If a guy meets a girl he likes, he will be willing to trade his single status for her. Except he's gay.

BONARIO NNAGS said...

Heheheh apt, so true.
Sometimes its bliss being this free, we choose to remain single not because we've not met any girl,on the contrary we do everyday, but go single the next day.
Life is way very simple but girls complicate it.

Well true to some extent..but the "biggest" truth is that,in everything you do try to put God first especially when it comes to relationship if not it would crumble..it is well. Proverbs 3:5. @Bishop_Dammy

Subomi said...

as usual, I agree with part of it and disagree with the rest, everybody has an opinion so I wont diss.

Peejay said...

I get this piece, but not every part of it is true. Whatever happened to love at first sight? Or perhaps you happen to be the girl who makes him give up the rat race? Anyway, I'm married so...let the single ladies comment.

PRAYER said...

Irresponsible boys (not men) all over the place, looking for free pussy to sample. Ladies CLOSE YOUR LEGS.

Think about this for a second, if all single ladies will close their legs and all married women stick to their husbands, this world will surely be a better place.
Single guys will not have any choice but to get married by force and married men will be forced to sleep with only their wives. And everyone will be happy.

I'm a single woman and i totally AGREE wt this! I'v devoted my singleness to polishing myself and brushing up on my knowledge of the world,reading really interesting things on d internet,acquiring whatever i can and traveling to broaden my horizon and lead a happy life while also making friends with single guys out there without any ulterior motive in my mind. Fact is when they realise i have no designs on them then they start to pursue me...Let every single woman learn from this instead of planning your virtual marriage to a man you just met.yes i'm 34 in few months time.Hwevr im taking my time and you should too.

Okay

Unknown said...

Is true nah. Some of we ladies are busy calling , sending text messages ad asking for money from a guy who can hardly call nor pick ur calls. I just pray God shld help me erase some bulls from my heart ad phone.

pumkin said...

Words sister! Whoever sent u dis has said it all

Unknown said...

It could simply be that he hasn't found what he is looking for. Every person in a relationship started out single. And if everybody used this particular mentality then there would be nobody in a relationship. Because the ladies would simply walk away when a guy is single and assume he wants to remain like that. This message in a way is saying that the only time you can go for someone is when they are in a relationship. Meaning that you would be destroying another persons relationship because you feel the man you want is ready for a relationship and you simply want him. I say things are fine the way they are right now. Single ladies, My personal advice? Work on yourself, improve yourself and your self confidence. If you know you are good enough, humble and any man that would have you should be lucky, then its a loss on the mans side if he decides to leave you right?

Just work on yourself that's all. BEcome a better you and you are good to go. Be independent, show them you can hold your own by yourself. Well I am just one person and this is my own opinion. EVeryone is entitled to one. Please check out my blog www.askralphblog.com you might find a couple of topics that could help you out. Or you can request that I write on a particular topic and I will do so. My contact and all details you need are there.

It's funny how most posts are about single ladies trying to latch unto men..Men need and go after women too(evident in the number of weddings per week,or do the women marry themselves????).I get the drift of the article and support the argument but it goes for both parties biko.Women don't need 'ordinary' men either..Duuuuhhhhhhh!!!!

As much as i agree then, I disagree. If getting a man is by look, class etc. then so many ladies will die single. And at the same time if every woman treats a man just like you wrote then who will settle down? I have seen and i heard of so many ladies that ended up with a guy super sophisticated than they do and a professional Bachelor for that matter. I have seen a rich, educated and classy men married to a secondary school drop out women and they are happily married. some flings had ended up on the Altar (Marriage)because they both fell madly in love with each other. sometimes, things are not just like you said, and this is why we need God to help us in our relationship......Olorunloba

True talk, but Linda and other ladies should also know that being selective about a guy is not a good thing, I mean this in the context of ladies that have that special kind of dream guy in their minds and they wait and wait for such a guy till the approach 40 and they are still waiting. Ladies please you should be open to guys, some may have potential and ladies who have lots of money should not wait till they get a rich guy that would get them a big diamond ring to engage them. Please ladies cut guys some slack. Nobody is perfect and your prince "charmings' are very hard to find.

Amdi said...

Linda it is easy most times to read what is uppermost in your mind. Relationships happen when we least expect it. Sometimes with people we least expect to be with. Being you and calm is d key. Eg...Amara and Ibinabo...ur man may just be in ur sight. This year is ur year.

A guy has told me i look intimidating (beauty, classy, brainy) and that he summoned courage to talk to me. It wasn't funny but i thought what men really want. Then the answer was right before me, Don't settle for less, settle for what makes you happy. If there is no love, love will grow. If there is no money, money will come.

Very true though! But actually that's what true love does, it changes people,their decisions and even their state of mind...So Yes,if a guy finds true Love,He'l wife her up

Prayer I kinda like your theory.....

Unknown said...

Your mind is big... I respect your view

Unknown said...

Believe me there is nothing Sooooooooo spectacular about a guy based abroad.

Unknown said...

I seconded the " women don't need ' ordinary ' men. Soo true

Unknown said...

I Agee dat it's not in the place if a lady to chase a guy to go out with her or marry her. Dat should be left with the guys. When a guy meets a woman and he likes her, he will go ball out to make her his woman. If a guy is single and u come into his life, the lady should allow him to do the chasing.

Unknown said...

U said it all @Grace Offor

jumoke said...

Please you guys shuldnt make all thease men feel important wit all. This write ups, biko most ladies too remain to be single because they don't want to settle for just anytin in trouser so men too shuld work on themselves shikena

BLUNT said...

Exactly what I've been battling with in the last 3yrs in Abj. I seriously need to get married, but most ladies I come across are just too 'ordinary'. It isn't just about the dressing, just like the writer said,I need a girl that would engage me in intellectual discussions. A girl that isn't plain! Marriage is more than sex! The sex will wear out. Really in a fix

Thank you jare. Is it now a curse to be a single lady? Who says the reason why they are single is also not by choice. Abegii, I'm so sick and tired of men acting like demi gods these days. When single ladies develop themselves, guys get intimidated or want to rip them off. Abeg make person hear word, enough of all this 'single ladies' crap.

When it comes to marriage, we aint looking just for puss puss, we want intellectual conversations, breakfast in bed (sometimes), love and care (free and simple things especially)and all the other razz mattaz that even when money never de, you fit give am belle then marry am later! Okpokpise

Anonymous said...

You couldn't have said it better. I totally agree with you and I think most people especially single ladies should look at things this way. When you take your time, get to know yourself well, meet different guys, become friends, travel around and keep learning about guys & how to keep your home you'll definitely meet someone you want to settle down with and build up a family.

Princess G said...

For singles. I am married so no comment.

Francis said...

Nothing brings more bliss to a man than being single. Have been single for so long have even forgotten how to woe a lady. Even if I see a lady at d corner winking I"d always pass will never go to meet her not cos I can't but simply cos am tired of nigerian females and their dull brains their inability to be able to hold down a constructive conversation.most of the females I meet are usually dull brained nothing upstairs they just expect you to be a guy n woe them.smh 50 percent of lagos females r runz babes whether she works at a bank or not. Every woman wants a ready made man who eventually m istreats them constantly when they get married. No woman wants to grow with any man, In other words a man should chase money when he gets it atleast his problems will be solved easily. Money is the motive owonikoko

Lagos Lawyer said...

I have a totally different view of this issue (not necessarily that I don't see the merit in what the writer is saying. I agree 100% with the develop yourself angle). However in the context of "wifing" or "husbanding" up, i believe the parties should just put the cards on the table from get go. I will give ladies an advice straight up "I don't see the reason why you can't ask a guy that approaches what exactly he wants?" Relationship? Sex? Friendship etc. At least you will then have a good compass to navigate with. If he tell you relationship, don't have sex with him during the relationship; or during the friendship phase. Usually the best way to drive away the unserious ones.

How is this deep? He's just saying don't be thirsty and be interesting. Its true talk tho

JOYCHY said...

Can people just understand dat being single is a phase every young man/woman wld pass tru in life wheter it be long or short term. It's not a disease or abnormal.
I beg 2 differ, guys hv a million & one reasons why dey are single not necessarily dat dey hvnt met d sophisticated ones as u put it. Some of dem get turned down all almost all of d time & are FRIEND ZONED.

EVERYBODY NEEDS 2 WORK ON DEMSELVES INTELLECTUALLY & OTHERWISE BE YOU MALE OR FEMALE!! It not just about d females. some guys are not just it at all, yet dey wat a sophisticated woman.
You need 2 deal with urself first!

Lastly being single could be by choice or not, not necessarily as a result of d opposite not meeting criteria's
