seizethaBae: I don't even know where to start or how to explain what my problem is, hopefully i get lucky for the 'problem' to be 'diagnosed'. I'm a 27yrs old lady (27-yr-old lady), finished university very very early and i've been extremely lucky with almost everything in life, but to get a suitor and settle down na palava. Friends/family members keep saying I'm too choosy or not serious.
Honestly, I AM NOT choosy. When the one thing i fast/pray for is for God to link me with the bone of my bone very soon, I even gave up my travelling plans in order to increase my chances of finding a future patner (i know you can meet ur patner anywhere, but na just to shut up people wey don tink say i no dey serious), a close friend even suggested i pend my 'work-from-home business', look for job so i can could be leaving the house, and i got lucky within a month or two of dusting my CV i got a fantastic high paid job with no connection (honestly i've always been so lucky when i ask God for anything but i have no idea why he is delaying this). I just dont know how to explain it, the ones i like[b]d[/b] doesnt didn't like me and the ones i dont didn't have single feelings for will would do anything to wife me. I'm not desperate or something, i just want[b]ed[/b] to reach out if I'm the only one having this problem.
There was even a time i made up my mind to accept an ex proposal even tho i have had no single feeling for him, i kept hoping/fasting/praying for a miracle to happen so i can could at least like him (even if its 20%) bcus hes was just too PERFECT, but it didn't just happen. My type of man doesnt need to be extremely rich, tall, handsome like most ladies dream man. He should just be neat, God fearing and have something upstairs biko (i love intelligent guys). Back to the main reason why i created this post; Married women/mature lady out there, has this ever happen to you? I really envy people that love their partners and they are loved back equally. Married women, please, I'm waiting to hear from you.
And for most people that will think I'm looking for a rich guy, believe me i once met a guy that was willing to sponsor my M.Sc in UK if i can be his Mrs, but i will never engage in anything that will bring curse on my head. So my problem is not even money. I'm so sick and tired Dear, I could have suggested hooking you up with some of my friends but your written English needs adjustment. First try working on that since you also want intelligent guys! 9 Likes 2 Shares |

I love your comment missjo:
You have an ex who you say is PERFECT,still you could not love him.
My diagnosis is that you operate on a peculiar wavelength that isn't common, trust me I know what I'm saying. Every human has a wavelength they operate on. If you were to put on an eye apparatus that is capable of detecting frequencies and sending the visual to your eye,you will understand what I'm saying.
A lot of people operate on similar wavelengths that may have different frequencies,but the catch is that these frequencies can superimpose on each other and blend. Your case is that you have a totally different frequency as well as wavelength from most normal people. Yes you are not normal!
Don't get mad yet,that you're not normal is not bad,it just means you're part of the less than 5% of people in the entire planet who fall under this category. I've met one other guy like that on this forum,cant mention his moniker so he doesn't bite my head off but I follow him. These group of people actually find it hard picking someone to get married to because there is always a fault to be noticed no matter how PERFECT the person is.
I'm going to guess that you're an ambivert,i.e a combination of introvert and extrovert. Another guess is that u like to read anything and everything, and you find that most people do not really understand you even part of your own family. Another guess is that your close friends are very few,as in VERY few and you haven't made new friends in a while. Most of your friends are old friends. I also guess that you're someone who can have sex with someone and not add emotions to it,i mean just for the fun of it.
All guesses sha,so correct me on the wrong ones.
The solution is this,you should understand that for people like you, love is not what you need to marry. You only need to marry someone whom you would like enough not to see their faults or someone who is on the exact same frequency and wavelength as you,the latter is harder.
Are you into the science field,or do you just see yourself liking anything that has to do with figuring out how things work? |

Chubhie: You place premium on intelligence.Has it occurred to you that your ideal husband could be too busy locked away with passion in putting his intelligence to work?
Paths MUST be crossed either through angelic orchestration or self-help.
Dont appear desperate cos an intelligent dude can spot such from one mile radius.
Look for locations or places you feel your ideal intelligent dudes congregate and adapt to such environments.
Iron sharpens iron.you MUST first become that which you desperately seek.
It must be a give and take situation with that which you seek or you end up bored and miserable with them.
Can you be comfortable with a Seun sitting in front of his computer all day and coding in alien languages without having his bath?
You talk of an ex being all perfect yet you can't love him? You must understand that love is a fleeting sensation and barely enough to see you through marriage.
If that your ex ticks all the other boxes why not work on yourself and reconsider him?
You can not have everything on a plater of gold else that's rigging from your maker.
Perhaps,your maker is looking up to you to make this one decision.Such a wise God! Who is this craftsman? I believe your ilk come out of their shells once in a lifetime. To seizethaBae, to meet your man, you must device unconventional means that can lead you to his hood, because there will always be a path which the sparrows' eyes have not seen. Intelligent and cultured men are rare to come by. And when you see one, he is either married or unavailable. This is because their women have played one role or the other in the men's growth over time. I'm not saying you must be a part of grooming your man, but this is a factor that tends to lower the number of eyes from that breed of humans that ogle hungrily when gems like your self strut through the streets. In my case, I have fallen in love with at least 3 girls in the past who could not write correct sentences. The feelings were genuine, but at a time, when I read a comment from one intelligent damsel, I said "To hell with the misplaced feelings". I used tactics to unravel the woman in that faceless forum. We started exchanging correspondences, and she became elated about my being. We were so busy at work that we could not meet until after about two months. When we finally met, and she assessed me, only our difference in a certain ideology turned her off completely. While she focussed on ideology, I focused on her physique -- her body build is a big NO for me. I returned home and proclaimed that I'm not destined to marry an intelligent woman. I quickly worked toward reconciliation with my estranged girl. It's not the best of a relationship, but I'm happy. Progress stems from the clashing merger of antagonistic extremes, and also from a union of pinnacle freaks... 4 Likes |

missjo:
It isn't just one source,i mean reading about it. I actually typed that out from a combined residual memory involving many different books I have read over the years and scholarly write-ups I have come across randomly on the internet.
But I'd love to share with you some books that talk on the subject in parts: Amazing laws of cosmic mind power Psychic perception - the magic of extrasensory power The cosmic power within you Secrets of the I Ching
All of those are authored by Joseph Murphy.
Robert Greene also gives a little insight on human interactions in: The 48 Laws of Power The Art of Seduction
The Art of War by Sun Tzu may have added to my memory too I guess,lol. Though it is purely a political book, it sublimely articulates human interactions. Same with the works of Niccolo Machiavelli.
For specific books on understanding humans based on the frequency they emit and wavelengths, I can't name specific books off the top of my head. I came across the topic by chance on scholarly articles by biological scientists mostly on the internet and on very educative programs on TV. But reading a combination of those books up there and many more all point to the same fact.
Lahaye's books on temperaments also might be enlightening. I have known about the frequency/wavelength stuff since I was about 8 and have always referred to it has part of the personalty vibrations or the persons air. I have always enjoy studying peoples air and have found must to be simply put annoying or irritating. Though there is a recent cause that has been bordering me since 2 days ago. There's this lady in my area that I just couldn't place her vibrations so have hardly have a conversation with her, don't even greet her. 2 days ago I saw someone walking towards me and the person was BLANK. No vibrations, no personalty, no air, nothing! She got close and I realised it was this Lady and that was the reason I have not been able to place her frequency. She had zero, sorry but this has been disturbing me and its kinda scary. Have aany Idea what it means. |

seizethaBae: Thanks all for your kind and wise advice.I really appreciate. @Chubhie;God bless you for putting up that piece together,indeed such a wise God we serve. But y wld i pray to God for 3solid years to have feelings for someone,did everytin possible for me not to lose this great guy,I TRIED I REALLY TRIED,yet nothing happen?. I really cant go deep discussing that relationship bcus he is a nairalander(he might put one or two tins togeda and figure out its me),but just picture NO SINGLE FEELINGS AT ALL,NONE THAT CAN EVEN MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK FOR 24HRS hence i treat him as i want,even tho im not a bad person dat treat people anyhow. My 2 cents. You get married when you want to get married. Until you stop seeing men and relationship as a balance book this topic will continue to grow. Love is an abstract. Start looking more at the positive activities of your relationship and you will see love driving in full force that you wouldn't have space for it again. You choose to love and not to love. I see some factors that are holding you back. 1. You are judging and comparing your men too much you overlook their best qualities. 2. You have fear factor. This came from your reaponse on WHAT IF. 3. You are putting premium on academic intelligence. Not bad but I have seen people that never went to school but are highly intelligent. I can go on but my advice is stop looking at negativity and focus more on positive and open mind and thank me later. 3 Likes 1 Share |

won't give any one counsel outside Gods will, with the experience I have gathered ,you ladies need straight talk, pretence and garnished advice won't do you all any help, na so e dey take start,...a little stuborness here ,a little ego there, ladies must stop been fake ,learn to always demand the truth from guys always, once a guy knows a lady will always demand for the truth, he will adjust and get more responsible, ladies are the major reasons for this mess in ,most case,you(abike)can't speak for the op,abi na your sister she be?,you sure don't know her ,do you?she is still young and should understand how actions can count in the nearest future,every lady should, Self defense won't help any Lady, no lady should be adviced to hurry in to marriage, that's pretty horrible .I drop my pen over this matter. abike12:
Please watch the counsel you are giving people. A lot of people have rushed into marriage because they don't want to become Aunty and now they are living in bitterness. Marriage can be very sweet, even with its ups and downs. Leave people for their God appointed time. It's not like the OP is picky or proud, is it until she marries a mad man from the street? I don't find that joke funny. Nobody jokes with you men to marry just anybody. |

Nancy2016:
I agree with most of what you said except the part where you say "love is a fleeting sensation". That's not true. True love never dies. Why do you think more and more women are cheating? This is because a lot of them for whatever reasons got married to men they didn't love. Women are emotional beings and are always in search of love. If a woman has no love for her husband she is prone to temptation. A lot of times you hear women cheated with their exes. This is because they still are in love with these men. I will always advise women that if you have no feelings for a man, please do both of you a favour, end the relationship and let that man find his rightful partner. The earlier you come to accept that there is no such thing as true love -- what we like to think is love is actually a game of making concessions -- the better for you my dear. |

Re: Will I Ever Get Married? by Nobody: 10:17pm On Oct 03, 2016 |
1. Many Christian ladies want a man that
“knows where he is going”… but God’s men
usually don’t have a clue: Think about that for a
moment. Think through the Bible…all the great men
that had relationships with God and who he used and
blessed….they usually didn’t have a clue about
where they were going and (here is the even crazier
part) even if they had a clue, their lives for a long
time did not reflect that great place God said he was
taking them. Just think about it. All the way from
Abraham …going to a land he did not know; Joseph
having a dream that people would bow down to him
but became a slave and then a prisoner; David who
was anointed to be King and then lived the next 15
years in the wilderness as a fugitive; Peter the great
fisher of men who was barely able to catch fish.
These men would have had a rough time finding a
wife today. Could you imagine?
Abraham calling sister Sarah aside after church and
saying “Errrmmm Sarah you know I love you right?
Soooo God wants to take us somewhere …but I have
no idea where. Wanna marry me and come?”
David too. “Look baby…I really care about you and
want to spend the rest of my life taking care of you…
In fact, I’ve just been anointed King…buuutttt I’m
kinda living in the bushes right now and on the run
from the King I’m supposed to replace.”
Or Joseph. “Look Jill, God has shown me many
dreams that people will bow down to me and I’ll be a
great leader. But right now I wash dishes in
Potiphar’s house and I’m a slave boy there”
God’s men don’t “always” have a direction or know
the details. So stop looking for men who have it all
figured out!
Here is the solution though…..here is the good news.
Here is what you SHOULD be looking for: Men who
can be LED by God. (Rom 8:14) Don’t look for a man
who already has the best laid plans. Look for one who
knows how to follow directions from the best planner.
The Boaz, David or Joseph kind of man may not know
exactly where he is going but he knows how to follow
God.
2. Many ladies approach relationships from the
perspective of “Low Risk, High Reward”:
Meaning, they want to get the absolute best man
with the least amount of risk. (And I’m not just
talking about finances here)They don’t want to put
themselves out there at all.
They want the man to take ALL the risks…to be
utterly convinced he wants to be with them before
they open up about who they really are. You know
who you are…You act like YOU are the ONLY prize in
the equation. He doesn’t know anything about your
background but you turned into a private
investigator to make sure he is good enough for you.
You are financially irresponsible and an impulsive
spender, you’re spending insane percentages of your
income on your hair, shoes, bags, and your
“package” but you want a man who knows how to
make and keep money. You have not grown your
faith or prayer life to where it needs to be but you
want a demon chasing, tongue speaking, Bible
spitting warrior of a husband…because “he is the
leader of the home”.
You’ve dated a bunch of losers that didn’t work out
but he is no good because he has had several failed
relationships too? You want to see him as he is but
you cover yourself up in perfectly filtered Instagram
pictures, hair extensions, push up bras, makeup and
layers of stuff that make it impossible to see who you
really are. You are lazy with not much follow-through
but you want a man who can stay up all night
working on a project. If he put that spotlight on you,
would YOU make the cut?
In essence, many Christian ladies say they have faith
but they don’t. They say that God is their source but
they are lying. They say that they trust God’s will for
their future but they are lying. They don’t. They put
their trust in a man. What kind of job he has/can get.
How much he is making or can make. They want to
make sure he has the “ability to provide”. They want
him to have his life utterly figured out…
But I have met many great men who haven’t found
the employment they have the potential to get. I
have met many others who were living it up until the
economy crashed. I have met some who had it all
but God insisted they give it up to go and further the
gospel.
If you want a Boaz, David or Joseph, you’re going to
have to be ok not having everything perfectly figured
out
3. Many ladies forget that good Christian men
look for women who share similar non-
romantic, non-spiritual values: Sure he should be
romantic and sure he must share those spiritual
values but eerrmmm ladies…these Christian
brothers are looking for those other character traits
as well that speak to the OPERATION of your possible
lives together. Dependability, thriftiness, work ethic,
time management, hard work, follow-through and so
on.
One of the first things we learn about Ruth for
example, was her work ethic. ( Ruth chapter 2). She
knew how to pull her hair back, forget about her
nails, roll up her sleeves and get on the grind. She
worked really hard and even when she got the
attention of the “well established guy with the
sensitive heart” she didn’t stop working. She took
the break that he offered her and went back to work.
That’s how you earn a man’s respect…when you can
show him that what he HAS does not define who you
are.
Here is the icing on that cake. Just because Ruth
could get down and work, didn’t mean she couldn’t
look pretty and tidy up (Ruth 3:3)
The Boaz, David or Joseph kind of man knows it takes
a lot more than butterflies and date nights to fulfill
God’s mandate for his family.
4. Many ladies pre-qualify their leads: This is
one of the most CRITICAL reasons. In fact, there is a
powerful 2 part series on just that 2 Likes 1 Share |

Hmm This was an interesting read. So many different views and opinions. @Op, since God answers your prayers, don't you think there's a reason for his being silent now? Be very careful and prayerful.
I am someone that prays and God answers but when he becomes silent about any matter, i know it's because he has a reason and when he eventually does, i am always in awe! |

seizethaBae: I don't even know where to start or how to explain what my problem is, hopefully i get lucky for the 'problem' to be 'diagnosed'. I'm a 27yrs old lady, finished university very very early and i've been extremely lucky with almost everything in life, but to get a suitor and settle down na palava. Friends/family members keep saying I'm too choosy or not serious.
Honestly, I AM NOT choosy. When the one thing i fast/pray for is for God to link me with the bone of my bone very soon, I even gave up my travelling plans in order to increase my chances of finding a future patner (i know you can meet ur patner anywhere, but na just to shut up people wey don tink say i no dey serious), a close friend even suggested i pend my 'work-from-home business', look for job so i can be leaving the house, and i got lucky within a month or two of dusting my CV i got a fantastic high paid job with no connection (honestly i've always been so lucky when i ask God for anything but i have no idea why he is delaying this). I just dont know how to explain it, the ones i like doesnt like me and the ones i dont have single feelings for will do anything to wife me. I'm not desperate or something, i just want to reach out if I'm the only one having this problem.
There was even a time i made up my mind to accept an ex proposal even tho i have no single feeling for him, i kept hoping/fasting/praying for a miracle to happen so i can at least like him (even if its 20%) bcus hes just too PERFECT, but it didn't just happen. My type of man doesnt need to be extremely rich, tall, handsome like most ladies dream man. He should just be neat, God fearing and have something upstairs biko (i love intelligent guys). Back to the main reason why i created this post; Married women/mature lady out there, has this ever happen to you? I really envy people that love their partners and they are loved back equally. Married women, please, I'm waiting to hear from you.
And for most people that will think I'm looking for a rich guy, believe me i once met a guy that was willing to sponsor my M.Sc in UK if i can be his Mrs, but i will never engage in anything that will bring curse on my head. So my problem is not even money. I'm so sick and tired If you really need help and you are a sincere person I will ask you 5 questions. If you ar ready for the questions check my profile and call me(pls dnt flash) before 9:45am tomorrow Tuesday morning. Cheers |

Nigayoyo:
Dear, I could have suggested hooking you up with some of my friends[b]coma[/b] but your written English needs adjustment. First[b]coma[/b] try working on that since you also want intelligent guys! Ghen Ghen! What do you know! Don't be sacarstic with her. We know what she meant when she said that she wants intelligient guys. Some guys are just very bad. I am sure she meant 'average guys' I can relate with that. Modified @ OP You sound lilke a perfectionist. YOu want all these, but you gotta be patient with a guy. You sound impatient! Especially, when you are not 'perfect' yourself 1 Like |

gidjah: won't give any one counsel outside Gods will, with the experience I have gathered ,you ladies need straight talk, pretence and garnished advice won't do you all any help, na so e dey take start,...a little stuborness here ,a little ego there, ladies must stop been fake ,learn to always demand the truth from guys always, once a guy knows a lady will always demand for the truth, he will adjust and get more responsible , ladies are the major reasons for this mess in ,most case,you(abike)can't speak for the op,abi na your sister she be?,you sure don't know her ,do you?she is still young and should understand how actions can count in the nearest future,every lady should, Self defense won't help any Lady, no lady should be adviced to hurry in to marriage, that's pretty horrible .I drop my pen over this matter. So it is a woman's job to make a man responsible by demanding for the truth? An adult man cannot have sense without a woman demanding it? I rest my case on your Counselling career. Best of luck. |

So my problem is not even money. I'm so sick and tired THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WELL TOLD REAL LIFE STORY, YOUR STORY. THE THING IS YOU ARE HEADED EXACTLY FOR THAT DESTINATION YOU NOW MORBIDLY DREAD - FORTY AND STILL FLIPPANT! YOU SEE GOD IS NOT WICKED. NATURALLY WHEN A LADY CLOCKS 21 YEARS OF AGE, THE TENDENCY IS FOR HER TO SEEK SOME FORM OF COMPANIONSHIP THAT MEANS YOU HAVE HAD 6 GOOD YEARS TO PICK AND CHOOSE AND YET HERE YOU ARE. MY INFERENCE IS YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO GET MARRIED, YOU DON'T WANT SOMEONE YOU CAN HAVE A BIT OF A STRUGGLE WITH TO BRING ABOUT LASTING ENDURING BOND. YOU WANT THE PERFECT MAN EVEN THOUGH YOU WRITE OTHERWISE! THINK ABOUT THIS, WHAT IF THAT STRUGGLING NOT TOO 'NEAT' FELLOW JUST AROUND IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD IS THE DESIRE OF GOD FOR YOU, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO SETTLE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH THAT CHOICE? STOP LETTING PEOPLE HERE DECEIVE YOU, GOD IS NOT BRINGING ANYMAN FOR YOU DEAR, HE'S PROBABLY BROUGHT HIM AND YOU REJECTED HIM BECAUSE "YOU COULDN'T LOVE HIM". SAD... |
