Nope your statement has always been a man is to toil the soil for the family while the wife handles her money anyhow she likes, No African responsible man goes into marriage looking at his wive's purse but it's also a good feeling to know, you have a supportive partner. Let's face it, not alot of men earn enough to play that role traditionally. You have to bring something to the table, this is not playground, this is a family household. my principle is always 70 30, I cover 70 and you chide in 30. You think I want to wake up and slaving myself for someone just for the person to be more financially ahead of me and I do not benefit from that

Who does that ?

You personally are not always realistic in your answers which is why I called you "Naive" not as an insult, but the fact that that's not in touch with reality.

I cover all the bills naturally, but a women's gesture to doing things on her own for me will appeal to me more, than someone who doesn't hence why no man wants to date a liability.

Your Father's period has passed, this is a new economy and generation



70:30? How are you going to discuss it with your patner,what bills will you be assigning to her?i don’t just get it.The thing is I will fall out of love with any man who starts discussing bills with me and the percentage that I’ll be shouldering,it shows there’s no love in the first place but business transactions and some selfish interests.Is love not supposed to be blind abi the blindness should solely be on the woman who will be expected to be perfect at all other things while the man can be escused just because he’s doing his provider role? What else do men bring to the table aside money? What makes you a man?Why do you demand respect from your spouse? If you want your woman to start sharing the financial responsibilities with you,do you still deserve total respect from her? There’s a reason why God created us differently but I don’t understand You modern men any longer

There's nothing in marriage. Lately, our women have been doing as if their survival is tied down to marriage or if you don't marry, you're a failure. Stupid mindset. Have your baby or babies with a man then live your life independently. It's foolishness to live under a detect of a man.

If you can't deal with sexual urge, there's no harm in having sex gadgets of all type and satisfy yourself if need arises or you look for one hot hansom guy that is matured and use as sex slave.

Bleep marriage

It is not discussed it's common sense that all bills will break anyone financially, you should know your man more than anyone else, enough to know his breaking point. If you have a good man paying bills and you know he is struggling, assist don't say he is a man, he is meant to handle all these on his own, no African man discusses numbers of bills to decide.

You must bring something to the table, being a woman doesn't cut anymore,

Are you bringing Comfort, Empathy, ability to support your husband, respect. Money is required from everyone regardless. You women are not the prize as the past has led you to believe. Marriage is coming together of two adults to make things work.

Why would I choose a liability when I can choose someone who makes my life easier, but i understand you sha, if I were a woman, I'd also want a traditional man to work while I put my feet in the air.

A lot of men grew up not having female attention, so even as they grow older the knack to be succesful and make something for themselves financially is almost more rewarding than a relationship

Most relationship are too transactional (ie. What are you going to give me so as to get my attention)

It's too expensive, every girl out there wants something shoe, phone, impromptu favours and all these are financed by $$$, as a man you are put in a demasculating position if you don't grant these favours to these women are the snap of a finger, and when you decide to weigh the options, such financial resources channelled into such wasteful expeditions.

Most women are boring, if you pay attention to men or you are fortunate to be in men's spaces, we like to talk about different things that affect us an society, a Nigerian woman on the other hand would only engage you only if she likes you, and only if she likes the topic being discussed. if you observe with keen intrest at how much relationships takes shape, it starts with a simple "Hi and Hello" but most modern day women want to fall in love with you at once and don't want to invest in a relationship.

A lot of women lack the ability to be able to pair bond with a man becuase they have an abundance mindset that the men would chase them forever and even when they have a stable relationshp, they would still have one eye and one eye out as if there is always something better out there. Truth is that there is always someone who would be richer, better and prettier than our current partner, but commitment is key.

Men too have standards: A lot of women growing up told us we were broke and worthless as to why we can't talk to them. Few years later the men have built themsleves and now have standard on not wanting to be with poor women. Today's high value men dont want women who just only bring beauty to the table, men now want women who can work pay their own bill and be financially stable. On clubhouse i have heard a situation where a Nigerian bloke in the diaspora said he can't be with a woman in the diaspora who made $50k not because of the money but the mindset.


Pornography: More and more men are watching porn and masturbating more and men who do that don't have this urge to flirt with women like that....

LGBT has also take it's fair share from both sexes on men who should in a stable romantic relationship.


A lot us men grew up with faulty idelogies that just told us make the money and the girls would flock around you, while i very much fault this mentality, it make it looks as if you are buying someone for the sake of the money which kills the purpose of romance.

A lot of us don't know how to date, we were never just thought how to.

Mainstream media is not real life, the Meida would try to project this happily ever after always happy no fault type of relationship which means anything outside the confines of that is bad and toxic. People are almost not allowed to bicker over things in their relationship with the hope to iron it out, your female friends would glee and cheer you up to jilt and kill your realtionship But the truth is real relationship requires lots of forgivness.

The economy: Having a two parent hosuehold in todays world cost a lot of $$$ and the women want to rescind to the old world order where they sat home looking pretty while the men went out and brought home the bacon.

I don't think so. Marriage to some is like a death trap due to what most women have become.

1. Feminism
2. Adulterous life style
3. Diabolical life style
4. Narcissism Etc..

The long list continues....

Some of the rich celebrities who opt for baby mamas aren't actually lazy...lf not for procreation, So many men no go near marriage.

I think it's your circle or environment. For instance, almost every girl/lady I know is getting married. The ones who aren't married are either in a committed relationship or have many admirers. BTW, these ladies aren't dating or marrying fellow females but men. Also, it depends on your age group. That's, if you are in your 30s or move with men who are in their 30s, you will certainly get wedding invitations here and there.

When I read people rant (at this point, it's all rants) about folks not marrying, I laugh as it's largely your environment or peer group. Nigerians are largely conservative people who will always desire to marry regardless of what woke culture or social media spew.
Every time circle circle circle,how many are in that your circle gan gan.
Truth be told,when you open your eyes to the happenings around,you will realise that things are decaying day by day and all these People you are seeing are in another circle circle circle just like yours

Re: Why Are Guys Losing Interest In Settling Down? by gforce5: 12:17pm On Mar 25, 2022
This topic has been done to death on this forum. There are other pressing matters to talk about. However, I will list the reasons why men in this country are losing interest to settle down.

1. Economic reasons. A lot of men are not financially buoyant enough to settle down and start a family. Dating someone is different from marrying someone. Issues such as rent, transportation, feeding, school fees, pampers and baby clothes are no joke.

2. The concept of marrying ones family. In this part of the world, when you marry someone, their family becomes part of your family as well. That is a big issue. It's even a bigger issue if the woman comes from a very poor family. Wifey will expect you to take care of her siblings and parents. That situation has destroyed many men and aged them beyond their years.

3. The cost of wedding and traditional marriage. Weddings in this country aren't cheap and most women in this country pressure their men to give them their "dream wedding". It is possible to avoid that if you have an understanding woman but what about that expensive 'bride price'? So many men have been rendered bankrupt because of the numerous "lists" and demands from unscrupulous uncles and dads.

4. Cheating. I am not judgmental yeah but the rate at which women cheat in this country is something else. A woman can have four different boyfriends and her man will never know. Hence, the high rate of paternity fraud in this country.

5. Transactional relationships. Most women in this country see relationships as a mere transaction. They don't understand the concept of being in a relationship. They will bill you in exchange for sex. What kind of mentality is that? Sex is a mutual act that is beneficial to both parties. It's not only the men that enjoy sex. When you are engaged in this act, you are no different from a prostitute. At least prostitutes and escorts are blunt about what they are.

6. Your money is our money but my money is my money. I saved this point for the last. This mindset has sent so many men to their graves. In a country where minimum wage is N30k (which is not the same in every state), how can you sustain a family like that? Even if you are earning N500k a month, you cannot save money if you have to pay for everything. Only rich millionaires can afford to pay for everything buy themselves.

It is tough as a man in this country.

Only few good girls are left out here believe me. Our society is so messed up. Divorce rate is on the high. Someone i know is getting married next month and he is already complaining that he doesn't love his wife. How long do you think such marriage will last? And finance is an issue too. Country hard. Believe me when i say, if a guy is with a very good girl he loves, he wouldn't want to lose her. But we got too many bad behaving, entitled hoes out there. Very few good girls left
