“DO WOMEN REALLY FALL IN LOVE?”

Before some of you attack this thread emotionally, calm down first 😄

This is not a “men vs women” war post.

This is a deep observation about human behavior, attraction, survival, status, psychology, and relationships.

Inside this thread, we’ll be talking about:

• Why status changes how people treat you. • The hidden psychology behind attraction. • Why some relationships feel real until life becomes difficult. • Why many people mistake survival for love. • Why I stopped seeing relationships emotionally and started observing them mentally. • The 3 forces that secretly influence most modern relationships. • And the one relationship lesson I discovered after years of observation that changed my perspective completely.

Read carefully till the end.

The final part is the most important.

Now let’s begin.

I grew up in a very comfortable environment.

Not billionaire level 😄 But comfortable enough that life treated us differently.

My father built houses. My father built a church in Somolu, Lagos. At conferences and gatherings, people treated us with respect. People rushed to carry luggage. Seats were reserved. Doors opened automatically.

As a child, you don’t understand these things deeply.

You just think: “This is normal.”

And because of that environment, getting girls back then was extremely easy.

Very easy.

At that age, I genuinely believed love was simple.

I believed attention came naturally. I believed attraction was pure. I believed people simply liked people for who they were.

I was young.

Life had not educated me yet.

SECTION 1: “Love Is a Lie. This Is the Reason.”

Years later, life changed.

I left home. The comfort reduced. Reality became louder.

And suddenly, the same world that once felt soft became difficult to understand.

Conversations changed. Attention changed. Access changed.

That was when I started observing human beings deeply.

One day, one of my guys told me something that stayed in my head for years.

There was this girl that had been turning him down consistently.

No attention. No interest. Nothing.

Then one day, he borrowed his boss’s car.

Everything changed instantly.

The same girl suddenly had time. The same girl suddenly became responsive. The same girl suddenly became interested.

By the third date, they had already slept together inside the car.

Now pause here.

Most people reading this thread will immediately choose sides emotionally.

Some will say: “The girl is shallow.”

Others will say: “The guy manipulated her.”

But me?

I sat down quietly and started asking myself deeper questions.

Was the guy wrong? Or was he simply adapting to a reality he understood?

Was the girl evil? Or was she responding to status, comfort, and perception the same way many humans naturally do?

That experience changed something inside me.

Not into bitterness.

No.

Into awareness.

SECTION 2: “Why Most People Fail in Relationships—and How Awareness Changes Everything.”

One dangerous thing about growing up protected is this:

You mistake comfort for truth.

You think the world is softer than it really is.

Then reality shocks you later.

The older I got, the more I realized that attraction is not always purely emotional.

Sometimes people are attracted to: • security, • confidence, • stability, • lifestyle, • intelligence, • beauty, • ambition, • potential, • influence.

And honestly? Both genders do this in different ways.

Men may overlook red flags because of beauty.

Women may overlook red flags because of potential.

Humans are emotional creatures pretending to be logical.

And logical creatures pretending to be emotional.

That’s why relationships confuse people so much.

SECTION 3: “The Hidden Psychology Behind Every ‘Perfect Match’—And Why Most Miss It.”

Over time, I discovered something about myself.

I’m not attracted only physically.

I’m attracted mentally.

If all we talk about is: “Let’s eat.” “Send money.” “Buy this.” “Take me out.”

My brain disconnects immediately.

But if I tell you an idea, and instead of just listening, you sharpen it further…

Now you have my attention.

For example:

Imagine I say: “If you place three books on a table publicly, people unconsciously feel like completing the set.”

Then the person replies: “Actually, four books may work better psychologically because the missing one feels easier to complete.”

That kind of interaction wakes my brain up.

That’s attraction to me.

Not just beauty.

Mental sharpness.

That’s why many modern relationships exhaust me.

Too much physical attraction. Too little intellectual chemistry.

Many people can date each other physically… but cannot challenge each other mentally.

SECTION 4: “The Invisible Codes That Dictate Who Stays and Who Leaves in Love.”

The more I observed life, the more I stopped asking: “Who is good?” and started asking: “What influences human behavior?”

And honestly?

Most humans are not evil.

Most humans are responding to: • survival, • insecurity, • ego, • attraction, • fear, • opportunity, • comfort, • pressure, • and timing.

That realization changed the way I judge people.

These days, I no longer worship fantasies.

I observe patterns instead.

And one painful truth I discovered is this:

Reality respects value.

A broke man with confidence still struggles. A successful man with confidence gets listened to faster.

Painful truth. But truth.

SECTION 5: “How Your Past Shapes Your Future Relationships—And What You Can Do Differently.”

Maybe that’s why I no longer rush relationships anymore.

Right now, I’m rebuilding myself quietly.

No pressure. No desperation.

In fact, I’ve gone about two years without sex or relationships, and I’m perfectly fine.

Because now I understand something many people don’t:

Love without stability can quickly become stress.

Some people hate hearing that truth.

But people who have experienced financial hardship inside relationships understand exactly what I mean.

Money is not everything.

But lack of money can damage many things.

That’s reality.

SECTION 6: “The Three Lessons My Mother Taught Me About Love That I’m Still Grateful For.”

As I grew older, life slowly taught me three important things:

1. Never allow emotions blind you completely.


2. Never build relationships only on temporary feelings.


3. Peace of mind is more valuable than forced attachment.



Those lessons stayed with me deeply.

Because the older you get, the more you realize attraction alone cannot sustain anything meaningful.

SECTION 7: “If You’re in a Relationship or Considering One, These Are the Three Forces You Must Know Before It’s Too Late.”

After years of observing people, relationships, attraction, and behavior…

I discovered there are THREE kinds of relationships.

1. Survival Relationships. People stay because they need something: money, security, comfort, status, access, support.


2. Emotional Relationships. People stay because of feelings: chemistry, attachment, loneliness, desire, excitement.


3. Mental-Spiritual Relationships.



This one is rare.

Very rare.

This is when two people genuinely sharpen each other’s minds, discipline, peace, growth, vision, and soul.

Not just romance.

Not just resources.

Alignment.

That third type?

That is the only kind of relationship I’m willing to wait for now.

Even if it takes years.

Because once you experience mental resonance with somebody, shallow attraction starts losing power over you.

And maybe that’s why I no longer panic about relationships anymore.

Right now, I’m still building. Still observing. Still learning people quietly.

Ironically, some of my writings have gone viral online multiple times…

Yet I still remain anonymous.

And honestly?

I like it that way.

Anonymity allows you to study human beings honestly.

No fame distortion. No fake energy. No performance.

Just pure observation.

So after reading all this…

Let me ask you, Nairalanders:

Do you think genuine love can truly exist without money, status, or potential…

Or are most relationships secretly built on value exchange from the beginning?

And which of the 3 relationship types do you honestly believe lasts the longest? 👀

Another wasted time. Useless post see watin u use your hand copy and paste here. Chia Tinubu really finished this country

Una de ask question o, this morning na women n love.

They do, but it takes time. Make her do things for you .
Ensure her natural greedy instincts has been conquered.

People should try and expand their circle abi na circus.

Falling in love, I mean true love is not different from being stinky rich which only few people will experience through out their life time

Those who have never experienced true love before can never have an idea how it feels like.

I don't know about this current generation which their relationship mostly start invisible, if you have your list of love map with no exaggeration, there are still plenty of ladies that will love you for who you are.

So you saw a beautiful lady and have all this wild thoughts, how do you think ladies feel when they also see handsome guy they like?

Why not? Women fall in love.


When a woman truly loves you, you don't need a prophet or babalawo to confirm it.

Attraction by the metabiochemically instigated disorganization of the mind.

Most are just physiological mental breakdowns.

Nope
Can feel attraction buh

Love isnt love, love is commitment

Commitment is a conscious and continuous decision

Yes, they fall in love with money.

It's actually because men are the ones making the first move to bring a woman under a union roof right?
Well then only a very small fraction of women do fall in love unconditionally
The rest are pretenders and mediocres

But another thing is how about men

But just because men makes the first move and efforts to have a woman,
Yet they still cheat on their women/wives despite claim of loving them and don't want to lose them

What kind of love do we call that man own

Early Monday morning. God abeg

Women aren't wired to love
By nature most women are selfish ( this is God given to make her focus on kids and husband and family)

But In this era of corruption it comes out in different ways.
For the most part they more logical than men.
They are somehow used to the emotional game from an early age.
When u completely fall in love she doesn't see love but a useful tool to be manipulated.
U get punished for being foolish.
Bottom line is they can't fall in love because of their selfish nature

Did not read. When I saw the post was longer than five hundred words, it was obvious rubbish would be the conclusion.

I think women fall in love but not with the person, they fall in love with what the person has or does.

Effectively, their love is on a "what can you do for me basis".

So na wetin dey your head this early morning be this

Brilliant post.

Much to consider here.

So many ignorant and dismissive people on this thread hating, but they are only reacting (as you pointed out) to what doesn't sit well with their ego and self-concept.

Thank you.

The movies and novels say so. In reality, I have my doubts.

Beautiful... This is indeed beautiful writeup

Women love temporarily in a manner thatt can be re-ignited. Till u know wat freaks your woman in the manner that you can use it to your advantage, you are game!

Yes,but not hungry women or women who do not have a means of comfortablw living...

In marriage and relationships, men are in love but women are in business! It's when you go broke in your relationship after being comfortable before that you realise that she's with you because of what she can gain.

Even life is not real, we need not pick out any phenomena,,,,,
Everything is influenced by something, healthy today, ill health tomorrow, agile today, aged and weak tomorrow etc...nothing is real....this is what gives me very strong conviction that something somewhere is determining our faith.

They only fall in love with whatever you have to offer.

Yeah dey do
If woman never give you money before or buy you something willingly
Run ooooooo
I say run oooooooo
She no love you.
No matter how much she claim to say it
No matter how broke she claim to be.

Gotocourt:
They do, but it takes time. Make her do things for you .
Ensure her natural greedy instincts has been conquered.

How do you mean by make her do things for you. Any examples?

DrAda:
The novels and movies say so. In reality, I have my doubts.

Spoken like a true woman that understands your gender. So the OP's hypothesis is a credible fact.

Akalia:

Didn’t go through the post. I just instinctively know that our emotions are mostly transactional. What you give is what you get.

DrAda:

I don't like you women for this admission. Even my own wife could be playing along because of benefits the whole time. Geez!!!

Yes.

Nairaland. I only wanted to write "Yes" and move on with my life but you people insisted that I must write at least 20 characters if I want my comment to be posted.

You can see that I have done that.

Thanks.

Anybody can fall in love.
The presence of love isn't the absence of superficial benefits and qualities.

I don't know why men (especially) keep convincing themselves that they are the true lovers because they don't want finances. Whereas they want youthfulness, submission, babymaking, home management, emotional support...etc.

Love has its driving force. It can be tried and tested, but it always has factors that makes it easier on all the parties involved.
