There is nothing wrong with you being 40— we all grow up, not down. And being single is not a curse but a blessing— you fare better when you are alone and pushing for financial independence. So, your only problem seems to be that you don't have a job, and you are sort of depressed about it. Why not create a thread about needing a job, listing the location and your skills? undecided

Lol... If you are trying to encourage someone, you can do better... Many married people that promote singleness will never even consider divorce... Never. So who is deceiving whom? cheesy

Bro I consider divorce every night a year after my wife delivered my first child,
I have 2now and they are the reason I stay married,
No one will tell you how difficult and draining marriage is, even the intimacy becomes work,

Omo guy no marry anything, look for work or hustle and enjoy your life, you don't need to be married to have children, you don't need marriage to have good intercourse,

Take it from a married depressed man, marriage is a scam,
All the women on this planet are wired same way,

You will regret marrying them sooner or later

Spousal abandonment, particularly by the men who reason the load too heavy for them to bear, is what is more common, even by age 40. undecided

Also, no sane women will and should sit back and let a man slide after promising her a better life in marriage, particularly if she had to forgo building her own life and financial independence for it. undecided

I had two 50+ friends with all their children out of university, say this same thing this year.

"It wasn't worth it", they said.

This is true, don't let any woman deceive you. You won't understand this until you're into the marriage as a man.

Marriage favors women...all in marriage is endless bills and at the end the children will still prefer their mum to their dad.

Stop telling lies! Marriage does not favor women. We know this for a fact now. undecided

And the vast majority of men out there, married to women, did not have a gun put to their heads to force them into marriage. They not only wanted it but believed it was in their best interest to get married. Even the average poor man in Nigeria believes in his poverty that marriage will solve all of his problems if he can only get himself the cheapest woman out there who would submit to him in a love struggle. Turns out for most women, this is, in fact, a life sentence in misery and suffering, for their children as well. undecided

Your may not value your own life does not mean others can't do so. undecided

This is a picture of a 70-year-old man who decided to get his act and health together in his old age. If he can do it, why can't you? huh

2. Problems with drive, ambition, and mental power can be easily resolved in most situations by eating a balanced diet regularly and adding exercise to one's daily routine. Walking for up to an hour at least 4 times a week will do the trick and help you destress, too. You should try it as it works wonders to help resolve even some problems with mental illness/depression. undecided

The only problem I see in your post is you not having a job. You don't need any girlfriend now. Focus on yourself, find a job, and build yourself up.

Get a blackboard.

Go and meet estate agents in your vicinity. Get a list of properties for rental from them. Request a sample of a "a registration form "

On the blackboard write "For Rent"

Write as many properties as possible but it should be visible and add your phone number. Phone number is super important. If you have 2 numbers, better. Self-contained, miniflats and 2 bedrooms are hot cake.

Find spots that have a lot of foot traffic. Ask for permission from a shop or office to place your blackboard in front of.. You will get a spot if you are determined to find a spot. Find a spot not far off from where you live.

Once people call you, meet up with your potential client. You could ask for a registration fee. I think some charge as high as 15k. You could even charge them 5k, or nothing.

As a beginner, the choice is yours.

Take your client for inspection. You will learn on the job if you're serious

You can source and advertise on jijii.ng, Nairaland, nigeriapropertycentre.com. NL may not give you much traffic. Paid adverts is usually the best.

You will learn on the job! Within a year, you'll be a guru.

Bye!

Even if you are 60, there is no late time to start over again.

Someone made his first 1m at 55 and today he’s a billionaire.

Don’t just give up on yourself. It’s never too late to start all over again.
