Why Do Ladies Like Marrying Older Men by HopeVictor(m): 11:25pm On Mar 09, 2021
There's this girl my faculty mate we have been friends since year1..we do visit each other shared things in common I support her in my own little way but since she attends deeper life didn't want to bring any relationship or sex into the friendship..We served 2019 though different states but she came to see me once wanted to stay the night but I refused..We always talk about life after service..she said she will like to get married after service, I was like me na hustling straight oh..
We met sometime last year and I was telling her about marriage and relationship and she was like Im not matured enough spiritually financially and the rest.. I was surprised because she's someone I'm very close to and I used to give her advices and support that helps her so I was shocked she said that.. since then I started withdrawing from talking to her until last week when we met and she told me she's engaged now planning to get married.. I wished her well though after asking her some questions about the man but we can't be friends anymore because I won't want to be in her affairs anymore.. My question now is why do ladies in their 20s go for men in their 30s..is it the age that will make the marriage successful?
I'm 24..maybe I will just wait till 30s before settling down..

More mature, sexier (yes, I mean it, ask any woman) and have their life and finances in order wink Very unlike a young man or teen who spends his valuable time chasing or bashing women on public forums sad

Younger guys are like their siblings which they fight with all the time at home.

Older guys are like their father which understands, takes her crap and cares for her no matter her wrong doings.

Needles to say the older a guy gets the sexier he looks in girls eyes.

My babe is about to pull a Regina Daniel on me as I'm writing this comment. But who's cares.
I know I wasn't going to marry her from the beginning

They have been there, seen it all and not moved by the naked butt of other women.. No one is cool with sharing though so she figures it's best to settle with one who has seen it all and wouldn't be fazed with such lifestyle any more.

Women are hypergamous in nature.

They always want someone who is better than them.

Re: Why Do Ladies Like Marrying Older Men by MrSamsung(m): 8:04am On Mar 10, 2021
It is a Nigerian trend( check out white American and European couples).Also ladies know young men won't tolerate nonsense from them and they would be put on their toes.

But most importantly Nigerian men lack a good self esteem. They always want a 'little woman' they can control like a boss that is why they go for ladies that are below their age and who are mainly not independent.

But the best marriages with lots of fun memories are the ones in which a man and a woman goes for their age mates in marriage especially when they are young. These two younglins will always have the energy to keep each other on check( if you are married to a young man or woman especially your age you will understand this).

So ladies hypergamy is not only limited to financial affluence but also to age... I'm learning...

Its not always about who they can control but whos more appealing to them. Some men believe older girls are old cargos.

who told you they are not moved by naked women, Alot of married men same with women, are having sex outside their matrimonial home.

That is how it should be. The man should be more than the lady in all aspects.

I personally intend to get married at 32-35 to a lady between 18-24

Fact remains... No same man would want to marry a woman older than him, that's where your answers lies.

On the lady side, maturity is what they seek because the younger men are EXPLORERS who wouldn't take nonsense.
