If you're a single woman looking to settle down soon, then read this!

No truer words have ever been written. In addition to this, here's what I want to say. Dear ladies, if a man shows you he doesn't care, believe him. He doesn't care. Now read this deep stuff below which I found online written by a man about wasting your time with a man who doesn't want to marry you...
The idea that men are clueless allows them to get away with all manner of bad behavior that would have been intolerable just a generation or two ago. 
Men know that most women want marriage. Women need to know that many men will do everything in their power to get all the benefits of marriage, except without commitment. While you’re getting exasperated thinking he’s stupid because he spends money on you, he’s running you.

Men understand women on a level that you can never begin to grasp, because it’s from the mindset of a hunter. And a good hunter has an intrinsic understanding of his prey. Women make the mistake of thinking that they are wiser than men. Immoral men understand a crucial component of the female psyche: For most women: Hope springs eternal, so if he plays his cards right, he can string you along for years without proposing.

Most of us know at least one woman who waited for a man to marry her, waited sometimes for a decade or more. She played house with him, took care of him, cooked, cleaned, etc. but he never married her. Finally she ends the relationship and he marries the next woman he dates after only six months or maybe less.

I think we all know a woman like this because it reinforces something we already know: MEN MARRY THE WOMEN THEY WANT TO MARRY. And if you’re not that woman you are not just it. It’s absolutely foolish to play wife for a man who can’t be bothered to actually marry you.

Bottom line is; if you've reached the point in your relationship where it’s time for “The Talk” and it hasn't happened, or he brushes it off when you raise the subject, move on. Why? Because men who want to get married, get married. It’s not that he’s not into marriage, or he’s still dealing with “issues” from a previous relationship, or whatever other folder he puts out there. There’s only one reason a man doesn't get married: HE DOESN'T WANT TO. At least, NOT TO YOU. Don’t fool yourself.

A man who wants you will be rushing YOU to the altar. Why? Because he’s terrified that you’ll get away from him. A man in love is all too aware that he has a pearl beyond price. Further he knows there is a plethora of other predatory males just waiting to snatch her away. You don’t have to beg him or persuade him or coerce him, trap him with pregnancy or fast for days. The only thing you’ll get for all your trouble is a decimated self-esteem and the knowledge that you wasted your skinny years on a man who didn't want you in the first place.

    10. Marriage is not everything Aboki but marriage is the right thing. Anyways every human to his/her belief. I as a woman will not waste my time cos I believe I'm either married or single. It's better to be completely alone with family & friends both male and female that a person gets to laugh with than invest in someone who'll make it difficult to move on with life because a lot of that life was spent with him and it would be terrifying go on without him. Not that this has happened or will ever happen to me personally as I pride myself as a person who's strong and smiles and is happy mostly. However the article above is VERY TRUE whether anyone agrees or not. Men are no different from women, every humanbeing needs commitment of some sort and in our society today, it is marriage. A woman finds a man she loves, she does everything to please him.. A man finds a woman he loves he does everything to please her and marries her. It is what it is or perhaps what it should be. ----C21

    12. This is very true, I have experienced this....I met my ex when I was 24, within 6months of dating I got pregnant, he took me to london, SA etc. I had my child following yr, life was sweet. He called my parent nd expressed how madly in love he was with me, we got engaged few months later....linda of life, I was lord of de ring for 7yrs.Anyday I raised the issue of marriage na fight oooo, all I keep getting was he will marry when he feel is right , anoda 4months passed, I gave him a 6months deadline of marry me or I will work, dis guy resigned from work and was abt to leave town. To cut my story short oooo, I left nd my dear pple, hes married to girl he met within 6months, but luckly for me I met my hubby, we dated for 1yrs nd he married me. I am happily married, expecting my 1st baby with my hubby. NB ....hubby married me without stress or 2much English oooo

  31. Yeah!

He started telling me that we should wait again till after next month. Ladies please be careful of Nigerians Men this days. Break now before tomorrow is too late

  54. Women know this too but most choose to fool themselves. If a man isn't talking about marriage -6 months to a year into the relationship, you are just his spare tire. Also ,a lot of women need to get out of that mindset that every man they meet is their potential husband. Understanding the christian setting whereby you date to eventually marry. Many need to understand that you may have to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince charming #JustSaying

    ReplyDelete
  63. True...to a point. I just need to get this straight. Women are to blame for cheating men right? Wow! How about each individual takes responsibility for their actions. ? That I dont know the answers to some exam question doesn't automatically mean I'll cheat. My point being if u are not a cheat, its not in your DNA, then you won't cheat. The economy doesnt favour everyone, but does that mean they should pick up guns and steal? Why does it have to be a woman's responsibility to make a relationship work? How about both parties? If he doesn't buy me a car like Lizzy's husband, or give me 40 orgasms, I'll leave him! Yes, not only men can set standards for a mate.

  74. I really. Don't. Understand when Nigerians started thinking this way, if a Man stays with a woman for a period of time with out proposing, then it's very obvious the woman is not doing smtg right....... no body whether man or woman will want to waste years with the same woman or Man wen there are lots of choices. Out there... Truth be told every man is afraid of responsibility which most see as a big burden the role of a prospective. Wife is to make a man believe she will share in The burden. But rather they are. Adding to the burden with endless demands of dream luxurious wedding and many more........Conclusion nothing is good about being. Single cos in even God created us as companions nd. Not for us to be single.

    ReplyDelete
  75. A man who doesn't propose. To woman he has been with for a. Long time has a reason for not doing so......in my own opinion a woman helps a man in making his choice so woman you obviously not doing something right........an for the choice of being happy if single being happy is our right nd it shldnt be dependents. on anything or anyone

    A man that wants to marry u will go out of his own way to perform d necessary rites αи∂ bring u to his home as wife
    If u like, turn to his househelp, cook . Clean for his αи∂ run his house, if he doesn't want to marry u, nothing will make him do...
    Buh am sincerely against living with a man ur not married to...its just not proper to me
    Got me thinking ur forcing urself on him

    Other things could come out from d girl's behavior...where a guy may wait patiently to see if a particular bad behavior of her girl can be stopped in a way b4 he proceeds with marrying her αи∂ in d end if twasnt achieved, he ends up marrying another girl *ur replacement might even be near u sef :::-n Linda's Voice:::::*

  93. But there is an area not talked about, what happens when a guy really wants to marry a lady and the lady in question has a lot of questionable character, and you're giving her time believing she will change for the better and she does not, then you finally decide to move on, Is the guy still at fault?

    ReplyDelete
  94. I don't really see this write-up as helpful or anything. Isn't it obvious that a woman or man should move on if a relationship isn't "going up the ladder"?. There are so many reasons why Nigerian men (or men in general) scare of commitment. Such a writeup will be more helpful to give people ideas of how to win hearts and not when to move out. And I don't mean cleaning the house and sh*t.

  97. True. Societal and parental pressures attribute to why most single ladies fall for such trap. Self worth is important to remain sane in the ultimate search. The right guy will come. There's a man for every single lady. Its better not to give up, trash any guy who is not committed and move on with your life.

  120. The only part I disagree with is that a guy who truly loves a lady would rush the lady to the altar BECAUSE HE IS PETRIFIED THAT SOMEONE ELSE COULD steal the lady.
    In my opinion, if they both love each other and the lady does not regard the relationship as a kind of business deal, there is no point in the rush to marry. Both should shut their eyes to the world and work together/ plan towards their marriage.

  124. Whilst all of this may ring true there's also such a thing as the 'wrong size' in relationships. As with shoes and clothes so also with men and women...
    Clinging unto a man who is way out of your league in the hope that he'll do a climbdown out of pity or sympathy is like waiting on the rain in the heart of the sahara -- it may drizzle once in a very long while but'd hardly pour cats and mouse.

    So, ask yourself, what am I bringing to the table, is it brains + beauty + a tentative or already established career path and some self esteem or just killer curves, a pretty face and a desire to sail with the wind?

    If the latter is true for you then girlfriend your hope is resting on quicksand. No Imam, Pastor or traditionalist can guaranty you a future of bliss and no man'll take you seriously. He'll happily plunder and vandalize that booty while on the lookout for what he truly desires for keeps.

    But if the former fits your circumstance then here's the thing:
    Cheer up, don't set the bar too high as some genuine potential suitors tend to be intimidated into retreat by a woman on the roll. Stay focused and assert yourself in a subtle but not overbearing way. Remembering the popular refrain 'No credit today, come tomorrow', avoid as much as possible the temptation to become his 'mummy' by assuming all housekeeping and emotional duties...
    Drooling, dreaming, longing for what could be and realizing he's not the only hawk in the sky with a good pair of eyes, he is left with no choice but to quickly claim his 'turf'!

  132. When you tell them, they will not hear. They love stupidly. They guy will change, I will change him with prayers or I will use juju. He is not meant for you get it and move on with your life. There is someone out there who is dying to have you as a wife. Read the book “The Other Woman In Marriage” on www.okadabooks.com
