So finally,all i can deduce is that all vvomen are cumbvckets..

Relationships/marriage is prostitution..

Nature made men host and women parasites.sadly most men want to be host to these females..

Briffault law,affirmed that all xx chromosome carriers are holes..

I hope AI or technology develops so well that a man wont need a woman to have a child..

Nigerian men are terrible simps who love to die for women..


Men should see the game for what it is and avoid natures parasitism(heterosexual relationships)

Hmmmmmm

Marriage is a different game altogether. No matter how experienced you are before marriage, you will still face challenges from your spouse. I thank God for the one I married.

But the question is do you think the woman that you want, wants you in return?


God will bless you šŸ¤”

That's why I'm working so hard sister.
I'm investing, I'm saving. There's a big workload ahead of me.

But note. I ain't partaking in all of this stress with a liability.

I use to tell men around me, focus on God and your hustle. Treat women the same way they treat you. She will call u names but no sen her

This hypergamy thing doesn't end with money.

There's good look.
Popularity.
Competency.
Youth.

I believe there should be others too.

Let's talk about these too.


That is true. But I think for women, they come after financial stability. Sure, a lady who seeks marriage would choose a younger dude over an older man all things being equal. What I am curious about is how modern-day women are yet to understand that there are fewer men who are financially stable, and those who are yet single have many women at their beck and call YET want monogamy. Na wetin, I tell a female doctor friend who is based in Abuja: there are few men you describe, and if they are single, they have many women in their lives. She even wants the one with less body count. shocked

I am agreeing with him and telling him that if he chooses such a woman, he is destined to share his manhood with her and you still have a problem? What exactly is menā€™s issue with women on this site? Like even the op described the woman I described ā€˜a fake ass slaveā€™

Why donā€™t you go tackle him?

I didnā€™t read much of what you wrote but if I came across as one disparaging the life of a homemaker, then I apologizeā€¦

No need to get rude or use terms like Iā€™m ā€˜making noiseā€™ when your fellow men describe women who have decided to be homemakers in these same terms everyday

Donā€™t get in your feelings because you feel itā€™s a woman typing

All Iā€™m saying is the man above to choose one, itā€™s either you provide without complaints like the ā€˜manā€™ you claim to be or you get the a hustler that thinks like you and hold your peace forever

It is that simple

It is your fellow men that use these terms to abuse the women they know they are destined to take care off, your problem should be with them and not me


The sarcastic tone in your comment is obvious to me.

Leaving aside all the yapping, It may shock you but there are many working class women who remain feminine, submissive and cooperative with their husband.

Only modern black women think in extremes just like you've done here. Do not make it seem like those two are the only options because there are indeed women raised to understand and play the role of a wife to a man.

We saw our grandmothers and mothers do it, and also saw how our grandfathers and fathers loved and adored them and the whole family, living a life of sacrifice for the good of everyone.

Now, it is up to you to vet and date and marry worthy men. If you choose a bum you can't blame it on anyone else.

Obviously this only applies to those who want to be married.

You may continue to argue it online (which I will ignore) but the facts are clear.

All the best to you.

He who pays the piper dictates the tune. As sole provider man gets to do this.

But their issue is they want their women to co-pay the piper but want to dictate the tune solely.

Age is a number to me.
I can marry anyone of any age. So long she's not too older than me.
Fyi. I don't do juveniles. Our energy never matches.

you may likely remain single for life. Your sister was right. As a man, you will be the provider even if you're furtunate enough to get someone within your class. It is the norms in our clines.

Reason why i said you may likely remain single for life is because it is much easier for women to get men within or above their class but not that easy for men. If you like let all these small small boys for nairaland dey decieve you or applaud you. It's just like me saying the girls i graduated with in school should marry us the guy. Like who does that. Some of the girls in my class got married in their final year while some during and after service. How on Earth will they marry their mate who probably don't know where life is taking them to?


Your brain is still living in 1950s, wake up. If you choose to marry a Uni babe who is a liability then you need to wake up.

If your wife has good behavior, I would encourage you to stay focused and be sincere with her. Let her feel that you love her more than she loves you, even if you have to pretend, and don't treat her like a piece of shit. You can build your future with her. What is outside is not guaranteed until that one enters, and that's when you'll realize that all women possess 80% of the same attitudes; the remaining 20% makes them differ, either for better or worse.

I never wanted to marry my wife because of our age difference, but you see, this babe can go to lengths for me. One day, I just said to myself, 'Why am I even bothering, chasing, and looking for someone to see reasons to love me, when there is one that really loves me for reasons I don't know?'

We give thanks to God; we have now been together for 5 years with a cute baby boy, and we're still going strong.

Why does it matter if one man thinks differently than others and you all want to crucify the one man because he thinks differently. Everyone cannot be backward thinking like your average Nigerian.

Dollar is 1300, poverty is on the rise in Nigeria but our guy should go and marry a 21 yr old uni student who has nothing to offer apart from sex all in the name of ā€œhis view is not standardā€.

You're the provider. You're the man. Stop running away from your responsibility. A girl doesn't marry their mate in age and finance. It is the norms. I graduated from school last two years. We have about 12 girls out of about 70 students. 7 of those girls are married. None got married to their school mate. Their guys are already established. They're working class or with established business

By the way, who told you marrying a student or a fresh graduate means she's a liability? You're wrong bro. She's growing that's why she came to acquire education. She can get a job after service or establish a business. The fact that they got married doesn't mean they will end their ambition inside marriage.
Omotola jolade ekehinde was married at the age of 18 but look at her today. The most important thing is how ambitious is the lady and the man in question

If you're a man who has money and you think you can get a lady with same money as yours then you're decieving yourself bro. In Nigeria naturally women do not have money up to men. You can only get a lady working or have her own business but looking for someone in the same financial level like yours is a mild dream

Everyone on this thread that you're arguing with an exception for Gerrard are living in Nigeria & they still have the backward mentality that their sole responsibility is to lift women from poverty, so every thing you say is flying over their head. I read your post and I hear you loud and clear.

Please just know that you're on the right path, the average Nigerian man believes they are suppose to marry a girl from Makoko informal settlement and place her on a monthly salary.
That is what your father, grandfather and great-grandfather did and they had a successful marriage. Nature has made it so expecially in our clines. In your tiny brain you think money is the only factor that makes marriage/family flow smoothly?

Will you also help the woman carry pregnancy for 9-12 months and risk your life during child birth? Will the child also bear the woman surname? Will you also lose your shape and figure as a result of motherhood? If you can also share the aforementioned then you can see a woman that'd even do 50/50 bills with you.

This is the sole reason why you will die of poverty, it comes in the night creeping and will catch up with you, most Nigerian guys who are domiciled in Nigeria have this mentality of yours. I have left the shores of Nigeria 8 years ago, therefore I am nothing like you.

This is also why women like shaybebaby love men like you that scream provider provider, because that's the only reason why you exist. To be a work horse and die.

5 years in marriage? You try o. Kudos to you.
I said here that a marriage of 18 years went into thin air after the man established the woman. I've witnessed similar and worse.

She should wait a bit. Jesus is coming.

Even tho it's important for a man to be up and doing but not all women are actually after money. It's a shame the ones after money have louder voices that those who care little about such.

My pastor recently shared a story of how his wife was feeding him when he lost his job and his new job wasn't paying enough. It went on for years o until he was back to his feet. This man I'm talking about is in the top ten earners in his local government in Lagos as of today.
