Why some women are unmarried in their 30s — Kanayo

Veteran actor Chief Kanayo O. Kanayo has shared his thoughts on why many women find themselves unmarried in their 30s.

He said the choices they made in their younger years are often the primary reason for their singleness.

Kanayo shares his thought while speaking in a recent interview with News Central.

He explained that many women in their 20s often prefer relationships with older, wealthy married men over younger, unmarried men who could be potential life partners.

Kanayo said this preference is driven by the desire for material comforts rather than building a future with someone their age.

He further argued that as these women approach their late 20s and early 30s, their dating options for marriage may become more limited, leaving them single.

He stressed that men tend to lose interest in women who are perceived as “over the hill” and that these women are often left praying for a husband, having declared their lives a “state of emergency.”

Kanayo said, “A young girl will be in university at 18, 19, 20; she starts dating a very rich guy, who is sometimes very old too. Then what you see along the line is that, because the guy is very rich and probably married, she refuses the advances of other younger people because the guy has either gotten her a car or a house. So to her, she’s operating on a very high level.

“From 22, she goes on to 24, and maybe even if she quarrels with this guy, she gets the next guy. And before you know it, she turns 25, 26 unmarried because she refuses the advances of younger prospective husbands. She gets to 29 and 30; by that time, she has left university and men are no longer finding her that attractive.

“So she gets to 31, and the husband is not coming. And what do you have? At 23, she’s a flex. At 28, she becomes a prayer point. After 33, she’s declared a state of emergency. Because husbands will not come at that level of 33 years. Some of them get to 35 unmarried. And they still think that they are having fun. They are not having fun. They are now in a state of emergency praying that God brings anyone”
