I have a friend looking for a baby mama - cute guy, good job, well settled and not interested in marriage.
You won't be a wife, you won't bear his name, just birthing the kid(s) will do and of course placing you on an upkeep with joint custody. You interested?

We need more girls like you honestly. cheesy

This is an insult on her "person".

The whole marriage system is actually for men.


While we agree that men gain more from marriage we can as well agree that women need marriage more than men need marriage.

That was a proposition, not an insult in any way, shape, or form...and honestly, for someone who seems to have no desire for marriage, I think Christmas just came early.

Not an insult at all considering her views.

So you want your own sister, with a salary of 90k to marry a poor man?

Why will a poor man even consider getting married, if not for the entitlement mentality of Nigerian men. You want a wife who will cater for your needs and bear your children, you want a family where you will be the 'head', you want to be considered successful by joining your peers to start a family . . . And yet you don't have the financial resources REQUIRED to support the family. Does that even make any sense to you?

I absolutely love the comment about entitlement mentality. A man feels he's entitled to a wife. A woman feels she's entitled to children even though neither of them has the financial capacity and voila! Another poor family unit is born into the economy! Then real and imagined enemies get the blame for their struggles whereas simple arithmetic would have shown the way.

It is because ladies have misplaced their priorities in a marriage.

Keep lying to yourself.
What exactly do women gain?
Men gain a wife that bears children that carry his family name.
In misogynistic societies like Nigeria he has basically gotten himself a slave that must submit and obey him. His word is law whether wife likes it or not.
He can cheat and marriage continues.
All he needs to do is go to work and come back, and provide any little he can, society expects women to also provide and do 80% of all that holds a marriage.
Do you know how many women gave up their dreams to get married and bear kids because society expects them to be married at a certain age?

Stop making silly comments because you want me to prolong your thread with replies.

Hmmm In as much as you are right, I think that was then, the time of our fore fathers and grand fathers. Things have really changed a lot now

Wrong! Most women remain in miserable marriages not because of any spectacular gain other than being addressed as a Mrs. They know how unkind the society is to single mothers and divorcess that they'd rather stay back and face the abuse than the stigma. Men are expected to make money before marriage, that's all. No one mounts pressure on him to act in certain ways to please his wife.

Hmmm and what If he doesn't make that damn money, You know this kind of situation Is hell on earth. Besides, Is the money even easy to make? Many men have ended up been killed or In prisons or between life and death all In the bid of wanting to Impress the society and their Women...
