Nollywood actress Damilola Adegbite has noted a growing trend in Nigeria’s dating scene, where younger men are becoming more open about their attraction to older women.
According to her, there was a time when women were made to feel that getting older meant quietly stepping away from dating, while younger women were expected to receive most of the attention.
She believes that perception is changing, and she used a Bible verse to describe the shift.
In a post she shared, she said:
“When society made older women feel like once we have crossed a certain age, you should basically leave the dating market quietly. Meanwhile, the younger girls were supposedly getting all the attention. But now, the tables are turning.
“Honestly, I think Psalm 118:22 was onto something. You know that scripture about the stone which the builders rejected becoming the cornerstone? Maybe we should just say the older woman who was once overlooked has become the premium package.
“But seriously, why is this happening? A younger man will see a woman who is 38, 40 or 42 and say boldly, ‘I like you.’ And you are sitting there thinking, ‘Sorry, wait, are we doing this?’ And he is looking you de.ad in the eye like, ‘Yes, we are.’ And I think that confidence is attractive..”
