Cry

I’m a single woman in my 30’s and my problem is that I cannot find a man and I honestly have no idea why. I’mattractive and all my friends say I’m a nice

person. I’m aware that you can meet a man at any time, not just when you’re out socially on Saturday nights, so I never step out of the house looking anything less than perfect. I keep to my trim figure, dress nicely, well-groomed and, because I was aware I was being too choosy, I’ve tried hard to give men I don’t even fancy a chance. But now men just don’t seem to find me attractive at all. I don’t get chatted up though I make sure that I look friendly and approachable when l’m out. l’m at my wits’ end and honestly don’t know what else to do. Philo, by e-mail
Dear Philo,

Your whole being seems to be devoted to finding this person, who, I suspected, you feel will complete you. You’re not just eager to meet someone, it has become an obsession.

The problem with being so fanatical about something is that it makes you come across as a bit neurotic. Men spot desperate women a mile off and the sensible, nice ones, make a run for it realising you want a life-jacket, not a boyfriend. The not so nice men single you out, figuring you’re a great candidate for someone they can treat badly, knowing you’ll put up with it because you’ll do anything not to be alone. You don’t sound like you are at that stage yet, but you’re not far of! You need to stop looking and turn all this energy inward.

Throw yourself into enjoying your career, enjoy your friends rather than using them as emotional crutches, read books, see movies you like, go to the gym, make new friends and find new things to enjoy. Also stop looking so perfect. Nails always polished, not a hair out of place could put people of! You sound like the girl who turns up at a barbecue in killer-heels and your little black dress when everyone else is in casuals, just in case there might be a single man present. This is termed ‘the single girl look’ and it’s often unattractive. For a change, aim for the just got out of bed look.’

This is bound to attract more men as they see a woman who looks perfect, and not think ‘high maintenance’ or ‘she must be desperate for a man’. If you really want to get a man, leave your hair all messy, pull on your oldest pair of your favourite jeans, add a pair of casual slippers and a vest, but make sure your bra is showing. Put on the barest minimum of make-up and a mysterious smile that says ‘who cares in meet a man? I’m here to have fun!’ and see what happens. Then sit back and enjoy all the attention that is bound to come your way.

    To me character is all that matters either 20yrs or 40yrs… Character is what counts. Life is too short and we deserve to be happy before we all say bye bye to this world. Ok my frnd.

    Every woman has three phrase in life….. The hot phrase. During this hot phrase men will line up for you, most smart women look into the future and make smart choice who the wannabe with. Second phrase is when men starts to dissapear slowly, women still have a chance but limited.
    Final phrase, all men will dissapear, this phrase is critical because 16 yr old boy will lie them and the will believe. It’s always good to sell fresh fish when market is full, you control the price , but when market is empty the customer control the price. I bet you don’t want customer to control the price.

  23. The question is, how many men have u send away so far?? And if u are attractive as u say, what abt your attitude towards people?? Anyway prayer is the best.

  24. Anderson Kyler Williams

    Reduce the make up n relax when u see men. The bragging n too known is too much. U scare them away

    I am into a happy relationship. And do you know how I met my queen? I went to play piano for a jazz and classical music concert at a 5star hotel. she met me after and made me a friend. she took my number and we started chatting for some weeks until one very early morning, she told me her mind. I meditated over it for few days and gave her a yes.

  26. Christiana Ijitola

    She shld giv her life to Christ Jesus and do His will, dat’s wat d (repentance) means

  27. Did the girl ever mention that she has no God in her liffe? And does having no husband means one is not serving God? Go to church and see how many ladies, ladies in the lord who are without husbands and are getting close to 40. Sit down there.
