone who patronises them, so men and women would rather live in deceit than admit that the transactional bullshit they are both indulging in is dating.
* “If you can’t press money, clear.”
* “If you are giving a man your body, he should be paying your bills and other stuff.”
* “I don’t even mind the arrangement; my question is, what am I getting from it? How much is entering my account?😂”
* “Una no fit finish, na me never guide.”
* “I don’t do hookups, but if I’m going, you’ll give me thanks for coming.”
These are prostitution terminologies that are commonly used in modern dating.
You can’t link up with your “girlfriend” when you are broke because you don’t want her to “see you finish.”
You won’t sleep with your boyfriend unless he spends money on you during that period.
Heck, once you start a talking stage, you only take them seriously when they start splurging on you.
What most of you are doing and disguising as a relationship is “money for hand, back for ground,” and there’s a name for it — prostitution.
But instead of being honest with ourselves, instead of owning up to the tag, we’d rather deceive ourselves that what we are doing here is dating.
The women don’t want to be called prostitutes. The men don’t want to be seen as losers who patronise prostitutes. But both of them are practising the very labels they are trying to avoid.
You who are judging your guy for patronising babes at Farm City, will your relationship survive for two months if you go to zero today?
You met a babe last week, sent her money randomly that same week, and she started giving you serious attention. What do you think both of you are doing?😉
The girl you bought a dress for, paid for her hair, nails, and Uber before she agreed to link up with you for a first date, what do you think both of you are doing? 😉
Your talking stage that came to your house and you credited 50k after you both had sex, what do you think the term for that is? What exactly does a “thanks for coming” credit alert mean?😉
A social experiment: Tell your babe that you are not financially buoyant four times in a row this month when she asks you for money, then initiate sex and see her facial reaction.
A lot of your so-called relationships will end today if you tell your babe NO three times. But yeah, you don’t patronise prostitutes.
Modern relationships are just finessed prostitution. You are better off being single than indulging in dating right now, and this is exactly why it seems like everyone, especially men, has commitment issues. We just don’t like to tell ourselves the truth, but as always, I will tell you as it is.

My younger brother who plays for a team in Abuja was telling me about a team mate that he had, they were born in Sweden but after his father had retired, he moved his family to Nigeria.
Now they have stayed in Nigeria for two years and his father had gotten ill, and everything seemed to be working against him. So the father's siblings who also live in Sweden had forced him to come back with his family.
They contributed money and the family moved back to Sweden.
My brother told me that yesterday when they had went for training, their coach informed them that the boy had joined a second division club in Sweden.
The boy is 19, I have seen him play and the way he plays, you simply know that something is different about how he plays but he had gone to several trials in Nigeria with NPFL sides and everytime he was not picked.
In Sweden, he had joined his old team to train for a couple weeks and his coach has spoken to a second division club sporting director, he was invited for a trial and he aced their trial.
He got signed and he is being told that if he does well this season, he will move to the Allsvenskan.
Geography is destiny.

Good night, FPL managers. ❤️
It’s been a long and tough grind, but I absolutely love this community.
I love reading your thoughts, celebrating your hauls with you, and trying to make you laugh when things don’t go our way. 😂
You’re all amazing. ❤️
Good luck tomorrow and in the next GW! 🍀⚽️
See you soon, managers. 👊

This is supposed to be a Mukiele appreciation post, but I wrote it slightly differently...
Every season, there are players who just… kept returning. No social media hype, no flashy underlying numbers, no “content creator seal of approval”. Week after week, they quietly tick along. Mukiele is one of them.
Cheap. Plays for a newly promoted team. Sometimes not even a conventional defcon magnet. Every GW, you look at him and your brain says: “Bench this guy.” But somehow, you start him. You followed your heart. And somehow… he returns. Again.
We’ve seen this story before plenty of times this season. Think Guehi during his Palace days. Summerville recently. Think MGW still flying under the radar because people assume his team “doesn’t attack enough”. Or Aaronson in a Leeds side that keeps surprising people. Or Harry Wilson, not all content creators love him because his data isn’t flashy enough.
Sometimes, you just happened to own one of these players. You don’t even remember why you bought them. And suddenly, you’re on the receiving end of comments like: “Lucky.” “Casual.” “Vibes merchant". "Fucking Idiot" (yeah some felt there is a need to curse)
Because while others spent hours munching data, only to end up buying players who missed sitters. Meanwhile, your guy gets a goal or assist from basically 0 xGI.
Here’s what I want to say: ignore the noise. Yes, sometimes we make hipster picks. And we can’t fully justify them. (I had Szoboszlai for his haul last GW after all the blanks. I’ve held Semenyo since GW3. All for no reason. Just vibes, and a bit of patience.) And no, I still don't own Enzo, or Joao Pedro, or Rice, or double Arsenal defence. Yes they will punish me at some point, but you can't have everyone. We’re only given one FT per GW. And not everyone wants to chase every new shiny toy using hits. And that’s absolutely fine.
A message for angry 😡 people (if you are somehow still reading it without flipping your table):
If you feel like every “well-studied, high-ceiling” transfer blanks the moment you buy them, maybe there’s something being overlooked. The fact is sometimes, your players do haul. Let’s be honest, everyone has players who do. You just subconciously brush it off as “That’s what they’re supposed to do.” You take it for granted. But when things go wrong, you remember magnify single detail. There’s no space left in your heart to appreciate the good.
That’s why in a bad GW, I always look for silver linings. For example Schade got sent off this GW, you almost bought him, but you didn't. That's luck, it could've been a lot worse for you. Sometimes, not losing points is a win in itself.
So don't apologize for being "lucky", and never let others define whether you are a good FPL manager or not. #FPL #FPLCommunity

💎 FPL Top Tips GW22:
(Opinions not Facts, irrespective of phrasing)
1. Antoine Semenyo
I expect him to start, and to still be a very good option.
- Hasn’t had European football this season, so his body is probably far from a fatigued state, especially compared to some of the others.
- Abundance of quality. Transition, block breaking, holding width, coming inside, set pieces, defensive work, pressing, ball striking, variety of finishes.
All are very useful, but to have all those attacking qualities AND the defensive ones in this game, playing under Pep - big boost for selection.
- Can’t play the two UCL league stage games, so can get rested then, and play in the PL.
- Can play LW/RW.
- Cheap all things considering.
- Has started his City career extremely well (form).
- High floor, High ceiling through his quality and the quality around him?
Massively oversold.
🔵
2. Enzo Fernandez
His long term xMins are slightly overrated.
We have so many games coming up in the next two months.
In this system, he’s got weaknesses which get exposed when playing in the pivot.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Caicedo + Santos/Reece in the pivot at times, with Palmer/JP #10.
Even if it’s just for one or two games, that’s still below the largely expected continuous 90s.
Fixtures are great.
I appreciate his underperformance, and the expectation that he’ll make some of it up at least.
Don’t think he’s the best finisher/pocket player, so would still expect him to underperform.
Just to a smaller degree!
That may sound negative, but I do like him quite a bit as an option.
Fixtures, positioning, quality, price - all in his favour.
Just don’t think he’s as good as made out to be, whilst still being good.
🔵
3. Phil Foden
Rest against Exeter, 62’ against Newcastle.
Super high ceiling player, against an average defence, in a fixture he loves, with Wolves (H) after, and is rested.
Keep!
🔵
4. Selling Ekitike is crazy. A top player with BUR (H)!!!
He’s closer to being the captain than the man to make way.
🔵
5. Rice/Rogers my favourite Cunha replacements.
Cunha isn’t a hard sell, nor a definite keep.
A very subjective matter, where both perspectives are very fair.
Rogers is underrated. That long term fixture run looks great.
He’s taken his game up a notch this season, and looks more assured in that final third.
Rice the easiest set and forget. I expect more goals from this season, a fair few AT LEAST!
IF Arsenal win the league, he’s likely going to score a very impressive number of goals, and win POTS comfortably. I’m so confident of that, especially the second part.
🔵
6. Bruno G is a tough call, but wouldn’t go there.
Fixtures get tough soon, and lack of DEFCON.
(If he kept hauling wouldn’t surprise me though)
🔵
7. Prefer Wilson to Tavernier due to ceiling
🔵
8. Thiago not essential this week, but Brentford have a good chance of scoring against us.
Ekitike as a long term hold I really like.
🔵
9. Captaincy
Negatives for Haaland this week:
- Fatigue
- Greater share of goal scoring output with Semenyo’s arrival (and he likes to shoot)
- New manager bounce, Utd derby at 12:30, feel good factor etc.
Positive - everything else
Not saying not to captain, but justifiable grounds to pivot.
🔵
10. Palmer’s a bad buy. Injury is a killer on so many levels.
🔵
11. Double CHE DEF is very risky, but not stupid.
Low floor, high ceiling.
🔵
Good luck

Top 10 tips for FPL GW15 ✅
🧢 Captain Haaland - No reason to go different
🎯 Target City, Newcastle, United and Brighton players on FH15
🐝 Tottenham (A) is a good entry point for Thiago
👀 Ones to watch: Woltemade, Minteh, Neto, Bruno G and Foden
🆓 You get 5 free transfers on Saturday for GW16, make sure not to burn any you have now
🏰 Newcastle have great long term fixtures: Woltemade, Bruno, and Thiaw the safest triple up
🦅 Selling Mateta is 60/40 for me, not finishing well and limited minutes but playing a leaky Fulham
⚠️ Sell Caicedo → Bruno G, Minteh and Xhaka my favourite replacements
🔁 Expect some rotation this week, especially for teams in Europe
📝 Start planning for GW16, I wouldn't use all 5 FT's in one go unless your team is on its last legs
Enjoy this GW, have a good week, and drop anything you want to ask me below 👇
