it means a man that will tolerate nonsense from them.look,any lady that makes that statement is set out to misbehave in a relationship hence the need to have a God fearing man that will accomodate her bad character.good trees brings forth good fruit and a bad one brings bad fruit.you cant be good and expect somebody to be good to you.it is in your nature to be good,so no matter how you are paid back,it does not change you.remember,you can only seek for what you dont have.so they are looking for God fearing man when they are not God fearing woman.

onojaford:
Sometimes it could be a mixed feeling. But the God fearing man those ladies mean is a morally sound man. It's beyond being religious. Though most of them can't explain in details, but this is the answer.

A morally sound man won't cheat, because he doesn't like cheating, he won't beat a woman. He is morally developed. They use the term ''God-fearing'' because, religion teach people and encourage them to bear those virtues for the fear of God, however, not all religious people have them.

Ladies percieve them. That is why, a lady looking for the so-called 'God-fearing' man may turn down a pastor because they didn't percieve these virtues that are seemingly the attributes of God.

Ladies should be more definite about what they want in a partner. They should define their man in terms of virtues for the sake of clarity, using ''God-fearing'' is vague.
And they should posses virtues also.

Hmmmm...

You sound very perceptive.

Humility017:

I think you're very right...
I once had who always...love talk such..
and even told me....she can't stay in a relationship without kissing and cuddling...
she makes me know she was just being sincere...and that she can't be wit me...in a relationship and I don't give these...and that she will even go seduce me to yield to it...
I was so devastated bro...
I am really dead up of everything....
I think relationships was not meant for my kind

You can keep your stand, the lady who thinks like you will come by but you must be patient enough to wait for that

tamethem:
A man that they will disobey and yet still love and worship them in their stubonness

The one that will listen to all their advice and a single advice from him they wont take.

A man when they were still dating they visited and never helped to cook or wash plate for but when he marries them they would call " dear please can you join me in the kitchen. Thanks. Please can you wash those plate for me while I make this Eba"

A man that none of his family members must visit their house but her own mother sister and brother would make their house their second home.

A man that keeps a devilish joint account with them that would alwsys need to seek her opinion just to buy himself a boxer's.

A man that she would rain insults upon that will quietly take his shirt and go out and come back home when her madness has subsided.

A man that she would deny sex for months all in the name of shes a carier woman and shes tired after work and would still be faithful to her. Satisfying himself with masturbation because true he doesnt wanna sin.


That is a Woman's God fearing man.

mugunlicious blokes are always every girl's dream, few would admit they could be exasperating, but the sincere ones would let you know they simply needed men who could love them for themselves dimples, warts and all.

Many Naija girls however have adapted God-fearing to mean all the above listed. I can't forget the case of an old Church-going engineer friend whose girlfriend got pregnant for another guy in his house and was still insisting on him solemnizing their union as a condition for her to terminate the pregnancy after which she would now "conceive his own for him" ? Can you imagine? Na so dem dey roll!!

Welcome Bro

They mean some who has moral value, who can discern good from bad and has a conscience that they can relate with.

Are you a woman?

I think women, don't really sure of what they want, that's my observation, they use ''God fearing man'' recklessly and hypocritically, of a truth everyone wants to make heaven but we are not ready to make the corresponding sacrifice, in this age of ours ''God fearing man'' means wealthy, handsome, Kind , lenient, patient and sociable man, the man must also good in bed. So if a woman is a saying God fearing, she's doesn't mean spiritual, or devoted man...Nooooooo, even the so called sisters in the church don't like brothers, they do complain that brothers don't dress well, they are not sociable but will never mention they are not God fearing. my submission is women in general are attracted to or moved by things that have expiring date. Only a few of them that have sold their souls to God are exonerated but 90% is still guilty of this hypocritical use of God fearing man.

This is unbelievable. Did he do that?

They simply mean someone with a good conscience, lead with wisdom, someone who will not be domineering, and someone who won't beat them to pop.

Even runs girls and hoe's are looking for God fearing man...
Not only God fearing...

FemiEddy:
A man that will not beat dem

Gbam!!! Bros u took that right outta my mouth... they believe a God fearing man will not beat them even when they mess up, will not cheat on them and lastly can easily be manipulated at will...( God Fearing Man = MAGA).. I dey wait una

God-fearing man

Agreed it means different things to different women and men for that matter.

A man who is God fearing would love his wife genuinely.

And a pastor is not necessarily a God-fearing man. Being the wife of a pastor also comes with some responsibilities not every woman wants to deal with.

I would assume most peeps here are not married else they would know that marriage comprises of many parts and desiring a 'God-fearing' man doesn't negate wanting a romantic, sexually capable etc. husband.

I would say women looking for God-fearing men should develop characters that make them attractive to the God-fearing men.

And there is a difference between God-fearing and religious husbands...... The later make terrible husbands.

@Maga: I have since realised that any man who genuinely loves his wife is a mugu/maga. We complain of men who are brutes yet complain of men who are not.

They want a man they can control with remote.. the one they can put tracker on and be monitoring while they go about doing as they like.

Well said. They are obviously not married. I endorse the emboldened, Nigerians don't like seeing a man being mugu for his wife _misery sure loves company.

Humility017:

to be honest with you dear...many simply don't know what they want...
I am a guy who believes and practise "abstinence from sex till marriage"
but unfortunately I find it difficult gettin a lady by my side...
I have always loved,care and do all i need to do....
many just love me as a friend but when I wanna go extra mile they decline and take me for granted...
the truth is good people find it difficult upholding godly values in today's present world...
the only guys ladies are mad over are those who go to have sex wit them....then they will be obessed wit the dude...because he has seen them....
real God fearing guys are only needed when marriage come calling definitely not in a relationship because relationships wit such guys to them....are boring being that there is no sex, kissing and petting...

my advise to godly guys....is to keep being good and always know the reason why they're living Godly is because God say so and for their own good and not for the sake of confused lady compromise their stance

Awesome. You just spoke directly to me.
...
You are very correct. They just want us as friends but when its time for marriage is guys like us they want.
Me i have made up my mind. My standard is if you're not a Virgin. Gerraout of my life
Because when i was being faithful you were gallivanting from one d!ck to another

Wow!!! That's another good one.

It means we want someone to see God's wonderful work in us and help us achieve more you don't have to be SU but at least know there is one and treat everyone accordingly

Hey ma'am happy Sunday...What's up.... the question begs for an answer o..a definite ones... God-fearing man. It has become common. i hear American ladies now seek Nigerian men for this kinda quality too...

Destined2win:
90% of the times when you ask a lady the attributes she wants in a man, you will see amongst others, "he must be God fearing"! But what baffles me in actuality is that a lot of them do not act accordingly.

It leaves me wondering if they have a totally different meaning to God-fearing. I know a guy who tried to live to his dream lady's expectation of being a God-fearing young man. He goes to church always and tells the lady, he always talk about the Bible. He doesn't talk about Sex or like things. But at the end, the lady abandoned him for a guy who didn't really care much about church or related things.

Even slay queens are not left out of desiring a God-fearing man yet you see their lifestyle saying completely opposite.

Ladies maybe you can let us understand what you mean when you say, "I need a God-fearing man"!

If there is also a limit to how God-fearing your man can be, please what is it.

Thanks!

People say a lot of things just so they do not sound stupid.. same thing when they say Financially stable, Romantic, Tall Dark and Handsome.. this is a sign that the woman you are talking to has little ambition hence cannot quantify the value or measure of what she claims to sufficiently know when she sees it.

God-fearing is usually relative and constantly phasing in-out based on either how righteous or church you are on certain conditions or whether you just came from your pastors hows.. I am yet to see a God-fearing man

FemiEddy:
A man that will not beat dem

Even if he catches them in bed with another man i guess thats what they mean by God fearing man or maybe the one who doesnt club so they dont get caught in the club or hotel with their Ex since their husband is a pastor holy holy

Niyeal:
A man that will see God and run away

lol! funny you.

Ameeria:
A God fearing man is a man who believes in a higher authority and thus respect humanity. He takes God's greatest commands of : Love God and love your neighbors seriously. This forms the basis of his behaviour and dealings. He needs not be a religious fanatic. All he needs is to live right and treat others right.

The question is who is a God-fearing man

knowing JESUSCHRIST is all about Peace&UNBELIEVABLE power&light #do you sleep peacefully at night without evil oppression&EVIL molestation is our question? behold whoever leads you to JESUS Christ must give you PEACE&empowerment&light that's what JESUS saves and BORNAGAIN or knowing Jesus Christ means&if those are lacking in you then you must seek Jesus Christ truly&be empowered because Jesus Christ owns the power the evil people you fear uses&thats why he said all power have been given to me &I am.the light of the world if you know Jesus Christ the light&power automatically becomes yours same as we are able to share to whoever comes to.us&that's the confidence of mantle authority&our ability to take you to real JesusChrist without suffering you with fasting &night vigil & program upon programmes.test&see that it's very easy to follow JesusChrist . Mathew 13,13-15
