THE HARSH REALITY FOR SINGLE WOMEN AGED 30 AND ABOVE
© Edward C God'stime
In today’s society, being a single lady in your 30s or 40s often comes with silent battles and societal expectations — especially when it comes to Marriage.
Sadly, at that age bracket, beauty alone is no longer enough. A woman must now show her workings: her value, her resourcefulness, her achievements — just to be considered. And even then, it doesn't guarantee much.
Let’s be clear — the Marriage market doesn’t weigh men and women on the same scale. What’s considered attractive in a man at 35+ (stability, maturity, wealth) is unfortunately not viewed the same in a woman.
To make matters worse, there's a long list of misconceptions and harsh assumptions people make about single women over 30:
“She must have a terrible character.”
“She’s too picky.”
“She probably destroyed her wōmb with reckless living.”
“She wasted her youth on unserious Relationships and now wants to reap where she didn’t sow.”
These narratives are not only cruel — they’re also damaging.
Yes, being single at 30 or 40 is not a death sentence, but it does reduce your chances. Society becomes less forgiving. Men become more hesitant. And biology doesn't help either.
Medical research shows that a woman’s age affects her fertility and egg quality, and studies also indicate that the mother’s genetics significantly influence the mental development of the child. These realities lead many men — even older ones — to prefer younger women for Marriage.
So what happens?
Desperation creeps in.
Some men, knowing how much Marriage now means to you, exploit your vulnerability. They sell dreams, waste your time, and drain your emotions — with zero intention of committing. You become a victim of repeated heartbreaks, not because you're not good enough, but because the game has changed, and you didn’t see it early.
So as you chase that degree, build that career, and follow your passion, don’t forget to plan for Marriage too.
Get Married early — not just because society says so — but because time has a voice, and it doesn't always wait.
