A few days ago while skimming through sha’s post, I noticed that, in her own inimitable way, she was on a warpath against those women who plaster pictures of themselves with some new bloke they just met, all over Face Book. The post struck a resonance with some thoughts which had been embroiled in my mind since I had a conversation a few weeks ago with someone quite close to me.
The gist of his idea is that nowadays, as soon as they meet a man, some women go quite primeval by cocking up a leg and ‘pissing’ all over him in order to scent-mark him. I mulled over the concept and on reading sha’s post, wondered if pasting a new flame’s pictures on face book, especially when not reciprocated, can be regarded as scent-marking. I also don’t believe I would like to be scent-marked, under any circumstances.
Do women really scent-mark men? In romantic life, I can imagine that they could, same as men may scent-mark women, but at play? And at work?
What purpose would scent-marking serve when the next woman can just walk over, cock up her legs too (I really like that picture) and pass urine over the active mark, thereby masking the existing odour with her much stronger and more recent one?
On a parallel vein, I would like to share some marriage anecdotes that were sent to me a while ago…
* So many options: Poison, sleeping pills, hanging, jumping from a building, lying on train tracks, but we chose Marriage, slow and sure!
* A man who surrenders when he's wrong, is Honest. A man who surrenders when not Sure, is Wise. A man who surrenders even if he's Right, is a Husband.
* Men want 3 qualities in wives: Economist in kitchen, artist in home & devil in bed. But they get artist in kitchen, devil in home & economist in Bed.

geeeeeez!! I am 1ssssssst!!!!!
yipppppeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oya lemme go read
Lmao!!! @ what men eventually get.......heheheheeheee
meanwhile, pls it took me a while to comprehend this ur twisted post jor.....
wait! does that mean I've been scent marked? *thinking about the random pics of me on facebook*
we are in the internet age jare, facebook is the new way forward. I guess in a way its scent-maring, cos a lot of pple would then comment on the pics- awww, you guys look cute together...
that kinda thing.
as per the marriage thing? no comment!
Oya send me your pictures time to scentmark you everywhere and anywhere, starting with blogville...:D
Lmao@economist in bed...and marriage being slow and sure, its not THAT bad jare!
yay!!!..you updated!!...funny...the whole scent-marking...i too don't want to be scent-marked so i won't scent mark...
...as for marriage...lol...slow and sure...hehe...economist in bed huh...it could be worse right?...
...where have you been?...hope you are well...
Lolll...the element described here of women "scent-marking" the men they come across reminds me of a lioness marking her territory around a lion (or any other passionate animal of course)...lol
Oh well...if that's what u guys think of us women...na u sabi o. But maybe it's true sef, I dunno...
I loved this: * A man who surrenders when he's wrong, is Honest. A man who surrenders when not Sure, is Wise. A man who surrenders even if he's Right, is a Husband.* This is actually true...a husband surrenders for the just cause of not losing his woman (in the kitchen, at home, or in bed)...he better...(lol).
* inde - sorry, i will try a more straight-forward post in the future. lol. thank you for taking the time to read this one anyway
* bumight - you are probably scent-marked. i should have added in the post that some people will not mind
* 'sewa - my pictures pere? i was preparing to take my physical self to you
this your 'everywhere and anywhere' sounds scary. will i be able to come up for air?
* g-nigeriana - dont know if anything can be worse than the slow and sure death..
thank you. na work wan' kill me. i should be hanging around soon
* jaycee - lioness is a very good analogy. my cynical side just thought up black widow spider
uh, i read somewhere that commenting first and twice on the blog of the opposite sex is considered uh, blogscent marking...are you trying to scent mark me?...shei i don day i don't like that thing...
...entao, foi o emprego que queria te matar?...que pena...e tem pessoas que so querem um emprego-eu!!...
i cannot imagine 'scent marking' a man...
my only strategy is to fuck his mind senseless so that no one else would want such a blubbering idiot (at least that's the plan...lol)
dying at desy's comment...omiGod!!!...dead...
omo, women indicating that their "feminine wiles" are in full functioning order will never die. Facebook adds to that.
Pray tell, what do we get from the man in the kitchen, bed and home?
ehn?
scent marking - yes, we do.
Does it work? that is another question. (lol, I am sure that statement irritates you as well).
marriage anecdotes: no comment.
jintaaaaa,
scent-marking? lolll never thought of that idea but i think we do it in a subtle way.
"So many options: Poison, sleeping pills, hanging, jumping from a building, lying on train tracks, but we chose Marriage, slow and sure!".....hey where did you get that.lolllllll death is inevitable you know and somin must kill person!lollll
how you dey
First of Jinta...You heard about a car? Pray tell...whisper in my ear how you heard and what you heard...:-)
Marking territory is an animal thing. And we must not forget that human beings are animals - just more evolved than the rest - although with the way some people act, i wonder about the highly evolved thing.
Its not my style but i have seen it done and i understand why women would want to stake their claim. Its fuelled by a sense of insecurity i think especially if said dude is not acknowledging her or whatever they are quickly...
Now your marriage tips...the last tip...the economist in bed bit...LOL....
sorri i had to do this twice dude,
scent marking a man is not a very nice idea esp. when its very obvious, there are substle ways of going about this tho, no that it offers any kind of guarantee sha...
hello dude
so jinta it's time i asked u who this ur stalker is..??
Yes, u know wat I am talking abt...heheheheee...**wink wink**
Women scent-mark.
It's meant to ward off others sniffing around the object desired or owned. It can be subtle or come across as heavy.
Jinta asked, 'what purpose can it serve when someone else can come over and place a stronger scent on?' The overlaying scent has to be stronger, the newer 'pissing party' more vicious (translates into more attractive, wealthier, more intelligent, more humorous, more free-spirited, whatever your preference is).
Take for example one person fancies you, Jinta, amidst your female blog visitors (not a crime in itself) and wishes to warn others off- she might hint closeness that might not exist. It's subtle, it's scent marking and because all women are 'witches', they recognize the 'mark', the interest. Some don't care, however, and brush the marker aside.
Sometimes, the marker even does it subconsciously (I lie. They all know what they're doing)
There are some visitors here that one wouldn't mind laying a scent on jinta. One or two though, you should scrub off with an iron-bristled brush and izal. And then stand guard with a Tazer.
LMAOOOO @ scent marking... i guess d world is coming to an end.. hehehe
Indecent one.. stop BLOG-SCENT marking ma boo.. LMAOOO
lmaoooo...i like d last of the three marriage jokes hahahahahaha...well, i take dis as a lesson not to get excited wen i met nice guys in future..although my way of "scent-marking"(is dat wat u called it jinta) isnt putting pictures all over faceboo(lol)..its usually in a naughtier way(lol)...nice post jinta..am off to look for sha's post since u dint put a link for me to find it(lol)
sorry jinta dats facebook not faceboo (lol)
bia this stalker must be stopped by all means!!! wat gives jor??
Sha, I dont know wat u on abt o :D
* g-nigeriana - how right you are that i already had you scent-marked!
Eu fiquei confuso na tradução. Por que você iria querer me matar? E qual é a pena?
* desy - may i please come for your therapy, so i am rid of any scents?
* ms cat - you get from men: culinary perfection in the kitchen (no surprise that the world's best chefs are men); the wow factor in bed (sorry, cant speak for everyone); a companion in the home; and that's just for starters
* pammy - i like your straight answers, but you did not say why women scent-mark
* honeywell - it does happen, it would appear
* darkelcee - i think its the masachist in us that pushes some into marriage
i'm fine, thanks. have a lovely weekend
* uzo - i've done the whispering. did you get the car or did the length of my tongue block your ear drums? lol
* ms emmo - how have you been?
please share these subtle ways a woman can scent-mark. Are you saying you will not scent-mark me? i'm broken-hearted
* inde - stalker ke? wish i had one, but i have not arrived o. like the stars, they don't know they've arrived until the paparazzi start on them
* laspapi - 'papi's on fire!
yes, there're 2 or 3 women on blogville i'd like to envelope with my scent (if anyone asks who, i'll go get my big gun and start shooting indiscriminately), but conversely, i would not like to be marked
in bath now, using a metal-bristled brush to wash off scents (in case there are any), antiseptic as well, however, i will not take your suggestion on the tazer, i'm going to get my big gun
* sha - the world must be coming to an end, indeed. email sent
* onome - if you're naughty, please, please, come scent-mark me.
WOOORDDDDD????????!!!!!!
WOWZERZZZ!!! I'm like blown at the way you put this...
"Scent-Marking" ... smn made me feel like I had scent-marked them lately... he actually told me to take the picture off.. and his face didn't even show.. it was his hand.. and i didn't even just meet him...
(in my mind i was thinking, "oloshi, u don't know how many men want 2 be my profile pic.." so i sharply took it down.. blown!)
It was really purely innocent!
@ Laspapi (Haba! can't a chick just think a pic is cute / funny and put it up?)
and u said "all women are 'witches'" kai... harsh
In many ways... i don't think it is every time a chick puts a picture of a guy dt she scent-marks him... haba... if it is like that, I am VERY greedy and have scent marked a WHHHOLLLLE lot of guys that i will never date even if they gave me a million gees... I have even scent-marked married men.. lol
I say that with assurance...
Pizz y'all
* 1stpet - the scent-marking you describe runs against the grain of the post, i think. your sharing pics in innocent fun or becos of fondness can in no way be described as scent-marking (although your friend has a right to exercise his prerogative and request his be taken down), it is the deliberate 'pissing' on a man that is being examined.
Jintaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, where have u been. I would have liked to say I missed u o! But I warn myself.
Nice one. scent marking abi? Most women dont care about it, if the guy isn't so secretive and trying to find her away from everyone.
But then, u know us women now, we want the whole world to know we are happy and have found a tresure, and that is how th eguy should see it. it really isn't scent marking. it is saying i appreciate u enough, love u enough, to have the world know that God has blessed me with u. What is wrong with that? nothing. and a guy who gets such attention should be thankful, cos not all women would do that. one who twotimes wouldn't do it.
am i even making sense?
this is what i think sha o, though i would post any pix of me and him anywhere oh. make some strong girl no come theif my man.
anyway, that's me talking.
so if they want to post pix of them and the men, let them. if that is one of the little things that make them happy, so what.
and that stuff men look for in a wife, i reserve my comment before i turn devil for the wrong place.
* uzezi - its ok to say you miss me, i wont consider it scent-marking. lol
i see your point in as much as something is going on between 2 people, but what about when nothing is going on?
for the marriage thing, how abt devil in the kitchen?
Mr. Jinta.. just b/c of ur response.. if i catch u, i shall take several incriminating pictures of us.. and put it alllll over my facebook and blog......
in innocence and fondness!
muhahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahhaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
watch ur back homie!!! hehehehe
Kai, Jinta. Don't talk like dat. Men scent-mark women more. I've had many experiences of that, where by am seen as being unserious cos i protested abt being marked. have i myself marked any man. Sure, but i don't try 2 protect my territory unless a guy has given d dat go-ahead.
But, while it may be funny, i no longer enjoy cynical jokes abt marriage. there r too many emphasis on marriages dat have gone wrong. Yet, i know many couples who r enjoying their union
INFACT! I am going on a scent-marking rampage...
this post + the sugar content in my blood has triggered the "black widow spider" in me!
First stop Laspapi's blog!!!!!
*this is a warning to all.. SUGAR IS BAD!!! for the past week i have consumed enuff chocolate 2 last a month.... i now suffer the consequences... SO DO U ALLL!!!!
(evil laff)
muhahahahhahahhahahahhahahhahahhahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* 1stpet - i actually know someone who told me you're one of the nicest people in blogville, so your threat hasn't worked. (u didn't imagine i'd know anything abt you, did you? hahaha, laughs jinta, pulling faces at you)
* florida - been looking all over for you. the post conceeds that men do it also, however, being a man (last time i checked anyway) who does not do it, i shared my thots
re the marriage jokes - lol at what i imagine to be your sombre, serious face - i've earned the stripes to do that. what fun can we make abt things running smoothly? its only when they go wrong we can laugh abt them
Lovely post lol
arakunrin!
na wah! for that cocking leg and pissing imagery o!
u think marriage is that bad?
how u dey?
* olamild - thank you, hope you enjoyed it
* sherri - some marriages do work, and when they do, they're beautiful, however, ever since i discussed the scent thing, i have not been able to get the 'cocking' image off my mind. lol
i'm ok thanks, do have a lovely one
Lmao, you know how we doooo...Mr and Dr.Barrister.Engineer.Mrs. Peperempe...abi you want title too? Otunba.Chief.Surveyor.Jinta Pemps...lol issues
Still waiting for your pics to scentmark you...dont make me draw a stick figure of you and post it EVERYWHERE:D
Have a lovely weekend...Mwahhhhh, longggg wetttt kissss on your right cheek:D
* 'sewa - on my cheek ke? that is just going to drip off!!
have a great one
We all do it;both sexes are guilty.It's just that women are much more subtle about it,subtle enough that the guy only realises it in retrospect if he does at all.
Lol @marriage jokes.Let me share this one:
Marriage is a great institution;great for women and an institution for men.
NICE ke???
hummm I am ready for you...
**untying my wrapper and preparing to piss** wait oh!, just wait for me!
it is me u r pulling faces at abi? ask about me oh! they will tell u... lol
sugar effects... Have a WUNNERFUL weekend!
I most likely didn't make first on this blog cos my manager had me pulling my hair all week...
Any ways....the post...
I think marking a man has to do with age...early twenties you feel like u have to mark him, by late twenties you realise it doesn't stop jack...so u cease to care about marking territory or trying to prove anything....
* nine - i believe you're right that it happens with both sexes. i feel men are more brazenly territorial, but the subtlety of some women in marking someone who may not 'belong' to them is the issue
* 1stpet - i hope you have a wonderful weekend too
* afro - your new boss deserves a medal as he seems to have managed to surpress your energy, albeit temporarily.
maybe age is not the determinant factor here - could it be experience? i imagine some will still be scent-marking in their 40s. but you're right, it doesn't change a darn thing
hahahaha- sure
i need to be able to determine if it's possible anyway...lol
when do you want to begin sessions?
* desy - now? that wld be a very good time
i just came by to say thnx for stopping by my blog
lol
i kid. i kid
i know thats one of ur 'things'
came here from desy's spot
i read that title and thought this podt was gon be all romantic and shit
then i come to find out it's about women pissing on men
what kinda golden shower shit u got goin on here?lol
no need for scentmarking
waaaaaaaaaat
i just got it like that
nice spot man
*getting prepared*
how would you like it?
*looking up at my comment*
maybe you shouldn't answer that before this gets...ummm....yeah...lol
* dejanae - thanks for stopping by my blog (how I hate that).
I was trampling thru yours earlier this afternoon, hard to believe, i know
i like your 'golden shower shit'. also i'm trying to learn how to be romantic
* desy - i dont know how to do this halfway thing you seem to have perfected, you might just end up having to change your blog title. lol
lol @ laspapi...he makes sense here, he always does whenever we chat and all(am i doing the scent marking right?)..LMAO
i dont scent mark...because my scent is very strong(you know like when you use strong juju and you want out after sucking the person of all his money, the spell is to strong he wouldnt let you go...discalimer:this is from movies and stories, no personal experience)
so untill i'm sure of the person before the wall post of 'hey boo'(even though he hasnt asked me out) and picture pasting spree on facebook commences..lol.
is that a threat or a promise?
eeew! No to scent-marking! if your bobo no know whom he belongs to, tsk tsk for you, and if other women don't know, na them sabi...keep your biz (and the piss) to yourself, i say!
Hilarious as usual!
* fantasy Q - lol at your strong scent and picture pasting spree on facebook
* desy - an assurance...
* doja - good for you
* afrobeat - i 2nd people keeping their piss to themselves
Mwahhhhhhhh, have a nice week!!!
This is not scentmarking, im just in roff with u(at the moment):D
scent mark ke? Abeg take a shower jo. Nothing do you.
hehehe the comments are hilarious. men to scent mark o. but b4 i sound to feminist let me end there.
well im off to scent mark a particular young man on face book. seriously its pointless. if a mans gonna cheat he will cheat.
really, jinta, me think i am devil everywhere sha, unless someone tells me otherwise, which i wont believe.
that my first comment, i meant to say i wouldn't post his and my pix anywhere. nah.
so have u been scent marked?
@ desy, i dig ur comment.
1st Pet- please scent mark me. In your case, I'll carry it like a badge of honour You're a beautiful person.
And like Jinta said, it's not about placing photos of yourself and someone you're fond of, a friend etc in albums...That's been done to me, I've done it myself. Your friend who asked for his hand to be removed was probably in need of a sugar-high.
The 'pissing' thing is more insidious. It's a declaration of intent, sometimes unwelcome. Hints to others who you might find more appealing, to back off.
I watch over jinta o, so if anyone's pissing, they better be the right 'pissers'.
las to the pa to the pi.....worrrup! **wink wink**
Jinta...the new boss has tamed my wings as Fluffy my friend likes to say....I am so fagged out when I get home that the last thing on my mind is blogging!!!
lmao!!!! I loooove to scent mark
MY PROPERTY IS MY PROPERTY!!!!

Take care.
NIGERIAN CURIOSITY

LMAO@ Devil in the home, economist in bed....so true
Why am I ALWAYS late to the party sha? LOL.
Well, I don't to the scent marking thingy in regards to pasting pics on FB. I only display the ones of my boys and myself for fear of looking like a fool if the relationship ever ended. Call me cynical. I hate being made a fool of.
I regards to the marriage posts...that last one was hilarious!
LMAO @ the exchange between you and desy
Take it from me...that Naija accent is a killer man. Having you do ish you normally wouldn't do. LOL. Dang, I'm getting all hot just thinking about it
* g-nigeriana - it does appear i need a better translator as you suggest. will you be mine? (ok, that's a deliberate play on words)
* afro - i think your boss is no longer on top of things, let's see how we can gee him up.

Nah, I don't scent mark. I have this crazy thing.I love to see women go crazy and stare at and admire my man. Makes me want him even more when we get home. SO, no, I don't scent mark. I just make sure to be one of the baddest babes in the place when we go out. LOL. Vain? Yeah, I know. LOL. I don't do all that pasting pics nonsense. Just not my style.

Maybe they're choosing the wrong woman.
Learn all you can about her and learn to read the unspoken signs and don't jump into anything until you are absolutely sure.
rotflmao @ * So many options: Poison, sleeping pills, hanging, jumping from a building, lying on train tracks, but we chose Marriage, slow and sure!
Hmmm...marriage?! No comments.
