We struggle with accountability. When a marriage ends in divorce, many of us are quick to blame the woman without even knowing the full story. We often assume it’s due to her bad character, love for money, or other flaws—even when the man may be the one at fault. When a woman is between 30–50+ and unmarried, we judge and label her. We assume it’s because of her past, her character, or her choices. Yet when a man is 49–60+ and unmarried, we make excuses for him, downplaying the same factors we criticize in women. The double standard is obvious. We shame and reject single mothers without understanding their stories—whether their situation came from hardship, abuse, or mistakes. Meanwhile, we praise single fathers and say they can still marry anyone they want. When a woman rejects a man’s romantic approach, instead of respecting her decision, we jump to conclusions—calling her materialistic or claiming she “doesn’t like nice guys,” without knowing her reasons. Let’s be honest with ourselves: many of us lack character. We avoid self-reflection and accountability. Yes, some women have their faults too—but as men, we must start looking inward and doing better. Growth begins when we stop pointing fingers and start taking responsibility. |

I don't agree with you at all! Society also label and call men all sort of names when they get to certain age and still unmarried. * If he's struggling they would mock him that he isn't capable of taking care of himself and he's talking about marriage. * If he's doing well financially and decides to stay unmarried they'll say he's a ritualist. Etc |

Nice observation, Both genders have their own fair share of the blames, at least in the current dispensation. You really need to go outside the more. |

Bahamas95:Which society mocks men for not getting married and at what age? |
| Re: My Concern About Men Nowadays by Dtruthspeaker: 9:55pm On Apr 13 |
Woman don take man moniker to yarn her rubbish. Woman, it is always women's fallt. You people are too too even three bad that any man who has sense or wants to have sense should never think of dating any of you not to talk of making the mistake of marrying you people. |

Bahamas95:It's your opinion though. There are always two sides of a coin. I just felt like addressing the one that concerns women today. |

SyrusdeHansome:Simple Question for You: Who Tends to Loose More in every relationship? Who Tends to Loose more in every relationship? |

This is the dumbest post I have ever come across to. Do you think a man and a woman is the same? Women gets mature early far more than men. A girl of 16 already knows what she is doing should a guy approach her. A woman's prime starts at 18-23 and it expected of her to get husband at such age and settle down. A man's prime starts at 30 and above. Please enough of this discussion |

Goo0dHardDick:Let's not deceive ourselves bro. I'm a guy and you're a guy and we both know that most times we only woo girls just to sleep with them and not necessarily because we're ready for marriage. Tell me the truth, why haven't you married any of those girls u slept with? Is it because they were all bad or simply because you weren't ready for commitment? Some of you will most times come to nairaland and form what you're not in reality. What's that thing that first come to your mind when you see a new girl? Is it commitment or sex? Is it marriage or sex thoughts? |
| Re: My Concern About Men Nowadays by SyrusdeHansome(op): 8:49am On Apr 14 |
tanigororo:Both. It depends on how see it |
| Re: My Concern About Men Nowadays by lilvicky68(m): 10:10am On Apr 14 |
You see these kind of topics, e no dey ever get end if we enter the discussion |
| Re: My Concern About Men Nowadays by Goo0dHardDick: 10:15am On Apr 14 |
SyrusdeHansome:What's the first thing that comes to a girl's mind when a guy woos her? Is it not sex and money? You're not logical at all. I don't engage with emotional dudes in conversation. This is my last response to you. |

Mr man when a man at 40 is broke what do they call him? When a woman is broke what does the society call her? A broke woman gets married and still blames the man for her financial woes but a broke man who gets married can't blame the woman for his financial woes without consequences. Women win some and men and in some such is life don't break your heads but if you want to do that in both scenarios. |
| Re: My Concern About Men Nowadays by SyrusdeHansome(op): 12:23pm On Apr 14 |
ExudeLoveToAll:That’s exactly what I’m trying to point out. The issue is that some of us men aren’t ready for self-reflection. We blame every relationship crisis on the woman while downplaying our own role. Yes, there are many women who aren’t good enough for marriage. But the truth is, from what I see every day, there are just as many men who aren’t ready or worthy of marriage either. Yet when marriages fail, we rarely examine the part the man played. Instead, we quickly place all the blame on the woman. That’s the bias I’m calling out. When a 30-40+ lady is still not married at that age go through the comments of most men even here on nairaland and see whether my point is valid or not. We (both gender) are just too bias when issues like this arises. |

You said a lot without saying anything. Can you make a straight forward idea or thought about what you intend to tell us? SyrusdeHansome: |
| Re: My Concern About Men Nowadays by SmallDick99(m): 7:12pm On Apr 14 |
Ok |
| Re: My Concern About Men Nowadays by Kobojunkie: 8:15pm On Apr 15 |
tanigororo:In Nigeria, the woman loses out the most because the Law does not recognize her contributions(time, efforts, and maybe even financial investment) as part of the marital property by default. A man is literally able to kick a woman(and her children) out of his life without consequence. That is what is obtainable by default in a place like Nigeria to this day. 😒 |
| Re: My Concern About Men Nowadays by Proserpina: 8:38pm On Apr 15 |
If you like take accountability, if you like don't. Nobody cares anymore, the best will be selected. Others we jump and pass. ![]() |
| Re: My Concern About Men Nowadays by tanigororo: 5:16pm On Apr 16 |
Kobojunkie:That's when the relationship goes south, an average Nigeria man is judged by what he brings to the table first. Nobody cares much about any woman financial position before she is ever considered for marriage. The second bitter reality is that: Whenever a Man starts making money the society deem it necessary for him to have a wife. While whenever a woman has money she is advised to stand on her own and she doesn't need a Man. |
| Re: My Concern About Men Nowadays by Tenrack: 5:19pm On Apr 16 |
tanigororo:for the otondo mind e don drop hot topic. Very foolish take. |
| Re: My Concern About Men Nowadays by Kobojunkie: 6:23pm On Apr 16 |
tanigororo:1. You asked whose losses out the most. I answered you by clearly expressing that can only be properly measured when the relationship goes south. 🥱🥱 2. Nobody rightly cares much about the woman's finances because men have the rational option of not needing to care much about that since the expectation has always been that the woman's emotional and physical labor in the union would provide the adequate offset. 🥱🥱 3. Society has many opinions but only fools tailor their lives and dreams according to societal opinions which shift and change with the times, economy, weather and politics. 🥱🥱 4. Nonsense! 🥱🥱 |
