Image totally unrelated to the post!Dedication to you guys Ndeipi Blogville!!
I watched He’s Just Not That Into You over the weekend, loved it! Now at the beginning of the movie you get women from all over the world giving excuses to why the guy didn’t call, and its only fair to have African women too…the African females are in a rural setting, doing their laundry and they start speaking…and its SHONA(by now you all know that's a Zimbabwean language right?If not...mnxiiii ie kissing my teeth Zim-style), yebo-yes, but it was badly pronounced, they said the wrong word that we guessed what they meant..my very own language was murdered in this movie!!I kissed my teeth and shouted out with my friend 'Haa Pfutsek!'1. So that’s how the world views Africa, wild animals roaming about and living in mud huts yup even in these trying and difficult times…Zimbabwe isn’t some village!! But then that’s the thing with stereo-types they aren’t always correct!
I have a few 'light-hearted' ones:
a) Big guys = big tings…(u know what I'm talking about!!)
Unfortunately for some Big guys = chipolatas!! My friend says some might have suffered ‘shrinkage’ after going to the gym and all..lol!
b) Sexy person = Sexy Voice
Gosh, have you ever seen some-one and given them an accent or a voice, deep, sensual, smooth and then from the moment they say ‘Hello’ that’s it??Its like wrong voice dude, wrong voice?
c) Sexy voice = Sexy Person
Some radio dee-jays have disappointed many a listener!!
d) Black Women = Big Booty
Not all black women have big booty...some have small ones..lol..Afro don't even think about it!!..lol..
e) Short guys = compensatory behaviour, short-man syndrome, egotistical
Honestly I’m still on the fence with this one because some short guys have the arrogance of André the Giant..lol..I've been told that 'dynamite comes in small packages' so who knows *naughty grin on my face*wink*wink*..lol..
Over to you my darlings, any you would like to share?Love to you guys and as always happy sexing xoxo
'Haa Pfutsek' - is the Southern African version of 'Voertsek' which is Afrikaans for 'F-off'

babe, i think im first, lemme go read!
big guys can = small tins...too much steroids! dudes, lay off the poison!
lol
i have been burnt seriously many times by b and c! kai!!
So the critiques panned the film.. So much for an experts opinion huh? I reckon short men tend to 'over'compensate with their attitudes hence come across as arrogant. And 'No' it's not personal experience.. :-)
Been fooled by the sexy voice though.. gotta admit.
lol @ bumight
let me see?
cute guy = wonderful manner
but his perception of women is bad.
sorry about ur lang they messed up...... i remember an episode of Lost that had a yoruba village and they made d language sound very funny...
on stereotypes, im a black woman and i dont ve a big booty :(
ive met short guys that r so arrogant, gosh!
hey! just dropping by to show some love!
Ha! Big men DO NOT equal big things, in fact i think it's totally opposite.
I have to watch that movie!
hey! Most or nearly all radio guys end up being a far cry from what you expect!
I agree with the short people syndrome, they have issues!
lol at how they murdered your language...think it was bourne identity that something similar happened in Yoruba…first time I ever heard Yoruba is a English film was ‘carry on jungle’…can you imagine…I was very young maybe like 8 yrs old so it just didn’t compute to me as a child cos people in my dad’s village, speaking Yoruba, didn’t live in the jungle!!!
i can't wait to see the flim...but it is our job to educate them sha...i used to get real pissy with in school when people asked if i swung from trees...when they found out my background was more privileged then they got pissy back.
big muscle men i hear equals small thing down there...
sexy face and not a sexy voice...example david beckham...need i say more
i got blessed with bootilicious so amen to that
the one i hear more often is african woman big breasts
I have been fooled by the sexy voice= sexy person oh so many times!!! And i still haven't seen He's just not into you, but maybe this weekend :-)
Number E is SOOOOOO TRUE! God save us from the Napoleon complex!
This is not a sterotype, it is a psychological fact boo. Sorry about the African thing. You wont believe what I heard from a ghanian a while ago. She said most of Africa thinks Nigerians are arrogant, corrupt and untrustworthy. Now, that is a hurtful sterotype. I am still fuming weeks later and everytime I see her I want to scream so now I just avoid her, otherwise my resolution to be graceful will just fly out the door. XOXOXO and happy sexing dear.
lol...Dont think about what??? I've got a big one but I'll take ur tummy anyday...
sexy voice...Infact that will be my next post...an experience I am yet to recover from....
Some small guys are dynamite oh...sis better believe it...he is compensated elsewhere...
I am black and I have a small booty. Big guys big sturves......hahhaha so not true.
Radio presenters always dissapoint me when I finally see them.
Hmm, I've seen both sides of the coin on all the stereotypes.
I've seen a big guy with BIG ASS tin ;-), almost scary!
I've seen African chics with Flat asses, almost concave
I've see really sweet midgets. Some of them are indeed blessed ;-)
I had a guy interview me once, and I couldn't stay focused on technical terminology during the interview, cos I was busy imagining ripping his clothes off. His face and swagger was to die for. Too bad he was my boss :-(
I hate how the world views Africa. It's sometimes the media's fault, but we sometime perpetrate the stereotypes.
that black women are these sexual fiends....I know a few friends of mine who are conservative...
That black men are fiends in the bedroom...oh how this has failed some women out there...
sha someone needs to change this whole in an african village somewhere..as if ku Harare there aren't people to ask?
Guess stereotypes exist because the 'experts' say that is what it is, and no one bothers to investigate for themselves... But then human behavior is so complex, and depends on so many variables that its often easier to just pick up the stereotype and work off it......rather than investigate the claims for themselves..
sexy voice=sexy person....so not true...the small man thing...sometimes its true.
I found out the hard way that big men don’t mean big tings…
Lol
that sexy voice is NOT = SEXY PERSON IS SOOOO TRUE.
Streotypes are stereotypes for that reason...they are not always true.
Hope u've been gud?
stereotypes...hmmph, sometimes i'm guilty cos i see a short guy and i immediately he's suffering from a low self esteem or he's arrogant...it's wrong cos i've been proven wrong so many times
@nefertiti...lol, wait till i tell YOU about that interview! You this naughty girl!
For one, I don’t believe in stereotypes. I believe it is ‘stupid’(sorry to say) to classify people based on one’s perception of an individual or a few individuals that happen to come from that setting. But then it can hardly be helped. I am guilty of this sometimes and tend to accept the general reasoning (makes me stupid as well sometimes, right?). For example, some would tell you that in Nigeria, the Ijebus are stingy people, Calabars or Akwa Iboms like sex a lot and the Fulani man loves his cattle above his wife and stuff . . . stereotypical reasoning that do not necessarily prove to be true in all situations
SHORT PPLE SYNDROME IS REAL MEN! IM YET TO MEET ONE SHORT MAN THT DOESNT HAVE THE SYNDROME....UUUM WAIT I KNOW ONE.
saw ur post ooo...lol
u r memorable too na dnt wori wen I post d complete list of bangin blogs urs will b near d top....
On stereotypes, I hav a sexy voice n I'm cute so i guess i fit innit?
It really irks me how Africa is portrayed by them Westerners..even Kanye West who is of African descent portrayed us that way in his 'Love Lockdown' video..mscheeeeew!
Hmm stereotypes..its been said that quiet people r the most dangerous..im the most quiet person n im as meek as a lamb :)
I so need to watch that movie!... I agree with the radio presenter thing!... Some just don't live up to expectation.
x!
well i have heard "big hands big thing", we all know what people say about blondes. People say calabar girls (a tribe in nigeria) can "do it" in ways that can change a man's life forever (don't quote me o).
I can't wait to watch the movie. See the preview and I love it already.
I have problems with that Kanye West video too. He probably has never even set one toenail in the Motherland in his entire life. I find the ones who perpetuate stereotypes about Africa are usually the ones who have never even visited the place.
I have heard about the Short Man Complex. However, I do know some wonderful men who are short in height and they are not like that at all.
haaa kunyepa! U am gonna have to check that movie out for sure!
Im yet to watch the movie
but I know plenty of stereotypes

I totally agree with the black women with small booty- being one of them. But guess what- there is someone for everyone. lol!
As for short men, i'm anti short guys. my apologies to my short brodas on blogsville, but the ugliest attitdues i've received from men are the short ones. lol! Short-man syndrome indeed.
