There are men willing to marry her....but hypergamy will not allow her see those men....she will still be looking up...If it was a man in this situation, all he needs to do is fly down to naija and pick some gal....but she will likely not d that....she will say it is marrying down

Isn’t that the standard? Blame everyone but yourself?

That is why I will continue to commend Linda Ikeji for having that boy. She did what a right thinking woman should do. Not taking postinor 2 at 38.

If you want a child and you can cater for that child, by all means have that child. Even small girls of 21 are having their babies. Then a grown financially independent woman in her late 30s is somewhere asking “hope you didn’t cum inside”.

People must talk. When they are done talking, they will move on. With time they’ll appreciate the decision you took years ago.

I am 43. Not me.

No need for that. Menopause came early.

This is the raw truth. It's only bitter.

I hate it. I’m 41, never married, no kids.

I’ve been close…twice. But ended both relationships when they were caught cheating.

I’ve dated several men since then, most older than me, and they seemed to be in no hurry to even be in a committed relationship. Which is crazy to me that these men are mid-40s and still trying to hangout with the guys and party. I met a whole guy group of friends in Houston 2 years ago…all single, all 36–45 years old. They were throwing house parties during the quarantine…parties!! ��

When I was in grade school, I was told to get a degree, don’t get pregnant, just enjoy being single, make friends, keep dating, and the right man will find you.

Now that I have two degrees, traveled the world, developed hobbies, and avoided pregnancy…my doctors are telling me to just be a single mom because I’m running out of eggs as I type this message. �

I beat teenage pregnancy to be considering single motherhood at 41. �

Damn you, parents, counselors, pastors, and everyone who gave me that advice. I can’t get that time (or my eggs) back. I hate being single at this age!! ��

It is not over yet and you don't have to become too desperate cuz there are wolves out there ...just a little patience dear and all will be well

Na those "extreme high standard" sometimes be the achilles' heel of some ladies.

I'm not saying they shouldn't have standards, but sometimes, it's just too unrealistic..

That you can't find yourself a man = Faults of life.
That your eggs are running out = Fact's of life.
We we all have to face both at each point of our lifetime,but i know we can all overcome it.

what you have done about life and how you had lived your life in the past is none of my business
But there are Men for people of your age, unfortunately you might not be able to accept the conditions that Comes with it.

i will advice you look for someone willing to take a 2nd wife, a widower,a Divorces or someone who might be lower than you in social status that you can cope with or at worst get pregnant and have a baby and continue to live your life.
All the Best

Most women your age often opt for such look at Linda. Am sure she never planned it dat way..but it is wat it is. Now what you would be getting are liabilities as men or men with no plans of being with you..I wish you well..but hope your character is top notch cos that's wat might save the day.

It’s so sad that a lot of people are going to fall into this thread advising and trolling women in a demeaning way, due to your story.

It’s pathetic you are doing Mr Peter Ade…., Most likely from ifetedo, oyo state or ekiti state, whichever of this profile is banked on the internet. I mean with your most likely failed blogging career…..

Going through your profile, you are man assuming to be a woman in order to stir the workings of all these sore woman haters, churning out vile and ugly comments. First off, you are not a woman, you are male COWard, a coward at that with no balls.

2. if you are a woman and you are single at over 30, own that shitt, Life continues, adopt kids. They are humans, find love in your place of religion, supermarket, dating sites and live the life out of your life.

You are pathetic op and go find a job or something, trolling even makes you more distasteful

Lemme drop my C.V here @duyox2004. I am a vibrant , energetic young man in my mid 20's and I can be your husband and also be your companion till death do us part. Am fun to be with , ambitious , and also gainfully employed.

You can send me a P.M so we can get to know each other better as I have always had the dream of getting married to someone older than me.

Cheers

I have come to understand that you can't have a perfect man or woman. It all boils down to what you can cope and what you can't cope with. Looking for that handsome, rich, lovely Christian man and who will always be there for you, it will be difficult sister.

Forget about love or heartbreak.

You better look for one guy to impregnate you now and have a child if you really want one.

This is the mistake most ladies are making, they will be forming hard to get when they were young forgetting women have expiry dates.....No guy would like to marry an old cargo, they would even prefer an underage.

Re: What Is It Like To Grow Old And Never Be Married? by elipat: 9:35am On Oct 24, 2021

You are very selective and looking for a right husband in a wrong environment.
Single mom is not a wise decision, raising a child alone is not God's plan for you and your child.
It is only God almighty Jehovah that can give you the kind of husband you deserve. So go to God in fasting and prayer and he will surely answer your request.

Just 3 days fasting and prayer!!!
