If i should advice u brother, marriage is a choice and u came from abroad there are many women who are supportive and have something they are doing for a living too, take ur time and look for that one who will compliment u and the rest will be history beside training a dog to ur standard still need money not NEPA bill broooo. Work on ur mind set that is ur problem not women and when u show them u have money, trust me they will come with their straw but not all but most of them.

Hey nairalanders, what do you think? Is this normal? Marriage doesn't appeal to me at all same as having kids, I prefer having dogs even now i have 2 of them and as soon as I get a job and make enough money I plan on getting 3 more making them 5 in number. I know most people, the first thing they want to do as soon as they get a job is to get married and have kids but not me, I'm also not interested in having a girlfriend, though I used to have one back then when I was in the university but we were forced to leave each other being that she had to go back to her country and I had to come back to Nigeria.
After that I got another girl here in Nigeria, but I had to leave her because she was too expensive and she was draining me financially. After that, I just lost interest in relationships and I decided to be single, I decided that even if I feel the need to lay with a woman I can just go to an ashawo hotel or get a steady woman who I can be calling any time I need company. I think this is the lifestyle that suits me especially in this harsh economy, its easier for me. If I get married and have kids imagine all the money I'm going to have to be spending, excess groceries, all kinds of bills, school fees and the list goes on.
At least having a steady woman to call like maybe once a week can't be as expensive as getting married and supporting a wife.
Also having dogs can't be as expensive as raising kids, with dogs all I need to do is to buy their feed, their grooming products and pay for their medical bills and probably training fees too but with kids and a wife imagine all the bills, the lists keep compiling and they never end.
What is your take on this? What do you think?
When you start making money all these you just typed will change .
Deciding not to get married or have kids is fine but your reasons for such decision is just childish .

Marriage is not for everyone but in your case, I think its more lack of money that's holding you back. Just look at your list of monetary complaints.

Absolutely, but I have an observation;

How come we 'force' the 6-3-3-4 educational system on everyone? I mean there is no basis to force a child to go to school as many people without that privilege are doing very well financially and mentally. One thing I've come to discover about humans is that we are all wired to be selective hypocrites. This minute we feel everyone should do what they like, and the next minute we enrol kids in school because others are doing it (same thing we kicked against when it comes to other issues).

Marriage is more than just getting pussy. Marriage is a bootcamp. It throws obstacles and challenges at you and help your survival skills. I shouldnt say muc because the benefits are endless.

Pets do not talk back at you. When you talk to them you expect an outcome which at all times happen and they soon learn to even obey you at will.

When you substitute pet ownership for human relationship its sign of weakness. You confirm this when you say if you want sex you will got prostitute. A prostitute is like your pet, you pay and she obeys you.

Your wife on the other hand will disobey you most times. You have to bring her to do what pleases you. Its not easy, weak men run away entirely rather than face this necessary challenge.

I speak from experience with two wives.

I don't get lonely, I am a social introvert meaning that I prefer keeping to myself but I still go out to socialize with friends.
And if I die alone and nobody finds me, I don't care no matter how my body decays because I would be dead and I would not feel a thing.

I used to feel the same way too, especially for me that I'm from a very large family with many children born unplanned. I wish to take each child from my three sisters and two others from my steps and give them sound training as I would do for my own children. Honestly, the thought of having my own children makes me feel guilty coz I feel we've had a lot in the family already. But I would need a companion

Not everyone is cut out for marriage and parenthood. These are serious commitments and you will need to be doing them for the right reasons not because others are doing it. The world is populated enough and there are loads of kids out there that need stable homes. Dogs are very loyal pets . I hope you find happiness with your decisions Goodluck.

There is no guarantee that your kids will look after you in your old age. You have got to plan for your old age and not put that burden on your kids.

Even at that, Marriage is not an assurance that your children will take care of you at old age, some people children were married to bad wives who will make their kids neglect them. And again marriage is not an assurance that your wife will see you till your old age.

My advice for OP is to live his life as he wants, don't make any decision that u don't like because it will be you, you and you at the end of the day, another thing is if u are going that part, I'll advise u relocate to a sane country like USA where no one cares or sees marriage as an achievement. There you will live your solitary life in peace with no critics from the Society.
Is not getting married an assurance for anything too? Why not the op kuku end his own life since there is no assurance for anything in life? You don’t live life by that. If we do, no one will lift a finger to achieve anything. undecided

Marriage is not for everyone but in your case, I think its more lack of money that's holding you back. Just look at your list of monetary complaints.
and probably lack of confidence in himself to be able to hold the family together as a man.
