Dating wealthy older men keeps women unmarried in their 30s – Actor Kanayo

Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has stated that the reason some women remain unmarried at age 30 is that they spent their younger years dating older, wealthy men.

In a recent interview with News Central, Kanayo explained that many women in their early 20s prioritise relationships with wealthy, often married older men over building genuine connections with younger suitors.

According to him, this choice often leads to missed opportunities for long-term relationships.

“Some girl will be in the university at 18, 19, 20, she starts dating a very rich guy, sometimes, very old too.

“Then what you see along the line is that because the guy is very rich and probably married, she refuses the advances of other younger people because the guy has either gotten her a car and a house.

“So to her, she’s operating on a very high level,” he stated.

Kanayo elaborated that this pattern continues into a woman’s mid-20s, leaving them with limited prospects by their late 20s or early 30s.

He continued, “From 22, she goes on to 24 and maybe even if she quarrels with this guy, she gets the next guy. And before you know it, she turns 25, 26 unmarried because she refuses the advances of younger prospective husbands. She gets into 29, 30, by that time she had left the university and men are no longer finding her that attractive.”

By the time women reach their late 20s and early 30s, Kanayo said, societal perceptions begin to shift, and the urgency to find a partner grows.

“At 23, she’s a flex. At 28, she becomes a prayer point. After 33, she’s declared a state of emergency. Because husbands will not come at that level of 33 years.

“Some of them get to 35 unmarried. And they still think that they are having fun. They are not having fun. They are now in a state of emergency praying that God brings anyone,” he added.

Kanayo urged women to evaluate their priorities early on to avoid situations where they feel pressured or desperate for marriage later in life.
