Letter To The Ladies Volume 5. (Because you're 30 and single doesn't mean you should throw in the Towel) - written by Psychologist Adejoro Olumofin.
As
a result of the pressure from friends, family and close associates, when some
ladies reach age 30 and there are no visible suitors in sight, they develop
some Personality Traits or Defence Mechanisms which may not be in their best
interest because they conform to societal views and build a mindset that makes
them see less of themselves like they think society does. They then believe
there's little or no hope at all for them anymore and they are emotionally
tired of making themselves available to potentials. Continue...
For example
they stop going out totally, stop bothering about their makeup or fashion
acumen, they say things like " I'm too old to do this, I'm too old to
attend this function / event" or too old to go to the club, looking down
on every guy who may not be their preference because they have achieved alot at
their age and some guys may not meet their standard or pay grade and all other
excuses.
What they
don't know is that by staying indoors and saying i'm too old for this and that,
or being overly picky, they lose out on chances to network and socialise so how
will they meet people or even Mr. Right? If you're interested in settling
down, no guy will break into your house to court you.
From my
first hand experience, I have some lady friends who are 30 years old and above
who still look smashing and stunning and also give 21 year old Ladies a
run for their money, they also have loads of potentials and suitors. These
ladies have not allowed the " 30 year Old syndrome" and societal
pressure get to them, rather they are living gracefully while trusting in
God.
Ladies, If
you don't see the good in yourself or your potentials, no one will. Say no to
the societal pressure and live life rather than get broken. You wont overcome
this phase if you're emotionally broken.
Lets
encourage our sisters and friends dealing with this "Pressure"
because society and its norms are not too friendly towards them.
In my
opinion 30 is the new 25 and age is just a number and state of mind. The way
you carry yourself emotionally, physically, spiritually and
Psychologically determine how a guy will treat you not your age.
