Reasons Why Some Women Are Unmarried by babaloke: 7:09am On Apr 16, 2015
Getting a partner for marriage has become a daunting task for most women in Nigeria today; A recent survey conducted by an online polling service shows that out of every 10 women above the age of 30 ,6 are unmarried; this imbalance is further accentuated by ethnic and parental prejudice which have been created from an early age in the minds of most women. Choosing a partner outside your parents preferred ethnic group reduces her to becoming an outcast as some parents decide not to bless the union.
The factors responsible for the worrisome trend can be summarized below.
1.Religion/ethnic preference.
2.Physical qualities/features
3.Extreme preference for the affluent
4.social/financial status
5.Being the choser instead of being the chosen

RELIGION/ETHNIC PREFFERENCE
Our country is one of the most multi ethnic and ethno-centric clines that exist globally. Giving a daughter out in marriage to another ethnic nationality is assumed to be a vanquishing exercise especially when the tribe in question is seen to be a competitor in terms of size,population or resource allocation .
Since parental consent remains a major deciding factor in marriages,such intending couples are left with little or no option than to break the relationship.
Religious affiliation is also a major deciding factor when considering a suitor as it is believed that the wife automatically converts to her husband’s religion after marriage; moreover there will always be a conflict of interests, ideals and beliefs in inter religious marriages.
PHYSICAL QUALITIES/ATRIBUTES
Researchers have proven that 90% of women have a strong mental picture of the physique, and stature of the kind of man they are willing to take as a partner; in some extreme situations,some women won’t even give any attention to love advances from men who do not fit into this mental picture. Such mentality becomes a huge disservice to the lady if after some years the “prince charming” does not come her way because the chances of the rejected men coming back are very slim.
EXTREME DESIRE FOR AFFLUENCE
While it is necessary for the man to provide a reasonable level of comfort in readiness for family life,it goes without saying that holywood/nolywood has made certain level of affluence a standard for most women seeking for suitors. What most of them fail to realize is that these plush houses and expensive cars are primarily not owned by the actors, but also,it took the owners a number of years before acquiring such status assets, and majority of which was after years of marriage. Few young men can boast of such opulence and ironically most of those few are already taken(married).

SOCIAL/FINANCIAL STATUS OF THE WOMAN
Women who have risen to a significant level in career and social status are naturally inclined to desire partners from the same circle and as is the case in the last paragraph they have just a handful of men to compete for with wives and girlfriend/concubines. Taking their age into consideration,such men would only want to have a bite of the cherry and move on with their lives. By the time menopause is peeping around the corner and also when desperation starts to set in,most of the ladies end up chosing the option of single motherhood which is another alarming trend in our society today.

BEING THE CHOSER INSTEAD OF BEING THE CHOSEN
Another factor is that the 21st century woman wants to be the one to take the initiative in relationships a situation which most men find emasculating.
Most of them are financially independent,and with that comes the tendency to want more control and influence in the home.
