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.

    Have you ask God Almighty to help you? If ur friends says that u are a good person, but are u realy a good person? I have so many lady friends who are beautiful, elegants, but inwardly, they have smelling characters. Figure, beauty, status, will not five u husbands or real male friends but attitude, character, will. Soul searching

  5. Unmarried Nigerians, when real husband will come you people’s way instead of be of good behaviour. No you will use the guy as boyfriend at last you will be blaming God. Like seriously, no young guys are really ready to marry most of young guys want to have piece of you and dump you and because of the high taste it would be difficult for many Nigerian girls to get husband. Most guy need children now, but not a wife

    Pray about it because you’ll get married, and look @ your character, look are your past and make amends…all will be well.

  8. My advice to this young babe, repentance is what you need now. And don’t think the best husband are found inside Churches, no, going to Church is total submission to the creator himself and change the way you are conducting yourself. Good guys are still out there watching out for humble girls to marry, I know for sure you will found good husband. Remain bless as you do these.IJN.Amen

  12. The time you are younger and men killing themselves to be with you,if that makes you think you are too quality and needs time to enjoy life..there will come a time when the ones who used to follow you will never do and even the ones you never wanted will not also want you…at 30 when will you start a relationship and prepare for marriage when the beautiful ones are now growing up…Girls need to grow up and know the difference between enjoying your life and wasting your time…
    Good luck anyways..U0001f44c

    The thing you know you are doing to others, if it was done to you, you would be happy about it, that’s your problem!
    How is your personal hygiene?
    Check your breath.
    Men don’t like BO!
    We hate attractive women with nasty attitude, they just as stink as BO.
    Negligent, lazy, can’t cook, bad mouth, those are some things we found in women as a curse.
    Do you have any of those or other bad habit, you thinking to yourself a man must accept in order to have you.
    There are some women that’s attractive that do men good if they stay away from us men. Say you gay, or something!

    Attractive ladies with no brains have their private parts suffer . ….by now every man would have discovered something amiss….

  23. Kenechukwu Ubaka
