BabaJoe001: I read all the stories on here. And I had to pity the ladies Stop being desperate! Men will never respect you if you are . It doesn't matter whether you are 30 or anything. Those that married in their early 20s are regretting and wished they had chilled down a bit. Because their dreams and freedom are taken away from them seems you don't know that marriage is a bondage. I have a lady that married at 24 got divorced at 32 and said she will never marry again. She has 3 kids already. She said the biggest mistake she made was getting married early. Now she is the happiest woman in the world. Raising her kids if you like Call her a single mother, that's your headache. She is a happy single Mother. living well.. no troubles....Men came for marriage she chased all of them away.. all of them well to do. They will be begging. Because this lady is very responsible.. she has found her voice and found meaning in life within 3 years. But she will tell me she doesn't need Men anymore . The reason why those still married cant leave is because it's their husbands that feeds them. They are scared to leave. am a Man, but I can tell you Most Men are useless. A man go show you love but once u are married, then he changes.. he will be telling you what do you want again.. you are eating .. he is paying bills ..as if that's all marriage is made for Well thats a topic for another day. so back to our "desperate" ladies ..please it's Rubbish. Don't be desperate.. look for money... Get a skill. Then you will be amazed it's Men that will come to propose. The only beautiful thing I see in marriage is children.. others na scam.. Because Men go show their colour. You are not a man biko. You be something else. There are bad men and bad women everywhere. It is never a gender thing bro. 13 Likes |

Fast forward to 7 years later, She's not Yet married now, Depression Has finished her, She couldn't celebrate her 34th birthday last year, instead she just Stay indoors and cry all day!!

Laslas it's a man's world. From all the stories out there its obvious there are more ladies desperate for marriage than men. Its understandable though. At 40 a man is still fit and if he's doing well financially he will even look better with age. But for most ladies by 27 to 30 you go just weak for wetin you dey see coupled with the fact younger girls are coming up every day. The competition gets hotter for the older ladies. Okay. |

They can't help themselves
Am not judging anyone at least do it codedly .Don't beg outrightly.

Re: Have You Dated Someone Who Desperately Wanted To Get Married? by mikolo80: 5:10pm On Jun 14, 2020 |
ravensckar: Honestly, when I read one-sided write ups like these, I feel appalled. Ain't there two sides to a coin any more? The so-called 'desperation' from ladies may not always be what you think. It could be a way of saying their own mind is made up. They have no more time to waste.
Now, let me shock you with my own story. When I met the lady I'm married to today, she told me straight up that she's not in for any long term relationship. She's almost done with school and that if the relationship won't lead to marriage, I should jejely excuse her. Me being the 'guyman' that I was then, I wanted to chop and clean mouth. I sha played along with the intent to chop until I'm full. Now, therein lies my confusion; the said lady in question was everything I wanted in a woman (beautiful, educated, well behaved, God-fearing and highly industrious). But I have just one problem; I wasn't ready for marriage. Money no dey, even the job I was doing then, salary was around 70K.
She sha encouraged me that we should pull our resources together and that we'll survive. Long story cut short, I decided to give it a shot. After all, person wey dey ground no get anywhere to fall to. We got married in less than 4 months of dating. When I mean married, I mean a proper and elaborate wedding. Brethrens, today we're still together. Yes, she's not perfect just like I'm not as well, but we are still happily married.
It was later I understood the reason for her 'desperation'. She had wasted too much time dating some Bleep boys, hence, she felt she has no more time to waste. To her, if it's not going to lead to marriage, then, she shouldn't even venture into it. What we guys see as 'desperation' to some ladies, it's called making up their mind. USD desperation Just at earlier age |

Klass99:
I don't know why most men assume that some of us are still single and miserable, because we turned down their marriage proposal and if we hadn't done that, we would be married and happy today. Smh and lol As if they can see into the future or as if marriage guarantees happiness.
Right after uni, a man 10 years older than me wanted us to get married and proposed. I told him I'm not ready for marriage I want to finish youth service, find honest work to do for a living, before I consider marriage.
As a young girl who loved reading fiction novels like The Women's Murder Club, Agatha Christie, Nancy Drew and watching movies like L.A Law, Return to Eden etc. My mind was exposed to a world of possibilities, of what I could do as a single woman.
I loved all these books/movies, because the female characters were always depicted as responsible, law abiding, well adjusted adults with jobs and flats of their own, paying their own bills and I wanted that sort of life for myself, so when he proposed marriage the mental images of a wedding, pregnancy, children weren't aligning with what was in my heart/head.
Do I regret turning down his proposal or subsequent ones? No, I don't. Because I like where my life is at and the freedom that comes with being single. Singleness is a gift and a blessing, when managed appropriately and effectively. There's freedom, time and energy to do things like seek God, develop skills/talents, go back to school if you want to etc
I think a lot of women don't know or understand this, which explains the desperation I see men describing on this thread. But I speak as a woman who doesn't want children, so I can't relate to this over 30, biological clock ticking, I must marry last year thingy. ![smiley](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/smiley.png)

Re: Have You Dated Someone Who Desperately Wanted To Get Married? by fairheart(m): 5:16pm On Jun 14, 2020 |
Xj2020: Yes. In my own case she deliberately got pregnant for me and I had no choice than to marry her thinking it was right thing to do. See my story below https://www.nairaland.com/5922955/how-cope-ill-mannered-housewife
If you are good you are good, and if you are bad you are bad. You might hide your bad side for a while. However, it is only a matter of time before everything would come out to the open. The Big Brother Show is a perfect example. My story is that of a young chap that fell in love and got married to the women of his supposedly dream with kids. From day one till date, my beloved wife has been anything but a good housewife. She doesn't give me peace of mind. Always looking for ways to provoke me. My wife isn't submissive. She is abusive and unappreciative of all I have done and have been doing for her and the children. This is even though the financial burden of the house has been mine 100% from the beginning to date. This is a woman that does not want to do any kind of work if it is not a government job. I have provided her with everything she asked for and even those things she didn't ask for. This woman has never lacked anything in my house to date My beloved wife insults me in the presence of our kids. Mind you, I don't smoke, drink, and womanize. Neither have I laid my hands on her or intend on laying my hands on her. This is a woman I help with house chores like sweeping, washing the bathroom and toilets, and mobbing the house at my leisure time. This woman has taken sides against in the time past when I had a misunderstanding with some persons outside. This woman isn't scared to insult my parents every time we have a misunderstanding. My mother-in-law isn't helping matter as she has continued to instigate her daughter against me. I have finally decided to move out of the house for the now and see how things play out. If things don't improve, then I would have no choice than to seek divorce. Notwithstanding, the children would continue to be my responsibility. Mature advice would be highly appreciated.
Any matured advice would be highly appreciated from the house. . Well, have you talked with your wife and point to her all she has done? Like talk face to face, as husband and wife? Have you asked her if there's anything you're doing that she doesn't want and that makes her behave the way she's doing? I'd say I have only read one side of the story; I am sure she'll say one or two things. Other than this, talk to her face to face, like a man, before you divorce her. Let her know how her actions make you feel. Let her know you are not happy and you want your family back, and you want her to do her part. If she doesn't change, please decide what's best for you. |

streamsofjoy: I wish ladies will see all these stories and learn. Of course there are also stories of men desperate to be married for one reason or the other, but na our own plenty pass. See the way men talk about women any how cos of the attitude of some of us. Las las na we dey make men treat any woman dem see without respect and dignity. I wish we can just repackage ourselves. The sentimental talk of "they have sister, mother and daughter" no dey enter men again Babe, on behalf of most niggas in the building including me, we love women, we love women so much that we could give our Kingdom and generation for their sake. Adam did it, Samson did, but after personal experiences, it will be an aberration to repeat the mistakes of our forefathers and thus we are wisening up. We are now wise as a serpent and humble like a dove. As a woman, this century is the best to marry. As years turn into decades, if women continue to be leeches, NFAs, and see men as a meal ticket and a means to affluent lives they can't afford, their worth will be practically and even legally relegated. See Kim & Kanye signed a pre-nuptal agreement, you misbehave and divorce me, you get no penny out of the divorce. See how Kim, that many girls model their lives after helped organized Kanye's life. Kanye is a billionaire now. Check the screen goddess Mercy Johnson, four children from her after 6 years, she is enjoying her marriage. Mercy is a woman many girls wanted to be like before marriage. Therefore, from this analysis, it can be deduced that any girl can become what they were originally created to be , no matter their exposure, if they CHOOSE to. Howbeit, how many girls are willing to become a REAL helper they were created to be? ln Nigeria, just few!!! 34 Likes |

KevinDein:
It's not unusual for young ladies (20s) to have multiple suitors because that's when they are at the peak of their sexual market value (SMV). The issue here is that women's hypergamous nature gets the better of them. They think these interests are gonna last a life time and they keep holding out for the best option.
A decade later, in their 30s with low SMV, the interests drastically nose dive and they'll probably only get approaches from low value males hence the desperation they show when they meet any man that's half decent. You'll find most of the guys that post on this thread were actually involved with older women.
It's not uncommon.

I tell you my man!!! Although some are blameless for not being married at 30. But if you look around it's mostly cos these girls see fantasies on social media and will not settle for less. social media has done a lot of damage, it gave girls an over bloated sense of self worth. It's not bad to have a positive or healthy image but when It gets pretty ugly is when you presume it to be more than it's actually worth. They miscontrue the attention they get on social to be a true representative of what their life really is, so they always feel they can always get someone better than the person they are actually dating, na for 30's their eyes dey clear because men will always go for young girls. Women in their 30's do marry, but exceptions do not make the rule. Women need to be smart o. 13 Likes |
