@graciousolo
Thanks for the compliment

@everyone.
Pls feel free to make friends, network, socialise, or hook up (to quote roland). If ur for real, fake people no go see u jam ooo. If ur fake, well....

At this age and stage in our lives we should be blunt and very outspoken, we seem to have seen it all, done it al, been there and back, its a lot more than just sex or companionship..its more about LIVING and enjoying it.. So quote me anywhere..LET'S HOOK UP.. Likes attracts likes, so if you are get hooked to a fake, then how real are you?

Very true


All these forming and hypocrisy dey always vex me where you see people always try to paint a superlative picture of themselves.

Igboro o rerin and many ladies you see out there don't know what they want but trust me, if a lady hooks up with you online for a date you can be more certain that she means business especially if she is 30 or above.

You will hardly see decent ladies out there except maybe in theire work place where you cant disturb them and another place is in their homes where you cant barge into.

The other option is online where they can be in their bedroom and hook up with you. It will amaze you the quality of friends i have on nairaland both male and female and i don't think i have ever met such friends offline.Decent and responsible set of ladies that any man will be proud of.

Trust me, it can be frustrating wooing a lady offline because you dont even know the one that is married,engaged or not even searching but online you are most likely to get a decent single and searching lady just at a click.

Look at the creator of this thread and observe her personality and tell me if she does not seem very responsible yet you will hardly even think of walking up to her one on one due to prejudice.

im aactually hoping that there will be a section on nairaland for age groups.

As in seriously, I have been on NL for a while, I had to go off for close to 3 yrs and get back again, its hard to know who is real and who just wanna have sex and go(trust me ladies also do that) cos most of the ladies you meet on the streets are just out on a revenge mission, and who bears the pain? Innocent men with genuine intentions, vice versa. Me am single and truly know what I want, how and when I want it.

@toks
Ok ooo. Uve won my heart ooo. Am seriously blushing.

This is why the thread is for 30plus so any lady of 30years and above who just wants to have sex with you is a confirmed LovePeddler and i will not advice you on what o do with a LovePeddler.

You look calm and pretty but sorry to ask were you never married or probably divorced? you may feel uncomfortable with this question but its important to know so that we all can have a clue and learn something.

I am actually 32, and single won't mind hooking up or being close friends with any lady on this thread. As long as she is matured. Maturity ain't age O

Toks2008:


One big reason why i love this thread is because for the first time mature minds and age are having a thread that will be geared towards networking and socializing because honestly im fed up with mixed threads where teenagers and adolescents just relate with you as though you are mates with them and a boy of 20 will be cursing a 40year old as though they are mates..

It may interest many to know that the best place to hook up(not date) is online and when i create a thread explaining why then you all will agree with me.

The quality of ladies i have hooked up with as friends online have surpassed the trial and error offl;ine friends and i believe with a thread like this,people can find true friendship and taking it to the next level will be a discretionary.

Your correct ...I am not single but I think your correct and I enjoy the calmness in this thread ...it shows that a lot of kids are on nairaland .one can't even make comment without been insulted and most time you get to know their age by writing style ...another matured thread is car section and real estate ...forget politics that place is whack

I think there should be section as in age in nairaland


Yes I hated seasame street but loved speed racer .. Just 36 with lively family

I don't believe in age notion. To be frank cos I have seen 43 yr old man reason like 21 yr old so I do not respect people based on age but on reasoning. I expect people to respect me bases on the same


The problem we seem to have in Africa is that we attach too much respect to age and that is what is drawing us back .


A child that is well traveled is wiser than an old man that stayed at home all his life ...igbo adage

I love this thread....I feel been single isn't a curse...ask us that have family ..at a point you just can't have your privacy ..your been marooned and dictated .today one in-law tomorrow tehy will say don't you know your married ...society expects you to behave certain way ...you have lost your privacy


Been single is been akin to a bird very free...you can have cookies and crunchies for dinner and you don't owe anybody explainatiob why you won't eat her food....and the women ..hmmm they will come


But happy independence

Must eat madam dinner or you will be accused of eating in her place

You must be at the church on Sunday or you will be looked at unbeliever
Must take your girl for a walk once in a week or you will be seen as not bonding
Must know everything so that madam and baby will look up to you
Must be strong so that the family must lean on you
Must not show emotional softness so that the family can be strong


MUST NOT LOOK AT THAT PRETTY LADY ARSE SO THAT YOU WILL NOT BE NAGGED
MUST NOT HAVE LADIES IN WHATSAPP CHAT OR UNBURDEN TO ANY LADY FRIEND
MUST NOT SLEEP ALONE IN YOUR OWN ROOM AND MADAM IN HER ROOM

must always call madam when your on business and oversea trip

So many must and must



So you see been single is a good thing and it makes you free . you can even smoke in your living room and have fun..but when she is there ....you dare not

But wait ooooo how did you remember all of these?

Hi guys, how are y'all doing?

This is a great thread with the right intentions and hopefully will yield the desired results even though I'm in no way eligible to participate with you guys (I'm in my mid twenties).

My reason for this comment is to get clarity and hopefully better knowledge a on couple of things.

Firstly, is it everyone here that is single due to past/present relationship misfortunes or some are single by choice? Personally, I have a problem with the Nigerian interpretation of marriage, the pressure they exert on single people at particular ages and the fact that they think it is an achievement in life. I strongly feel Nigerians need a reorientation on the whole idea of marriage and need to understand that it isn't a 'do or die' affair.
Over time, I've noticed that most marriages in Nigeria fail because most participants of the concerned union were not ready but pressurized into making the ultimate decision. Most of them don't even spend enough time to know their partners before tying the knot due to said parental and community pressure and stigmatization.

Secondly, I really understand where you are coming from with the age restriction but I still strongly believe a lot of semi-indomie kids (e.g. Myself) might also have a thing or two to contribute. Some of us are actually way ahead of our ages.
I also suggest you guys find a way to contact Seun and pitch the idea of him giving OPs reasonable control over their threads, such as hiding comments. That way nobody will need to start making reports to MODs and waiting till eternity for them to take action. Every OP will have the responsibility of keeping his/her thread tidy and relevant. With such a system, Miss Siamia won't need to bother herself launching and relaunching warnings, she can always get rid of irrelevant and immature comments herself.

Thirdly, I don't think anybody that is desperate to either find love or get married should be here. He/She will only end up worsening their case. Desperation is a destructive disease, it makes everyone see your vulnerability and play on it. Nobody wants to be stuck to a desperate partner. So if you are at that stage, take time to rediscover yourself. Find your values and reasons you are worth it. Believe in yourself because if you don't, nobody else will.

That said, I'll like to make friends here if you guys won't mind the age difference.

I wish everyone the very best, happy mingling and remember that honesty is key. Nothing built on a foundation of lie(s) can ever stand, let alone last.

CIAO!
