Nollywood actress, Damilola Adegbite has urged single ladies not to accept relationship or marriage proposals from men simply because they chose them, but instead, settle only for men who are right for them.
Speaking in a recent episode of her podcast posted on her YouTube channel, Adegbite noted that some ladies often settle for men who are ready to settle down simply because the men chose them, without considering whether they are right for them.
“Ladies, don’t choose someone because they chose you. Choose someone because they are right for you; whether he’s younger, older or exactly your age, the question is always: Can we love, support, and build with each other?
“Because at the end of the day, we are not looking for numbers. We are looking for a partner. And if that partner happens to be younger, that is also fine,” she said.
Adegbite advised older women not to accept proposals from younger men simply because they are younger.
She urged them to assess whether the prospective younger partner is respectful and emotionally mature before accepting him.
“To the older woman, if a younger man is interested in you, please don’t make the mistake of choosing him because he makes you feel desirable. Choose him because he respects, supports, and makes you feel safe.
“Only choose him if he is emotionally mature and knows what he wants, respects your children and your life, and actually wants to build something with you,” she added.
