You dey give your hope. Since your life is so wonderful, then while waiting for a man you'll become a liability and parasite to? Are you okay? What exactly can you offer that man in a relationship apart from your over used pussy? Sense fall on you there. No man wants a liability and a parasite. You better get rid of this entitlement mentality of yours.


I remembered those days that they used to say that marriage is not for boys, but nowadays, even men aren't finding it funny at all.

A lot of men grew up not having female attention, so even as they grow older the knack to be succesfull and make something for themsleves financially is almost more rewarding than a relationship

Most relationship are too transactonal (ie. What are you going to give me so as to get my attention)

It's too expensive, every girl out there wants something shoe, phone, impromtu favours and all these are financied by $$$, as a man you are put in a demasculating position if you don't grant these favours to these women are the snap of a finger, and when you decide to weigh the options, such financial resources channelled into such wasteful expeditions.

Most women are boring, if you pay attention to men or you are fortunate to be in men's spaces, we like to talk about different things that affect us an society, a Nigerian woman on the other hand would only engage you only if she likes you, and only if she likes the topic being discussed. if you observe with keen intrest at how much relationships takes shape, it starts with a simple "Hi and Hello" but most modern day women want to fall in love with you at once and don't want to invest in a relationship.

A lot of women lack the ability to be able to pair bond with a man becuase they have an abundance mindset that the men would chase them forever and even when they have a stable relationshp, they would still have one eye and one eye out as if there is always something better out there. Truth is that there is always someone who would be richer, better and prettier than our current partner, but commitment is key.

Men too have standards: A lot of women growing up told us we were broke and worthless as to why we can't talk to them. Few years later the men have built themsleves and now have standard on not wanting to be with poor women. Today's high value men dont want women who just only bring beauty to the table, men now want women who can work pay their own bill and be financially stable. On clubhouse i have heard a situation where a Nigerian bloke in the diaspora said he can't be with a woman in the diaspora who made $50k not because of the money but the mindset.


Pornography: More and more men are watching porn and masturbating more and men who do that don't have this urge to flirt with women like that....

LGBT has also take it's fair share from both sexes on men who should in a stable romantic relationship.


A lot us men grew up with faulty idelogies that just told us make the money and the girls would flock around you, while i very much fault this mentality, it make it looks as if you are buying someone for the sake of the money which kills the purpose of romance.

A lot of us don't know how to date, we were never just thought how to.

Mainstream media is not real life, the Meida would try to project this happily ever after always happy no fault type of relationship which means anything outside the confines of that is bad and toxic. People are almost not allowed to bicker over things in their relationship with the hope to iron it out, your female friends would glee and cheer you up to jilt and kill your realtionship But the truth is real relationship requires lots of forgivness.

The economy: Having a two parent hosuehold in todays world cost a lot of $$$ and the women want to rescind to the old world order where they sat home looking pretty while the men went out and brought home the bacon.

They don't want to be responsible
not entirely true.
A lot of men spend so much time trying to make money because no one wants their family to suffer while time is going,
also when men spend so much time with other single men for so long, they love the free life,
getting sex from random girls or prostitutes, they are satisfied.
lastly, the bad news they hear from married people, they wonder if it is worth it, they don't want to go through the same thing.

So what is the way forward for men?
Should men focus solely on amassing wealth and jettison emotions & intimate relationships...
I think we all should pray for good partners because I believe in as much as there are tons of bad eggs... there's also good ones regardless of how social media or whatever depicts it.
Let's try and make our relationships work even if we see & hear otherwise in today's world.. it takes maturity & understanding.

Werey. There's a massive difference between responsibility and burden. Instead of blaming all men, why can't you deal with yourself and get a life. Make yourself responsible and leave the men alone, coz a man is supposed to be responsible for his own actions not to be responsible to a liability.

The responsibilies in marriage is damn heavy and very expensive. Sadly, nowadays ladies aren't helping matters with what they are earning, some of them are even idle(no job) and have become liability to guys. I guess guys are trying to avoid a senerio like this.

Lol... When guys don't want to settle down, they're said to be losing interest. When a ladies don't want to settle down, they're simply olosho. In both cases, only one gender takes the blame as usual. Many will say they're fleeing from liabilities (a convenient term for 'responsibilities') but our fathers still got married even when women weren't even expected to do anything other than take care of the home. So what excuse does this generation have?

The truth is, regardless of the term we use to refer to it, people are beginning to realize that marriage, as beautiful as it is, is not necessarily a do-or-die affair like society paints it. It could be argued to be some sort of irresponsibility but even that would be debatable. This change isn't gender specific. It might be more apparent with men cause we seem to have the financial power and the ability to easily pull that off without judgement. But some women would rather be baby mamas too.

Our father's era and now aren't the same. Women of our time are completely different. The other day, a guy said a lady blocked him online immediately he told her that he was a teacher.

I think it's your circle or environment. For instance, almost every girl/lady I know is getting married. The ones who aren't married are either in a committed relationship or have many admirers. BTW, these ladies aren't dating or marrying fellow females but men. Also, it depends on your age group. That's, if you are in your 30s or move with men who are in their 30s, you will certainly get wedding invitations here and there.

When I read people rant (at this point, it's all rants) about folks not marrying, I laugh as it's largely your environment or peer group. Nigerians are largely conservative people who will always desire to marry regardless of what woke culture or social media spew.

Mehn! What a life! And to even find a financially supportive lady is damn hard. The other day, a guy said in his thread here that, the moment he told a lady he was wooing online that he was a School teacher, the lady blocked him immediately.

But we are not going not give up. The men who would show themselves responsible would become the lifeline for our species in years to come. Humanity survived because of stability and if we throw that stability away, our survival would become problematic.

It'll take time bro and moreso, good ladies are scarce today but when you encounter one, you would know.
