i see nothing in marrying an older lady so long there's compatibility between the two. that was how an argument ensued between friends of a 24yr old lady that got married to a 19yr old guy. most of her friends ridiculed her and see the whole union as a big joke. i have a different opinion about the beautiful couple's decision to get married though. in fact i kindda envy them for starting this early, if only i could turn back the hands of time.

Yes, but depending on how old I am and the circumstances involved. I'll list a few.

If I'm 24 and she is 27, of course yes. With such age, even if I want 4 kids, then there is no problem. Also, a 27 years old woman is matured, must have grown above her vanity that plagues younger girls, and realise that the world does not revolves around her boots.

If I'm 54 and she is 56, of course not. I de craze? But if I don't want a child at that age, then yes I can marry her. E go hard, because I'll naturally be going against my male instinct of going for a younger women, but I can still if the woman herself worth it.

If I'm 20 and she is 22, of course not. Do you want me to die of heart attack? Even as far as I can remember, I grew far beyond my age mentally, and at 20, I saw most adult as childish in behaviour, even worse girls of my age. At 20 when I was dead broke, classless, directionless, sophisticationless, now you want to saddle an even worse 22 years old woman that is more likely to be immature, materialistic, and full of vanity on me? I'm not doing. Rather be a reverend.

So yea, it's not a one size fit all cap, all depends on my age, my needs, her age and her needs as well. But my preference is a young woman, Like 25 years above. Many from such age get sense well.

No.


If she lied to me and I discover it after marriage, I'll divorce.


It's fornication to me.

It is not fornication dear brother, it is marriage on deceit and on this clause even the almighty Catholic church will dissolve the marriage.
Take it or leave it a woman is ten (10) times older than her man regardless. When some men say their women are evergreen it's not because she is older. For me it's a capital NO. I won't even date her.

Don't double speak please.

In your first post, you said it's in Nigeria you can find men (36yrs) who are comfortable dating kids (20yrs),when it's very obvious that a 20yrs old is an adult.

There's no amount of love that will permit me to marry a woman that is 2-hours older than me. Women naturally grow older and weaker at a higher pace than men. Marrying someone older, as time goes on she might be mistaken for your mother. My future wife must be at least 10 years younger so that when I'll be 90, she'll be at most 70
Except for green card.

Yea, of course the typical hypocrisy—- except for green card , you will marry someone older than you.

Yet a woman should marry a guy older than her?

This line of thought or perspective (like you said) is limiting; the earlier you change this thought process, the better for you.

if ur moniker doesn't say male or female ,I can confidently say this is from a female comment ,,
only women will agree that age is just a number
but men who have been there and back from the hypergamy of ladies alongside with their attitude know very well age is not just a number in a relationship .........if u like marry an older lady ,just know u will still first her to leave this crazy world

When you said adult, I thought you were referring to the op’s post (as I didn’t mention anything regarding the man dating an older woman).
Don’t double speak. Lol. I guess something triggered you in my post. You are probably a cradle robber. It’s not a big deal. It’s what you like. There is nothing wrong if you like that much age difference. 20 years is an adult and if you like that, go for it. Personally I do not find such wide gap cute. What would I be doing with a man older than me with 10 years? Am I suppose to call him sir or what?

I wanna say u are somewhat right on this

To share some thoughts with you

My experience and exposure in life has thought me some lessons ..bitter/sweet I must say

What I thought I like,loved or good for me in my younger years wasn't really what I should be chasing then
In essence,my thoughts at 25 even after university wasn't the same now
Failed relationship,no clear path and largely undecided about life
My best relationship then compared to what i have now can at best be described as draining,misplaced priorities

Older girls or agemates have experienced life
The truth is some have experienced failures and moved and learned from it..they never want to fail again

As oppose to some young girls of nowadays that thinks dating yahoo boy is an occupation and having iPhone 12 is equivalent to first class honours

Date a girl who's path to life is not yet define at your peril

May we not regret our choices
May sense never depart from you sir

You are a mumu and the most stupid person, on this nairaland. Age has nothing to do with looking old, or sick, there are young girls that look like 50 years women, there are 50years women that look young, also there are young people that fall sick always, there are old people that hardly fall sick.


So stop being follish, your wife can be very sick from 60, why another womañ very strong from 90 .

You're calling me a paedophile because I called out your folly for calling an adult (20yrs old) a child? You must be very stvpid and morally bankrupt. You're a hopeless degenerate for calling your useless father a paedophile.

In as much as age is a number let not forget the fact that they age faster than the male folks.... But, if the you can see an older lady that will love you and truthful to you.... It also possible to see the one you're older than will also have unconditional love for you.

Good ladies still abound, in every twelve there must be a Judah...that I know. Even though they're extremely minimal.

Lol. I see you are triggered. This was what you concluded from my post. I didn’t see where I called you a paedophile or anything relating to it. You mentioned me earlier asking why a 20 year old is not an adult. You came to my mention and I answered you. Further down you asked me to clarify what I meant and I explained it to you. I didn’t insult you. I only told you to read it slowly.
Now back to you, I can bet you are nothing less than 37. All your trigger on this post were directed at people who found it weird that a grown ass man would find a 20 year old attractive. It’s not a big deal. It’s people’s preference. My parents and friends parents have nothing more than 3 years between them. I didn’t grow up with wide age gap or know people with that: so I’m justified to havemy preference.

Back to you, you obviously are attracted to a younger woman and for some reasons you feel guilty because I do not understand this insult. Let me profile you. A man like you who could resort to such violent conclusion from nothing is nothing less than pathetic. We are not age mate sir. You clearly suffer from low self esteem( you are probably poor as well) and the only girls you can date are ladies with an equal low self esteem. Why would a young lady starting life be interested in someone as violent as you? Let me tell you honestly. Whoever is with you now, is mainly for the benefit. No woman can love you for you. You sound like an ugly man as well so the only thing you would have to have is money. With this you, I doubt that. So it would have to be a village girl.

I don’t mean this as an insult. No woman would ever love you except the useless thing that gave birth to you. Does she have a choice? Obviously the men in your family from generation to generation are all paedophiles . That’s why I asked you to read slowly to understand but your insecurity triggered you. Google what a craddle robber is. You felt I called you a paedophile hence the trigger because deep down you are probably attracted to children and since you can’t have them, you settle for 18-20.


Dont take out your frustration on me. Marry your kid girlfriend. She has no choice. If her parents could give her the life she wants or herself, she won’t be with you. Old fool.

Nb. Your father is a paedophile. I hope your son breaks the chain of sleeping with children in your family. Useless family
