Hot Girls are one of God’s great creations. Think about it, they are the only breed of human that is appreciated by all humankind regardless of sexual orientation. Straight, Gay, Bi, or Les, We all stand in appreciation of the phenomenon that is the hot girl. I, your resident relationship theorist often muse on the role that hot girls play in our society. As a result I have in the past brought you such insights as the Hot Girl Syndrome and the Cheerleader effect. I am now pleased to introduce another one to my adoring public. This particular insight is a little thing known as The Selectivity Principle. This particular one is near and dear to my heart because it rights a great wrong that has been done to our hot girls. It once and for all debunks the assertion that hot girls in general tend towards slutiness

So let’s break it down:

Say you have two girls, Hot Jane and Plain Jill who are both 25 years old. Hot Jane is a 9 out of 10 in the looks department, while Plain Jill is a 6. Assume both girls have about a 10% gel ratio. For those of you that don’t know it just means that they will gree for 10% of the guys that hit on them. Now let us further say that Hot Jane being a 9 would have about 100 guys hit on her for every 50 that hit on Plain Jill who is a 6. Now as they have the same gel ratio, this will mean that Hot Jane would have been with 10 guys while Plain Jill would have been with 5.

Now as most people would only see the 10 and the 5 and they would naturally think that Hot Jane is a bit of a ho compared to Plain Jill. As you can now see, this is patently unfair. I mean Hot Jane would have to have a gel ratio of 5% to be considered as “good” as Plain Jill. Is it right that a girl be held to a higher standard just because she is hot?

Consider that the next time you call that random hot girl a strumpet.

Well the hiatus was again longer than I planned, but I supposed y'all are used to that by now. Anyway we continue our journey with discussions of those luminary individuals that I would term my Blog Fam. Yes I like to believe that I do have blog people that do indeed care about my well being- or rather have cared about my well being at sometime in the past. The last caveat is that y'all should also consider the Mona mentioned in the last post as one of me blog fam.

Daddy's Girl: She will always have the dubious claim to fame that she was the other first person to leave a comment on my blog. In that I didn't know her in real life. You know the friends that know you blog don't really count (just kidding mona). Anyway her blog was an interesting mix of insightful commentary and short stories. There was some personal stuff in there also I suppose, but then again that's a general blog for you. There were a lot of stories I liked on her blog, but the highlight post for me was classroom politics Part 1 and Part 2. Unfortunately she's no longer around, but the blog is still up and you can delve into back issues if you so desire :D

Confused Naija Girl: aka my second blog wife. I would leave it to her to explain that one since I never got her reason :D. We started blogging at around the same time and she was one of the blog celebs of that time ;) I clearly wasn't but she read me anyway. Her blog was the definition of personal, and her raw honesty gained her a devoted following (well percieved "raw honesty" she could have being lying her arse off of course). She put that to good use in her Share Your Story series which was my selection for her highlight post. I would have selected her tribute to me as the highlight but she took it down with the other posts (apart from SYS) when she left blogville :D.

Olawunmi: He was one of the people that got linked a lot in the early days. Bloggers (mostly girls) went on about his poetry and the like. I read some of his stuff and liked it, came back for more. Something about poetry makes me reach for my critic hat, and he was kind enough not to run me off as the pretentious git that I was :D. I even did a guest post about the fugees on his blog, the only guest spot I ever did. He was the picker during blogger bachelorette, london buki ended up being his lady love. He too has been sporadic in his affections for blogville even though he found his way back about a week ago. The Highlight post for me was his post on past relationships. The rejoinders written by guest posters were also worth a look. Hopefully he will find blogville a little more often in the coming year but if not, his back issues are also the hotness.

36: I suppose I have to add her, only to avoid her hunting me down and killing me. Really I don't want to count her as one of the fam, but she believes that threatening people is the way to do things. I think her black belt has gone to her head. I suppose it was almost a given that we became friends, after all we work in the same industry and she beats up okada riders for fun (always a pastime of mine). However she claims she had a dream about me way back when, but now that there is a rock on her finger she is denying it :D She is also no longer around but she drops in occasionally. Highlight post for me is the london shopping trip - though that is mainly because of the drama. What can I say, drama sells.

There you have it, the first five (if you count mona) of my fam outlined for your reading pleasure. Will be back in the near future with the final installment of the fam edition. Stay tuned if you dare... Fine please come back :D laters.

This post / series was a long time in the making, and work jumped up at me and kept me from posting (fine laziness played a role). For some reason I never got around to putting up a blog roll. I have at least 50 Nigerian blogs on my rss reader and have a passing familiarity with a few more. I'm not up with all the gist but I get around.

So in honor of my 2-year anniversary doing the whole blog thing ,which was sometime in the end of October, I decided to finally set up my blogroll. However I decided to also do a bit more than that, and give a brief description of the blogs I read in addition to setting up a blog roll. Another disclaimer is that a number of the blogs have also gone offline, and are no longer active. To those who have gone, call this an itty bitty tribute.

As they say you should always start at the beginning. So without further ado, we start with the blogs I read before I started blogging. As most bloggers know, you read a lot of blogs before you start blogging, but the ones below are those that I read consistently:

Dilichi: One of the first blogs I read, it was funny, well written, and had a huge following in those days. Highlight post for me was the Island vs Mainland post, come and see racking as people claimed up and down the place for their favorite side. The blog was what I classify as an opinion blog, something similar to mine. She wrote about what interested her, as opposed to what went on in her life. She ended up leaving us with a few gems in her time in blogville, so if you haven't had a chance to check her out, just add her to your reader or run through the back issues.

Mona: Another of the early blogs I read, and one that should get props for continually being in existence through out my time on blogger. She is generally an events blogger and is normally up to speed on stuff going on in las gidi and on the expat scene. She also did a few non-events posts and got a guest blogger by the name of Suzy Peaches. Like most of the oldies, she has slacked off a bit in recent times but she still manages to keep her hand in. I should also mention that she was the first person to comment on my blog, which of course makes her famous :D

T-Minx: Another general opinion blog that I was reading a lot. Didn't really comment much, and beefed continually that she did not have an rss feed (i think she has remedied that now). For ever grateful to her for her definition of the various crews of lagos: the I Feel Alright moniker is still a classic. As a shameless recognition seeker, I wanted to appear on her Friday Gist series as one of the noteable posts, or new blogger discoveries, but I never did. Oh well as they say "a man's reach should exceed his grasp"

So those are the main three that I read before I dived into the whole blogging thing. I will continue this tale of reading next time, with the Fam. Laters.
