Only an introvert like myself can understand this man.

Most times, I just love being alone and it has saved me from lots of troubles. Not that I'm a boring person but the idea of being with one person day-to-day isn't really my thing.
Introverts don't even like to see people. Why are you saying you would like to see different people?

Marriage is a complex institution and thankfully it's not mandatory.

Everyone should do as they please.
Actually it is sort of mandatory. Intense societal and parental pressure make it mandatory

Govt should endeavor to make DNA test compulsory in Nigeria
And if the child turns out not to be the man's will government help the mother raise it?

Honestly, I get your point bro. It can be so so tiring atimes, I must confess. It gets worse if your non-virgin partner is toxic or she got bad character. Life go just tire you 😁!!! But looking at it again, marriage is a beautiful thing if you're fortunate to meet that one good, lively, industrious, hardworking, decent and godly virgin woman. But laslas eeh, everybody needs space and a breath of fresh air atimes. I don't know for women but most men need that small space atimes. I have a friend who loves his wife so much but he would lie about going for a business deal atimes, just to be alone. Not because he doesn't love her but men need space atimes.

What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news of DNA test
100% right

I like to sleep alone, it feels awkward when someone is trying to convince me I am supposed to cuddle with her to bed

It's an honest question. You use your ITK to break up a happy, loving family that the father happily provided for. HOW does that benefit even the man talkless of society. In the old days whatever children your wife had were legally your children - even if you were already dead, as long as she remained your wife. So paternity was determined by whose wife she was when she gave birth NOT by sperm. That's a more sensible way. Example, what does it benefit you if you found out your father was not your biological father and he left the family and stopped training you?
DNA testing is not how nature intended things!

That's mentally and spiritually very dangerous seen a couple of old men and women who couldn't even survive a month after the death of their partner.
When you spend the rest of your matured days being with someone...... The person you are so comfortable discussing your issues and health challenges with.... The person that knows the medication that works for you.... The food that is poisonous and virtually your second life? Someone that understands your body language, eye contact and mood?

Except there was no love.....

Nigerians should understand basic English: we make this mistake too often.
Once you use: ''one of '' then what follows must be the plural form',
One of the reasonS ; (not one of the reason)
One of the boyS (not one of the boy)
One of the wayS (not one of the way)
The X user "Yabaleftonline" got it right, it was the guy who made the video that made that grammatical error.

Just throwing out words because they sound cute to you. Define "accountability" for us.
Can't you see that some of your forefathers might not have been your biological forefathers? All through history there has not been DNA. Sometimes, unbeknownst to them, the most successful child is not even a biological child of the father but he gets all the accolade as his father and he carries his name and proudly references him as his father.
Can't you see that matters more than sperm??

I personally can't surrender my entire life and totality to anyone no matter how that person loves me that space only belongs to my creator. I love to be free and hate obsession of any nature.

Human beings are creatures of habits and addictions. One of the strongest addictions a person can have is addiction to the presence of another person.
Just as withdrawal symptoms can kill you when the thing is abruptly removed, so also people can quickly die when the partner they'er addicted to is abruptly removed.
But it is addiction not love.
Which is better: to get addicted to someone or not?
Hard to answer. Are the benefits of the addiction more than the downsides?

Quite the opposite. I'm teaching you to THINK rather than going by mindless instinct. Nature gave us strong instinct to have our genes survive exactly like lower animals. That's why men have an instinctive urge to sleep with as many women as possible - thereby guaranteeing survival of their genes.
But you can override that animal instinct with THOUGHT! If you THINK about it, your particular genes surviving benefits you NOTHING. What's important is that you are father to a well-raised child who respects and references you as his father!

I'll prefer to refer to it as love rather than addiction.... Addiction is negatively viewed while love is unconditionally acceptable for feelings and doing without the person you vowed to spend the rest of your life with.
