You shouldn't say the same for men dearie.

It is just a man's world.

That's why a man at 50 years can marry a lady of 25 years, money or no money.

You just can't really say so for a woman.

Well, women at that age also get married to younger men as well.

And there are also women still looking hot @ that same age with men all around them but they don't seem interested.

MRBrownJ:


i disagree with you on the issue that love is hard to find as i believe it is VERY easy to find love, so long as you are an open minded, social, friendly, outgoing, down to earth person without an unrealistic view of what/how love should be. you meet someone with some of the qualities that you desire/require and if you guys are compatible and spend enough quality time together, love would naturally flow.

Do you easily fall in love?

where was the survey carried out? cause i dont think i was counted.

Kachisbarbie:
Nairaland guys (being a minute representation of Nigerian men) are confused.

When a young lady says she wants to get married, they would ask what she has achieved and give that speech on how she shouldn't rush to be Mrs.

Now, ladies have decided to pursue their goals to a significant degree and they still tag her old cargo.

For every single lady out there, there is a single guy that hasn't done the needed.

kachi just tell them the truth instead of giving this ladies false hope. just tell them to be responsible and the right man will locate them.

my brothers and sisters is it compulsary you marry.

And if it is. Why do women have to wait still they become successful in their career,when at the end of the day they will still have to surrender their success to a man.

If the rate is so alarming as the op says, it goes to show that:
1. There are a lot of irresponsible men out there.
2. The economy is so bad that even the responsiblle men cannot afford getting married or having a family.
3. Divorce rate keeps getting higher each day.
4. Some Single ladies have decided within themselves to become baby mamas/ single parent(biological /adopted).
Any other factor contributing to the topic of this thread is insignifant compared to what I have listed above. Why? Let's use Nairaland as a case study. Among the people who raise this kind of thread, most are males. Again, why is that? Because most males are beginning to realise that to most females, marriage in africa especially is a complete joke. If an average woman cannot get a child or financial comfort from a man, then why would they want to be with such a person?. It is therefore my conclusion that most males are afraid of what will become of the institution called marriage in the next 2 or 3 decades and that's why they keep bringing up shiity threads like this.

Teenage boys and lack of respect for their mothers

Do you easily fall in love?

if i am single, hell yeah!

poster just created a thread like this without interviewing me. na wa o

The number is not really alarming, the only thing is that women are now marrying in their 30s and no more in their 20s...

aflyingbird:
if the stories up there are true , it's those women's fault dat they're single , they're letting their parents control their lives .

Gbam. You are 100percent right.

luxanne:


Well, women at that age also get married to younger men as well.

And there are also women still looking hot @ that same age with men all around them but they don't seem interested.

My dear, let's not colour our opinions and make it look like facts.

Generally speaking, men do not flock around ladies who are above 50 years for marriage. The few who do, do so for economic gain.

Take a poll of 10 men. Ask them how many would love to marry a 50 year old hot lady when there are countless number of young 25 - 30 years old ladies.

They are all looking for already made men......shior!

Blame the parents...blame church...

MRBrownJ:


if i am single, hell yeah!

Then we are very different bro.

GodMode:


Stop the excuses..

For whom?

Also true.

edwife:


I think they rely on their parents because they still live in their houses.How many 25-28 years old have a stable job and pay rent in Nigeria?

It is also not just Nigerians,many African countries have this culture including some Asian countries.

Well you're right. That is why economics today play a role in marriage eligibility especially for men.

coogar:


is sambarry not your babe?



how many 21, 25 & 30 years of age women still depend on their parents to buy sanitary pads for them? leave age out of it when it comes to naija folks, abeg. they are all babies even at 30.

You can imagine threads on NL asking if an 'unmarried woman should live alone' and Nigerians championing that she must live in her parents house until marriage. God help those who take advice from narrow minded illiterates.
