A Nigerian lady recently took to social media to express her pain and frustration about being single at the age of 29, leaving many of her followers touched by her emotional outpouring.
In a heartfelt post, the young woman revealed that her relationship status has remained unchanged for years despite her desire for companionship. She shared how the thought of her age advancing without a partner has affected her self-esteem and sense of self-worth.
According to her, she has never been approached by men for a date, which has caused her to question her appearance and personality, wondering if something might be wrong with her.
The video she shared online captured her in tears, visibly distressed as she reflected on her singleness and the societal pressures associated with it. Along with the video, she included a caption that read:
“I recently turned 29 years but I am still single. Men don’t ask me out on dates. Do I look bad?”
Her post quickly went viral, drawing a wave of reactions and comments from social media users who shared their thoughts and experiences on the matter. While some empathized with her situation, others offered advice or shared their own challenges with relationships.
