@Duggedised12, you are incisive, have an engaging sense of humor (which is more common in intelligent people than not), really well-spoken and can stand up for yourself. I am not totally surprised that you are single in this clime, where the things most men look for in a woman are typically empty, shallow attributes lacking in any substantive cerebral value.

I am male, not moslem (at least not yet. lol), comfortable in most ramifications of the word by reason of a good career in IT nurtured in firms that pay well above average salaries and spanning 10 years of my not-so-short life... plus, hell yes, I am more single than a solitary matchstick in a box , probably for pretty much the same reasons that you are.

You seem to be someone i'd enjoy having in my corner... not necessarily in a romantic sense (even though I definitely am not averse to this). Why not let's hook up and see if we click enough to fly? Send me an email at mindthing@gmail.com if I have tugged any one of your heartstrings free

izzou:


But the "responsible" ones sef no see husband or wife.
Abi you no notice am?

Yes, it is true. But then, that will be a case of not meeting the perfect match. That meams they have been meeting good people- but 1/2 factors might not be very compatible. This case is very normal. At least we can sleep knowing that all hope is not lost...

Truthsbitter:
They might probably be right.

I am possibly a male version of you, I don't like girls I have find myself dating... it's either they match my physical taste and they have good intellect but amiss in character, or they are of good character, high intellect and not sexually or physically attractive, or they are sexually, physically attractive and they also have good character but of low intellect ( mostly they can't hold a logical and meaningful discussion ).

until I realised that i myself might be the problem, that I should be more understanding to the perspective of others. then I realised that compatibility to a complex mind is making effort to understand the less complex mind.

I am not accusing you of being faulty I am only saying; live life more freely and make effort to understand all situation from a more beautiful aspect and from the standpoint of both yourself and the other person(s) involve.

unsentimental love most times is a sacrifice .

Thank you for ur perspective...it made alot of sense to me.. compatabiliity to a complex mind is making the effort to understand a less complex mind..I have always wanted to settle with someone who would match me head on intellectually but so far the otherwise has always been the case, if I go by ur advise making an effort to understand a less complex mind doesn't that mean been in a world of my own when I yearn to share the contents of my mind with my partner?

IamaNigerianGuy:


I'm single so I can speak to this.

I think the situation is more complex than you give credit. There are few opportunities to meet people nowadays. Especially if you have an occupation. In addition, meeting them is one thing; matching for shared interest, religion, age, socioeconomic class, intelligence and god-knows-what-other factors is another.

We need to embrace singles clubs and bars in Nigeria or some such arrangement.

My point exactly. Good people will keep meeting each other, I do not think that part is difficult as people make it look. It is the other variables that are the problem.

lefulefu:
See op dis one na simple issue nau. First mingle with the young men around d area where u reside then pick a focused young man wey catch ur attention then build a relationship with him then marriage will come. Some of the reasons wey dey cause a babe to still remain single is wen she too dey date different men at once. Only u go dey run 10 men package at once dey cast urself here and dere. Tell me wich man go take such a girl seriously. All wetin men go dey take such a girl do na to dey chop and clean mouth. Another one wey dey cause singlehood na ladies wey no dey interact with ppl.24/7 u indoors and u no dey interact. D only interaction u do na only facebook and tell me wich serious man dey facebook. Most men wey dey search for partners on facebook are mostly married men looking for free level to chop...u hardly dey see a single guy searchinh for a partner on facebook. So sister just go out and dere and interact with guys and choose ur spec and also do away with ur deeper life type of dressin if u dey dress like deeper life and try loose a little weight if maybe u overweight if i bet u b4 dis year runs out u will get ur dream man. Thats all it takes to get ur partner..e no hard my sister.

Duggedised12:
poor ladies, I feel for them ,it must have been people like you who make up the crop of people around them, mean, evil, calous with words and uncouth, but guess what , I am duggedised, I sure have seen worse monsters than you, so dont bet on it.If for anything, I wont give you that satisfaction so you can jerk off on bro. Peace! .

And yes ,I am allowed to rant ,its my rant ,I hope your life is perfect ,so crawl back to it ,and let me rant in peace

h

Like your spirit babe. You man will soon find you.

Duggedised12:
See ehn, na single I single ,I nor kill person o. Why do I have to be looked down on because I dont have a ring on my finger , ladies that are younger than me are more respected just because they are married, its even worse if they have kids,chai! I don suffer .


Guess what ,its all my fualt ,so society says . If a woman gets to a certain age and is not married,its all her fault, according to society, she probably doesn't know how to keep a man, she probably doesn't have good home training ,she probably was doing shakara when she was younger and the list goes on but guess what if a guy in his late thirties isnt married, he probably hasn't found the right woman yet . sighs!

when you refuse the cock from ridding you, how can you lay eggs, be submissive and calm only then the cock will make a mating dance towards you

pocohantas:

.

It's not so easy. I think meeting women is easiest in university and nysc and gets more difficult each passing year.

pocohantas:


I thought I am the only one pondering this o. Maybe they all need to change their circle and/or lower their expectations.

I believe if you are a responsible person, it is only normal that you will be surrounded by your ilk na or at least, know where or how to find them. Abi?

It used to so but these day the narrative don change

Duggedised12:
DM

Lol....MY DEAR ...dont even think dis is d right place to get solutions to problems o.....i am a boi....WAT I SEE SITTING DOWN ..U CANT SEE EVEN IF U CLIMB ON TOP THE MOUNTAIN...

Nice advertisement.

Unfortunately (for you), once an evening newspaper; always an evening newspaper!

It's like a curse that can never be reversed!

As for me, I AM STILL SEARCHING FOR THE RIGHT BITCH!

Duggedised12:
The family budget of any marriage should be based on the income of the husband ,what a woman brings to the table should be to support.That is why women are called "helpers".

No wonder!!!

In other words, the woman might be bringing in absolute ZERO to the table, and everything will still be expected to be alright abi?

I can now see the genesis of your problem clearly...

Kazeemakeem:


interested in you if u dont mind but i stay in Nigeria,EmaiL kazeemakeem@yahoo.com or watzap +234770364403

hmmmm

Kingsteve:
Op, at least you for upload profile pic, make people see as you be small.
I'm not saying you will find a relationship via this platform, but you never just know.

I empathise with you though.
I have one Fulani sweet chic in her early 30's.
Cash dey overflow her side, very slim and beautiful.

She spends most of her time abroad...Dubai in particular, but the problem, she's not married yet.

If not for the complications, I swear...I no for mind marry that chic.
It's a sad situation though!

abeg matchmake me and d Fulani gal

It's not just in Nigeria, it's everywhere around the world

obowunmi:
Being a single woman in Nigeria is very, very terrible. Your parents treat you badly, friends abandon you and even strangers don't stop with the insulting comments.

Be strong, I truly hope you find someone.

ImaIma1:
I am tempted to share my cousin's story.

She's over 40 and will be wedding very soon to a man who has never been married before. She has met family members and they love her. She's a wonderful person that went through a lot.

Forget what society, people and Nairaland guys say about being an evening newspaper, old cargo...blah blah... Thankfully, what happens eventually is not in their hands

hmmm, May God help her ooo..but pls wen does menopause starts? 45yrs Right?

I really enjoyed your three rants... It made giggle and reflect myself. I'm sorry you experienced such betrayal, it's fine and what's meant for you will find you. I noticed it went over 90% of their heads going by the comments on page 1(it bought me back it was depressing to read the way they respond to your rant) but thanks for the laugh.

I believe one day real soon you too will laugh about it. Just focus on the lessons this experience taught you and be brave and jump back in... You're wiser and stronger at the very least.

You fall my hand sis!

I thought you were woke... It's your home and your family too. Don't you think you guys would have an amazing marriage if you both bought 100 to the table?

I think this "helper" title works when she's 18 and not 28 lol! You've spent all this time building and perfecting your craft and then you pass the reigns on to someone else

Come now...

But then again there's someone for everyone

This is why you are single and you will remain single. That 'helper' claptrap just doesn't fly anymore sussie.

Y u dey vex like this? We know u not bn married might not be ur fault. Maybe u ve not seen the guy ment for u or r u in the feminists category that say they can do without a man in their life? If so na u cause am o! But all the same God created man and woman, he had a reason for that.

Duggedised12:

Now we understand y u r still single.

It is your type I want but I'll definitely not find you where you are.

Duggedised12:
lol, i get where you are coming from but the truth is there is no particular place to find a man with "exposure". Even in an intellectual society e.g an educational institution ,exposure is relative. A phd holder can be obselete in current day knowledge.

Having watched alot of documentaries on "mail order bride". I have come the the conclusion that even in the midst of women like "waking into a candy shop" some men still wont make up their minds or spot what they are lookin for.So intimidated or not ,a man who doesn't know what he wants ,exposure or not still wont know how to act even if you throw him in a pool full of women.
Infact there was one guy that made the social trip to ukrain 6 times in 9 years before he could snag a bride.And this is a party where you have 200 single women and 20 men,lol.

And come to think of it, why would intelligence intimidate a grown ass man?shey he wants to have dumb children ni

smeag0l:

You just quoted her. You are on Nl, she is ok NL. Where do you want to find her again?

Sharp shooter
