"Why pay for a cow when milk is publicly available for free"?

pansophist:


If I would define marriage in a few words, I would say that '

'Marriage is an institution where two individual ties the rope of their existence together, to alleviate the suffering of life.

The idea that people should not get married because they earn whatever amount is flawed, though, I can understand the line of thinking it is coming from. It is easy for two people to live on sixty thousand nairas for example (each spouse earning thirty thousand naira), than for one person to live alone with thirty thousand. Because the same room that one person will live in, can accommodate two people, food will not be wasted, and you have someone to count on, free necessary labour (such as domestic duties, errands) =, and many more that is hardly achieved by one person.

The idea that one has to make a lot of money to settle down is good, but what about losing your wealth after marriage, what will become of such a couple? What if they both encounter life difficulties such as sickness, losing mobility, and more? such formula is not sustainable. The will to be a good partner is superior to the will to have lots of money.

A wife has so much more to offer than just sex

So that analogy sometimes is not always accurate

I hv never seen a jobless man having true love. Everything is bore to financial stability before thinking of a marriage.

So much more like what? Sex and progeny aside, a man can pretty much end up much better on his own. Don't tell me you believe all that rot about women being behind every successful man? Be aise that is patently untrue. Many of the best success stories are glaringly by men devoid of the distraction of women in their lives. If you look at the lives of billionaires and founders like Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Colonel Sanders, Steve Jobs, Elon musk, Warren Buffet, even our own Aliko Dangote, a common thread seems to be their disregard for women and relationships. They were all either single, divorced, or in extremely free marriages when they made their wealth and marry and discard at will afterwards. I spend much time reading about the lives of successful, self made people and if there is a common thread that runs through their personal lives, it's their total lack of regard for commitment and female attention. In not a single case does the wife emerge from the background to dominate their lives; as in the case of people like Barrack Obama for example, who achieved political success, but is more or less a washout in the corporate and business world.

You don't have to believe me, look it up.

And for every woman you see employed, there is equal amount of men displaced for her to get the job.
So where will these men go? Create jobs and money out of thin air? Because they are spirits?

Like I said
A wife has so much to offer than just sex
Personally I'm not so crazed about marriage or whatever

But I'm sensible enough to know
That a wife has much more to offer than just sex.

If one wants to stay away from the entanglement of women
That's fine
No one should shame him for that
But its foolhardy to believe that a wife has so little to offer
(Wife material anyways, not some ot these women we have causing problems out there )

And what you said about Obama is also not very accurate
He was successful in his own right as a lawyer AND a politician)
I have dissected that mans life
And I have nothing but admiration and respect for him
How he runs his family
How he treats people
And how he ran the country

The truth is bitter regardless of however you want to sugarcoat it..

This However goes both ways cus a good wife is also hard to find..

That being said.. Most males are now realizing that honestly apart from procreation.. There's really no advantage in marriage..

Incase y'all don't know Males are polygamous in nature due to their high testosterone levels.. And even in lower animals a male is considered successful when not only does he beat the odds to survive to adulthood but also pass on his genes to offsprings..

But Because of human beings higher intellectual capacity.. We have deduced a principle called love which really doesn't exist.. No matter what relationship you have with another gender, both sexes are benefiting in one way or the other from such relationship.. We are naturally SELFISH!!!

In the next century, I can bet you that marriage will look so alien.. We are all getting wiser every day to our detriment but also to our good but unfortunately some of our societal norms will get eroded and this has nothing do with the world is ending or the whites are colonizing our culture..

It's because as a human being we keep growing in knowledge everyday..

Feminism, Masculinism, Misandry, Misogyny, Homosexuality will dominate in the next 50 years from now...

Yet your clueless government pegged minimum wage at #30 000 which they are still fighting against it's implementation.


Let's face reality. How many men earn above #40 000 monthly in Nigeria?

Love your comment!

It is said that when a man repeats a phrase twice, he is unsure of what he's saying. You repeated "a wife has so much to offer than sex" three times, and not once did you deign to give one little example of what that is.

Obama was a wuss; even as POTUS. He regularly drew red lines that everyone ignored. He built nothing and achieved nothing in his private life. The only reason you admire him is because the leftist US media pushed him as some socialist hero. And he didn't run his family; Michelle does. Trump on the other hand, was and is, a successful businessman. No wuss achieves such a status. It takes grit and balls, and the ability to focus your brain power on your path.

even the milk is no longer free

make I hear word abeg!
Trump has more balls than Obama.
Obama is a simp, a pushover and a spineless man.
The guy caused more wars than most US presidents before him.

Trump is a failed businessman
Failed at every business he put his hand in

Filed for bankruptcy many times
Ran america aground with his reckless 2017 tax cuts
Put American long standing goodwill at jeopardy

Has ZERO RESPECT for women
And the list goes on...
Is this a man that you and your fellow "red pillers" and "Alfa males" look up to ?

A known coward who dodged draft with lies (does Bone spurs ring a bell)
Abeg abeg

Leave Trump
That one is a failed fellow
If you talk of Nikola, Dangote, and other men like that who are actually successful at what they did

Yea that makes sense
But Trump
Knowing his antecedents does not fit the bill

RisenPhoenix1:


Trump is a Forbes acknowledged USD billionaire. If that is an unsuccessful businessman, I wonder what you would consider as successful. Filing for bankruptcy does not make one a failed businessman. There are many business savvy reasons to file for bankruptcy. Even Henry Ford has filed for bankruptcy at one time. Ask yourself, if he sucked so much at business, how come he is worth billions today when he filed for bankruptcy 'many times'?

As for Trump running the US aground, you will recall that your adored Obama added much more to the national debt, and he never had a congress-imposed $2 trillion Covid-19 stimulus on his back; nor a total shutdown to deal with. The US economy was booming under trump...until Covid 19 happened. And the crippling shutdown along with the riots; were entirely the brainchild of the democrats and their nagging media. They were engineered to bring the economy down. Obama never had to deal with economic saboteurs in his own country.

He's not a doormat for women, yes. If you translate that as zero respect for women, then so be it. He was married to three beautiful women; all either actresses or models, and two of whom were much younger; despite his so called lack of respect. How many beautiful younger models do respectful men get to marry?

Apparently being a reasonable man is the definition of being a "wuss" and a "weakling " to many of you

And being brash, disrespectful and reckless is the definition of being a MAN.

1) Respecting women does not make you a door mat
Worshipping women and having no respect for yourself makes a doormat
There is a difference
Some people mix up both
But they are not the same

Marrying someone like Melania Trump says a lot about Trumps character

Cheating on your first wife with the second
Cheating on the second wife with the third
And then sleeping with a porn star while your third wife was pregnant

Is this the kind of man you red pillars look up to as the ideal role model?
That would be very unfortunate

madridsta007:


Marriages and economic growth are directly proportional, especially in Conservative African societies.
The more middle-class growth, the more marriages.
Low middle-class growth, less marriages.
This should be very simple.

Let me break it down:

The Middle-Class man, lets say a pilot, gets married and employs a Night-Guard to guard his house. The Night-Guard makes some money from that employment and then marries. More marriages means, more jobs for photographers, event planners, etc. These guys make money and then marries.... Friendships that lead to marriages are formed in a wedding. Everything stems from that middle-class population. Reduce it, as Buhari, Tinubu and APC has done and you will gradually affect marriages. That is why I pity women who think their problem is spiritual. Most times, it isnt. Again, follow the economics.

In Nigeria's North, more insecurity and instability means less marriage. The bachelor is thinking about surviving and staying alive than marriage. There are many research studies that links low marriage rate to the existence of civil unrest, wars, etc.

I'm very surprised that people were voting for Buhari's Change in 2015 and Next Level in 2019 and were not thinking that the economic recession he came with wont affect your chances of marriages. Africans can be very foolish.
The man you want to marry is thinking about surviving economically and not being a burden to a woman and her people.
Again, this is common sense.
