Variety, they say is the spice of life. Of course their are many fishes in the river, but the trick is finding "that" very fish in the river. 1 Like |

dayokanu: I tend to agree that there are more eligible women than men. Maybe this is where the assertion comes fromYou did a good analysis of the topic To add to what u already said... I think nature also cheated women in this regard and women also contributed in cheating themselves more, how? 1. A guy of 40yrs old for instance, has a wide range of ladies/girls to marry or date. In fact, a guy of 40yrs is a favourite for ladies of all ages ranging from: 18yrs and above... Real life happenings have also showed that, the older a man grows, the sexier and better ladies value him for relationship/marriage unlike women. Now for ladies, they can hardly date/marry a man that's younger than they are; very few do that and very rare, and society also doesn't always cheer it. A lady of 35yrs old for instance, is only expected to date/marry men of 35yrs and above...thereby limiting her chances and pool of men to chose from. Now, how did ladies contribute to their disadvantage on this topic? Generally, ladies can never date/marry down. How do I mean? A lady earning say, $1,000 a month can hardly or never date/marry a guy earning below $400 a month, its very rare to come by and before a lady does that, she must have exhausted all her choices. Now, majority of men of marriageable age earn below $1,000 a month, therefore, any lady earning $1,000 and above a month will intentionally limit her option of men and also reduce the number of men she can chose from because she doesn't want to date down, she will only dream/desire to date men earning above her, which in reality are in scarcity nowadays. All these makes me wonder if polygamy is the best solution to ensure all women who wishes to marry gets married.... Just wondering cos with the facts and figures on ground, not every single lady who wishes to marry will find a husband cos ladies of marriageable age have limited option of men, and young widowed ladies also adds to the increased figure of available ladies waiting to be married. 7 Likes |

But in as much as there are more ready and marriageable single women than single men in our society, I don't think most single guys in Nigeria for instance, believe that THERE ARE PLENTY FISHES IN THE RIVER...only school boys believe that...in fact, its contrary...cos majority of matured and men of marriageable age believe that: THERE IS LITTLE/NO GOOD/EDIBLE FISH IN THE RIVER TODAY ...reason u still see plenty ready/men of marriageable age still single and not even in any committed relationship. In conclusion, I would advice the single ladies reading this never to allow this statement worry or bother them, instead, they should strive to make themselves women of virtue...dependable soulmates, helpers, respectful and humble mates...and quit looking only at men at the top, but rather seek for great potential/companionship/honesty/ambition and most importantly, God's direction than basing their choices on what they see, what society promotes as ideal man and what their friends classifies as eligible bachelor. 6 Likes |

claremont: It is true that there are many fishes in the sea, but the real question is how many of these fishes are actually edible?! Most of the so-called fishes in the sea are the leftovers from many a harvest, they are not worth wasting time deploying a hook. My candid view though is to deploy a net rather than a hook, when we have caught a large number of fishes, we can sit down and select an edible one out of the lot.correct !!! abeg chop knuckle 1 Like |

Daresh:Statistically, you maybe right when u base it on global population. But if u limit your statistical study within Nigeria alone, it will be wrong, in the sense that: 1. We have no accurate figure of Nigeria's population. And we have no accurate record of male and female deaths in Nigeria too...but from our own human record/perspective, more men die than women. There are high number of widowed ladies in Nigeria if u don't know, reason ladies should strive to give their husbands peace of mind. More Nigerian men die before their wives...if u doubt me, start today to take a statistical record and see... Many Nigerian husbands die in accident, some in office fight/war, some die while dragging/contesting for posts and ranks, more die in crime (robbery, kidnapping, boko haram, drug-related offences, etc), land disputes, peace-keeping missions, of course we have less Nigerian women in combat military and less do engage in land dispute. Male children are the target of family enemies in every Nigerian family setting, I am sure u won't deny that fact. More Nigerian women are possessed with evil/demonic husband spirits. Some analyst say its cos of their numerous intimate indulgences with men of all manners, including men with diabolical powers... And these demonic/spirit husbands always surface once they marry, and start to worry their husbands as soon as they get married, and most times, these demonic spirits most Nigerian ladies possess before marriage do kill or cause the early deaths of their husbands, leaving more married women in Nigeria without husband. Again, like I stated in my previous points above, a single lady of say 30yrs can never, very rare, date or marry a guy of 25yrs...she can only date/marry men of 30yrs and above...hence, she has intentionally limited her option of men. Again, a Nigerian single lady earning say, $1,000 a month can never, very rare, date or marry a single guy earning below $500 a month, and majority of single guys of marriageable age in Nigeria today earn below $500 a month, while more are unemployed. Now, a Nigerian single lady earning say $500 or $1,000 a month has again limited her option of men due to the fact that she cannot date down...she wants to date up, to maintain a high class, to please her friends, her colleagues and her society. In conclusion, all the above factors put together makes it true that there are more marriageable women in Nigeria than marriageable men. Let every wise lady use her wisdom and not what her friends/society says. 3 Likes |

dayokanu: I tend to agree that there are more eligible women than men. Maybe this is where the assertion comes from Even before birth, d female (X) chromosome travels faster than d male (Y) chromosome , so it gets fertilized faster,hence more female babies are born. Also d male (Y) chromosome is more likely to experience miscarriage. This explains why most families have more female children. My neighbour has 6 children - ALL FEMALE. THey kept on having children in d hope of getting a male child. 2 Likes |

Nuzo': Have you ever ask yourself why this is so in China? China, both indirectly and directly, controlled their population growth by offering incentives such as reduced tax burden, free access to some services, better medicare and so on to families having only a child. But the Chinese culture places premium on male children. With the advances recorded in Medicine, the sex of a baby desired can be pre-determined. Pregnancies that are female are simply terminated. This way they enjoy the government incentives and have their desire child. This also contributes to the increase in kidnapping of female children from rural china. 3 Likes |
