A 40-year-old woman has opened up about her prolonged singlehood, expressing her desire to settle down and start a family.
In a video circulating on social media, the woman, who described herself as the only child of her parents, revealed that she had been struggling emotionally with being alone.
Woman offers to sponsor wedding
According to her, she has reached an age where she urgently wants a husband and is willing to sponsor the wedding herself.
She also promised to give one of her cars to any man who agrees to marry her.
“I’ve been crying for a long time. It’s not good to be alone. I said I would sponsor the wedding.
“I need a man. I want to marry. I am the only child of my parents but I’m still single.
“I’m almost 40 years. I need a man. 40 years without family.
“The money is here. If you marry me, I will sponsor the wedding and I will give you one of my car.”
Public Reactions
Her remarks have since sparked mixed reactions from social media users, with some expressing sympathy while others criticised her decision to publicly offer financial incentives for marriage.
Tosin wrote: “Reality of most of them, just that some don’t have the courage to come out to say this, some don’t have money, some don’t even have direction. No sensible man will accept this offer.”
Isaac wrote: “The earlier some women know having kids is the most important and not wedding the better for them. Wedding is not everything because child bearing is the main thing for an aging woman especially at 40yrs.”
Elnick Global wrote: “After getting what she wants, she will be controlling the man left right center if she doesn’t have the fear of God in her.”
Sengachops wrote: “If you like, keep chasing every good man away because you think he doesn’t meet your standards. When is time to settle down your eye go clear.”
Donnar wrote: “Money can buy a lavish wedding, but it clearly couldn’t buy good behavior in your 20s and 30s. Now you’re out here trying to purchase a husband like a used Corolla..
If you have to bribe a man with a car at 40 just to marry you, that’s not a marriage.
that’s a high-risk employment contract. The character flaw keeping her single must be massive.”
