Hey guys, my dating life sulks, I haven't been really lucky with girls ever since my secondary School days. Since I was born I've only dated two girls and that was way back in 2016 and last year in 2025.

I tend to attract more guys, single mothers or older women (very old women tend to like me).
I don't know what's it with me that tends to push away younger girls (note I'm 180cm 60kg) light skin most people say I'm handsome. But I don't know why I can't attract young single girls.

Where ever I go I tend to attract only single mothers and when a young girl even start getting attracted to me I'll later discover that she acts that way to every other guy around so there's nothing special about me.

I'm thinking of going spiritual but I just thought I should post it here first.

So guys I need your advice on this issue pls
Start behaving like a rockstar

It'll even surprise you that this hard to get thing is mostly from Nigerian girls.
An average Nigerian girl will be interested in you but can never make the first move but when you make the move will still be telling you "I'm still thinking about it" even after two months.
bigpriik:
It happens to all guys not just you but they don't talk about it much nothing spiritual about it. when they tell you that gender in complicated you think it's a joke abi? grin
what you don't know is that by default when you ask a girl out her normal reaction is to start playing hard to get, she will want to prove to you she is not cheap so she will test the hell out of you this is where most guys quit.
I will advice you not to be desperate she is testing your confidence to see if you are man enough to handle pressure, let women play their mind games, keep toasting her for at least 2weeks then pull out if she is not reciprocating,If she has fallen for you she will come back for you.

few years ago before I married, girls are the ones pushing me, even 18 years beautiful damsels and their mother's are aware of the maybe because I was virgin then... I could remember one women who loved me so much.. infact she is the one that later find wife for me.. today we have become family friends.. it is more spiritual... just be careful

Bro, every girl will not like you, even if you are Davido

keep searching and try to press small money join your fine look, one will stay eventually

Note: Not every one you like will like you back on same level!
Everyone has his fair share of 'Yes' and 'No' when it comes to babe tinz
You are probably expending your 'Nos' now and may soon hit the 'Yes' I do gree before you know it grin

Seriously, you have nothing to worry about except that you have no serious issues to deal with.
Yesteryears Reminiscence:
We go write love letters (often sprayed with perfumes)
Arrange greeting Cards!
Speak all the grammars while 'toasting' and the babe still fit no gree or just dey shakara person. But if you are persistent and 'hold your side', e go be with time.

Anyways, hope you not a kid that is supposed to be focused on some other productive things for now!

You wey no like yourself
How people wan take like you....
You no even rate yourself at all
Just because people say you are handsome, does not really mean you are attractive

There are more to physical look
Your communication skills
Your posture
Your intelligence level
Your confidence level all count alot.

Stop telling women that you love nor like them.This might seem ideal on romantic movies but they are a turn off in real life.Rather talk and figure out of what you share in common like your goals, values, aspirations etc.

One key attribute you seem to lack that I see is you lack self-confidence. Most ladies like guys who have self-confidence. Think about this thing

The sugar attracts the ants and not the other way round, you need to give more attention to how you coordinate and communicate around girls, you might be an awkward one or are just too conscious of people's behavior (gestures etc) around you that is now affecting your self confidence with approaching ladies of your choice. Try and surmount the self-consciousness and you'll be fine cool cool cool cool
Re: Why Is It That Once I Tell A Lady I Like Her She Instantly Starts Pulling Away? by CorperKola: 12:17pm On May 04
That exactly is your mistake
You dont need to tell any girl you like her
Just give her attention enough
Hang out alone a few times in your crib and then make a move on her
Re: Why Is It That Once I Tell A Lady I Like Her She Instantly Starts Pulling Away? by ElevationD: 12:19pm On May 04
Shishi no dey your pocket. Women go where the money is.

By the way, if older women are attracted to you, it means that you always make yourself available to provide them the pleasure that they need. Your name to them therefore is Mr. Nackson. Dem go use you until nothing remain for your destiny again.

If men are attracted to you, it means that you get big yansh and dem want to help your life for your backside.

It's really weird that this things happen. I'm 43 years old yet girls between 21 to 26 find me attractive. They never let me rest. It has been happening to me right from my 20s it was mostly teenagers then who liked me. I find it hard attracting women in their 30s

You probably are too sweet-tongued for comfort.

Focus on making money so you can afford oloshos. If that doesn’t work, face soapy. Johnson’s baby oil is effective. One drop will send you to heaven every time. Leave confused women and expend all your energy on improving yourself.

women hate neediness. Don't tell them you like them, let them notice it. If they flow with you, get along, if they don't, pull away fast. There are many many options out there.

Maintain your frame as a man and don't act emotional to any woman. Let your body language do the talking, if she reciprocates then fine, if she doesn't, get out fast.

Level up in life and get your money flowing. Women smell success and money like a blood hound. Don't chase them, I repeat, don't chase them. Don't seek validation from them.

They can never be and should never be your source of joy or completeness or peace. You are your own source of joy peace and completeness .

Note that you can never satisfy a woman. Never try to elevate her or please her beyond yourself

You want to go spiritual because the girls you like don’t like you back? What is the “spiritual”supposed to do? Force the girls to like you or make you ice cream to all ladies?

You are either still dependent on someone else for survival or you must be very loaded because you seem not to be facing any actual real life challenges.
Then tell her you hate her. I mean, how difficult can that be?


Thank you for your attention to this matter
