solomto: May God deliver this lady from bad friends like you. Sell her car to get a man? Are you insane? Abeg 120k per month is chicken feed. What kind of men is she meeting to be intimidated by such a meager sum? |

this whole thing reminds me of someone i know, who used to wear a wedding ring in her university days just to scare men away. She actually succeeded in scaring some and turning down the rest. Now she is nearing 35 (yeah you read right) and she is desperately desperate in a desperate manner that she lets the men come to her house and even have sex with her in her own house (this lady didn't tell us whether she does that too) and what they do after that is runaway. Funny enough, like this other lady, she is well to do only that she doesn't drive a car ( for the same reason). The reason i am saying this is that it is a typical africa thing that about 60-80% of african men will prefer to marry a lady that they can give a present to and feel like they actually gave her something she appreciates. Not one they feel already has things better than the one they just gave her. they also believe that she will be difficult to contrally if not totally independent. I don't think she needs to loose any of her valuables (though it might be neccesary) to get any of these men. She should just look for men in her class and lose the desperado in her. Like someone said earlier, no man will want a desperate woman no matter how confortable she is. She just needs to take things a little more easy otherwise she is going to be nothing but ready red meat for a whole lot of bad guys out there. (just writing out my mind - take no offences anyone) |

upendo 98: You talk like a child you are. At 18 what are you searching for self. The poster has giving her friend the best advice. You don't seem to see any connection between the car and marriage because you are looking with a baby eye. You are also a girl and you cannot tell what goes on the mind or real men. I will advice you to face your studies and stop wasting your time in this section of Niraland, it is not for small children like you. |

@Poster, first of all I think it has to do with the city she resides. From your post, I'm almost sure it is somewhere in the south East, most likely Aba or Onitsha; I'm dead sure about this one. Many unenlightened (those money miss road traders) Igbo men would prefer a woman that will be entirely dependent on them, worship them and do whatever they say, you get my flow. That's why they withdraw when they see a woman that can hold her own. 120k may not be a lot but add that to her presumably comfortable family background then she may be living like she earns 500k. Another thing may be her age. Those traders prefer to marry at 35 and to a girl who is not above 22. Thirdly, it may be that they feel they (suitors) won't have the financial muscle to take care of her, that what they can offer her won't really impress her and that may mean they not being in total control of her life. Tell your friend to look in the professional circle, outside her city, let the ever present match making family members know of her desperation, and I think she will be fine. By the way, how does one quote on this forum? |

i smell something fishy here, how come the bank gave her a car and she is just earning a miserable 120K, leaves in a 3-bedroom apartment. maybe she didnt tell you her actual monthly earning. becoz for the bank to have given her a car, that means she is a high flyer in her department, therefore, the car should also come with promotion which translates to a fatter income. 120K is below the start-up salary of a banker in today's banks unless the bank in question is a micro-finance bank bcoz i have a frend that just landed a job in a new gen' bank, her salary as a beginner is 180K gross. and as per the apartment, somebody earning 120K cannot inhabit a 3-bedroom flat in a decent part of the city(lagos), where i stay. maybe the lady stays in a place like Aba, Onitsha or Enugu. meanwhile am still open to hearing this lady's side of the story. plz tell us the truth. |

@Poster, I think behind 90% of every successful lady of that status is one powerful married CEO/MD man or married Abuja-Pot-Belly Senator man or Oil Tycoon dude somewhere who put her in that position or status. If a guy marries her today, he will end up being a figure head in d family cos the lady will most likely always fall or submit to the main man behind the scene of her success for some bleeping and other goodies. I have seen that happen everyday. That is just one main reason a sensible guy will always run away from such ladies or better still eat her money and drive her cars to scrap before he finally dump her. |

First did you say am 18 and a baby?? oh pliz ok I wont comment on that.Always read btw the LINES before u pass judgement By me saying am 81 let alone 18 as u hurriedly claimed.,Am trying to make her see that 28 is not very old since some women older are still on the field Now you dont even know my age at all. sorry. Another thing, are you saying the best advise is for her to SELL HER CAR so that she can get a man ?? Get real. Cant you even see what some REAL men are talking about here? Seriously evrybody here makes sense except . Finally oops soryy I dont stoop low to the point of insult.I am way too mature for that. Just asking are you like the NL chief whip or something??

ikoha: I love your analytically mind here. For sure this bank lady must be living in either Aba or Onitcha but mostly likely Onitcha. I doubt if she is actually earning peanut like 120k. I guess she earn up to 300k plus her parents money otherwise, like I said before there is a Sugar Daddy somewhere and these guys running away might have found out. |
Re: Why Do Bachelors Avoids Financially Comfortable Spinsters.? by chijike(m): 7:20pm On Jun 13, 2011 |

my mum actually believes a spinster shouldn't drive so as not to scare guys. But, to me I don't believe that. I'm even getting a car soon. A good man will love you for who you are, irrespective. |
Re: Why Do Bachelors Avoids Financially Comfortable Spinsters.? by jonced(m): 7:30pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
@OP The story does not add up. If she actually earns 120k, she cant maintain the lifestyle potrayed. Either she earns a lot more than that or she has a financier hidden somewhere. I guess the other men think so too and r bailing out. She needs to convince the guys she meets that there is nothing odd about her lifestyle. Goodluck |

This is quite the expected trend really, and its one of the many reasons why ladies try to marry early. The primary issues usually are:- She's giving of some 'desperate' vibes - this turns off the confident and great guys She's seems well to do - this would 'turn off' the insecure ones. Don't rule out the fact that some are just interested in @&^%ing, as guys will always be guys except when bornagain or impotent which ever comes last. Now, I'm a little older than her (you mentioned she's 28) and single, and usually I only find myself attracted to the above 27 yrs old and somewhat comfortable (sometimes with pay cheques as high as (and even higher than) 5M p.a. So I guess its different strokes/different folks. I'm somewhat comfortable myself, though I cant really say how I would feel around a financially comfortable lady if i wasn't so myself. There's just something about a sophisticated yet simple lady that i find very attractive, and most comfortable ladies seem to possess that attribute. So what is my point? Let her keep searching and remain prayerful (incase spiritual dey the matter). And she should also sincerely check her attitude and expectations. No self deceit here. |

Maybe it's not her financial status, maybe it's her face they avoid! |
Re: Why Do Bachelors Avoids Financially Comfortable Spinsters.? by swiftycool(m): 7:44pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
when a respectable lady banker reduces to the level of chasing low level OMATTA guys yet still gets played & dumped? I guess its cos she doesnt kno her worth. I believe any lady should attract a like class and level in a mate except if she has a complex that makes her less attractive to her kind. From experience, to most classy guys, a lady who has been labelled the toast of illiterate traders is already devalued and would b less attractive to d guys of her own class or higher status, Especially in Naija |

solomto: @OP, your friend should open up to you and tell you the truth. maybe she has a bad character as most ladies of substance in this present day do. |
Re: Why Do Bachelors Avoids Financially Comfortable Spinsters.? by Genius100: 7:49pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
Her inability to get a man has absolutely nothing to do with her being financially comfortable. My guess is that it is due to some kind of character flaw or lack of good looks, |
