Marisa Tomei

The actress told Manhattan Magazine in 2009, “I’m not that big a fan of marriage as an institution, and I don’t know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings.”

Vanessa Paradis

Despite their 15 years together Vanessa and Johnny Depp did not decide to tie the knot. In an interview she said: “We’ve never said we don’t want to get married, but we’re neither opposed to it nor excited about it. You know, we might do it for the kids one day. But we are more than married: we have two children. It’s not like we need to.”

Mindy Kaling

Mindy Kaling is a perfectionist when it comes to making fun of relationships and dating. She’s a self-professed, former wannabe-bride but her tune has changed since she matured.

Kaling says, “In my 20s, I was not only boy crazy, but marriage and relationship crazy. Now it’s almost the opposite. My work is so rewarding and I’m so self-centered about it that I’m kind of excited about not having to go home and ask someone about their day.” Mindy did have a daughter in 2017, but never revealed the identity of the father and she wasn’t romantically linked with anyone at the time.

Until you see some colors together, you really can never visualize their combo.

Anita Hill

Anita Hill, the woman known for opposing Clarence Thomas in a court of law, has also never been married. Today, she’s 60 years old and prefers to keep the more intimate details of her personal life completely private.

Hill has said, however, about her longtime boyfriend, “We’re both committed, and we’re happy. We’re together every day of the year, but we each have our own home. I don’t have anything against marriage; I haven’t decided not to do it. I just haven’t decided to do it.”

Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906)

She was dedicated to the abolition of slavery and workers' rights but marriage was not on her mind. She organized anti-slavery campaigns and fought for women's right to vote. In 1877 she said in a speech that as women gained more freedoms it would be harder for them to submit to the inequalities of marriage.

Diane Keaton

The great Diane Keaton can boast several high-profile boyfriends from her past, which include Woody Allen, Warren Beatty, and Al Pacino, but she’s never said, “I do” to any of them. Instead, she’s slayed at being a talented actress (hello, Oscar for Best Actress in Annie Hall) and has over 60 acting credits to her name. Her personal life is also fulfilled as she’s a proud mom to 2 adopted children.
Keaton once shared her thoughts on marriage: “I don’t think that because I’m not married it’s made my life any less. That old maid myth is garbage.”

Clara Barton (1821-1912)

Barton found her calling as a health-care worker at age 10 when she nursed her brother back to health after he fell off a roof. At age 17 she became a teacher and later she became the first female clerk at the U.S. Patent Office and the first female clerk to be paid equal to a man's salary.

She received three marriage proposals and turned them all down. Though she thought of different men as possible lovers, no one of them measures up to her ideal of a husband her nephew Stephen said about her decision to remain single.

Clarissa Harlowe Barton, known as Clara, is one of the most honored women in American history. Barton risked her life to bring supplies and support to soldiers in the field during the Civil War. She founded the American Red Cross in 1881, at age 59, and led it for the next 23 years. Her understanding of the ways she could provide help to people in distress guided her throughout her life. By the force of her personal example, she opened paths to the new field of volunteer service. Her intense devotion to serving others resulted in enough achievements to fill several ordinary lifetimes.

Most of the women you posted have kids and even a man. Nothing beats having a spouse. Women with spouse are more mentally balanced and make good decisions.

Unlike those that sleep alone and wake alone. There is a part in your life you can't replace with a pillow or a dog

The same applies to men.

Greta Garbo

In 1955, film legend Greta Garbo told TIME Magazine, “If I could find the right person to share my life with, I would. If you are blessed, you are blessed, whether you are single or married.”

The screen star was close to getting married once; in 1927, she left her former co-star and longtime love, Jack Gilbert, at the altar on their wedding day. Garbo wasn’t the warmest person towards those she wasn’t acquainted with and for many years, a rumored relationship between she Mimi Pollak was often discussed.

Why is this important? We have thousands of nuns and reverend sisters around us. Unlike the above profiles who somehow always have more dvcks to play with, nuns don't even get to experience sex and the pleasure that comes with it.

Most of them have partners but without the intricacies of "I Do". That they did not marry doesn't mean they led a lonely life

Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel had some high-profile affairs during the peak of her career but as for marriage, the famous fashion designer once said, “I never wanted to weigh more heavily on a man than a bird.”

Coco Chanel was a child orphan who had to grow up and learn the importance of not just resilience, but independence. She never came close to marriage but is suspected of mothering a child, her nephew André Palasse, that was raised by her sister.

It's their choice and has to be respected.

Their choice,their life. We should neither judge them for marrying and subtly judge those who value marriage(as woke people do to traditional women)

To each his own tent

Charlize Theron

Like many other successful actresses on our list, Theron has had several high-profile relationships, but has never been married. Instead, she won an Oscar for Monster (2003), starred in over 60 films, and is actively producing many projects. But most importantly, Charlize is a mom. She adopted 2 kids in 2012 and 2015 and raises them as a single mom.
Theron explained her stance on being single in 2014: “I’m sure there are a lot of aspects to my life that a lot of people wouldn’t want... Just personal choice things, like the fact that I’m single at 38. That’s not necessarily what a lot of women want... But I’m just saying, a life is good if it’s the life that you want... But I work at that, you know?”

Marriage in their case was/would have been formalty.

Imagine Oprah saying she is not married and living with her lover like forever.

Harper Lee

The Pulitzer Prize winning author of the American classic To Kill A Mockingbird never married.

Until you see some colors together, you really can never visualize their combo.

"A woman should marry " "A woman should not marry" are both constructs that cages people's choices
The traditional people are guilty of using the first statement.The non traditional (woke and feminists) are used to using the second statement.
Sadly the woke ones don't classify the second statement as oppressive as the first.

When one fights against people living out their "traditional beliefs",it is called enlightenment.
When one fights against people living their " modern beliefs " it is called oppression.

True enlightenment is giving room for those that wants to be traditional.

People like LadyGCrueDKilaB ,biglittlelois,dande55,ariza,fieryy ,liberalchick et Al that came for your head will never understand this.

We should live and let live.

All I see are celebrities, white women, Americans/British, etc.


Please create a list that perfectly encapsulates the lifestyle/culture of an average Nneka, Adetutu, or Aisha on the streets of Nigeria.

People with a good grasp on reality do not use the 2%
to make a point, when in fact there's a startling 98% that are not of the status or pedigree of any of these women.

Condoleezza Rice

Rice was the first African-American female Secretary of State, and the second African-American Secretary of State (after Colin Powell). Today, Rice is a political science professor at Stanford University, and a director of its Global Center for Business and the Economy. When TV interviewer Piers Morgan asked Rice why she had never married, she replied that “the fact is I’ve never found anybody that I want to spend my life with."

The average Nneka and Adetutu has been conformed by the society to believe that her worth and life purpose is tied to marriage.And without marriage she is nothing and cannot make it in life.

If you think outside the box and cage that the society has put you in you will be labelled and called all sorts of names for thinking differently.

The white or oyinbo society is quite different because they give room for new ideas and do not force you to conform due to the fact that they have evolved.They were once like us too.

Dambisa Moyo is an African woman from Zambia at 51, unmarried the last time I checked and doing well for herself.

And you are neither white, nor are you Dambisa who serves on the board of Barclays.

A list containing average Nigerian women (not celebrities), is what will be a more realistic representation.

Because they are nuns now they are better than these people. Nobody asked them to deprive themselves of sex. It's what they chose. And how are you 100 percent sure they dont ever experience sex? What if they masturbate or sleep with the reverend father
Celebrate the nuns if you want to, without having to downplay these women as well

crackland:

The list are celebrities because they are popular and the ones we know and can have a certain influence on people.

When you interview the average ones let me know.
People use celebrities more because they are popular and their stories are out there.

The stories of Nneka and Adetutu is unknown because either they have refused to share or they are not that popular to influence or reach a wide audience

Genevieve Nnaji

One of the most beautiful women in the world remains unmarried against all odds.

The truth is it's not easy finding that worthy person. Some of us dont know what good marriages looks like judging from our parents own. Reading stories here everyday is a nightmare, it's better to be single than miserable in marriage. Have kids if you want to

Modified; SINGLE basically means I AM NOT MARRIED, not that they didnt have partners or whatever. And that to me is saving themselves from lot of marriage commitments that dont even hold water these days.

Now why would I do that?

I'm not the one trying to prove that an average Nneka, Adetutu, or Aisha, is happily unmarried by choice.

Y'all should enter road and do your research to make your point.

I see you suffer selective comprehension, you read and understand what you only want to understand. Earlier before, you mentioned that I mock/insult Buka for her thread but for the fact that you are inconsequential to my being here I did away with the desire to ask you to point out where I insulted or mocked the lady and graciously ignored. However seeing you have the this uncontrollable urge to drag me into whatever feud going on with the ladies here, I will not watch you label me as what I'm not or create a false reputation of me.

Any further attempt or mention to involve me in your childish tantrums/controversies here would be reported. It is advisable you have some self respect and maintain your lane. Thanks.

Direct it to the OP then.
Nor be me open thread


The thread was not about the average Nneka,Adetutu and Aisha you brought that one up by yourself and since you want to hear their stories to know if it is realistic or not interview them.
That is your own cup of tea not the OP's
So you enter road do your research
