Too many unrealistic expectations. Our ladies should take it easy on themselves.

wristbangle:
Valid points but there are more single guys just that they hiding due to harsh economic situation. Who wants to be a liability father?

tensazangetsu20:
This is a lie. There are 5 men for every one woman out there. There's a man for every woman but there's never a woman for every man.

SmartyPants:
I am forced to think some people are just not clever.

The premise of this argument is that men are getting married but women are not. How can that be?

Given that men do not marry themselves it stands to reason that if they are not marrying or dating the women, then they too are not getting married or are not dating anyone.

The only way woman can be single but men are getting married, and any of the reasons posted above is the cause, is if the men are marrying fellow men.

Take an illustration:

In a world of 10 people, where there are 5 ladies and 5 gentlemen, if all of the gentlemen refuse to get married then all of the ladies will remain single and the ratio of single men to single women remains 1:1. If two of the gentlemen refuse to get married, then two of the ladies will remain single but this means that the ratio of single men to women remains 1:1. Unless the women are getting married to more than one man, or any of the men die, the ratio of single women to single men cannot possible increase.

Unclerukus:
your illustration of men and women standing at a ratio of 1:1 is so wrong. There are more women than men and it would remain like that till eternity due to certain factors like ;

1. Enrollment into the military : more men in military, and high chances of dying in conflict.

2. Dangerous activities : men are most likely to be invol in practices like armed robbery, cultish and join gangsters which also reduce men population on daily basis.

3. Occupation : yes, women also get involved too but they are mostly dominated by men. jobs that induce high levels of stress, kill men yearly.

4. Sexual orientation : women are also lesbians but men are gay too. That also reduce the number of men on the dating market.

It's not just about men refusing to get married, though so many guys aren't interested in marriage, the economic uncertainty in one but also because they know they are spoilt with choices to choose from. Every year, those factors srared above create a huge deficit to the number of men related to women. For me the correct ratio is actually 1:6. Even God predicted all these in the bible, in the last days women would beg men to marry them to bear their name without minding if he has other wives.

gotnel:
I am in agreement with your statement. Naturally, males species are polygamous. One man one wife is not natural.
The only thing I see driving men away from taken more wives is the responsibility involved in nowadays living system.
Out of every ten men you see today, eight of them are having secret affairs with one Lady or even more.
Polygamy system is the only ultimate and natural way to solving this problem of many ladies remaining single .

tensazangetsu20:
This is a lie. There are 5 men for every one woman out there. There's a man for every woman but there's never a woman for every man.

quentin06:
Be honest with yourself, women are more than men in this world. Goto churches, market, schools, hospitals. Except some vocations that arent suited for them like military, mining and field work.

Melian:
I have high standards and I won't settle. However, for the sake of fairness and equity I'm working towards being that person l want my man to be.

If you have ever noticed that there are seemingly more single ladies in Nigeria than guys, you may need to relax with some chilled juice because you are not alone with your observation.

In fact, it has called for serious concern in recent times where the spate seems to be on a fast rise.

Some attribute the improper fraction to the fact that more females are born daily than males amidst the population explosion.

Sometimes, ladies who think they have all it takes to be take up the ‘Mrs’ tag are caught in the web of certain things that keep them with their parents longer than they anticipated.

This brings up the fact that it is not always enough to have all the qualities required to become a wife as there are some militating factors that come to play when it’s time to tie the knot.

To this end, TheSheet.ng deemed it fit to bring to fore some of the reasons why so many girls are still single despite having attained marriageable age.

HIGH EXPECTATIONS:

Sometimes a handful of ladies await their potential suitors with high expectations and end up scaring them away when they eventually arrive.

Ephemeral things like money, cars shouldn’t form the basis of choice for a life partner but sadly, a lot of ladies are neck deep into such expectations.

ETHNICITY:

The 1914 amalgamation appears to be Nigeria’s bane. The “One Nigeria” slogan is one of the biggest organised lies of the century as there is really nothing ‘one’ about the country despite the fact our 57th Independence Anniversary is only a few months away.

Among the several other factors that stand in the way of marriage for most girls, ethnicity tops the chart. Most times, it is as a result of family influence and when some decide to go against the family standards, they end up stuck and alone with no support from family.

RELIGION:

Majority of the problems encountered in Nigeria today originated from religious differences which make it safe to conclude that religion has done more harm than good in the country. Most people believe that religious compatibility plays a vital role in the choice of life partner and this is the mentality that has kept more ladies in their parents’ homes till date.

AGE DIFFERENCE:

Sometimes, age difference scares women away from the man they truly wish to settle down with. Usually, most potential unions are threatened when the age difference is wide especially when age is telling on either partner.

POOR ATTITUDE:

Well, like Keith Harrell wrote in his masterpiece, ‘attitude is everything’. Some girls though ripe for marriage have delectable attitudes that easily get men on their feet after a first encounter.

Some ladies who are of age just need to improve on their attitudes so as to attract and embark on the journey of forever with ease.

We are in the 21st century and it’s about time people acted like they really are abreast with issues.

Certain choices should transcend beyond the archaic mentality people used to have into something more.
