“If you want to live long…” — Lady shares why men should avoid single mothers
A lady has sparked widespread debate on social media after sharing her views on why she believes men should avoid marrying certain single mothers, with her remarks drawing both support and criticism.
In a video circulating online, the woman advised men to be cautious when choosing a life partner, making a distinction between widows with children and women whom she claimed intentionally became single mothers.
Lady explains her position
The woman said, “If you’re my son, if you’re my brother, if you’re my father, I’ll advice you from a place of love the way i want to advice you right now, do not marry a single mother if you want to leave long.”
She maintained that her opinion was not based on sentiment and stressed that her comments were directed at a specific category of single mothers.
Later, she added, “If a woman’s husband has died and she has children, you can marry her that’s not a problem.”
She further stated, “I’m talking about those women that hire men to impregnate them because they want to be independent, now several years down the line she is now realizing she needs a man. Run for you life my brother.”
Social media users react
The remarks have generated mixed reactions across social media platforms, with some users agreeing that individuals should carefully consider compatibility and personal values before marriage.
Others criticised the comments as unfair and overly broad, arguing that people become single parents under a wide range of circumstances and should not be judged based on assumptions.
The discussion continues online, with many users debating relationships, personal responsibility and the challenges surrounding modern dating and marriage.
