Apination:
The simple things in life are usually what gives lasting happiness. You are setting the wrong standards for yourself, what if your Mr accomplished becomes the opposite tomorrow, would he automatically become unattractive? Life is not a Zee world telenovela, wake up and face the reality, there are no made men according to anyone's fantasy anywhere undecided


Dem no dey tell blind man say Rai. dey fall. The question she should ask herself is if these men she's talking about would want her.

I am sorry to say, maybe you were once an undercover call girl. You need to realize men do not owe women anything, same way you have your standards!

I think you are just being addressed the way you carry yourself- A call girl.

PS: Any insult therein is non intentional and hope you don’t take offense!
please try and read the entire passage, sir, because it is obvious you didn't. You only picked the part that pricked your conscience and ruminated on that.

after getting married to an ambitious man ,later he will more obsessed about his ambition without giving u love or being there for d kids when u need him ,u will also be d one to open a new account to complain.most guys are poor today because of how the society (Nigeria)is,everyman or guy has an ambition.just hope for a man who will always be dia for u money is not everything true love is.
i don't believe everyman has an ambition. Most guys around, behave in a manner that contradicts this. I grew up under an ambitious father, and yes, there is some truth to what you say. I have made peace with some aspects of that.

Do you think these men that are ambitious won't realize that mistake later. That's why i want to be slightly different, no matter how ambitious one is, you will always need a place to rest, and my plan in marriage is the provide that haven to the best of my ability for him and the family we will build together. If we do not love and respect each other before that bucket list i wrote in my opening post does not count.

Respect and love is what i go for first, character second, then the qualities i have listed third. I just didn't want tonmake the 1st post unnecessarily long

Hi Op! I just think you’ve read n listened a way too much to those relationship talks n all...

Always know dt there’s always a diff btwn theory and reality... ask people who attends motivational speeches (Ts way of the same attributes with relationships and marriage talks) it’s sounds too good but not always real because what works for Mr A may not work for Mr B.

I saw whr you wrote you maybe single @35, adopt n all... well if dts what you wished for yourself, you can have it!

A lot of women will deprive themselves of the joy of marriage bcus of pride, over pompous, ego, and all we do hide under self esteem and respect plus your so called specifications and attributes!

You all forgetting that the country is hard; so if you re lucky to have a silver spoon background why not assist a man you love up instead of giving them names!

My piece: pray n trust God, rebuild your h@ n mind to loving again (delete those blivs and what you read), fall in love, and men 10yrs older won’t make you feel so loved, so you may not really know what’s good for you...

All da best

These are the kind of women am worried about,
Those that think they are perfect.

In other words you will be doing the man a favor by being in his life.
That's a red flag with bright colors.
Wow, sir, i applaud your abilities of selective reading and misinterpreatation.

I try to list a few things in a bid to be humble and you call me proud? Well a man will be blessed to have me because he who has found a wife has found a good thing. I never said i will be blessed to have the kind of man i am looking but, but i consider myself fortunate when i do. There is no arrogance in that statement sir.

What were you expecting me to write, that i can cook and clean, give all the sex styles in kamasutra, be at a man's beck and call and be his to command. I am not trying to satisfy everybody.

But then everyone is entitles to their opinion

i do not want to make that mistake of helping a man grow up, most men that have that kind of assistance from women resent it on a primal level. Men love women to see them as leaders, not in their weak and broken state. It is why their taste will change when they suddenly make it. I don't want to be coddling a man. I have seen the previous generation make that mistake too many times and ended back to square one, once a man throws them out of the house and marries another. Besides, i did that in my former relationship and experienced for myself that it always ends badly for the woman because she will be pained that she invested so much. I am not saying i won't assist. But he has to make it on his own without financial help from a mere lover.

Valid points. But what about the bigger picture and the obvious mistake thats glaring for " us " ( being others ) to see in your assertions Madam?. There's massive flawed logic with your considerations thats blinded to you because of your by-stance approach of handling issues.

Actually, there is a thin line between high self esteem and narcissism. Whilst we think we are the best thing to sliced bread, others may just see us as shíít and avoid us. Learn to be a bit humble, respect all irrespective of whether he is your spec or not.

My elder sister worked in a multinational, was doing good, pretty and all but kept looking for the right man like you. She was very friendly with this semi educated guy who admired her so much. One day he told his cousin about her. He introduced them and he ended up being her dream guy. Even 'fuckboys 'have their purpose.

Do not drop your standards but also realize that sometimes what is good for us is not always what we think is good for us. You are young, don't put pressure on yourself. Just enjoy the company of guys casually. To be honest, I can boldly say you don't understand men yet.

A question to ask is, the people we want, do they want us in return? The best gifts sometimes come in unattractive packages. Stay safe.

Good... but rembr there’re guys who re just setting their plans n ambition; I mean you meeting them when they’re not buoyant yet but setting their lives: seen the movie Acrimony before? Let’s forget his worst side spending the woman money n let’s fig out how he was working so hard on the engineering tns n focused; he was broke, broken n at the same time loved... check out the ending story, the whole faults rest on the woman... he never changed all thru

So I’m saying, you need God, you only need an ambitious, balanced n cool man (you won’t c his interest and ambitions from afar), get to know him, be sure he loves you n you love him too...

Table turns; you don’t know! Guys cruising Benz today may become beggers tomao while the broke n broken today wud be in a G wagon supporting the old rich nigga you all are running after today...

God n wisdom is highly needed in situations like this bcus this is an issue dt can may or destroy life! Pls be wise

you only see one side of the argument. Remember that acrimony was a very controversial movie, and i do not think her character was wrong. What that man did is enough to make any woman run mad. The man was just not loyal,he didn't see her as worth fighting for when he made it and to add salt to injury, he took their dreams and bleeped it with the same woman who he cheated on her with.No matter how focused he is, taraji's main mistake was financially assisting and feeding a full grown man for 20 years. This only accentuates my point

But i will take the rest of your paragraph to heart

he didn't try every humanly possible thing. He only thought she was good enough for him when he was broke and homeless. How.about coming to get her when he made it. Acrimony is the sad ending that wait for any person who plays the role of come up woman.

Guys, stay woke. If the Op comes to the intuit phase knowledge will make itself her guide. For now, I struggle to agree the Op is ready to make adjustments/find out what her problem is. Allow me recommend a professional therapist as someone to speak with ....

The Op has deeper psychological issues bro. Don't bother. Nothing here or counsel from here would easily work. Some problems cuts deep into psychological, spiritual levels, not to forget deep flawed logic that leads people on a self-assuned path of safety till it cost them more than they realize. This isn't someone you can influence easily as they'll see themselves as hardly wrong, and yes not open to make needful corrections to lead a happy life!



Trust me I know this one. This is purely a psychological issues with the possibility of deeper spiritual background issues and then the obvious " habit " issues, habits that has been applied for so long that has formed the basis of how they apply themselves to life, hence they won't see their actions as wrongs cause over time it has evolved into their embelmic-actions
