Nothing wrong being stay single!  It is preference based on individual's experiences differently!!!

No, it's not wrong.

But, it can be very lonely.

@poster

blurt it out already !

who stole ur biscuits

Nope!! It depends if u r single by choice or by circumstances.  If it by circumstances (hurt by relationship) then surely u have a problem.  But remember, strong women don't let a failed relationship stop them from dating.  Also, if you are like me, you have high standards. Don't worry, just focus on what you want and you'll attract your soulmate.

However, currently, I have been single (by choice) for over a year and its the best blessing i have ever experienced.  At this moment, my daughter and my God are  my best friends/companion.

Peace

see advert o . . .

there is nothing bad in staying single .
but there are a whole lot of single ladies/women that are not really single, the yorubas call them,
''iya n dagbe baba n yo wa''
meaning- mama is staying alone and men are sneaking in regularly

remember what paul said in d bible( not a bibl freak so i dont know d xact chapter), 'if you can cope, i'd advice that you remain single, '

@ topic:

there's nothing wrong with taking a break occasionally, from relationships. Planning to stay single forever, however, is a different thing entirely. Not really advisable, unless the person has no other choice.[s]Though there are some people ( mainly oyibo) who decide to remain unmarried forever.[/s]

Sometimes people need time to heal, or just reevaluate themselves.

And the ideal partner can come into your life when you're not even actively looking for one.

relationship wahala can be very stressful sometimes, even when things are rosy.


by the way,I hope its not all this tuface & co, as well as some of the nairaland posters who are busy abusing the women who did them bad,that are scaring you into the idea of staying single.

@topic,
Be free to do what you want. Don't let anyone make you feel incomplete because you don't have a man. Singleness is an option and there is absolutely wrong with that as long as you don't bring different guys into your house because that's just wrong.

There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG

GOSH!!! Thanks for posting this, yes, there is nothing wrong with staying single, i am 28 n for sometime now i have been single n loving it. maybe cuz i dont have a nigerian man in my life reminding me that he is the man or maybe cuz i have found thati love myself more. all my life i had a man in my life and all they did was waste my time. when my man left me in december i told myself i needed to breathe, life is too short n if you have to enjoy it alone go ahead but if u find your special one go ahead. nowadays my family n friends think am weird cuz i never have that thing with falling for any guy and i dont feel bad cuz people can hurt u so much and when u give so much you get little.

when i meet people the ability to think liberally kills them, who said a man copletes a woman or a woman completes a man, its all a man made thing, so many broken marriages but owmen stay they cuz they wantto be called MRS. i gave up a long time ago, now am focusing on me me me,

Nothing wrong at all. Not everyone wants to get married, anyway.

No it's not wrong to be single. It's not a sin to be single.

But it is lonely and honestly the oppostie sex need each other.

I agree with the igbo saying above.

~Lady~:

honestly the oppostie sex need each other.

Why the angst?

Nubian's found a concept that suits her, where's the harm in that?

@ Topic,

Notin' wrong wit being single.

There are stages in life. At one time, you will so cherish your own space and company that you wont want someone in your life.

At another time you would want someone by your side, someone you know is just for you. Especially Gal, when you go for a function and see all them your Galfriend with thier hubbies and kids Trust me Gal you wold wish you had yours.

Unfortunately we cannot eat our chin chin and have it. Even married ones wish they were single at some time in life but what do we do?

The society doesnt even help matters at all, it freaks me out when i hear people say a woman should not be respected no matter how old if she is not married.

I even hear unmarried people cannot attain some positions. What a discrimination i would say. But what can we do.

If you ask me, we are better off married. It comes with alot of sacrifice, having to tolerate and endure some things that you wouldn't on a good day. Look on the brighter side of marriage too, knowing you belong to somebody, kids, pain and beauty of togetherness etc.

There's always a brighter side of life, look on it.

Singlehood is not a curse is a state of existence, every1 is called into singlehood, but as time progress and as GOD has designed coupled with the level of understanding and maturity you have attained then and only then will you get to the level of maritial commitment,
When you are single its a time to get all the training you need for the marriage institution you are hoping to have, there are so many errors in marriages today becos of unfufilled singlehood.
Where you find yourself is for a purpose, singlehood for eternity, i dont know if thats GOD's plan for everyone but dont condition your mind to anything negative, be happy, love others as yourself, strive to be a better person, dont search for Mr. or Mrs Right by the right person, goodluck,
by the way am single and grateful to be alive,

if being single is wot u want, then go for it. But it is a lonely life

Must one marry for him not to be "lonely"? You could have a partner. There are men and women who don't over rate marriage like most people do.

Yea, I know it's God ordained bla bla but HE doesn't consider being single improper either.

Rather single than a product of misery.
