Your choice bro. I'll also stay single if I can't find a good woman who's humble and family oriented, not a selfish woman with feminista orientation.

Although I'm afraid I might die alone, nonetheless I still have to admit being single without any extra responsibilities- no kids, no wife - is one of the best things to keep happening to me.

I was talking to one babe just this evening.. telling her to come, I'll cook her indomie and buy her something soft and babe was smiling coyly and bro.. I was seeing the future and I didn't like it

The future of me getting the girl pregnant filled me with apprehension. Imagine, if the girl's pregnant and I had a kid on the way, I won't have no time for myself anymore, my soft life will no longer be soft, I'll always have to be worried about money, about not losing my job.. my happy life will now be sad and constantly apprehensive and all the ills that comes with having a girl pest on your life..

Omo.. married men, I'd like to say "I feel for you" but na lie.. because asides from enjoying constant puzi you knew what you were getting your asses into.. and I'm so glad I'm not you.. and in any case not all of you have money issues
Why must you date a pest? Female doctors, pharma, engineers, lawyers, developers, IT analysts no dey where you dey hang?

True, until a woman says the same thing and earth will start shaking.

Please enjoy yourself because as I dey, if my kids say they don't want to marry, I won't fret it.
Re: Being A Single Man Is One Of The Best Things To Keep Happening To Me by Berankis: 5:57pm On Dec 10, 2025
The love of my kids alone just keeps me going. I love them so much. Marriage is not so easy I won't lie. Filled with ups and downs, I guess that's just how life is... It is never entirely smooth.
My wife is great but she is also a woman grin and I love her just like that, it is inevitable. But the kids I have, I love them with my all.
What is my life without my family? I am naturally a family man. I loathe singledom.
They are the reason why I wake up to face the struggle of the day, though the pressure no be here but the feeling of fighting for them is strengthening...
Re: Being A Single Man Is One Of The Best Things To Keep Happening To Me by gigabyte13:

Weak weak weak weak weak man !

You need some growing up. It’s not by age tho
na wetin them dey use gaslight una be this to marry

Marriage is full of responsibilities and expectations from your spouse,inlaws,church/mosque and so on.

Marry if you want,don't marry if you want.na you get your life.

Single life sweet.your money is your money your time is your Time,you can go anywhere at any time without anybody monitoring you like you're in captivity or expecting you to come home at a particular time. Sex is easy,free and available with choices.

Nobody is telling you what to do or how to live your life.abegii

Get a pension fund plan for your old age.

Be good to people around you.

Enjoy yourself till the last day.

Life isn't hard.

Married or single.
Happiness is free
Re: Being A Single Man Is One Of The Best Things To Keep Happening To Me by Angelfrost(m): 6:11pm On Dec 10, 2025
Single or Married... Both work very well depending on the individual.

At the end, you are responsible for your own life and happiness... If being married is what makes you happy, then do so and stay so.

If single life rocks your boat, never succumb to the peer pressure of matrimony.

There are so many married people who regret leaving singleness... And also single people regretting missing their good opportunities to get hitched.


A lot of single people are lonely and wishing to be married... Same time, lot more married people are miserable and wondering what they were thinking taking that leap into their unions.

Lols…funny guy grin

All I see here is a guy who’s not ready to take responsibility….Your moniker says it all Drifter
take responsibility for what ?

You need to be able to articulate what you are talking about

There are different types of single
Never married
Divorced
Widowed

So what does it mean to

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

what does that look like

Many Nigerians have multiple children and do not look after them
They grow up to be bandits and killers

Nigerians make 8 million babies a year third to China and India

Our poverty is on another level

So not everyone should makes babies
Unfortunately those who should don't and those who shouldn't do

Re: Being A Single Man Is One Of The Best Things To Keep Happening To Me by Prince16:
The bolded/underlined is the greatest scam in marriage.
It's when you get married that you'll know your wife is a 'legitimate olosho'. The day you don't drop, she doesn't spread her legs. You don't buy her that wig, she closes 'shop'. She has a bad day at office, she smiles at her boss but transfers all the aggression on u at home

She can give you an overdose of that 'constant puzzy' when you are dating o, but it's all a scam to get you to put the ring on her finger. The moment she gets that ring finish ehn, she go revert back to default setting.

If "constant sexx'' is your reason for marrying, you had better think twice before taking that jump!

If not for marriage/children, quite alot of men would've lives a more better and fulfilled lives. Responsible men are only born to work for their wives and children, the funniest thing is that, there is no guarantee they will stay with you at old age, most especially children.

However, there will be a time you will need a family to call yours. It is fulfilment of nature for a man to have his own family. You need to consider that please.

Until you hit 55s - 60s above you will start regretting.. You will die without any legacy...

My uncle is currently dying a lonely man now in Washington..

He decided to never marry,but he kept knacking all the ladies in his prime... now no kids no grandkids, no legacy, no body to talk to or share stories with..
By now his children should be around him celebrating him...
He is alll a alone in his old age...

Hamachi:
Bro I get you — freedom sweet.
Waking up and only thinking about yourself is a privilege many people underrate.
No diapers.
No emergency school fees.
No “where are you?” every 30 minutes.
No unexpected pregnancy turning your destiny upside down.

It’s normal to protect your peace.

But at the same time… let’s be honest with ourselves:

A lot of what you’re afraid of is chaos, not companionship.
Irresponsibility, not relationship.
Unplanned pregnancy, not love.

If you’re intentional, disciplined, and aligned with the right person, partnership doesn’t steal your freedom — it multiplies your life.

The problem is:
Most men rush in without purpose, without boundaries, without knowing themselves.
And that’s how they end up trapped, tired, and resentful.

Marriage or fatherhood isn’t the enemy.
Choosing the wrong person and being unprepared is.

And being single doesn’t mean you’ll die alone.
It just means you have time — time to build yourself, your money, your peace, your standards.
Time to attract someone who doesn’t drain your life but actually contributes to it.

So if being single is what’s giving you balance and clarity right now, enjoy it.
Use it well.
Grow.
Travel.
Make money.
Think.
Become a better man.

Because the truth?
When the right woman enters a man’s life, he doesn’t lose himself — he expands.

But until that day comes… Indomie and “something soft” can remain strictly recreational activities.
No future attached.
No fear attached.
Just vibes and self-control.
very intelligent submission.

The truth is; if you dodge your responsibilities, you can't dodge the consequences of your irresponsibility.

And you think everyone that gets married is spending quality time with their kids in old age?

Even in the UK, they have these adult day cares, and sometimes the kids pay for their parents to be there but barely ever visit for months. Talk about lonely! Having kids is such a gamble—sometimes you luck out with good ones, and sometimes they're just not great.

If your uncle has decent insurance, he should totally look into getting a nanny or maybe even invite one of his brother’s kids to come hang out and keep him company. I kinda doubt he’s actually lonely, though.

Namaster:
EXTREMELY stiupeeed comment!

He's irresponsible for not wanting to shoulder the BURDEN of another adult and the children that could result from such a union.

Would you rather he gets married and grow to RESENT his spouse for jeopardising his "Soft Life"?

The OP is a self aware man.
He knows what he wants.
And he's doing things that won't jeopardise it.

He's a GREAT man!

To OP:

Order yourself some SPERMICIDE, Postinor 2 and a box of condoms; then INVITE that girl to come and eat indomie.
All of you saying all of this are probably in your twenties and early thirties. You are all probably just in the struggling phase of life. You have not gotten to that stage of life where you need to be a respectable man with a stable family life to be able to get into the right room with the right people.

You have no need to socialize with serious corporate and business men who have made it in life and will only partner with legitimate family men who have all the trappings of responsibility.

You also are not holding responsible positions in religious and social organizations that will only be given to responsible family men.

You are in that indomie and eggs stage frolicking with small small girls who can be enticed by indomie and coke. 🤣

Society and life can only allow you to hide in that bubble for a bit until you are say 45 tops 50 years, then it would dawn on you that you are a failure.

When you see your friends and age mates who choose the high road with their kids grown up and doing well, living respectable lives and holding respectable positions, then it would dawn on you that you have wasted your lives in loose riotous living.
Then you will understand that society and life shows no mercy to underachievers.
Re: Being A Single Man Is One Of The Best Things To Keep Happening To Me by Prince16: 6:49pm On Dec 10, 2025
Bro, chill biko; grin there's no guarantee that those children/grandchildren will "be around him celebrating him".
What matters most to a man is peace of mind: and the chance of having it is grossly reduced with a wife.

He could even have married early, have kids and d wife turn them against him. Situation like these abounds as well.

If you are blessed enough to raise a family of your own, then do it because if you don’t you are going to regret wasting that blessed life not raising a family of your own when you are older and have no one around you. It can be very lonely at old age. You won’t be able to go to places or do the things you are doing at this younger age to keep yourself occupied and happy.
Don’t mind my rambling, enjoy your single life. Married life is not for the weak.
