How Long Can Men Stay Before Getting Married?

Hollywood actor George Clooneyjust proposed to his new girlfriend, Amal Alamuddin this weekend and the world is yet to grab the fact that the famous bachelor could be married soon. He once said on TV that he’ll never get married (1995) and after dating the finest women in Hollywood, he’s chosen a human right lawyer for his bride-to-be. What could have triggered his change of mind?

Due to this heavy debate on all social networks across the globe, it crossed my mind, Nigeria also has a bunch of fine gentlemen who are either too afraid or giving silly excuses why they are still single. D'banj, Banky W, Lynxx, Alex Ekubo, Iyanya, Uti Nwanchukwu, Nonso Diobi, and many other able non-celebrities are still dilly darling just to find that one person. Why?

We asked OUR MEN and here are some of their responses:

“As long as it takes to find her”, Olisa, Port Hacourt

“It depends on how long she can take to convince me” – Hansel Ngwane, Cameroon

Why target only the men? – Pierre Hallebaut, Belgium

“At 27, I should start thinking of marriage because that’s when I think I will be ready” - @joeyakan, Lagos

“Why should I hurry and get married to an idiot? If she’s not worthy, i will wait forever.” Peter, Lagos

“Do women not also wait? I’m just being curious” – Ojay, Lagos

“Men have to work hard and get the necessary resources to run a home comfortably. I don’t understand why women complain when we take our time to make them happy. Do you girls want to eat stone in my house? – Bert, London

“There is nothing wrong is waiting for the best one. If there are none, then men should wait a life time.” Ono, Festac – Lagos

Marriage is a lifetime commitment. I just got married at 35 and i feel good about my decision. Men should note that it’s not always about your bank account. Use what you have to start a great future.” – Chis, Maryland.
