World of Surprises

World of surprises,  
many surprises  always 
      take place in Africa.
            How difficult it is 
for a  black african man
to marry a woman who is older than him? 
How easy it is 
for an old African black man 
to marry a girl who is younger
 than his grand daughter? 
              How difficult it is 
for a black  African man 
to relay on the salary of his wife? 
How proudly it is
when a back African man 
answering majority dreams of his wife?

World of surprises,  
many surprises  always 
      take place in Africa.
           If a black African man marry
 a woman who is older than him 
He will be behind some interests 
Not real love ...
After some years he will marry a woman 
of his choice to feel comfortable. 
A black african man feels proud 
when he takes 95 percent 
responsibilities  of his house 
His wife can support him occasionally.

Linda Alice Fowler September 10, 2023 at 10:25 AM Interesting insight here Alfonso. Thank you! :) Alfonso II Warally Ngengethe Mussabwa Chris September 10, 2023 at 10:15 PM Truths shared publicly I was born in Africa, I visited many African counties And aboard. An African black man find in secret relationship with an old woman , many people laugh at him. by saying , " You want to marry someone who is like your mother." A lot men who are struggling financially, rush secretly to old single mothers who are financial stable... just to cover their needs for a short period. Thanks for your comment You are welcome
