Why are many African women abroad now seriously looking for husbands or serious partners? Why are they single in the first place? What kind of men are they looking for? How do they feel being single?

Any man who make jest of any lady seeking for a man is stupid and don't deserve a responsible lady. We women get old quickly unlike men so there is nothg wrong if a woman wants a man desperately.
