My money never complete. I want to marry the girl at our front desk but she doesn't even know. I haven't even told her I like her; we just say 'Hi' to each other for now. Better babe hard to find for Abuja

Better tell her now before it is too late. That's how I did...when the girl told me she was getting married, I nearly fainted.

LoL, women are getting agitated. First, the level of infidelity is alarming.
Secondly, when men got married to them, they will abandon all their life problems on the men to carry, no intention to help at all.
If you get to so many homes, men are like slaves in their homes, despite that women Will look for ways to find fault in men. Marriage is overrated.

If by the time I am ready she's unavailable, I will simply go for someone else, no one is 'the one', I just don't want to date anyone for dating sake.

Poor economy means that there would be less marriages. Voting in Buhari in 2015 essentially sealed a terrible economy for 8 years.
Insecurity and a poor economy means that men are more concerned with survival and not getting trapped with providing for a lady and her family, his family and his new families.

This is not difficult to understand.

Definitely a Nairaland problem. A romance section problem to be very specific, which makes it dismissible as the boys in this age group are not even the target for any reasonable woman who wants to settle down.

I have contributed towards 4 weddings in my team from Jan till date. With two newborns from last year’s wedding. We are even begging them to chill, make them pay next month before anybody drops another one. Right now in my hand bag, there is an IV from my hairdresser.

Men and women that want to get married, get married and every week too. If you like, let them be deceiving you online. When they are ready, they’ll quietly marry and shut up when topics like this come up.

Men are loosing interest due to some factors.

Women have become so cheap!!! in those days, before a man can enjoy the goodies of a woman, they have to get it through marriage and that was why back then, men were eager to get married. But look at what we have today. Young teens are living couples live in the tetiarry institutions so what's there to look forward to? Sex is soo cheap to get.

Another factor is the moral decadence of our women. Even a wayward man desires to marry a morally upright woman. With all that is going on today in the society, in this age where 17yrs old are going for abortions, being used by ritualists (yahoo boys), damaging their woman hood with all types of drugs to prevent pregnancy during premarital sex, it takes the grace of God to get a woman who will be a blessing to your life as most are walking corpses. You marry them and you begin to experience downfall in your life.

Another factor is the greedy nature of most women.
Most women are not ready to build life from the scratch with young promising men. They are looking for those who are ready-made, they want men who are living the good life already. thereby making themselves to expensive to get.

Another factor is hardship on the side of the man. Most graduates who are at the age to settle down are unemployed. Most are just feeding from hand to mouth. So if they can't even feed themselves comfortably, how would it be for them adding extra mouths to feed?


What u supposed to put as nos one u put it last, men are unable to to marry because of they are not capable financially, the number of virtuous ladies that are single are still outnumbered guy that capable financially to settle down

Bros, even as a man, I feel you're been too one-sided.

There is decadence and greed among both MEN and women. It is not limited to women alone. I dare say that men are even more morally decadent.

In those days, when men see girls who are their sister's or daughter's age mates misbehaving they caution them and even discipline them .
.
These days men pay to see girls misbehave ,,, not minding these girls are their sister's or daughter's age..
Beyond paying them, they boast to their friends how they misused the girl,post it online and encourage the friend to go and try too...

These girls turn out to be people's sisters, daughters, grand daughter's, fiancee, wives etc

Now these same men are asking " why are there no good girls anymore""" Who will I settle down with?

Alas! The beautiful, good ones are not yet born
