That is the mistake simps make, women want to degrade men n get away with it ...words like be mature, be a gentleman , if i am ur sista are all gimmicks apparently dey don use you. showing class to a classless babe is pointless, alway giv a woman what she dishes out cos that wil b the only language she understands. If only you know d definition of "Mr nice guy" in women's dictionary. i am not asking you to change buh kip to ur lane.

[s]If anyone wanted to know why Nigerian men on average die earlier than their wives, the responses here is one of the reasons.

By the time you add the age differences and combine it with the stress of having to deal with Nigerian women, the most problematic group of women on the planet after AAs, then you will understand it[/s].

Women who are raised in well above average families wealth-wise say this same thing...y'all are very easy to detect. grin

The concept of the older, the more financially capable, does not apply to you...which in all honesty, is really the main reason Nigerian women prefer much older men for marriage.

If maturity was really the motivation, I wonder why they prefer to date & fvck men within their age group (at most 5years older) when they are not yet ready to settle down. cheesy
Well, u don't blame them.
Everybody has their preferences.
Also financial statute is mostly considered as most women want an already made man. It's the same all over the world.
But people like me has lots to put into consideration first before that finance though finance here is subjective.
Money is never an attracting force for me towards a man and when u come behaving like a white knight around me or mompha, that's a big major put off. And this is one of the greatest mistake our ladies make and it sure do backfire majority of the time. So also men.

So I'm not surprised I married somebody within my age bracket. It's not even up to one yr gap.

Good one cool

About the preferences, believe me it's more about the idea of having a financial cushion than just preferences..

Another proof of this (besides the family wealth proof I gave earlier), is when you take a survey on the number of ladies who prefer men who are much older, they are always less than 25/26yrs of age - the age when they have not yet achieved much for themselves. Most are just starting their careers, others are either still students or struggling to find their feet...so it makes sense to be aiming for men who are 10-15yrs older to cushion them financially, it has absolutely nothing to do with sense or maturity.

These same chics, once they cross 30yrs and are still single within the ages of 30-40, they don't ever hope to marry men who are 10-15yrs older anymore. cheesy
At this point, the same age or a just a little more becomes perfect.

Remember, these are the exact same guys who were mature enough to date & fvck at 19-26 but not financially well enough to be married to back then. Suddenly, they become the catch at above 30 and it doesn't matter anymore whether its just a few months or few days older.

Women sha... cheesy
If there was something to be gained in life from learning about you people, I would have suggested a mandatory course to be introduced into higher institutions worldwide.

Alright, lets assume you are 29. So you want to marry a girl of 19 to 22.

Well,I don't know about others but I can't date or marry a man who gives me more than 5 yrs age gap.
It's all about maturity. A man maybe 8yrs or more older but still reasons and behave like a teen.


I love rolling with my age bracket. So I can comfortably yab him and not be overly conscious he is my senior.

I see such men on older bros level. I may even answer him sir one day grin

If I have interest in you, age is part of the determinant to move forward or not. The way it is equally as important too for a man to date or marry me.
We will grow old together o. No be one way in the next 20 yrs I go start eyeing our gateman grin
@bold:

I can't deal with an older man.

I thought my husband too old 4yrs older. The fact that we were in the same level was the consolation.

I like us to be at par, get our experiences together, be genuine friends.

I remember when I told people that I did not want to marry a rich man; I wanted one who we would grow together. I sounded crazy then.

My imagination is even too wild: I don't want to deal with a grandpa in future.

Or the 'let me take care of you' phrase and all the care the person had in mind is money. undecided

Human beings want many things, I'm not surprised by the comments here.

My advice: Don't take everything you read here too serious. If you know how the human brain works then you would know that a lady that wants an older man may actually marry a younger man.

There are needs, there are wants, there is demand and there is effective demand.

Only the wise will understand this. smiley

And that ideology has destroyed many marriages in Nigeria.

Men key into that, then use that to intimidate and suppress their wives, wives on the other hand flare up when the man is a bit controlling and I wonder why.
U allowed a man bought u over as a commodity so he uses u as he wish. The moment u start exhibiting independence, he will cut u to shreds.

Or the scenario where the goose that lays the golden egg has died, the wife will turn into something else, now seeing the man as the monster he is not remembering that she dated and married this same monster but material gains clouded her judgement on who the real man is.
Re: How Big Is Too Big Of An Age Gap For Relationships? by Nobody: 1:17pm On Feb 06, 2020
It’s relative to your own age but generally speaking once a woman is above 25 she can date a man of even 60 without it looking awkward. She’s a full grown adult.

sorry to say but you sound like a very young girl. If you were mature yourself, you would know from age 25 upwards, there is nothing like age based “seniority” in life. It’s all about status from that point. You can relate with someone of 50 years old anyhow as long as you’re in their social class. That “seniority” thing usually ends in secondary school.

Is 10 years not too much aunty?
stop looking at it from the perspective of a young girl. Look at it this way; if a man is 50 and his wife is 40 would that look awkward to anyone?

I feel once a woman is matured to a certain age, there is no limit to the age of man she can date. It would only look awkward if she is too young. Say below 25.
