The article you provided has no correlation with the requirements I provided. You provided me with an article of mothers regretting motherhood not one that shows a successful woman 40 and above with no husband, no kids and enjoying her life with no regrets. Furthermore, I don't know why you used Cameron Diaz as an example, she's the worst example you could have used because not only is she married and trying hard to conceive but apparently she's trying to adopt a child, do your research my friend, do your research!

I have made my point and I am quite sure you got it. Like it or not, women differ. Not everyone finds happiness and fulfillment in the running of a family.

I leave you to discern what's fact, fiction and thought. wink
*smiling*
This must be it right?
But before I continue, let me ask. why do you like that ashawo thread? and you even share their convictions, I mean veteran ashawo convictions with me?

Then your diary, (smiling again) has so much of you in it, very little fiction.

You are really transparent to me. I know my followers by their comments on different threads and their shares. I can tell you a thing or two about most of them even though I have never met them offline, they unconsciously leave a trace of their real selves when they post stuff.

I hang out in different spot here in NL. Sometime in poems for review, most times in politics but I've been staying away from there because I always get a ban whenever I spend too much time there.

Funny how people only notice the sexual stuff about me and forget that I've posted more on politics more than any other thing here.

I actually don't know if this is a global thing, but I've come to notice it a lot around people here, especially the guys.

You see a single woman that is successful at what she's doing, and then the next thing that comes to your mind is to start opining that she must be bitter cos she's in her 30s or approaching 40 and not married. These are the kind of people that feel that for a woman, marriage is the biggest achievement that can happen to her. That no matter what a woman has in life, if there's no marriage, then she's not made, not minding the fact that many married women are silently suffering in their marriage.

In turn, this same thought process goes on to affect the woman as she starts getting desperate and starts having a very low self esteem. The pressure gets to the point where they end up going from one church to the other and in so doing may fall into the prey of men solely looking out for these kind of women to exploit. Only those bold enough to shake off the society's expectation of a woman can actually hold their head high and not give a hoot about what anyone says.

Even women can be their own enemies when a married lady starts using another's singlehood to insult her. In my opinion, that is way below being petty. Now the trend is when people see fine pictures of single ladies on social media, the next question is "where is her husband?", "...who go marry this one wey don reach 30something?", "...too bad that she's this rich and fine with no husband"... poor reasoning I.M.O.

Ladies/Women, your first priority when it comes to happiness is yourself, and not to cater to the happiness of the society. Granted, you may have wanted to marry in your 20s, but if that isn't /wasn't the case, why go on killing yourself about it? Develop yourself the more, be beautiful to yourself, get that money rolling, the career moving, that business booming. If need be, get a baby papa and get yourself pregnant and train the child yourself!. If teenagers can have unwanted pregnancies and still see the child through childhood, successful women can surely do better!

While that last part may not lie well with many, my point still is that you shouldn't go through life thinking having a husband would be your guarantee to having a fulfilled life. Having a great family is beautiful, if you don't have one, align your priorities and have your options open as to what really you CAN DO to make yourself more happy with YOUR LIFE.

Lol. You know how to look for trouble sha. Then you make flirtatious comments and wander off to another section where you engage someone in a heated argument after which you update your diary for the day.

Usually, your update is inspired by one of your NL argument or discuss.

Because, getting married is one of our social and even religious responsibility..
People tend to view unmarried adult (male and female) as socially irresponsible.

Though, marriage is not everything but we should endeavor to fulfill our responsibility!
like the OP said we should focus on things that makes us happy. that is our responsibility.

Hmm. Well may be you're right and may be you're wrong. I'm just being me.

My flirtatious comments and my sex poems have made some female monikers brand me a 'womaniser'. Its a marvel they chose to see just that when there is all of me in politics section.

Anyway, my diary updates its not inspired by the happenings here, the updates I made today happened for real, your use of the word feminism made me remember my last update. And it was just to juicy not to put down.

Funny any time I see any one of those girls they never talk to me, even when I say hi, they ignore me. Like how is it my fault? Lol.

Lie, many of the people who accomplished so much in the world never even married . Success means different things to different people.the important thing is to let people live the way they like. Even when you say successful marriage what's your definition of successful marriage? How many Nigerians marriages with all the cheating qualify as successful marriages

Yes marriage is important and essential but you should get married because you want to and not because society has said you must.

The castigation of unmarried females in Nigeria and Africa as a whole is inhumane.

so, you mean a woman will have money, success, fame, etc etc, in short, have it all, yet still whine because "society", after admiring all that, asked about marriage?


It is now an insult to mention marriage instead of worshipping the said woman?

amazing.

why not focus on your riches, fame, popularity, etc instead of bothering yourself with what people say. This is why I was surprised Linda considered "disgrace" as being told an expensive bag she bought might not be the real thing?

No wonder some foreigners are being told Nigeria has no poverty, and they believe it. There are two Nigerias it seems, a rich one and an invisible poor one, depending on who's looking.

No! Anybody can be unhappy either married or not, it's all about perception but when it comes to regrets more people are left without regrets when they experience a happy married life filled with a child or children than those who chose to remain single and childless!
