Nobody is an evening newspaper. If you are worried about single ladies/men, do well to marry one and help us reduce the population of singles. Anything less and you are an emptyheaded rabblerouser.

Men are obsessed with women. That’s it. That’s all

maureensylvia:


It reduces a person's worth to their marital status, implying they're 'stale' or 'less desirable' if not yet married.

Ok guys, listen let's trash this important topic and very popular phrase used very frequently on Nairaland by the guys.

In recent times I have always come across the term "evening newspaper", being used to refer to some certain individuals oftentimes the female folks on this honourable site.

The term is often used in a derogatory term to refer to ladies of a certain age group who are yet to marry.

I must confess that I find this term to be amusing and often wonder at the origin considering the fact that I am an avid reader of newspapers expecially the evening variety.

Now due to the present economic impasse in the country, we find that lots of the menfolk who are still single and yet to marry, in particular older males in their late thirties, early to mid- forties.

Can we refer to these categories of males as "evening newspapers" too.

I personally think if a man is not married at 35, he should be classified as an evening newspaper or what do you guys think.

For me, I would prefer the term not to be used at all as it is derogatory but if you insist on using them, I would say men could be evening newspapers too.

I believe it's a sense of insecurity you're displaying if you need or seek validation from the opposite sex to feel good about your decisions. Women say derogatory things about men all the time, you don't see us crying about it..
Lastly, if you don't pay attention to trivialities, it can never gain traction. Just ask WizKid.

Twoclans:


I am a sexually experienced woman, I hope you know that a wild ,hard and sustainable erection in a twenty year old adult male does not equal to satisfaction for a woman.An adult male that is above 40 and like you said has taken good care of his body might bring better experience and satisfaction regardless of the kind of erection he has.

On Ned and his wife,permit me to keep quite.

maureensylvia:


You could have act like Wizkid😃

Nobody can be an evening newspaper as you have rightly noted that the word is derogatory. Even worse that it most times comes from men who are unmarried themselves, but somehow clutch to that as the only means to put women down.

Using Nairaland as a case study, I am yet to see any of the forum's rules that says females must be married to have peace. So the obsession with the marital status of women on this site is unbecoming.

That said, marriage is a lifetime decision that can make or mar you. You should do it when you are prepared for it and with someone who wants it as much as you do. It is not for survival or change of status. If you die at 30, they will call it premature death. But you are alive and same people think you are too old for marriage.

People have different spec at different stages of their lives. Pick your own spec and shut up.

1) I am of the belief that a good marriage is indeed an achievement to those who desire it. But when you bully people so much with something, they might fight back and you hear statements like the highlighted.

2) Until marriage happens, Nigerians should allow singles breef. I have thought about it deeply and I am yet to see any reason to shame someone for being SINGLE.

3) I have never looked at a man on this forum and thought to myself "eish, he is not married". I don't care and I won't marry him if he were single. It is always the reverse because women do not care enough about such to give men derogatory names. They might have their biases when approached by these men, but they are not malicious about it like the guys on this forum who have more venom than inland taipans. So you won't find a handful of women to adopt this name for men.


4) These venomous men do not care about (the biological clocks of) women. They only want to ensure they cause them pains and embarrassment.

Danielnicks:


First of it's acted

Secondly, how does that correlate with what I was advising?

superCleanworks:


You are not married and you are asking another person to GO AND MARRY. You are a man, YOU ARE A BOY and I will not reply any further.

Men can't be referred to as evening newspaper cos they are the readers of the Newspapers ....

People rush for morning news cos its still new and yet to spread... by evening, any newspapers that's still in the stands don't have value again cos there's nothing new about any news it carries ...

Women don't chase men that are in their late teens or in their 20s , of course, only if the man has money of which most men only start to built from their 30s thru to their 40s .... so men don't have value when they are young unlike women .... reason there is the saying that men age like wine while women age like milk

Make I keep quiet fess

Even though I find the word derogatory.

The fact still remains that the fecundability of a woman reduces with age, and also they tend to have more complications like pre eclampsia during pregnancy.

And let's not forget women start to age early too.


For men, it's about money.

Majority of women will show you love (might not be genuine) if you are rich.

Ned nwoko is an example, he scored a girl, most guys in their early 30s only dream off.

monex:


this girl lol

Well said. People make assumptions that everone wants marriage or that they want marriage at this point in their lives.

Evening newspaper is as derogatory as they come as it doesnt even conote "old" but rather "expired'.

pocohantas:


Lol. Useless assumptions which is most times a coping mechanism for the attacker. Why so obsessed with the marital life of another when you have your own life to fix?

I have seen them put these evening newspapers into heirachies and types. Like 1988 Sun or Vanguard.
