Kalulu44:
Lolz! I'll be 46 by September 10.
Honestly eh nature cheats me badly. You can see at my age I still don't have matured beards.

Cum4me:
Omo you be old man oo. See you see 50

SuperOnyi:




Boss @Kalulu44, you're actually doing great. Original thoughts like your post are what made Nairaland so enjoyable when I first discovered it. You remind me of the old Nairaland so don't ever listen to any of these sûckers telling you otherwise.

You see that "sir, sir" pandemic? It's everywhere but I remember when I was a teenager, I hung around with dudes older than me, and I hated telling people I was a teen so I faked my age to get menial jobs and ensure there's no disrespect. These dudes respected me and believed I was older than them in some cases .

I couldn't wait to be an adult and now here I am, and everyone now refer to me as 'sir.' But the difference between us is, I'm not even bothered, I have never bothered about women. I'm more bothered about the fact that I'm almost in my mid twenties but getting into a relationship has never seriously crossed my mind.

When you generate more reasons to wake up everyday, you discover that oxygen is the reason we exist but purpose is why we live.

You said you have a lot of free time and you read a lot, why not take on hard subjects like physics. Why not challenge yourself to work on a project? This is how I give my life meaning and never worry about the fact that these beautiful young girls now call me "sir." I also dress "old school" but it doesn't bother me because the soul never gets old.

I still feel 16 inside of me, I still feel like a child. The problem is, you tell yourself you're old, and it bothers you. When I was a teenager, people said I looked like I was in my twenties. Now, I'm in my twenties and I still look the same and people are surprised how my face hasn't changed at all.

Also, start working out, dress nice, smell nice, and stop telling yourself you look old. Most women even get more interested when they realize you have grown up kids at a young age. You're actually very lucky.

Stop telling women your age and when you do, do it proudly with a sense of humor. Stop telling women your romantic desires, go with the flow, send signals without being creepy, and stop making it seem you're dying of loneliness. You really need coaching, bro.

You shouldn't have told her that on paper. Women these days don't understand that romantic gesture. You should have either used mystery or humor to disarm her while still ensuring she respects you. You have elevated her above your level and told yourself you're too old or broke for a woman like her, don't do that.

And even if she starts staying away or tell you that she isn't interested, just move on like a boss. You'll thank yourself for that in the future. If you tell her again, she will have leverage over you. Remember she already told that guy she's with someone else. Just go with the flow, bring in humor, and don't tell her or act like what Gen Alpha would call a hórny Unc.

P.S. You don't look like you're 40. You actually look younger. It's all in your head.

Nnamdipapa:
Thank you sir for writing your stories. We really appreciate sir. God bless you sir.

ogidiherbsman:
You sef be using ma ma.ma ma for them

happney65:
O fe do awọn omo yen ni.

However nothing bad in ko do awọn omo yen. But you claim you're a father of 3kids already,why are you now afraid of officially asking a woman out?

Why is it a big deal?

Abegi do the do so that eyin mejeeji le ma do ara yin as soon as possible

Lobatan.

untoldtruth:
Ah, SIR. Try to find one widow around your age to settle with na, why you trying to....anyways. It is well, SIR 😁

gerizzim:
why not do this thing in a more dignifying way. look for am advance single lady or a widow too and wrk tins out dt way. In the real sense of marriage.

One dt will stay with you permanently to be ur companion Dan all these pay as you go gals. this ur approach will drain you of resources trying to keep maintaining these gfrnds.

Moreover, will you approve your 17yrs old daughter to date a single dad of 56yrs your age?

If you can not proudly introduce dt 28yrs old gal your eyeing to ur daughter as a side chick or gfrnd, den dnt push this ur amorous overture's further. Think about this

Sirhush:
Why not give it a tryer by asking her out, who knows she may like you too

Kalulu44:
I did by sending a note to her but she has since kept silent and haven't said anything about the note. And I don't want to push further

Sirhush:
Why sending note in the first place when you can talk to her one on one. Who knows she may grant your wish 🤞

BigYash:
I no sure say na Benin bon this one. So you no fit follow women talk? Kai

GodHimself:
Since you like writing, instead of writing love letters, write short romance stories about fictitious characters.

Give the women your draft to proof read. Tell them you want their opinion. Watch what happens.

And with time, it can even become a source of income.

Kalulu44:
Good day ladies and gentlemen of the great NL house!
Before I go into the main gist. I want to first apologize to those who thinks I write stories too much and they're sometimes long and boring to them.
Let me introduce myself first. I'm a single father of 3 who lost his Benin wife to their Japa syndrome since 2010 and never seen or heard from till today.
By God's grace, after 20yrs of driving commercially to survive and train the kids, I formally retired last year. Not bcus the job wasn't lucrative, but bcus I was warned to stop after having some series of severe back pain, neck pain and leg pain.
Thankfully, before retiring I managed to win over a hired purchased bus that's fending for my 3 kids who are staying with my aunt who at 60+ doesn't have a husband nor a child.
Not wanting to stay idle, I currently work as a security personnel at a Guest House from 7pm to 11pm, while taking care of the owners house which is just beside it during the day. The owner is in US. So I practically stay in the big house all alone. Honestly there's no much work for me to do there other than weeding and cleaning the compound once every week. The rest of the day is just for eating, browsing and sleeping. Not wanting to be lonely and depressed is why I am almost online everyday, writing stories and gossips about my surroundings.
Like I always said, 90 to 95% of my stories are real life stories with the other percents like adding maggi, salt and spices to make it sweet or interesting.
I love writing, reading, driving, music, movies, sports especially football and watching documentary on history and biographies.
.
Now to the main gist. I lived and work in an area fully surrounded by hostels occupied by students and youths working in Chinese companies in Ogun state.
Electricity in the area is epileptic and comes once every week. Luckily for me, due to the guest house, I have 24/7 light from either solar or generator which makes water abundance for me.
But the students and workers are not that lucky. So majority of them always looks for where to charge their phone and also gets water.
When lights come, they normally pump water in their hostels, but it doesn't last more than two days.
Like two to three compounds normally used generator to pump water where they always go to. Sometimes the owners of those places allows them, sometimes they rejecting them.
Another only source of water in the street is a well at the extreme end of the street, it's stressful for some of them.
.
I started working where I am now January this year, but I always stay on my own and just observing the students and workers.
For me to make friends with some of them, I started getting water for some of them that usually greets me. If I see they have walked and walked looking for water and didn't see, I will just tell the person to drop his bucket and then go inside and get water from them.
But anytime I do this, they always thank me with sir sir.
One among them, who was learning hairdresser and selling men clothes online, approached me one day and begged for her to use my compound to make videos of her clothes.
I obliged her and ever since then which was February, we have been friends.
.
With time I began to like her, but her constant good morning sir, good evening sir just like the other girls used to greet me always discouraged me from telling her my mind about her.
After Easter my phone got spoilt and for close to 3 weeks I didn't have chance to go to Lagos and repair it.
And it was the time my feelings for her became strong.
I didn't know how to approach her, so I used the opportunity of her giving me her phone to charge for her to write down my feelings for her on a sheet of paper and attached it at the back of her phone.
.
When it was time to collect it, I told her there's a note I attached in her phone that she should read it. She collected it, thank me and bade me goodnight sir while bowing down a little as a Yoruba girl she's.
Hoping to get answer the next day, even though I was apprehensive on how she will take or react about it.
My people, this is 3 weeks now since I wrote that letter and she hasn't said anything or confronted me on why I wrote such notes.
But we have been greeting and talking to each other since the next day after the note till date, and both of us pretending such never happened.
I said to myself once I repair my phone, I will send her a msg asking what she thought about my note and why hasn't she replied.
I got my done last week, and I still don't have the courage to ask her both in person or thru msg.
.
But there's a reason why I haven't.
In between those times my phone was still spoilt and the note sent to her. There was an electrician who came to do some repairs in my compound sent by my boss.
It was same time she too came to do videos of her clothes in my compound. The electrician told me he like her that I should run her for him. I told him I can't that he should go himself.
So he used the guise of wanting to buy her clothes and approached her.
I sha know they exchanged numbers.
This was 2 weeks ago, so last week when the electrician came to finish his work, he ask me of her. I told him I thought you collected his number the other day. He said he did, and that he has bought clothes of 30k from her.
But that when he tries to pushed further about dating her, she told him she has a guy.
.
Hmmmm.... I heave to myself and asked him his next line of action. He said he'll pushed further. I just mutter the words ok o.
So since that last week, hearing she has a serious guy, (even though she hasn't brought any guy home or any man came looking for her unlike some of the other girls)
It just makes my resolve of asking her what she thinks about my note weak.
But we do see and talk everyday, but her constant "es'e sir, ekaro sir" always puts me off. I don't know if she's deliberately doing that so I will know she respects me as an elderly person. By the way she's 28 while I'm in my early 40s.
.
To the other girls, I am getting closer to some of them. But they too wants to kill me with sir sir sir, and thereby knocking me off of asking any of them out. All these is bcus one of my child a girl who's 17 came to visit me one day.
But the truth is I am seriously lonely, bored and depressed at times. If not for NAIRALAND and Sportsnews and YouTube, only God knows what I would have done to myself. I really need one of them as an acquaintance and if it can lead to a serious relationship, I am ready for it.
Just that I don't know how to go about it with the over respect they're according me.
.
So I am asking for womanology experts who knows how to go about this to give me some tips. The pictures attached to this post are mine, am I too old in the true sense of it or what. Cus physically I look young and agile to most of the guys I see some of them hang around with and I am not mincing words here. I will welcome any thoughts from you all, both insults and good advice.
After all I made the post to get engagement and discussion to kill off boredom.
Thanks and good day to you all once again.

Wotowotoman:
Ogbeni, if your daughter wey you claim to have carry man wey resemble you come say na him she wan marry, no lie, you no go use koboko chase the man?

Guy, no let anybody deceive you. You look your age. Better leave all these small small girls and go find woman in her mid to late 30s. I no talk forty years woman cos I know say na fresh abuna you dey find. At least 30s abuna never too expire like that na

But if na early twenties abuna you dey find, I no go lie, you go need spend raba o. No two ways around it

By the way, I get serious doubts say you get any pikin. All na scope wey you dey talk so that people no go too insult you. From the way you talk, I am very sure you have no kids. Nothing wrong in it sir. Own it with your full chest. Maybe that’s why you dey find smally so that she go fit born children for you wey no get any challenges. In that case, na to tell your people for village to find you smallie o

Patnome:
Best comment I have read so far

You too get sense

Did you say you are in your twenties?

You reason above someone who is 40 plus

I am super proud of you. Your advice to him is highly spot on

Kalulu44:
Yeah, he was too much in his breaking down of the whole thing.

Patnome:
Adhere to his advice

May God bless you bro

It is well with you sir

This LIFE get as e be sha, but i understand.

While some of Us are avoiding different kind of colours of Signals from Eve's offspring.

I haven't seen that Lady I won't be able to approach, except I don't like her. I have never struggled when it comes to Romance and I pray such thing won't happen to me by God's grace. I will keep Balling till my old age🙏

I don't like to brag, I have a charming look and a good physique which most Ladies would find hard to resist. So I know I have the EDGE already. I'm really grateful to my Creator🙏

It is well Chief, You look quite good. Just try and summon courage and do your thing. Worst will be rejection and you move on SHARP on to the next available client.
