QED!

Well, when I was single, I had my fair share of younger partners.

It's so powerful! 💪💪

Every girl must strive to be financially independent early in life to experience it.


Then, if we hung out and the guy impressed me, I could offer to drop him close to his house with my car.

Or I could decide to give him 2k for being a good carpenter.

But, if I'm not impressed, I will give him 200 naira for bike and won't see him again.

This particular married guy thought because he was good carpenter, I would become meal ticket for his wife and children.

Once, I dropped him off and gave him his 500 naira, I noticed he was disturbed and wanted to ask me for more. But I zoomed off before he got the chance.

But as soon he got home, he called me to say that his wife took out his arm card and lost it and now they can't access cash for feeding.

I said ok, lemme see what I can do.

I blocked him!!

Nonsense!
Lies...in your dreams grin

Imagine a relationship where a lady is significantly older than her partner.

What advantages/disadvantages do you see in such pairing? (Experience, energy, societal pressure, life stages)

As for me, it depends on the level of maturity.....not even age!
You can be 40 years as a man and still behaves like a toddler. A guy also can be 25years of age and behaves mature with high level of intelligence.
For instance , Rev.Sam Adeyemi married an older wife and they are doing fantastically well.
Peter Okoye, Dare art Alade....Dem plenty!

Things to check out for:
1- Character and level of submission of older lady.
2- Temperament level and how they handle situations.
3- Personal and social status: You as a man, can your older partner be proud of you among friends, events, etc?
4- Level of understanding : Can you as a man cope with reasoning dimensions of an older lady?
5- Don't allow culture to play out as long as you guys agree to embark on the journey. For instance, some cultures will see it as a taboo for man to engage older lady.
6 - Respect from both parties.
Etc
Etc
Etc.....

Age is nothing to me anyways....na happy ending be the koko!!

It all depends on the individual, age is not a criteria for relationship or marriege.

So you never met a good 'Carpenter' that asked you to keep your '2k'

By the way, what is 2k supposed to buy?

All the same, I applaud people who are careful with their money.

Not cool. You should be ahead of your woman in everything including age, career and finances. You lead she follows. As she's upgrading, don't stop upgrading yourself cause once she think she's bigger than you, she will look up to someone bigger than her. Simple.
Re: Lady Older Than The Guy: Is This Relationship Okay? by Zannix(m): 1:49pm On Aug 11, 2025
Why not save yourself the trouble?

Carry your size!

In a relationship where you are supposed to be the leader; leading someone who probably has more experience than you won't be easy.

As a man you must take peace of mind seriously!

At 20 the guys brain is not fully formed some part of the brain are still undeveloped. The age gap is not the issue but the guys age.

As a man you need to always show that charisma that you are capable in the relationship cos if you don't..... Hmmm!!!!!!

You garrit, if you don't Gerrit forget about it.
Re: Lady Older Than The Guy: Is This Relationship Okay? by Milekedesigns(f): 2:48pm On Aug 11, 2025
Age gaps in relationships work when both people are emotionally mature, financially responsible, and on the same page about life goals. The challenge isn’t the number — it’s whether they’re truly compatible at that stage of life.

I once dated a lady older than me. Well, the relationship ended.

I wasn’t jobless, and neither was she.

But she wanted to become controlling — I told her, No.

I decided to end the relationship because of this, but she tried to blackmail me over the time we had been together.

I reminded her that I wasn’t the one who wasted her youthful years.

You can’t control me when you’re not feeding me.

Be submissive, or go find someone much older than you, to whom you can actually be submissive.

She’s still single till now… and still reaching out to me.

But I’m already in a serious relationship with someone else.
U be real man that is y she is still reaching out to u

That's 15years difference, the guy will at some point have insecurity issues because their communication value will not be the same. Intellectual reasoning must be applied.

I'm older than my husband with almost 2 years and my marriage is so good. Oga, address your failing marriage, and stop advising errorously based on the failing of yours.

Dont mind these kids on here.
I married a man I'm older than, but he is more emotionally, physically, spiritually, waaaay matured than me.

I dare not challenge my husband when he is talking to correct me, and he respects me a lot.

I control the finances of the home, on that one, he is not a good spender, he can be reckless. On that, he allows me handle it.

The marriage ain't perfect,but people around commends/ envy us. So I can say, we are good to go.

But 15 years is much, as a woman, can't do that.

It doesn't mean much to me but I am not sure I will marry her

She will age so fast

We can just be knacking
If you take proper care of her, then she isn't aging any fast

Re: Lady Older Than The Guy: Is This Relationship Okay? by zagorakis(m): 5:45pm On Aug 11, 2025
Run.
As a guy, you should be above your wife in everything, age, intelligence, wisdom, wealth etc for a successful union. I rest my case.

The one wey sweet me pass was one night it was raining and this carpenter was coming all the way from Ikeja to see me in Lekki.

When he got to my estate gate and called me to drive out to pick him up, I told him to take a bike because the road was flooded and I can't drive in it. After a long back and forth, he grudgingly entered bike in that rain.

When he got to my house, I prepared a warm bath for him and gave him food and all was good again.
