Show interest. That is all.

If she likes you she will let you know. Women are not complicated when they actually want you. The signs are clear. The access is easy. Everything flows.

If she is playing games, step back without resentment. Take that energy and pour it back into yourself. Your work. Your money. Your peace.

Because here is the thing nobody tells young men. The version of you that stopped chasing and started building is the same version that women will pursue.

Another woman who actually wants you will always show up. And she will make it easy.

A man was asked:

Would you marry a single mom?

And he answered:

Men was created to start a family not to join.

Good day ladies and gentlemen of the great NL house!
Before I go into the main gist. I want to first apologize to those who thinks I write stories too much and they're sometimes long and boring to them.
Let me introduce myself first. I'm a single father of 3 who lost his Benin wife to their Japa syndrome since 2010 and never seen or heard from till today.
By God's grace, after 20yrs of driving commercially to survive and train the kids, I formally retired last year. Not bcus the job wasn't lucrative, but bcus I was warned to stop after having some series of severe back pain, neck pain and leg pain.
Thankfully, before retiring I managed to win over a hired purchased bus that's fending for my 3 kids who are staying with my aunt who at 60+ doesn't have a husband nor a child.
Not wanting to stay idle, I currently work as a security personnel at a Guest House from 7pm to 11pm, while taking care of the owners house which is just beside it during the day. The owner is in US. So I practically stay in the big house all alone. Honestly there's no much work for me to do there other than weeding and cleaning the compound once every week. The rest of the day is just for eating, browsing and sleeping. Not wanting to be lonely and depressed is why I am almost online everyday, writing stories and gossips about my surroundings.
Like I always said, 90 to 95% of my stories are real life stories with the other percents like adding maggi, salt and spices to make it sweet or interesting.
I love writing, reading, driving, music, movies, sports especially football and watching documentary on history and biographies.
.
Now to the main gist. I lived and work in an area fully surrounded by hostels occupied by students and youths working in Chinese companies in Ogun state.
Electricity in the area is epileptic and comes once every week. Luckily for me, due to the guest house, I have 24/7 light from either solar or generator which makes water abundance for me.
But the students and workers are not that lucky. So majority of them always looks for where to charge their phone and also gets water.
When lights come, they normally pump water in their hostels, but it doesn't last more than two days.
Like two to three compounds normally used generator to pump water where they always go to. Sometimes the owners of those places allows them, sometimes they rejecting them.
Another only source of water in the street is a well at the extreme end of the street, it's stressful for some of them.
.
I started working where I am now January this year, but I always stay on my own and just observing the students and workers.
For me to make friends with some of them, I started getting water for some of them that usually greets me. If I see they have walked and walked looking for water and didn't see, I will just tell the person to drop his bucket and then go inside and get water from them.
But anytime I do this, they always thank me with sir sir.
One among them, who was learning hairdresser and selling men clothes online, approached me one day and begged for her to use my compound to make videos of her clothes.
I obliged her and ever since then which was February, we have been friends.
.
With time I began to like her, but her constant good morning sir, good evening sir just like the other girls used to greet me always discouraged me from telling her my mind about her.
After Easter my phone got spoilt and for close to 3 weeks I didn't have chance to go to Lagos and repair it.
And it was the time my feelings for her became strong.
I didn't know how to approach her, so I used the opportunity of her giving me her phone to charge for her to write down my feelings for her on a sheet of paper and attached it at the back of her phone.
.
When it was time to collect it, I told her there's a note I attached in her phone that she should read it. She collected it, thank me and bade me goodnight sir while bowing down a little as a Yoruba girl she's.
Hoping to get answer the next day, even though I was apprehensive on how she will take or react about it.
My people, this is 3 weeks now since I wrote that letter and she hasn't said anything or confronted me on why I wrote such notes.
But we have been greeting and talking to each other since the next day after the note till date, and both of us pretending such never happened.
I said to myself once I repair my phone, I will send her a msg asking what she thought about my note and why hasn't she replied.
I got my done last week, and I still don't have the courage to ask her both in person or thru msg.
.
But there's a reason why I haven't.
In between those times my phone was still spoilt and the note sent to her. There was an electrician who came to do some repairs in my compound sent by my boss.
It was same time she too came to do videos of her clothes in my compound. The electrician told me he like her that I should run her for him. I told him I can't that he should go himself.
So he used the guise of wanting to buy her clothes and approached her.
I sha know they exchanged numbers.
This was 2 weeks ago, so last week when the electrician came to finish his work, he ask me of her. I told him I thought you collected his number the other day. He said he did, and that he has bought clothes of 30k from her.
But that when he tries to pushed further about dating her, she told him she has a guy.
.
Hmmmm.... I heave to myself and asked him his next line of action. He said he'll pushed further. I just mutter the words ok o.
So since that last week, hearing she has a serious guy, (even though she hasn't brought any guy home or any man came looking for her unlike some of the other girls)
It just makes my resolve of asking her what she thinks about my note weak.
But we do see and talk everyday, but her constant "es'e sir, ekaro sir" always puts me off. I don't know if she's deliberately doing that so I will know she respects me as an elderly person. By the way she's 28 while I'm in my early 40s.
.
To the other girls, I am getting closer to some of them. But they too wants to kill me with sir sir sir, and thereby knocking me off of asking any of them out. All these is bcus one of my child a girl who's 17 came to visit me one day.
But the truth is I am seriously lonely, bored and depressed at times. If not for NAIRALAND and Sportsnews and YouTube, only God knows what I would have done to myself. I really need one of them as an acquaintance and if it can lead to a serious relationship, I am ready for it.
Just that I don't know how to go about it with the over respect they're according me.
.
So I am asking for womanology experts who knows how to go about this to give me some tips. The pictures attached to this post are mine, am I too old in the true sense of it or what. Cus physically I look young and agile to most of the guys I see some of them hang around with and I am not mincing words here. I will welcome any thoughts from you all, both insults and good advice.
After all I made the post to get engagement and discussion to kill off boredom.
Thanks and good day to you all once again.

My female cousin sent me a friend early in the morning while others are going to work.

And the thing is I don’t even talk to her

mamagee3:
Opinions on this photo; what do you think about this?

Who is the lady on the left?

apatheticme:
We definitely have our own peculiar issues plaguing us such as insecurity, poverty, poor infrastructure, erratic power supply etc

However, a reduction in fuel prices at least back to pre - war prices would go a long way to ease the inflation and harsh realities for most homes!

What I Know About Matriarchy
Matriarchy is a social system where women (especially mothers) hold the primary role of authority and leadership within the family and community. This differs from patriarchy, which is far more common and male-dominated.
Here are the key aspects of matriarchy:
Characteristics of Matriarchal Societies
* Female Dominance in Decision-Making: In a matriarchy, women have the primary say in important family, economic, and social decisions. This can include managing resources, resolving disputes, and spiritual guidance.
* Lineage Through Women: Inheritance, property, and even family names are often passed down through the female line (matrilineal). This means ancestry is traced through the mother, not the father.
* Role of Men: The role of men in a matriarchy varies, but generally, they are often responsible for performing specific tasks, such as hunting, protection, or working outside the home, while women manage the internal affairs of the community. They often play an important role as uncles (mother's brothers) in raising children.
* Respect for Women and Mothers: In matriarchal cultures, mothers and elder women often enjoy high status and respect due to their role in childbirth and sustaining life.
* Economic Control: Women may control the production, distribution, and consumption of goods, especially in agrarian societies where they were crucial for agricultural output.
* Spiritual Aspects: There are often mother goddesses and female deities in spiritual practices, reflecting the importance of the female role in the world.
Historical Evidence and Modern Debate
The existence of true, global matriarchal civilizations in the past is a subject of debate among anthropologists and historians. Some researchers argue that such societies existed in prehistory, especially in the Neolithic period, based on archaeological finds of mother goddess figurines and the absence of obvious warrior structures.
However, most scholars believe that "true" matriarchy, in the sense of a complete inversion of patriarchy where women systematically dominate men, likely never existed on a large scale. Instead, matrilocal (where a couple lives near the bride's family) or matrilineal (inheritance through the female line) societies were more common, where women had significant influence and authority, but not necessarily complete domination over men.
Existing Examples (Matrilineal/Matrilocal Societies)
While "pure" matriarchies aren't widespread, there are cultures today that exhibit strong matriarchal or matrilineal tendencies:
* Mosuo in China: Known for their matrilineal and matrilocal structure. Women are household heads, and inheritance is passed down through the female line. The concept of marriage differs from the Western one; they often practice "walking marriages" where men don't live permanently with their partners.
* Minangkabau in Sumatra, Indonesia: The largest matrilineal group in the world. Land and property are inherited through the female line, and women play a crucial role in ceremonies and family decisions.
* Akan in Ghana: A traditionally matrilineal society where ancestry is traced through the female line, and maternal uncles play an important role in children's lives.
Difference Between Matriarchy, Matrilineality, and Matrilocality
It's important to understand the distinctions:
* Matriarchy: A system in which women hold primary political, economic, and social power and authority.
* Matrilineality: A system of inheritance and descent traced through the female line. It doesn't necessarily mean women have more power.
* Matrilocality: A system in which a married couple settles near or in the bride's family home.
While discussions about matriarchy are often idealized or misunderstood, the study of societies with female leadership or strong female influence provides valuable insight into the various ways human communities can be organized, and challenges the assumption that patriarchy is the only "natural" or "normal" form of social organization.
