Don't take everything so seriously and start dishing unsolicited advice. Young girls are allowed to dream and evolve.

Well said bro!
They think a man with all the qualities they desire will automatically find them attractive.
Forgetting the fact that really high quality men are also very picky.
Ultimately it is the man who has the final say if a lady stays or leaves.
Women are gate keeper's of sex while men are the gate keepers of relationships.
InvertedHammer:

It is always good to have standards.

But can you attract your standard?

Will the man with the standards you desire find you interesting enough to date? That's the puzzle that reality throws at selective ladies.

A lady can only have a man she can attract; a man can only have a lady she can afford.

"That's why y'all get deceived easily" seemed like a pretty straightforward derogatory statement to every woman on this thread.

Well I was attracted to mostly foreign people at one point all my crushes had Curly and wavy hair and I didn’t have to bed them all ....it wasn’t a complex Just attraction some too fine for comfort sef I was so shallow walahi and they were slim in size. I just had a preference sha. I actually dated people like movies and theme park type excursions. I loved muscles until investigative discovery made me understand sometimes they can be used against you o so I crossed that off the list when looking for a partner

I think I just loved physique and character and as a woman you also have to keep in shape so I joined gyms till I moved back home and only one person dey my antenna since keeps me in shape

Bottom line Kindness, Sympathy and Supportive Strength takes the cake before looks and background for me that’s what changed. The Character is something your children will inherit so I look out for that as well. Good people always mean well.

After reading lots of romantic novels and watching American best seller movies...
I just told myself he must be very handsome, must be light skinned, must know how to sing, must have gap teeth, broad chest, small sexy eyes and pink lips....
But now.. Lol
The reverse is the case oooo.
Just have sense and be creative. ..

Lol, I never had those high expectations. I was just okay with love. I always loved them sensible, I have a very soft spot for engineers and a softer one for people in IT, good-looking, respectful...etc, nothing extraordinary.

I wasn't into romantic books, neither did I watch such movies or even listen to love songs. Found them predictable. grin

Now that I am older, my physical and character expectations in a man is very much the same- but the financial part is a whole lot strategic. Don't tell me you love me or have potentials, Jesus loves me too. So, I need to see how he is going to compliment me. I also need him to have some money. We would meet halfway.

Every man requires a level of submission/respect from his wife. If I am going to be doing that, it has to be worth it. wink

The days of "what are you wearing?" and "shey you will not come and know my place" is long gone.

If you truly love someone, you won't know why you love that person. True love doesn't allow you state the reasons why you love that person. You can't just tell why.
If you love someone because of what he has or probably, you saw what you've been searching for in him, that love may not last because the very day that 'reason' vanishes, that love dies and unknowingly or knowingly, you lose interest and the moment you see the 'reason' why you loved that person in another fellow, you'll begin to desire that person.

Everything you see may not last forever. There's this peace you get when you meet the right person. In all, let's always pray for a partner that'll help you actualize that Destiny you never knew. Also, be a woman that makes an unprepared man ask God to prepare him.

having read all the comments here, it seems the only quality which is of high desirability is a man's Good look. men that doesn't fall into the category of good looking guys don't have a chance. now I know why I'm still single at 33.

how can I be handsome so that I can have a girl that wants me,??

sorry, ladies. I know this thread is specifically for you. but, I wanna jonz small cheesy


one thing I have known about our Nigerian women (though, not all) is that, they become mature in the head when they are older (let's say in their very late 20s-early 30s) - relationship-wise, though.


from the few comments I could read in this thread, I think my knowledge about women is still much valid and realistic.


women have two types of dream man in their lives: 1) the dream man they have while they are still young, and 2), the dream man they have when they are ready to settle down. this is when the reality has become obvious to them.


well, everybody does have that (men not excluded).


so, reading from women in this thread, I have learned one or two things more about how women choose their men and make their choices when it comes to being "real" with themselves.


this is why I can't, and won't court with a lady younger than 26yrs old (yeah, in my early 30s), cos I know the stage when a woman start thinking and acting like a real woman and when they think like a 'girl', this is not hard to know anyways.



I also got to know how some women take sexual capacity of their dream men into consideration. wow! this is one of the things already in place, and I pray it matches my future woman's grin grin cos I can't stand a woman who complains about a man being sexually active and strong. this one can cause wahala grin


also, the financial, intelligence and appearance aspects, I thank God I'm not lacking any. but, there is "but" here grin


and the 'but' is: if you are looking for a man who is politically intelligent, pls, I'm not your dream man. cos my hatred for politics is second to none. almost failed government subject in high school but thank God grin. also, not too conversant with foreign affairs, but at least, I know some.



kai! make I stop my jonzing here ooh, before them start throwing bottles at me. grin grin


please, I'm not looking for a wife ooh.
cos I know some people would wanna say that I'm stylishly looking for a woman here.
please, that's not my purpose here.


if you can understand my ziggy, you should know that I'm not one to be your dream man.
so, please, I aint looking for a woman here.



good morning, ladies and gentle men.

this is beautiful.


I really love this.



but, one thing you cant leave out is what attracted you to a man or woman.


the eyes must see it before you get attracted to it.


nobody can love u for no reason, pls.

there must be a reason for loving you, but it must be a love of 'I love you wholeheartedly'.

Hahaha!

Are there really dumb personalities ? Or just people with whom you don't have shared interests.

It's funny how we Nigerians tend to reduce intelligence to being able to "hold conversations on International politics/economics".

What if that is not my Kettle of fish? I become dumb?
What if my interests are in Deep sea exploration or Big data analytics or even recent developments in cancer research ? Can you also have meaningful conversations on those?

Some see International politics/economics as pretentious conjectures, where everyone is an expert — while the subject discussed is completely outside the control of the discussants.

Ego may be what's at play sometimes.
It forces some of us to indulge in interests we don't really care about deeply.

It always seems nice being able to make "contributions" to public discussions on int'l politics but it shouldn't mean those who can't/don't are dumb.

Intelligence is not as effective as people imagine though. I would always prefer resourcefulness.


God help us.
Great comment.


I think some of the revelations on this thread should be good reasons why guys looking for a wife should never marry any lady below 27yrs, because it seems ladies start developing real sense as they mature in age.

The revelations on this thread could also be another reason why guys don't find it difficult to marry; all they want from boyhood is a beautiful girl with home keeping skills, nothing more and the guys know that for them to get that beautiful girl they dream, they need to make money and become financially okay, so they prepare to make themselves the dream man of their future partner by focusing on money making to improve their financial life.


While the ladies only daydream of meeting a super man without preparing themselves to be the dream woman of their dream man, which is why most ladies end up not getting their dream man at the end; their dream man may meet them but will see them as a girl not good enough for him.


We posted a similar topic on our official WhatsApp status last night and the response we got was amazing. See screen shots below.
