My dear sister, you don't need to regret anything at all from keeping yourself during the time you would have been carelessly pregnant till now that you are still waiting for a guy

You known what, your status and educational status are part of what is scaring some men to come and hook up, but that shouldn't be an issue for real men who appreciates successful women

Who marriage help ?

In as much as you have once slept with a man in your your life, simply get pregnant and have a child of yours before the egg gets finished

Also note that the care and responsibilities of that child is strictly on you

You will be glad if you have a child of your own especially at old age

Lastly, don't live your life on regrets, the past is gone what we are talking about now is the future

Dust them off and move on

Lol, you think it's easy, who will give her that child, ghosts right and fake men.

Shior.

I hate it. I’m 41, never married, no kids.

I’ve been close…twice. But ended both relationships when they were caught cheating.

I’ve dated several men since then, most older than me, and they seemed to be in no hurry to even be in a committed relationship. Which is crazy to me that these men are mid-40s and still trying to hangout with the guys and party. I met a whole guy group of friends in Houston 2 years ago…all single, all 36–45 years old. They were throwing house parties during the quarantine…parties!! ��

When I was in grade school, I was told to get a degree, don’t get pregnant, just enjoy being single, make friends, keep dating, and the right man will find you.

Now that I have two degrees, traveled the world, developed hobbies, and avoided pregnancy…my doctors are telling me to just be a single mom because I’m running out of eggs as I type this message. �

I beat teenage pregnancy to be considering single motherhood at 41. �

Damn you, parents, counselors, pastors, and everyone who gave me that advice. I can’t get that time (or my eggs) back. I hate being single at this age!! ��
can we talk about this privately?

Isn’t that the standard? Blame everyone but yourself?

That is why I will continue to commend Linda Ikeji for having that boy. She did what a right thinking woman should do. Not taking postinor 2 at 38.

If you want a child and you can cater for that child, by all means have that child. Even small girls of 21 are having their babies. Then a grown financially independent woman in her late 30s is somewhere asking “hope you didn’t cum inside”. undecided undecided

People must talk. When they are done talking, they will move on. With time they’ll appreciate the decision you took years ago.



I am 43. Not me.




No need for that. Menopause came early.
Poco, you 43 but look 23 the last time you had your picture up on here.

Good gene I must say or probably good diet.

Have you forgotten that, a woman will and can become pregnant without a man's notice, till the pregnancy gets to 2/3 months before she announce it. Even if the man refuses the pregnancy, she may decide to keep it

I actually discussed this with my folks the other time.

The single lifestyle of our generation affects the female gender more than the male gender.

When you age you will understand that the most important aspect of marriage is actually companionship, sex is while you are younger but as you age.

You need a confidant, a partner no matter how hard it is you need someone.

To our single women out there, please use the opportunity now.

I have met plenty aged single women, i must confess that 85% of them aren't happy with their life.

Singlehood ain't a good thing tbh

You weren’t let lose and free with men just like any woman of your age that’s why you are still single


I have a woman which intend to get married to but each time I invite her to come over despite being close six over 8years she still feels reluctant and doesn’t know what she wants trying to play safe. I have other girls that are Serious and ready to get married which if they have the chance to get invites they will never leave.

Most single women of your age contributed mostly to part of their single hood . Some will never want to struggle with a man when they are supposed and some was never ready to settle and after flashily lifestyle thinking time is on their side until they lose it all.

I pray you get the right one soon

I really feel your pain. You grew up to be a very obedient girl and its good, Just that the right man did not come for you. Hey guess what, it's not too late. I trust your not looking bad and you still have some eggs.
thanks for making a difference with your empathy and positivity. So many mean comments here.

Most nigerians don't know to STFU or avoid a sad situation, if they have no intent to help it.

Hmmmm @duyox2004
You asked a question and answered it yourself.
You are old (though not too old) and you're already feeling like this, so just imagine what you'll be like in 10/20/30 years from now.

Perspectives: some give advice based on evil intent, some based on their personal circumstances, and some will give you advice that thy feel will be the best for you BUT the ultimate decision is ALWAYS yours to make.

Àmọ̀ràn: You can choose to marry before this year runs out because there are men waiting to marry your type - full yankee babe spec with better fonee - and will worship at your nether altar for the rest of their lives BUT are you willing and ready to marry such?

The ball is in someone's court...

I don't doubt what you said about the write up. That's possible. But the storyline itself sounds very much like female in 3rd world country. Americans don't have time for someone giving them advice like this. They waste no time getting pregnant at every opportunity they get.

I'm weak because you sounded like nonAmericans can't comment on American websites.
