1. Majority of the girls or ladies looking for date online, don't really want to meet just nice guys, but miracle money-guys (rich, handsome, God-fearing, sexy, loving, caring, homely and all) to spend money on them and meet their numerous financial needs, which cannot come in one package even in real life; which was the main reason they (girls) decided to widen their search online, not necessarily becos they don't have dates in real life or are not being approached by guys in real life, but becos they want a rich-prince-charming who must also be a pope johnpaul and romeo at the same time.

2. Majority of the guys looking for date online are not financially buoyant to meet the above criteria that the ladies are looking for.
3. Majority of the guys are actually looking for sexmates and not true love.
4. The girls that are searching for true love without criteria 1. attached to their search, are not good-looking, or they are over-aged. and they are also very few in number.
5. The few nice, honest and ambitious guys looking for date online have no money, which makes them stand no chance of getting a date online since the majority of the females want rich guys to spend on them and take care of their needs.
6. The frequent bashing on both genders (especially the Nigerian girls) and ego-fight between the guys and the ladies here will make many to lose focus on connecting with their true love, which was the primary reason most signed up on NL.
7. Nigerian ladies are too scared of poverty, which no one should blame them cos of the present economic situation of the country, tribute to our frequent corrupt leaders. And on the one hand, Nigerian guys want the ladies to start loving them even while they are yet to become rich or great, as a way of proving that their love for them is real, while the Nigerian ladies maintains that history has taught them not to stay with a potential guy cos when he finally gets money, that he would dump them that suffered with him for new girls. which if at all its true and happens often, is a case to ponder....so all these facts and more, are some of the reasons internet dating won't work for Nigerians on NL and other social n. sites.

@190, funny guy...why the sxkillz? lolz:..and I forgot to add that the few rich guys here are afraid of the several things said about the Nigerian girls, and most just want sexmates and not that they are looking for true love! I mean the rich guys here....very very very few o I think!! and again, y I don't blame the girls for acting the way they do- always wanting to date rich guys and probably loving money, its becos majority of our Nigerian girls don't have skill or good handwork or job to fetch them income to take care of their needs, and like I said we all love good life, guys or girls, and since the only skill and product they have to sell is what they got, are we going to blame them for using what they have to get what they want? its in human nature. the only adversity there is that it has destroyed true love in Nigeria, and made Nigerian men to always believe that money is all in life. and also made our Nigerian men to be so desperate to get money by all means, since thats the only secure way to get whatever they desire in life, especially when it comes to acquiring ladies. and that is also the reason why 99% of married Nigerian men who are middle class or rich, will never be faithful to their wives. and I think that is why no rich or comfortable or middle class Nigerian single guy can never be faithful to one girl, and all these has destroyed our social and cultural norms, making Nigerian men to be dangerous at home and abroad- always treating women with less-value cos of what their women have made them to believe in- money = women love!

Can we please face fats and do the correct thing I like to refer you all to the Bible in Acts chapter 26 v 27 ...believest thou the prophects ? I know that thou belivest so if we all believe the profects weather christian or moslems the prophects told us that sex which is another word for dating should not be done outside marriage talking about it here we are sinning so I wish we repent of our sins so that the society will be a better place for us all

this poster have done alot of research about this thread and i agree with him totally Kudos

Nigerian Men are what they are today because of their women.

Every problem Nigeria is facing today can be traced back to POVERTY, which owes tribute to our past corrupt leaders who brought in corrupt leadership and looting so that unemployment and hardship has become order of the day, such that youths (girls) no longer date or marry who they desire to marry for true love but for the financial and material reasons therein. And thats why I insist we open the book of leadership and prosecute past corrupt presidents, starting with: IBB, OBJ, etc....at least if we cannot hang them, we can give them 50yrs jail term irrespective of their age now, cos even after they die, their corpses ought to be in jail, and then their family will be made poorer so Nigerians can now learn that looting and squandering government or public fund is an abomination. and then a law will be made to hang anyone that steals or loot 10 thousand naira & above belonging to public or government, else, Nigeria will soon turn to a devilish jungle where everyone would want to become rich even if it entails wiping out an entire street or community.

Sometimes when i read such posts i wonder whether it is the men to blame because they complain that your women are gold diggers and yet at the end of the day they still buy recharge cards and brazilian hair for them or the mothers who dont teach them to be independent to work for their own money

@Dymante, our economy is too harsh and again, our ladies seem to be too greedy to acquire every modern thing they see, even the ones from poor family and those that have no good job or handwork. Some men too, do assist them to be like that.

Yet some people are married today, courtesy ''on line dating''!!!

Okay.

Hmmmm @poster, u did ur research.

@Blue, its possible, but that only happens once in a lifetime, especially with the way things are taking folds in Nigeria...it requires extreme luck like that of president Goodluck to make it like u said.

Trust me its not rare.. I know lots of people that met on line, and today they are happily married. Leave Nigeria out of this, its about UrPerson, Who u are and ur principles... If ur a good person inside, what makes u fink theres are not good pple out there too..? Forget money and all those crap. Nigeria is just an excuse pple give, what abt oda african countries that are poorer than us? Its about YOU! Cos when u get to heaven? God will not ask which country ur coming from.
