I have never done this before but it has been a wish of mine, and now it seems I have the opportunity to do it right. I got this email below from a reader of this blog who is open to being matched with ladies ready for a serious relationship leading to marriage, and who live in the United States.
Hello Myne,
Compliments of the season,
I stumbled into your blog site and I find it very interesting. I must say congratulations on all you have achieved. I will like to know if you are involved in matching persons who are interested in marriage. If no, can we try something out through you ?
I am a Nigerian professional currently in the Carribean. I visit the US regularly, and my ultimate goal is to move over there, so I am looking earnestly for a suitable wifey at this time.
Many thanks, Peter Branson ( Not real name )
If you are interested, please send me an email at myne@mynewhitman.com and we'll take it from there. If you know someone who may be but doesn't read this blog, do share. Please only serious comments and emails, thanks.
LOL! I had to laugh o! I'm sorry if this doesn't pass as a serious comment but honestly, it reads kind of funny.
ReplyDeleteBut, erm, this matchmaking request is so generic. He doesn't state his preferences (or maybe he has no preferences?). It's funny I was just reading a blogger's post/rant today about her being unmarried and all that, and wishing I had a good brother to match her kind soul with. Maybe this your friend wouldn't mind moving to Canada for a good Nigerian girl?
Hi Anonymous, I have removed some details to protect his privacy, but yeah, the floor is kinda open at this stage. I'm just learning myself. What sort of preferences do you mean, lik height, education, skin color? I don't think those things make a suitable wifey.
DeleteI'm not sure about Canada, still please send on to your friend. If they are meant to be together, I'm sure they can work something out.
Oh no! Don't get me wrong. I don't think those things you mentioned make a "suitable wife" (and never even considered that). To be honest, all the information about him is that he is a Nigerian doctor (which wouldn't make him a "suitable husband" and the mention of his profession is in fact a little off-putting). But he must have at least have some basic compatibility preferences, e.g. an age-range, personality type, faith/beliefs, etc. The lady I referred to is a blogger who reads your blog and I'm sure she'll respond if interested.
DeleteThanks for making things clear. I agree with you and will ask him for more info still.
DeleteHe should share more about himself as well as what he's looking for. There are lots of variables to consider.
ReplyDeleteThose who send emails to me will get more details. I didn't want to put everything out here.
DeleteErrm, what is he looking for? And is he Christian, Muslim? Age range? Is he Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa?. He plans to move to the US, but he doesn't live in the US. Errm, how does he plan to do that? Is he a US citizen or PR? Nothing here is interesting enough for a single woman like me to show interest (unless being a Dr. was meant to entice a woman) this is too generic to even interest me. And I am a single, educated, and employed woman living in the US.
ReplyDeleteWishing him all the best :)
Maybe I shouldn't have removed the bits I did. Please send in an email, I have more info, I promise :)
DeleteIt will be nice he tells more about himself, just so that people would believe the more and not think it is one of those that are looking for easy affairs. But in all, I think this might be a good way to bringing singles who are looking forward to marriage together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debby, I'm learning from this :)
DeleteU should put more out there and not just generic stuff. Does this US based lady hv to be a citizen? Also, is something wrong with my thinking, I feel people should have a good relationship before they start talking about marriage. I have a problem with people who set out to look for wives or husbands. To me, it raises the question of if you want me cos you want a wife and I am suitable or if you want me for ME. Those are two different things.
ReplyDeletePlease let myne be. She is just starting off with this "match maker" of a thing. Just like she said, if you are interested, send message to the ID and then she will get back to you, probably with all the details you want. Stop asking her delicate and sensitive questions. For the sake of privacy and security purpose, you dont expect her nor the man to release all the infos/data here. Myne i dont know how to say this because words cannot be enough to describe what i have in my heart but take this "you are simply the best".
ReplyDeleteMyne, could u loan me your power ranger? She is doing a great job of speaking for u.
DeleteThanks dear. Sting you don hear, ba? Lol...
