The goal is to get married to that person whose values align with yours. Stay married and have beautiful children whom you will raise in a Godly way ( for those who believe in God).
The goal is not the wedding day, that is a day for party and merriment, and most times that
Sexual Market Value - SMV
I know many of you must have heard of the SMV before but some people still find it hard to grasp so I will make it as easily understandable and Nigerianly relatable as possible before comparing it with the West.
"Don't date under 23. They have not experienced life"
Time to demystify this nonsense. Ride with me.
Everyone becomes an adult at 18. Prior to that, you were the responsibility of your parents and under their guardian and tutelage. How do you leave your parents tutelage and immediately become a whore? It speaks to how you were raised and shames your parents. In the past, people bragged about how a child was raised and by 18 everyone knows without a shadow of doubt she would make a good wife because he values were right and her femininity was on point. Now by 18, we are expecting women to have sugar daddy and whore around till they are ready to settle down.
If your reason for not marrying young women was because you wanted them to get a degree, work experience and get some financial independence, that makes a lot of sense to me. But all the reasons I have seen on this app has been about whoredom. Talmbout, they have not experienced their hoe phase. Why are you waiting for a whore to retire before you marry? Who cursed you?
The talk of "they have not experienced life" is bullshit. Everybody experiences life. Whoredom is not life experience. A woman becomes fit for marriage at 18. You as a man can then mould her into the man you want in the best interest of your home while you lead her, provide for her and protect her with your life and resources. The more men she sleeps with, she loses a part of her femininity and carries a part of them because men shape women.
She has not experienced "hoe phase."
There is no such thing as hoe phase. She is either a hoe or not. How do you trust someone who has whored for 10 years above someone who just entered adulthood from her parents' guardian and is undefiled? Claiming she would become a whore and she should let that phase pass, is you impugning the character of a woman who just came into adulthood while pushing her into whoredom and it shows the society we live in.
I dated my first babe when she was 19 and I was 21. Her values were right, principles were tight, behaviour was excellent. I met my next babe when she was 21, had a long talking stage, became friends and dated. She crossed from that passed 25 without being a whore. Values are tight. Behaviour on point. Femininity over the roof.
You were raised. So how do you leave home to become a whore immediately? That should be the real question here. That is the question I need you men to be asking instead of expecting every woman to be a whore. It is even an insult to women who have conducted themselves appropriately through their teen and 20s to be grouped together with whores. Someone who has whored from 19 to 30 is not retired. A whore will always be a whore. The past doesn't stay in the past. If you have financial issues, what do you think would cross her mind? If she has issues with you, what do you think she would do? The infidelity series I do annually, are you not seeing the number of whoring babes and wives in their 30s? Where do you see whores retire in real life? Leave theory and focus on life. Now let me ask you, are you not seeing 30+ flauting breasts and ass on Twitter, IG and Snapchat? Are you not bedding whoring 30+ women?
Where is the retirement?
Relationship can end for many reasons - genotype incompatibility, parents refusal to consent, distance, wanting different things from life, career and family, among others. People who had sex with their partners during the existence of their relationship are not whores. It is a relationship, sex is expected. You can differentiate them from people sleeping with all and sundry for money. You know 30+ dating or married women you can call and they will come rushing to suck.
"They have life experience" is not a flex. What experience did they have exactly and what did they learn from the experience? It is not by clocking 30. Fools clock 30 too, so do whores. Clocking 30 will not whitewash the whoredom nor does it make you wise.
"They are mature." Whoredom does not make you mature. You're just a whore. There are responsible 30+ women. If you must date a 30+, why not go for the responsible ones who have a history of carrying herself properly instead of dating a career whore? Some women have dedicated their 20s to education and career while having one or two failed relationships, why not go for those instead of the "mature women" who have more international caps than Ramos.
Lastly, saying "you can't control or lead an under 23" is actually something you should be ashamed to say. Are you not a man? Is it the experienced 30+ you call retired whore you want to control and lead? LOL
Date people with values. You can have values at 21 and you should. Age is irrelevant. Women with values at under 23 are in abundance. You are the one looking for whores. If you like, continue wifing whores in the name of maturity. Anyway, men like you are important for society. Somebody has to marry the whores. So here is me saying congratulations and thank you for your service 🤝🏾
My uncle was always killing Cow for our family members and sharing gift items every Christmas,Women that came to his home in the village he gives them money to celebrate during the festive season, One day I was with him alone in his house at Enugu, We started having a discussion and he started telling me he wasn't happy with people from our kindred, That despite everything he does for them yet nobody has for one day brought paw paw, ukwa or avocado pear when he comes back home for visiting...That the only thing people that come to his house tells him is one problem or another...But they never say let me gift him, something as little as fruit and things like that propel you to do more...Most Nigerians reaction towards Mikel Obi has further confirmed his assertion..it's a pity
