Some of your age mates are already having children 10 yrs old. You are here asking a childish question. No, wait till you are 56 before you start to look for her if 36 is late. After all Ned married Regina at 59

Most men in Nigeria are getting married in their late thirties or even forties because of the bad economy,so you are not late.Infact There are many bachelors in their forties these days

I clocked 36 years 2 months ago, I look fit for my age compared to many Nigerians(I realised most Nigerians dont pay attention to their physical fitness).
I have been outside of the country and just got back with the aim of trying to get a wife.
Am I too old to expect to find a decent woman ?
What suggestions do you have with regards to getting a good woman in the shortest possible time ?
Thanks all.
"Young man" , my broda got married at 46 to a less than 30 year old lady. Now they have 3 bouncing boys. Hence my calling you young man. cool

I am actually avoiding the referral option, but how is church a bad place to get a wife, I understand there are pretenders even in church sha ?
By the way, I am not exposing my abroad status grin grin grin I am just laying low like a regular guy.
Ofcourse you are just a regular guy, staying abroad does not make one royalty.
Referral is the best option for a short period of time and for a guy who is based in " the abroad"

Referral, church, village. Basically you can meet a kind hearted wife anywhere.

Going to church to look for wife is a bad idea where everyone is faking their reality just to look good . The chance of getting a better wife in church is 1/100.

Thanks all.

My advice:
1. Look beyond physical attractiveness (modest beauty should be enough) when choosing a life partner. Beauty can be deceitful and vain, it covers a lot of character flaws.
2. Do not look for love (most women know how to pretend they love you, when you are giving them what they want), instead, look for good virtues (genuine and not pretence), you can learn to love anyone if you put your mind to it.
3. Look out for mental, spiritual and financial self-sufficiency, in your partner, so that you don't marry a liability.
4. Do not let it be written all over you that you are searching for a life partner, or else you will fall victim of emotional blackmail.
5. No woman is perfect, but as you look out for your desired virtues in your woman, also be aware of the vices she posseses that you can still tolerate. In the future, you will find solace in those good virtues anytime you are confronted with those vices.

May God guide you.

there is something as too old. A 40 plus year old cannot start looking for an early-mid 20s babe to marry unless he has multi millions in the bank and most men don’t have that in their lifetime.. take note that even with the multimillions.. you will be used as a money machine, nothing else. The best time for a man to marry if realistically he knows he can never be super rich is early to mid thirties. That is when he will have the best options, with an average salary.
You watch too much Nollywood movies with this your myopic reasoning. A man can marry anytime he pleases he doesn't have to be a millionaire. If he's okay financially and can take care of her needs. A man at 40 isn't the same as a woman at 40.

You sure say you go Yankee because inserting that in your post wasn’t necessary, or you’re hoping to proof or achieve something on NL smiley with the ploy, besides there are lots of black educated beautiful girls in almost every nation in the world, complete packages, didn’t you pick up one there, at least she’ll be at a certain level if you understand me or you feel intimidated by them?
Coming home just to pick up a timid or so called “homely girl” who will celebrate or adore you may disappoint you the moment she gets exposed (internationally), if you plan to “home-stage” her, definitely one day she will request to visit you abroad, once she arrives na then your eyes go open because she ain’t going back bro, especially if you fell into the hands of Mbaise girls in fact Imo girls.

Most ppl travel overseas every now and then, it shouldn’t be a basis of finding a wife unless you wanna attract the WRONG attention to you.

As for the crux of the matter, I’ll advise you not to marry a stranger and never ever play the yankee card again. I believe you’ve old childhood friends from school, children church, neighbourhood etc. reconnect with some of them, pick the best, they make the best spouse, forget all this social media publicity or search. Peace!

Why are you looking for wife? Is it because others are doing it? The fact you are asking this question here shows you are not yet ready.

Define "decent", if it means a virgin then you are in for a rude shock because girls use alum and other chemicals to return to that state while others under medical procedure.

How do you currently build your network? I got back in 2014 and IT WAS HARD! I mean, I didn't know my way around, my family wasn't here either. My colleagues were mostly Returnees like me and expats.
