the biggest mistake in my opinion is to even consider marriage

Guys should know that you will enjoy your life far better when you are single than when married.
Being single affords you the luxury of:
-developing new skills
-saving a chunk of what you earn
-it affords you the opportunity to travel more.
-you will age slower(due to less stress)
Etc
The benefits of single life for a man far outweighs the pros of being married.
We men are doing Women a HUGE!! favor by marrying them.

guys, don't let any lady sell you the idea that marriage benefits you.. it's a scam!!
Marriage benefits Women not men!!
Hoard your ring!!

TheArchangel:
After ranting, they will still end up getting married and will continue the rants.

Women gains nothing from marriage.


Marriage strips a woman everything she has... Her name, family, friends, preference even careers.

Next life, maybe a sperm bank will do the honors.

Obierika:
As a single guy in Nigeria who is about to select a wife the biggest mistake you could possibly make right now is to marry a lady who is either not working or is not earning any sort of income.

Do not ignore this warning if you plan to get married soon!

Naija246:
bro I'm just spilling red pill truths for my brother's oo
I hope they listen.
We men should seriously start questioning alot of thing's the society implicitly expects from us.

Marriage restricts a man's potential and freedom.
Have you ever noticed that the most productive time in a man's life is when he is still single.
Look at great inventor's from Nikola Tesla to Faraday, they all peaked when single.

So your wife will only be submissive to you as long as the money keeps flowing;is that the kind of submission you want? i.e. "transactional submission"

The way some of you guys reason ehnn

sinola:
It is only when you are poor or maybe on average salary. If you are made, that shouldn't be a problem. In short, you'll even enjoy your marriage well since she will be totally submissive to you.
My opinion though.

There r some doors n opportunities that will not open until you r married. I have come across some business opportunities that don't go to unmarried folks. They r afraid to bring you in because they don't trust you as a single person, meaning you can sabotage n even runaway with something valuable when the opportunity appear. A friend was denied a particular job opportunity simply because he was not married at that age. They told him face to face that at his age he is not married, they did not employ him because they felt he is not a responsible person. When you have a family our society look at you with a particular level of trust than a single person.

Studies show married men are happier and live longer than their single/divorced/widowed counterparts. Single/Widowed/Divorced men are more depressed and suicidal than their married counterparts.

On the other hand, studies show that Single women live longer than their married counterparts, they also retain their figures and beauty longer than their married counterparts.

These studies show that the main benefactors of marriage is the Men. Make of that what you want!!!

oh bish, I didn't know my comment struck a nerve ....but who cares anyways

One of the guys here said,the worst is to marry Nigerian women...I just laugh!

Am not joking,Nigerian women are trained to tolerate shit from men and that is why men like that fellow could spew out his frustration.
Our women are the best in Africa...they love u even when u know no one cares.

Make una remain single and to all those who believe in marriage,do not despair,that what God has framed for humanity, shall not derail because of civilization.
Old age is real and can be devastating if not well planned,specifically,I am talking to all those who prefer to be single for life, u might be towing the wrong path. Is it the child u didn't nurture or emotionally contributed to his life that would be there for u at old age abi what are ur plans.

Let us be careful what we chose to represent in life because,although time shall reveal our outcome in life.

comradeMOSHOOD:
it is a man's responsibility to take care of his family. it's not a mistake to marry a woman that is not working. don't run away from your responsibilities brothers
honest opinion though

Eulalia:



Tell them.
They know they can't do without us no matter what they say. The smart ones are Manning up and getting married and today they happy and fulfilled at least to some extent. while the weak ones are wailing here but still feel empty and depressed cos no woman to make them complete and the fear of the unknown has robbed them of this wonderful experience..

mhizv:
Marriage isn't child's play. If you're not mentally prepared you'd have problems.

Both parties have to contribute,to making the home work. Both financially,and other wise
I advise all my make friends to marry a woman with a job or one with a business.

Marry a woman that can carry the home when you're at your lowest!
Marry a woman that respects you enough,and wants the best for you
One that wants you to achieve more than you already have.
One with ideas,and you can turn to anytime and you're sure she'd deliver.

Personally I feel a woman without a source of income has no business getting married(unless you and your husband agree to it)

Depending on your husband for literally everything possible isn't something I'd want to do.

I love you I love you isn't enough to sustain a marriage my own piece anyway

You are on point. I am in the shoe though we are not married but i do her virtually every thing the moment I slack it turns insult. I want to backout.

Married men and mortality
A major survey of 127,545 American adults found that married men are healthier than men who were never married or whose marriages ended in divorce or widowhood. Men who have marital partners also live longer than men without spouses; men who marry after age 25 get more protection than those who tie the knot at a younger age, and the longer a man stays married, the greater his survival advantage over his unmarried peers. But is marriage itself responsible for better health and longer life?

Although it's hard to be sure, marriage seems to deserve at least part of the credit. Some have argued that self-selection would skew the results if healthy men are more likely to marry than men with health problems. But research shows the reverse is true: unhealthy men actually marry earlier, are less likely to divorce, and are more likely to remarry following divorce or bereavement than healthy men.

Another potential factor is loneliness; is the institution of marriage linked to better health, or is it simply a question of living with another person? Although studies vary, the answer seems to be a little of both. People living with unmarried partners tend to fare better than those living alone, but men living with their wives have the best health of all.

Numerous studies conducted over the past 150 years suggest that marriage is good for health. More recently, scientists have begun to understand why married men enjoy better health than their single, divorced, and widowed peers. But before we turn to the why, let's look at how marriage affects specific diseases, including America's leading killers, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

The biggest mistake is to marry any woman at all.

As a man, can you tell me exactly what you benefit from marriage that you can't benefit as a single guy. Tell me.

110%

I have done it for 20 years.......I'm looking younger all the time!

Mike008:



Both parties are equal beneficiaries but a loser is that man that marries a woman who is not working or simply put a woman that cannot support the man financially according to the writer.
"Long life", figure 8 and beauty are not a thing compared to lasting happiness a good marriage can bring. Those elements are very negligible to the overall value and purpose of life.
So your studies (if at all true) are of little importance and do not apply.

A man shouldn't assume 100% responsibility, and a woman should not feel entitled is the Crux of the matter.

Headlesschicken:
Real talk, cos at the end of the day her big ass or beauty or whatever the phuck else it was that made u marry her won't bring food to yuh table...

"afford a woman"......... Thanks for Publicly admitting that women are commodities that can be bought and sold...and abused too. cause hey, I have a right to use what I paid money for anyhow I see fit

7thLemonLOVER:
