Counter Thread : Why He is Afraid to Marry and settle down by TheOldGods: 4:16pm On May 17, 2023
this is a counter thread to the on on Front page
where the guy is saying he is scared to get married because his girlfriend visits other male friends https://www.nairaland.com/7685214/why-im-scared-get-married

Before I go ahead, I would like to give a few examples using physical products and then make the counter.

If you love a car, and you go to a car stand, the seller tells you the car is 1 million. You agree to buy, then you tell the seller that you will come in two months time or in a year time, then the seller asks you to make a commitment of atleast 500k to be sure and secure it, you say no and go away. Then you come another day and see someone else inspecting the car, opening the doors. You rush to the seller and tell him that you told him to keep the car. Then he reminds you that you never made any commitment to that car, he can't trust you and can't wait for you. You get angry and ditch the car and the seller. You repeat the same with another seller. It goes on and on like that. Then you conclude that all sellers are evil.

This small explanation is the same that happens to us in Relationships. The op claimed he is interested in the girl, but has never made any commitment to this girl to prove to her that he is serious. First he never, engaged the girl which is the first commitment, secondly, after the engagement he could take it further by visiting the parents and do what we call "knocking at the door" you only need to buy wine, and wrapper for the mother. And let them know you are the one marrying their child. Now this way, you have made 2 commitments. No girl in her right sense would mess up and go ahead to visit another guy at her home. for an open place we could accept that just a little depending on what the purpose of the meeting was. If it's to catch up for old times, then he'll no, he can come to the house and meet the both of them.

We all know that women's peak is between 18-29, why would a lady want to stick with a man who has not shown commitments towards her, you want her not to visit other men, you have no morale grounds to ditch her or even be angry.

Let's be honest,"Bf/Gf/Relationship" words normally used to describe two love birds is simply "friends with benefits". Let's us call a spade a spade. There is nothing like bf, gf. Every guy is your bf, as he is a boy, and a friend. Now if you are trying to define a person you love you say, Your friend with benefit or a companion. Both of you are only having sex, bf or gf is not recognised by the law, society, your parents your pastors etc. They only recognise husband and wife and not even fiancé.

The op is simply a toxic fellow at 35-39 looking for a girl he can cage for his sexual gratification without any commitment.

I rest my case.

The simple solution is to break up with the guy and move on. Once you realise he is a padlock bf or gf, simply move on.

The OP is 35, he has been chopping amd cleaning mouth. Now the lady who I am sure is a young one, wants to chop him too and clean mouth... he is crying. Men do not realise this life is turn by turn. You are 35, stop deceiving yourselves that every U26 girl out there wants to be saddled with a grown ass man and kids. So I wonder who told him she wants to marry him. Find another one that is at the same stage with you. Two of una done retire and can use yourselves as pension.

Well written.

There are lots of undefined relationships out there. When people say they are in a relationship the first question that crosses my mind is "ship to where". You see lots of people dating without a purpose while sex and money remain their only common page. Do people even know the meaning of dating? How many people are deliberate with their relationships? Do they go further to read books on relationships? No, but they are very quick to profess love, have sex, break up, cry wolf, and move on to the next.

In a purposeful relationship, there are stages. The talking stage, the dating stage, the courtship then the marriage or long-term commitment. With each stage comes its peculiarities, do's, don'ts, and expectations. But people bring the last stage to the first and accept the perfect result. The op of that other thread and his lady are on parallel lines yet they are in a relationship. Lol, You don't expect peculiarities of the courtship stage from someone who in her mind is just dating you grin

Define your relationship, make sure your partner is on the same page as you, and watch things play out.
Personally, there are some things I except of a person I court but I don't expect of just a guy I talk to especially when it comes to emotional needs. Lol I may ignore an "Okay" response to a rant from an average guy but will "enter same trousers" with a guy I'm dating if he gives the same response. 🥴

Do not expect so much from people you are not committed to. Give a woman a reason to make you "first and only" and she will make you "THE ONLY ONE" . VERY SIMPLE STUFF 🤷

OP I saw your mention earlier, and you made some valid points... it's true that some men just want to be friends with benefits with a girl without any commitment or taking the next step in the relationship... but in most cases, even when the relationship is well defined by the man and he has made his intentions known, the lady still keeps her options open and cheats on the man, sometimes even when the man has already proposed and visited his parents...

women should learn to keep their legs closed and remain a virgin, by doing this, a man won't be scared to take things forward with the lady... but most ladies are hoes and lacks qualities needed in marriage and to maintain a home, so men who are ready won't see the need to commit fully to women like this... until women learn to remain chaste, this will forever continue.. men are now becoming wiser and not settling for less...

virginity is not only a woman's thing. A man that wants to marry a virgin should keep the same energy and be a virgin. No person deserve to be second class. That statement alone is double standard

a man can marry more than one wife... so it's a woman thing.. of course I'm not saying men should fornicate, but a man can only be a virgin to the first wife and not the rest...

A more suitable analogy would be; you go to a dealership to buy a car, you try to test the car but it wouldn’t start. You then conclude the reason it wouldn’t start is because you haven’t paid for it. Your assumption is, once you pay and tow it home, it’s very likely to start functioning properly.

Are you saying married women don’t go out with other guys? Are they also keeping their options open? This is how you assume yourselves into bad marriages then start disturbing people with tales of your marital woes.

nope your analogy is wrong and can't be used in this context. Clearly the car didn't start from abinitio, what can you use to quantify the car not starting? You made no context to it.

With the entire power vested on men (religion,culture,time and biology is on their side) they are the ones always rolling in sand and wailing.
One would expect it is the vulnerable or those whom religion,culture or time is against ( divorced women,LGBT,widows, single moms, 35+ women etc) that should be wailing.

Shebi you as a man holds the power of commitment,and you have the say and decision as regards to commitment, why not you use veto power and manifest your choice of woman?

Keep allowing men to deceive you into thinking that at any age you can secure a woman of your DREAM.

Let me make it clear, only men of high value age like wine. If you are not a high value man,there is no difference between you and 35+ women as regards desirability.
