IkranDragon:Yes. Leave her. You'll frustrate the hell out of each other because the both of you have expectations which neither party is willing (or able) to meet. IkranDragon:Relationships are not games. Stay away from them if you're still a teenager. |
See fine boy. May his wife's worst fears not come to pass. May Jacob Sylvester return home to his family. Amen! |
How boys are trooping into the thread to call her unprintable names and threaten her with Shiloh and menopause.

SmartPolician:Maybe you're right. |
CHII2017:Cherish yourself first. Cherish yourself to the point you appear selfish. And continue cherishing yourself even after meeting and settling down with that man. The cherishing of self should only stop when you take your last breadth. |
Beloved03:Make I differ small. It is the "good" men who leave scars and emotional wounds because they usually betray you after passing off as reliable. When women are around playboys, they guard their hearts, but almost always lose their guard when around these so-called good men. These "decent" men are not usually obsessed about living a life of excitement, so many women tend to think that they're a safer option. But that right there is the mistake they make. Ask anyone walking around with emotional scars. 90% of the time, their trauma wasn't caused by "bad" people. They were caused by people they thought they were safe with. The betrayal will usually be deeper because it came from an unexpected source - the good man. When the good man chooses to strike, you'll never see it coming. He'll snap and chew you into pieces before you even ask, "what's going on?" "Good" men don't shy away from commitment, but that's because it's a strategy they use to earn your trust. They're the ones who dangle marriage and commitment within 3 hours of your meeting. Within 48 hours, you'll be introduced to his mother and sisters. And within 74 hours his parish priest knows you. In your head you are thinking, "wow, this man knows what he wants!". What you don't know is that, while he's pursuing a commitment with you, he's in the process of ghosting another lady who 3 months ago had been introduced to his family. This is where I also differ with you. These "nice" men don't break up amicably. They do not have the liver to break up with anyone face-to-face. They have zero balls. Zero testicles. They cannot hold difficult conversations (not even in the boardroom). Usually they just ghost the lady by not picking her calls, not replying her messages, and expect her to "get the memo". That's where a ladies man beats them hands down. That ladies man, that one who flirts with every girl, but refuses to settle down will never make promises, and when a situationship or entanglement with him is not working out anymore he'll break up with the lady intelligently. They never burn bridges. "Good" men do. All things considered, whether the man is your definition of a good man or otherwise, expect the best, but prepare for the worst. |
Hatesin:Adoption is not for you. |
Lawmak:

Dmacqh:It is funny how you guys reason. People die everyday. Good people even. |
Obagofixxy:Don't mention God while celebrating somebody's death. People die everyday. Were they also fighting who God has "blessed"? May I never get to a level of hate that will make me celebrate somebody's death. Sick people! |
Lemmy123:Hehehehehehe! You dey craze! ![]() Me sef I stopped watching Bollywood movies when I saw a plane being towed in the air! ![]()

How old are you OP? |
NorthSerious:Nigerian men should be the last men to speak about character. The last. But on another note, awful character has never been be a hindrance to any woman trying to find a mate. Last time I checked, the Jezebels, the Delilahs and the Cruellas are the apex predators in the dating/marriage jungle. Men swarm towards them like migrating birds. The more cruel, sadistic and narcissistic a woman is, the longer the queue of her (usually well-to-do) suitors. The Proverbs 31 woman gets one proposal in 5 years, and it's usually from one mediocre man with very little to offer, materially and sexually. Contrary to popular belief, the "logical" gender do not consider a girl's character/personality. They're in fact attracted to drama. Some psychological ish about conquering and taming what seems wild and beyond their reach. I insist. Nigerian women should look outside. |
It's about time Nigerian women started dating and marrying foreign men. Forget about these guttersnipes. Marry out! |
RexTramadol1:That one is the father of them all. He even hired bodyguards and private jets to pass off as a billionaire's son! |
SultanOfPuna:Teddy A already has a son from a previous relationship. The one he's expecting with BamBam will be his second son. |
I've never hawked, but I admire people who hustle legitimately. I genuinely admire hawkers. |
I'm here for the lies.

franchasng:Pardon me for not quoting the whole response. You tend to write long articles, just like me. ![]() Let me not speak so much about Nigeria, but where I come from men do not necessarily put off marriage on account of their financial capacities. Financial stability is usually encouraged but is rarely a deal breaker for a young couple who have been dating and want to take it to the next level. It's common to settle down when one of them (it can even be the girl) begins to earn. You're not expected to be Dangote before you can think of marriage, but it's expected that you're able to support your lifestyle (which is usually modest, but not a state of pauperism). Now, incidences of men dumping their college girlfriends and marrying other Disappointments are common to both men and women (only that women are better at handling them, but that's a discussion for another day). From your write-up, I can deduce two assumptions; 1. That a woman's first/college boyfriend is usually the one she finds ideal. You can't be more wrong. When girls get exposed to other men (sometimes more eligible), they're likely to no longer pedestalize that particular one they dated first. I don't know about other women's experiences, but that was mine. 2. You're assuming that a woman can only love/want one man and when she moves on to another, he's not exactly what she wants. Yes, sometimes that's the case, but many times it isn't. The one thing I do agree with you though is that the biological clock favours men way more, and it gives them the luxury of time and a wider pool to pick from. However, that has never made them immune to the frustrations that come with the inability to find a compatible partner. There's nothing as frustrating as having an array of girls at your disposal and not meeting one you're compatible with. Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink. I'm sure you've heard that phrase. Well, at least we also agree that some men settled for women whom they clearly know never loved them. I don't know whether to laugh or sympathise with such men. Hehehehehe...! ![]() Now we all understand where the source of 80% of Nairaland family rants come from. "My wife hates sex", "My wife has denied me sex for over a month", "My wife deletes her WhatsApp chat history", "My wife doesn't show me off on Facebook", "My wife hates kissing me", "I'm secretly doing a DNA on my children", etc etc. When you know a woman finds you repulsive and you still go ahead to wife her, why won't we have such threads? ![]() All in all, thanks for the civil discussion. |
Explorers:Better news. I pray he survives it. |

franchasng:Whenever I contribute to a discussion concerning issues, it's usually done from a place of my own experience and observation of other people's experiences. Not online articles from relationship "gurus". In my observation, many people who marry each other want to be with each other for reasons best known to them. The world is not as complex as most of you make it seem. You make it sound like the men most women pick are undesirable, and the women most men pick are dream girls. The reality (around me) is different my friend. Life batters both men and women, and it sometimes favours both men and women. Compatibility frustrations are experienced by both men and women. The fact that over 75% of the people constantly whining about relationship issues on Nairaland are men tells you a lot about who the frustrated people are in trying to navigate the world of romantic relationships. Despite that, we see people who want to be with each other without having to be each other's "dream" men or women. The fact that a woman's dream man is Idris Elba will not stop her from falling hard for (and even marrying) a man she meets in her surroundings. You guys should give us a break with this women-don't-marry-who-they-want nonsense. That would mean that the wives you picked wanted other men, but are stuck with you? Do your wives find you undesirable? This is an honest question by the way. |
Freestainworld:The usual scare tactics. ![]() Scare women with Shiloh and menopause so that they can settle for what they don't desire. ![]() Tacha has a daughter, so I guess menopause is the least of her worries. ![]() |
franchasng:It's only on Nairaland I keep reading this. I realize it's quoted every time some men want to place an artificial high status upon themselves, or to lay the groundwork for instilling artificial fear of spinstorhood on women who appear picky. That afterall, she'll not marry who she wants anyway, she'll marry who she can, so she'd better pick who she can NOW or forever miss out. A strategy used to create artificial panic on women who actually know what they want in a man. ![]() The reality is, some men marry who they want, who they really desire. While some marry who is available (who they can). Some even marry a woman they initially found to be repulsive, but later settled for her because their Girlfriend Zero ain’t coming back. Some marry the girl who got pregnant, regardless of whether or not he wanted her as a wife. Same applies to women. There are women who actually marry the man they love/want. I know plenty . Then there's the Alpha Widow who settles for any available man, but will keep fantasizing about her ideal ex even when making love to her husband. She's the one who fits your description of "women marry who they can". In summary, 1. Some men marry who they want/love. 2. Some women marry who they want/love. 3. With the realisation that their ideal woman no longer wants them, some men settle for whoever else they can get. 4. With the realisation that the ideal man no longer wants them, some women settle for whoever else they can get. 5. The ideal situation, which isn't uncommon, would be for a man in Category 1 to marry a woman in Category 2, because they both desire each other. 6. Regardless of where couples belong in the above categories, some marriages work out well, some don't. The path of life isn't a straight line. |
Glad to see the elephant hasn't been converted to soup by the usual neanderthals who eat everything, from rodents to crawling reptiles. |
sherlock229:I'm not in a competition of trying to appear smart. I'm just making an observation. Yes, there's that stereotype about Japanese men having weird sexual fetishes. I'm well aware of that. Thing is, alongside their weird perversions, these same men are known for their dexterity and efficiency. They're highly innovative, and perhaps that's why their other "shortcomings" can be forgiven. Germans can be forgiven for whatever queer sexual perversions they possess, afterall they keep manufacturing the world's most recognised car models and are constantly engaging in medical research. Can the same be said about these boys joining WhatsApp groups to share their girlfriends' nudes and discuss female private parts like their lives depended on it? There's nothing as repulsive as when hypersexual behaviour is exhibited by unintelligent, myopic people. Really. |
This one will never be a bitter misogynist. |

WoundedLamb:They don't become motivational speakers. They become redpillers and incels who spend their entire lives trolling women and monitoring who their exes date, who they marry, if they marry. Small rejection from their exes they can't take. What T-boss is addressing is common knowledge. A very common scenario. Her statement may have been motivated by a family matter, perhaps a betrayal by a close aunt or cousin, but trust these orangutans to turn it into a woman-bashing discussion. |
