Smh. Can u imagine what this OP posted? And later, they'll start bashing women for wanting to marry a rich man. If she gets married to a poor man, she'd have to struggle real hard on her part to sustain the family, coupled with child birth. It's almost the same situation in an average home too, esp if the husband and wife are age mates.When there's enough money, she'd be able to eat healthy, register at a gym and do whatever else that would ensure she continues looking young, beautiful and healthy as she's supposed to.




Having said all that, it depends on how u care for ur body though.. And then again.. Women tend to age faster than women.

Same here! If you see my mum's face ehn? She is still looking like someone who has no kids yet when she already has eight of us!
-
I swear down, people even think she is still single! She is a perfect definition of evergreen!
-
Years and years have passed by and she still maintains this face!

she's probably short.
that's one of the characteristics of short women.

I think you misunderstood my post. In Europe and America, you dare not say what you just said. Why? The responsibilities are shared equally. Women don't sit around so it is very difficult to push them around.

This is because Naija women don't take care of themselves after child birth. My ex is married, she has 4 kids now, she is 31 years and married for 6 years now. She old like old mama. Naija girls nor dey care for themselves after child birth.
after they get married, they just relax and get fat

Naturally, women look more mature faster than men that's why it is advisable for men to marry a very much younger woman as wife. I know girls who I know am very much older than them but physically they look very much mature especially the chubby ones.

Secondly, It is child birth.. Many Nigerian women don't do exercise after child birth, they get fat and this make them look older than their husband.

Talking about house chores I don't think that's a reason for women looking older than their husband, some women have maids who work for them.

Men too go out to work some men even work at home and isn't working like the house chores another form of exercise? cheesy

The main reason is lack of exercise, obesity.

U mean African women? They are overly lazy, especially in doing physical exercises that will keep them fresh and young. Thru should take a cue from their foreign counterpart[/quote]


Please map out a time table for African women from this list :
5.30am - Wake the family for morning devotion
6.30am - Prepare the kids for school along with lunch box for husband and kids , while the husband watch morning news
7.30am - The kids are off to school and husband to work
8.00am - Woman at work
4.00pm.- go to school pick the kids by wc ever means take them to the office while they wait to you close work for the day
6.00pm- Home to bath the kids from school, help them do their assignments and straight to the kitchen for dinner
8.00pm.- dinner
9.00pm- News which oga must watch while you are battling to stay awake
10.00pm.- Night devotion and straight to bed. Shower and prepare to service oga's conjugal rights.
11.30pm or morning you are sleeping already and close to the alarm clock for the next 5.30am.

The most important and obvious reason for your observation is childbirth.

The stress of carrying pregnancy for nine months multiplied by the number of children surely leaves frails and weakness on the woman.

if you want to prove this, go and compare a woman who has not given birth and a man of the same age
Is not true..I have Skool mate that we are 34 years now and she is not married but with the make up and a good paid job u will still see wrinkles on her face ..infact u will think that she is older than me with 5years.
What I think is too much of make up is contributing to why women are looking older than their age

"They are not just taking care of my children, even theirs too!' moreover men take care of the kids too.

Please you people should stop using this child bearing thing as an excuse Pleaseeee. I don't wanna talk about the rigorous stress and risks men go through to provide financially for 'your' kids

last time i checked marriage is made out of 2 people and they both have a duty to care for each other. If a hubby starts to neglect himself, the wife has a duty to make encourage him to get into shape again and vice versa.

Most women that look older than their husbands are in stressed marriages. Child birth might make a woman look chubby but not older, generally most men look older. Only very few women look older than their husbands . Someone can be slim but aged, another can be chubby and supple.

Makeup? Well, too much chemical based makeup damages the skin. Personally, I don't judge people...some women have it easy, others do not but we should all make individual efforts to be "physically fit".

IS SIMPLY BECAUSE OF MARRIAGE AGE AND AGE GAP BETWEEN THEM, MAIMTAINACE AND CHILD BEARING EFFECT. THE FIRST REASON IS MOST RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OBSERVATION, THIS IS WHY YOUR OBSERVATION IS MORE PRONOUNCED IN THE NORTH THAN IN THE EAST WHERE THERE IS USUALLY WIDE GAP BETWEEN THE WIFE AND HUSBAND. NOTE: WHEN I SAY THERE IS AGE GAP IN THE EAST THAN NORTH, THESE DOES NOT MEAN MARRIAGE BETWEEN ADULT AND MINOR BUT BOTH BEING MATURED AND ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR SELF BEFORE GOING INTO MARRIAGE. AN AVERAGE GIRL FROM THE EAST GOING INTO MARRIAGE IS MATURE AND UNDERSTANDS THE WOMAN NATURE, WHERE IT FAIL THE TEST OF TIME AND HOW TO MANAGE THAT BUT THE REVERSE IS THE CASE IN THE NORTH AND SOME 60% OF THE WEST. APART FROM EXCEPTIONAL CASES INVOLVING ADULT/MINOR IN MARRAGE IN THE NORTH, AN AVERAGE NORTHERNER MAINTAIN AT MOST 4 YEARS AGE DIFFERENT WITH HIS FIRST WIFE AND MARRIES EARLY WHEN THEY ARE RELATIVELY NOT EQUIPT WITH ALL IT TAKES TO MAINTAIN EACH OTHER. WHILE IN THE EAST, THE GAP ON AVERAGE IS ABOUT 8YRS AND THE TWO PEOPLE ARE LIKELY MATURE TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR SELF.
