A lot of men at 38 sef don't feel it much, especially when his mates gist him about the horrors they go through in their own marriages

The truth is that marriage to a large extent not worth it to the man here .
the wahala is too much

40 is too old sef. Just hit 29 and see the pressure. You people need to face the reality, when you log off NL you know what’s good in your hood. You can marry at 60 but is that ideal? When your children are 12 you’ll be on your death bed. Commot jare.
my dear am in my late 20s and I don't remember anyone telling me to go marry. Got a good paying job and I have lots of girls I can woo if I wish. Lots but no pressure.

some of my colleagues who are 5 years younger and many who are older and much much older are already in panick mode and am just using them to play always grin grin grin

keep quiet.

Do you know your mom before she married? except she is over 45 or 50 then I can classify her as old school moms and even at that they still had hoes during their time.

My brother, our older mother's didn't have the opportunity like this generation, if they had they probably will be like our generation. Nothing special. Its human thing. undecided
When you mention opportunity, I wonder what you mean by that? Opportunity to do what exactly?

you are not exempt from pressure, final. Being 48 and single is not an advantage to you. Accept it and move on.

shocked

i cant accept it and move on. Final!

Being 48 and single is very advantagious to a man if he get the following: money, sex, kids.

As for the criticism that would come from parents, friends and well wishers, the man would simply travel to another country and only come back once in a year. Simple and short! Trust me, as a man, i really enjoy being single. I love it like women love money.

When you count the number of unhappy marriages ...
When you count the number of divorces...
When you witness the humiliation and spousal abuse both parties go through...
when you witness spousal infidelity...
When you consider the unrealistic demands of women...
When you realize 'most hoes a'int faithful'....
When you come to know that sex is cheap and abundant in our time...
When you consider the bad economy.....

You will be afraid of marriage too OP

That brings us to another question...

Why do people only see and use the negative to make decisions?

Man is a product of his environment and not the other way around.

Our environment and opportunity shape us to a larger extent.

Our mothers grew up in the village so their mentality and exposure didn't give them room to see unfaithfulness and inequality as bad so many stayed in abusive and unfaithful relationship because that's what their mothers and their mother's mothers thought them, that was the norm.

These days "civilization" is being installed in our younger generation hence the change in characteristics.

Get my point huh.

just hving fun!! Hving fun like men do!! B4 a lady is 23 the pressure has began!!! .. While The parent of a male child is setting up his future!!! B4 u get to 300l self as a woman, u r ripe for marriage!!!( U won't get it, u r not a lady) U think ladies won't like hving random sex too n being players!! But we can't cause the society has conditioned us

@1st embolden: Sometimes I laugh when I see ladies on social media hide behind "Societal pressure" as the reason behind their marriage desperation, society isn't the reason behind it, don't blame the society, you ladies are the reason and responsible for your desperation, nature has placed it for women's body to depreciate as they gets older, hence their desperation for marriage, because they no man will want to marry a woman who's her body isn't intact and fresh.

@2nd embolden: According to the mentality of Nigerian women, a man should be the provider in a home in all ramification, so I see no wrong in an early preparation of a man's future ....(I didn't dispute the fact that woman shouldn't set their future)

@3rd embolden, women have random sex more than men.

Marriage is as fake as a China phone. Man is naturally not meant for one lady and a lady is created to be a cheat even if she's a pastor's or imam's daughter.

So forcing those two together forever is a ticking time bomb. Some bombs don't explode so soon until death helps out just like some of our parents but others do.

Whenever I think about marriage or the thought that someday, I will be expected to marry a woman and begin procreating, my guts constrict, I feel like taking a shit, my heart explodes with palpable dread, a warm sensation of fear spreads from my head down to my heels. My fight or flight instincts become triggered. My primal instincts take charge of me and I just want to eliminate whatever threats, seen or unseen, that threaten my wellbeing: such as marriage.

Why do I feel this way? It is because I do not want to trade my freedom for anything, not just yet.

They say--that is society says--that marriage is a good thing, but I am not convinced I want this good thing for myself, at least until I am forty years old. What is the essence of life? Isn't life meant to be explored and enjoyed, and wouldn't the lack of dependants or people who have legally binding claims upon my time impede how time I can allocate to myself?

Marriage is overrated, it is a social construct that has neared the end of its universal usefulness.

I am not anti-marriage, but I don't give a rat's ass if I die a bachelor. A person can only suffer in old age if they did not save up enough money for nursing/geriatric care. The era of people being sick with worry because you do not want to suffer in your old age has gone past, gone to a watery grave where it would never see the light of day; this is most especially true of my generation.

Safiaa, you said a person who is 38 and unmarried would not have people to hangout with. I think, and I could be wrong, that your reasoning is flawed. Lots of young men in the 1985-1995 generation are decidedly anti-marriage. Even if they do get to marry sometime in their forties, the social environment would have changed so much in the coming years that it would no longer be a stigma to be unmarried.

Safiaa, your thinking is conservative, way too conservative as to allow room for liberal thoughts and life patterns. The last three generations that judged unmarried people as irresponsible will largely not be here in the next thirty years. And it is even more troubling that you think a person, on account of their marital status, will not have friends. What happened to work? What happened to them owning companies or clubs or associations or being members of clubs, groups, meetups? The world is changing and to be honest, I shriveled inside a little bit when I read that. It is both sad and depressing at the same time.

Hello Nairalanders!

Let me put this clear, men are afraid of marriage not because of the money involved but for the multiple sum of expenses that will be enrolled on him on the long run & fear of instability in once business.

we know that its wrong for us to have kids without getting married, and that is the reason why most of us get married- simply because its wrong not to. Some pple can live above this guilt and still be happy. Most pple are already doing it. A time will come when it would be very normal for a man to just have kids without having a wife.

As much as nairalanders fail me sometimes when I expect reasonable responses to issues. There are still some posts I see where some posters manage to do so.

Hoping I see such posts tonight, thread started on point with such posts giving reasonable answers before the "all women are this and that gang" came out and tried to veer the thread off track.

I'm trying to get them to stop.
Head to that site for lonely,frustrated and fat women -bellanaija and see how your fellow women "roast men". I'm sure you have done same too in time past-men are this and that. So I wonder why you are having issues with men in here baring out their minds.

Man creates his environment and could well influence what he has created and not the other way round.
The point of being in abusive relationship abounds today more than in the past! girls simply stick to the relationship because of material gains etc. Your points aren't viable reasons for the great behavioral decadence among the ladies.
I'm just myself hustling till when I finally succeed, I will just buy a wife in Nigeria if I can't marry a non Nigerian.
* forgive my choice of word "buy" I think that completely captures my state of mind at the moment.

MrBrownJay1:


but the problem here is...
A) if a man does NOT want to get married, then that should be the end of the discussion
B) it can NEVER be the end of discussion because this is not about men, but it is solely about WOMEN (and their body clock) who are the ones desperate to find a mate (at any cost) and who would therefore see men unwilling to get married as an abomination (but hey, who will marry them single babes if baby mamas are willing to settle with men unmarried?!?)
C) you are trying to scare this man by telling him about what "may" happen in a few yrs.....while we all know that this aint true.
D) but even if it was true, the way women are desperate to get married these days, ANY man of ANY age, with the right economic status (aka a good job/house/pocket money), can find 10 women to marry, on ANY given day of the week, in Nigeria.

so the important question would be: why the rush for marriage?!

Someone please tell me y when most girls hustle and get married, they still went and cheat with their ex that refused to marry them or the ex they couldn't wait for.

Why the hassle to marry then?
