Not absolutely but her personality is just different from all the descriptions given about early 20's.

my current gf is 21 and am 27. this relationship has had its own ups and down. not been easy at all. at dis age most girls dont see any man as their future husband or life partner. so you really need patience and self control.

Now let's set your priorities straight and that of the lady in question.

The average Nigerian familt wants their daughter to get married after her first degree. The only two exceptions in this case are; The lady gets pregnant and her people are ashamed of her giving birth to the baby in their home or she is from an almost below average home (poor family background) as such they want her to go so that they can feed (minus one mouth) less mouth.

Secondaly most girls in this age bracket are not in anyway desperate to get married. They still see themselves as beauty queens because they sometimes get as much as 5-10 toasters everyday because of their youthful nature. This will make them assume they will remain 'hot cake' for ever and think there will always be that suitor waiting to get married to them whenever they are ready.

Except for few families which still nuture their female children, its almost common for most ladies within that age range to learn basic home chores in their boyfriend's place.

Though not in all cases, but if you are one who cares a lot about financial management and knowledge, most young ladies in that age bracket might not fit in. The want to get the latest phone, gadget, hand bag and fashion accessories to meet up with their peers. If you are not one of those guys that spend frivolously on a lady when it isn't relevant, she might term you stingy as won't consider settling down with you because she rarely knows what is the difference between necessity and wants.

Above all Intelligence, if you are a serous minded and fast thinker, it might be an hill task finding a lady that will match your intelligence. I am not talking of knowing latest music, movie or celebrity gist. I am talking of beneficial reasoning.

If you don't mind the above, then you can stick with them and groom them with patience. Otherwise maybe you should stick with the law of nature that "the older the wine, the better it taste".

2sexy: there is an issue and infact a lot of issues. Most girls within that age are crazy set off species. Infact, OP just go with mind of catching fun and don't attach much importance in your dealings with such girl. Don't even take it as a serious relationship so that when they start their madeness, you won't get burnt.

there are some early twenties dat more cool headed and also kno wat dey want more dan some late twenties......in others words, maturity is not defined by age.

Pacify: If you must date any lady of such age, be prepared for the good and the bad. One of such bad scenarios will be in the issue of respect, cos at dat age, many of these girls run their mouth without much concern about whether you are older or not.

There's absolutely nothing wrong in dating a girl in her early 20s. I got married at 21 and I'm very happy and fullfilled! Age is just a number!
Re: Issues With Dating Ladies In Early Twenties... by ayox2003: 10:43pm On Jul 26, 2012
At that age? Be prepared for the worst! You'd have to put up with unanswered phone calls, unreplied text messages, bad-mouthing and so on. You can smell some of them on NL too.

Only if u're ready to face the worst(patient and cool headed)
or if she's well groomed from home. Else...it would be a monkey-banana situation.

The problem I have with ladies of dat age group is that they tend to fall head over heels in love. They choke u with love especially if ur the one who did the deflowering. Older girls or girls in their 30s r d best. Big ups to the ladies in der 30s. Husband ԃǝ̥̥γ̥ come, get faith.

U've said it all!!! Especially the ''stingy'' & reasoning part. You are earning 250k a month, ur girl no wan kno o, she sha want make u buy am bold 5 by force. She'll refuse to understand that you have to save for your rent/a bigger apartment, save for ur marriage, pay for professional exams, save for the unforseen, save for a car & still spend money to run your home.

Intelligence- you come home from work, you have an issue that came up at work with a co-worker/boss & you want to discuss with sme1, get a 2nd view or possible solution which is a product of detailed analysis, ur gf happens to come around, you start presenting your situation, havnt gotten to half only for her to say something like ''all these your work gist is boring jor. Lets see what's happening on E! & guess what happened on twitter btwn me & my friends, we were gisting about one mumu girl like that............''


That said, there r a indeed a couple of exceptions. I'm nowhere near late 20s, still approaching mid 20s, but there are some girls within my age range i just CANNOT date. I place a high premium on intelligence (note: intelligence not brilliance, even tho many tyms, both go together) & i can't imagine dating someone i can't have a serious insightful intelligent conversation with from time to time. I'm not the king of intelligence, but abeg, if u no fit improve my own, no worsen am with your dullness(in the name of being ''fly'').lol

Ladies btw the ages of 20 to 25 you say. And you have not noticed anything in each relationship with them that u have.

My experience with ladies of that age falls on what most of them THAT I HAVE DATED feel is their priority. Sex crazy life and money.

Of my own exprience 80% of them just need one thing or the other from you. Their idea of relationhip is since u have had sex with em your in a relationship with them.

Although i have date a few good ones of that age. One particular young lady of 21 blew my mind away,not to much body aspect ratio but the girl had a truly sharp mind in discussion,business and any most other aspect even when hanging with my friends,i find my guys nodding to her principles or imput she puts in during a discussion as if she was one of the guys.Lost her at the end thought. She‘s hausa i‘m igbo. Her parents did not approve.

All in all i prefer ladies from 24 upward,some are a bit mature,while others border on pyschotic at times(when will u meet my parents kinda issh).

You slayed it. Some guys also behave childishly to the ladies. That's why they go for older men. Anyways, it all boils down to attitude and value system. If the OP's girl has the right attitude and a value system that is within the OP's frame of reference, then no wahala.

to be on the safe side i prefer from 25 cus i think thats the age they wake up to reality , as for when will you meet my parents kind of girls we are talking of an ideal situation when you the guy is ready financially and want a girl you can date for some time and marry so that kind actually fits in.

lol. Its true. So many guys i too wouldnt date if i were a girl. it really all boils down to the type of girl, the type of guy, what they want from each other, & what they are willing to give in exchange. Some guys want ''babies'' as wives, some girls want ''fathers'' as husbands. Some want fathers/brothers/babies/buddies as husbands, same as applies for guys too. Compatibility is key, no unnecessary manage manage. If you can deal with it, carry on, if you cant, pull out & look for what suits you.

guys pls if your in your late 20 or early 30s do yourself a favour and avoid girls of that age 24 or 23 and below(e chanel/twitter/blackberry/brazillian weave/colour riot/confused/immature/insultive /greedy/kim kardasian/wizkid/iceprince/runs girls/i have the best chairman/meet a guy online and visit him in another strange city/multiple boyfriends kind of girls). its suicide for a guy that wants to settle or still struggling to settle infact they can ruin you because you cant cope emotionally, financially , you might loose your temper and end up killing someone. even me in my mid 20s cant stand them. i think girls start growing brains when they turn 25 or 26 ,there are exceptions but they are difficult to find cus the pressure is too much for them to follow the trend of stupidity .

it cud also be because at that age they are spoilt with choices of guys in different cities plus chairmen , unfortunately by the time they turn 26 all those guys will disappear and thats when their eyes actually open.
