Many men have singlehandedly raised great sons and daughters who are doing very well without any emotional support from any goddamn mother. Instances abound. There is no verifiable evidence to back up your claim that any child that doesn't grow up with both parents always end up having one social problem or the other. It is perhaps one of the many bigoted opinions that some people have.
My broda I agree with you absolutely....many people think just because a child is raised by a woman the child will fair better....I am yet so see the proove of that....some men do great work with teir children...all in all..both parents raising a child is d best

Nothing is more pathetic than waking up one morning to discover that you are alone and sad.

You spent all your time sampling girls and bragging about it, while making fun of those that have serious relationships and telling yourself that all girls are b.itches and w.hores and materialistic.

There are girls that when you hook up with, all the aforementioned reasons will not even count because they can go the extra mile to make it work.

Wake up brothers. Loneliness is not ideal.
I don't support sleeping around but I'd take waking up alone than being married with too much financial headache just because of wedding.

Well, women are the one that feel the lonliness than men. I know of a man than the wife died after three years of marriage and has single handely raised three kids for 10yrs.

When I see folks ranting all these stereotypical injustices, I just know they are yet to attain maturity. Boys are very different from men...very different

And Some of these "men" have died prematurely from health related problems such as High Blood Pressure, Stroke etc because of the psychological trauma of having to know that the woman whom you thought was worth it has turned to be your most revered enemy.

Some of these "Men" end up facing hell in their homes and dread going back to the house at the close of work in order to avoid the devil in their house in the cloak of a wife.

Some of these "Men" spend the remaining prime of their lives raising children whom he thinks are his own biologically only to discover out of either necessity or providence that the chldren who called you daddy all those years belong to different men.

I would rather choose to remain a boy and live a stress - free life of freedom than be a man and nose-dive to my death or become a miserable emotional wreck!

Marraige is nothing but a fraud!

Op from your write up 75% of the reason young men are single is entirely not their fault so is not a bad record .

[[s]quote author=Rapmoney post=31283720]Often times, most young men in Nigeria are quick to see and pick out ladies who are not married in the society. They can go on and on to give You countless lists of reasons why these ladies are single and why they would remain so. Their reasons could centre on the quest for material things by these ladies or their high degree of pride. There's need to shift the search light a bit, to the male folks (Am still very proud to be a man and I wouldn't change it if I were to come to the world again). There are so many young men who are in their late twenties and thirties and still unmarried and lonely! What could be the cause? Because going by personal knowledge of some of my fellow young men and sober discussions I had with them, I have come to understand that most of them long for a committed relationship, marriage and a lovely family (My humble self is not exempted from this, please). Below are some of the salient reasons that could account for this type of situation:

1) The high cost of bride price (mostly in the eastern region) and the many unnecessary jamborees that go with marriage ceremonies (applicable to most parts of Nigeria) has made most young men to crawl into their shells like snails. When I created a thread on the issue of marriage becoming a luxury in Nigeria, some e-warriors wanted to slit my throat through their keypads. A situation where you have to save to facilitate a marriage, coupled with other pending projects begging to be attended to (We all know not everyone is Dangote's son), you might get confused and curse love. Especially, when you have so many things to accomplish or put in place. These days, most ladies would not date you beyond a year without you tying the knot with them (That is if you have not realised that you are the only one in a relationship that was originally meant for two).

2.Omo, e nor easy for some guys o! Who nor go nor go know. With the harsh economic conditions necessitated by our past rulers and complemented by the corrupt government of the day, many young men are still struggling to find their feet. You might not know this until you leave the comfort zone...the comfort of your parents home! That is if you have one! There are peeps who have never known comfort in a home since they were born! So you think this doesn't affect our young men physically, emotionally and psychologically? Some have come to 'hate' love and marriage yet, they long for them! This accout for why some young men are still unmarried and 'lonely'.

3) The lifestyles of most ladies in our society have also made it difficult for many young men to get married. You might hook up with a lady today with the false belief that she is decent and God-fearing; in the long run, you find out that everything has been a high profile scam!!! What next? You start all over again to fall in love and start a relationship! Common! That exercise drains your mental energy like hell!!! This has made young men to be very wary...many have remained single, still searching grin

4) The careless attitude of some young men is among the reasons why they are not married. I always encourage my younger male cousins and nephews to start life early enough. There are some men who spent their teenage and adolescent years drinking, partying, gallivanting and lazying about. They only reaslise that time is not on their side when they clock 38! In my neighbourhood, there men who are above 30 but their attitude and way of life, coupled with the way they talk and reason is half their age...not better that the reasoning of a silly teenager!!! If you are in this type of situation...no house of your own, no job, no degree, no training or skills, and you in your late twenties or early thirties, I seriously wonder if any sane and serious woman would want to enter into a committed relationship with you.

Views are very welcomed...

Marriage is strong in societies where men dominate and women are dependent on men for their upkeep. As women become more empowered they will demand more equality as they start to see through the bullshit of men and marriages crumble.
Loneliness and aloneness are not the same thing . Loneliness entails longing for company and feeling of incompleteness. Others may feel complete and have no such yearnings . We are different animals

One can be married and very lonely. Many marriages are for show outside. They do not eat from the same pot or sleep in the same bed for years. The most important thing is to have your kids everything else is story. Do not let anyone deceive you that you are missing anything. Marriage is good for SOME but not everyone. Not every animal is a domestic animal that will be fed by its owner. Some will be in the wild hunting to survive

Wake up brothers. Loneliness is not ideal.

Well, I would say you are right about feeling lonely but definitely not because you don't have a partner to wake up beside.
In my own, I have not just found someone who I feel I can be with. I guess more so that it has to do with my non-belief in religion. Guess that what most girls want.

Misplaced piorities- I know someone who is into flashy girls only and these girls in turn needs maintainance which he cannot provide. I keep asking why not go for the girl that you can take care of comfortably. I remember a gist he told me about going out with 1 of his gf to research for her finalyear project w years back, they were together at the taxi rank waiting for more passengers then a car reversed back and called his girlfriend's name, turned out it was an old friend of her's. She went towards the car, spoke with the occcupants, entered the car and they zoomed off leaving her supposed boyfriend who was going to help her with her project work.

Hahahahaha... The guy continue her project ??
