cheesy Hypergamy is not a sin na. It's just what it is.
Anyway, your explanations help( only a little tongue). I'm still a fan.



cheesy
Reminds me what a fellow student told me years back in law school

Marriage is an elevation in status. If she had one shoe before the marriage she expected to have ten after. smiley

Hypergamy is not a sin at all but it has to be your thing. I just found other qualities more important. When I met my ex he was still struggling, and he was in now way my social level. But I knew he had potential to make it in life and he was smart.

OT but my ideal man is God fearing, intelligent, does not talk much, jet black, down to eart and modest dressing.

mere assumption. No population census is 100% accurate esp in africa were figures are manipulated to meet selfish interests. Have you ever wondered if moslems and some african traditional men marry many wives why do we still have many women still single in this country? Even the bible stated it that the time will come when 10 women will run to a man and beg him to marry them just for them to answer his name. And that time is now. So deceive not yourself, population of women is far greater than that of men.

Truth is, while you are right about the bible verse " a time when 10 women will run to a man and beg him to marry them ", it doesn't necessarily mean that the female population exceeds the male, it might just mean that women would get more desperate at a particular point in time. Assume a classroom scenario of 30 people, 15 ladies and 15 guys, are you saying if there's one fresh guy, there's no possibility that the 15 girls will trip for him. I i feel (though i could be wrong) that the verse means ladies would be more desperate. Not because of a decline in male population but because, 1) their criteria (wealthy, handsome. ..) for choosing a guy will limit the number of guys available. 2) demand for the available ladies would reduce as guys probably have other things on their mind.

Disrespectful to my ex husband. - Possibly but I ended up in an abusive marriage. Perhaps if I had joined her in prayer I might have been spared that.

As regards my friend she wanted to marry a white man, a doctor , young and handsome and someone that would take her away from the life in Northern Nigeria because she felt she could not live there freely as a woman.

That was her definition of a good man. That was what she wanted and that way what God gave her. They were so much in love.
Everyone has their own definition of a good husband. I personally could never marry a white man.

I learnt my lesson though.
Put everything in God`s hand.


Prayer is important but at the same time prayer is not magic when choosing a partner. Your own criteria for dating are what will determine the type of partner you date. Say, for example, someone who enjoys the club life and partying, wanting to settle down with a strict SU who spends all day in church- their union will be very difficult because they have different lifestyles.

Your comment was disrespectful to your current husband as well, because it sounds like you still don't consider yourself as having a good man yet.

Its actually very common with women to constantly be comparing their husbands/boyfriends with others, imo, that's not a good attitude because we also don't like when/if men do the same.



Its good to appreciate whatever/whoever God has placed in one's life regardless, there's a reason.

Sounds like there were many white, young and handsome doctors headed for America that she could choose from?

why do they cry when proposed?

Best guess it's gotta be some sorta Overloaded Brain-Freeze Morphius (Matrix) Moment grin!

y'know the type you get when your PC suddenly brings up the BlueScreen? Moments like that call for serious RAM upgrades undecided, shey? because, the thing pass me o; i say i wan marry you, you begin cry. For what na?!

Yet, its a beautiful moment all the same, big ups to all tha ladies, may ur own day come speedily if u crave such.

@Okotv & CareFree
Dunt worry abt the Guy/Chick population discrepancy, the gay guys go soon even out the number nicely; by the time they're done wiv their butt-crunching runz; there should be excess chicks left for "the rest of us" guys to "gallantly rescue wink grin" for the next few generations.

And we go com push for legislation against Cross-carpeting...U choose ur orientation-side and stay there (no PDP/APC-type decamping). Once you've made your choice, we tag you and nano-chip shocked your privates cool! Only chicks will be allowed to go "Bi" by such laws grin, hehehehehe!!!.

You know what this is going in an unnecessary direction.
You take it or leave it . I am not here to justify myself. Your interpretation is way off .
Have a nice day and forgive me if I don`t bother explaining any longer. If you don`t understand what I wrote then came back maybe in a year or two and you might understand it.

... and if you are deliberately trying to needle me, take a deep breath because you have to drive real deep tongue

Ladies been deceiving us men since the days of Adam

But why wont they start crying when they know the guy is taking all their wahala away. Marriage is not for a man, marriage is for women only. A man doesn't stand to gain anything from getting married. You lose your freedom, she'll nag you to hell, she will lose her pristine beauty, you spend your entire life working to make her happy-and you stand to gain nothing....You can always get sex, child(ren) or even love without getting married. Guys, dont get married

Read this book: The Manipulated Man by Esther Vilar.
u are to stupid for words she lost. Her beauty cus of u cooks for u cleans ur home ttakes care of ur family u still womanise she bears it. Well i dont blame u its all does cheap girls dat gives wat belongs to d masters to dogs. Giving watt is meant for marriage to u people for free dats y dey will remain single

well, its too bad you feel that way, my main point is simply this: If Michelle Obama had decided to marry a doctor, most likely Barack would not have become President of the United States.

When someone asks you to walk life's journey with him, especially if you have already thought about doing that for a while, it's gotta be emotionally for you. However, girls don't always cry, some display other emotions. Like sadness, anger, disappointment etc. Trust me.


When the dude asked my bestie, she first froze then started laughing hysterically grin I was the one that bursted into tears on her behalf. Of course, they are very happily happily very very married now cheesy Thank God!

But the real. Emotional moment will be on my wedding day. And I will be like wow! It's real..! Am indeed getting married. Wow. It's unbelievable cheesy

Re: Why Do Ladies Cry When Their Man Propose To Them? by Ganjababe: 11:18am On Dec 15, 2016
Permit me to call myself a local person. I still don't get the idea of proposals in this our African setting. Some ladies would have done everything required of a wife and still act surprised when a guy flashes the ring (was she expecting him to dump her?)
As for me, knew I was marrying Bae as at our 2nd meeting and there and then we discussed about getting married in a defined time frame. That was it. We are happily married now with our bundle of joy (Glory be to God)
Back to the matter, good luck to all ladies praying to get that proposal. Guess it is safe to say "whatever rocks your boat"

My dear it's a long emotional story
Because of my looks,most men prefer to date or have flings.
Someone like me, if were a loose lady, I would have change profession to aristos And make so much money
But because am born to follow a responsible legal career and dating different guys at a time is not my stuff. I find it repulsive. If not? Money I would have made on aristos, would have built me a mansion. But that's not my line.. No matter how society tries to. Box me into it. It's simply not in me.
Guys woo left, right and center to gain my attention, some even go as far to present me with a ring but it's all a game to them 2 have fun, nothing real there. And make me loosen up and date any of them. Then later the one with the engagement ring will either say he's travelling abroad or his family said this and family said that. sad
They later come up with all sort of excuses after wasting either one year's or 2years of my life. In a fake relationship.

That's why if u give me engagement ring as my BF, I will smile and say OK let's give him a benefit of doubt. But it won't make me cry. I will be happy , hug him and say yes.

It got to a stage, I was like maybe men are meant to worship my beauty and it's not in my destiny to marry. Cause of many toasters.
And am not ready to be a baby mama. angry
Yeah such thoughts crossed my mind so Many times. I wont lie.
At times I will ask my self is my beauty a curse? Cause it's has not given me what I want yet.
Girls who need this beauty for olosho don't have it.. Me wey ,I just want to live a simple life ,focus on my work and raise a good family God now give me this type of beauty that makes men pursue me for the wrong reasons sad

So, until I see myself taking marital vows In front of a priest or judge. Then I will know, OK am really destined for. Marriage.

I see, I can relate to your story. I also personally have different preference when it comes to dating, fling or serious relationship. They aren't the same.

I usually see ladies who have a lot of toasters becuz of their looks and they become really proud. In my mind, i'm quite sure they don't know the diff btw guys wanting a fling and dating that leads to marriage. So when a decent looking guy comes around, their Bar is already raised so high that they just ignore him.

One thing i would tell you is you often find yourself around the wrong people, Who are the type of Guys wooing you? Are they godly people?

Who are your friends also, are they good friends? Becuz i often experience my female friends linking me up with other females to date. Then imagine if my female friends are crazy, obviously they will link me up to date their other crazy friend.

How do u portray yourself also? becuz if you like to club & have fun, you will attract guys who like such too.

Lastly, stop worrying yourself. At the right time, It will happen.

Have stopped worrying myself, I take everyday as it comes. Have stopped having expectations .. Just live life and plan ahead financially. And you are right about dating the wrong guys. I really dated the wrong guys, there was no doubt it.
And funny I dont club, I don't party. If u mistakenly see me in a party just know that the celebrant is more or else like family and I can't escape it. I just have to be there. smiley
Anyways it's life and whichever it comes.. I wont be deceived anymore .
And I will keep on Bn a happy person. smiley

I had a friend who once said i can never cry, but the day the surprise happened. She cried like a baby , i still watch the 15 minutes video evertime i need a dood laugh.
But here ate few Reasons why ladies cry.
1. Some do it cos everyone does it tongue
2. For some it just happen cos u weren't expecting it, finally marrying the love of your life
3. Some fake it to make the man head swell thinking she loves him
4. Some cry because they pity the guy , saying OMG I cry for you , you just made the greatest mistake of your life , you really wanna marry me ??
5. For some its tears of joy after all the whole boys that has broken your heart. This one finally proposes
6. Some also cry when you buy them expensive rings , she will be like this fool wasted 400k to buy me a ring I don't even have 100k in my account cry
7. Some think crying makes you romantic
8. Some ars just too emotional for that package.
9. Some just cry before u change your mind and say its a joke
