The 30's Syndrome by babycakes2(f): 12:03pm On Jun 26, 2010 |
At a wedding the other day, i was seated in the midst of some lovely ladies, and i realised that all they talked about was how they wanted to get married b4 their thirtieth birthday, and am thinking why do people dread 30 in naija, when in other parts of the world 40 is the new 30 . People, is attaining the age of thirty really as bad as the Nigerian society makes it out to be? I mean for a lady if you aren't married at thirty, does i t mean all your accomplishments =o? Guys, whatever happened to the older the sweeter it gets? please i would like to know what your views are. professional opinions most welcomed. |

30? it doesnt matter. But i am of the opinion that the earlier one gets married (if one wants to and if one has seen whom to get married to) the better jare. |

It is not Nigeria, IT THE MEN IN NIGERIA, that is making women feel that if she is not married or reproducing at a certain age then she is no good. However, in America women are getting married at a much older age and are well off. I am not suggesting that you get married when you are older, but if you are in school or working on your career then you need to focus on that but if opportunity present itself and you are with someone that loves you and you loves them then you will have to make a decision which one is more important money or love? Remember this, MONEY CANT TAKE YOU TO BED, BUT A LOVER WHO LOVES YOU CAN, |

I semi recently married my wife, she is 44; I am 42. She has never been married before; she was married to her career. I was married once before to a younger woman 10 yrs younger. Personally I like older women. Many of my older friends who have had experience with young women prefer older women. Seems that people at our age have been conditioned on how to behave. We have more experience and people skills. My wife is a very beautiful woman. She is very health conscious. She also made sure she did not get emotionally used up waiting for her ONE, so she preserved her heart and protected it from many heart breaks; I am thankful. She told me she believes if she slept around a lot, been in love with to many different guys, she would have become spiritually and mentally used up(numb), and when that one guy came along, she might not have anything left to give. I am a very lucky man. She reminds me that I am a very blessed man, lol. I tell her she is very lucky to have me also. It goes both ways. I guess what I am saying is that what ever you do, make sure you do it for LOVE. not so much for age. |

Well, men tend to like 'em young, I don't agree that it's peculiar to Nigeria. It's simple really: If I want to get married at 28, I'd prefer someone <26 If I want to get married at 38, then I'd be open to those in their 30s I don't see anything wrong in that, what's the big deal? If the ladies get to their thirties before marrying, they should marry old guys. |

Re: The 30's Syndrome by Carolece(f): 12:22am On Jun 27, 2010 |
That is why alot of marriages dont work. Marriage should only happen when you love someone, not when you are getting to old and time is running out on you. If it takes me to the time when I am 500, if I live that long thats the time I will marry someone. For now, I am very happy with me and my the age that I'm at, cant even remember when I was 30 |

Re: The 30's Syndrome by Girl846(f): 10:47pm On Jun 28, 2010 |
For me, its the earlier the better. But I have religious reasons for my view, I am still young, but I hope to get married early because I want my relationship to be blessed by God and I dont want to live immorally. In Nigeria though, society put pressure on women to get married before 30 and its not good. After all, its not something that is to be rushed into. |

For fertility reasons. |

I never knew turning 30 was a problem until I came to Nairaland. But then again, age has never been a bother to me. |
