This is a very interesting conversation that has led to a lot of debate, and even I don't know my stance so I'd like to hear yours. Here's what's going on.

The ladies of Your View today had a very interesting conversation about 'good girls' and 'wife materials' and how it looks like these days, the 'wife materials' are the ones struggling to find partners. During the show, Morayo, one of the ladies, shared a story about a woman she knows personally, and also asked questions about this situation that are really sparking debates and conversation. Here's what Morayo said.

Speaking about the realities of modern dating and how 'wife materials' seem to be struggling to find partners, Morayo said:

MORAYO: Many of our young girls have been raised to be good girls, go to church, pray, do your five times prayers daily you know, wear your hijab, be humble you know. Just be very humble and be keeping yourself. And they are raised that way. And then, there are those that are being raised that just don't care, they're out there having boyfriends, some getting early sexually active, they are more expressive of who they are.

And then fast forward 10 years, the ones who are wife material, who are humble, they are still trying to find somebody in today's time, and the ones who are out there, who have seen the world, they are settled with somebody, they found one person and they're fine. And the conversation is like, is it that we misled the wife materials?

Because now they're wondering nobody wants my kind. My kind is also secretly wanting that kind. So my kind that I thought was a church boy like me, somewhere in his mind, he's admiring the shaprapra one. So, what can we do? Because it's getting frustrating.

There's somebody I know. This girl unfortunately was one of those people that conformed to the the good girl thing where she was just a good girl for many years and she did that until she was like 40. I think 40 or over 40, it was a long time. I saw her for the first time maybe 2 years ago, girl has relaxed her hair, before she used to do natural hair. I mean she was one of those proper Deeper Life looking people. She had relaxed her hair, she was wearing a weave. I saw her dress in a very very worldly way. It's now like when she was 42, she now realized that this my Mummy GO behavior, it's not working, let me switch. You know this girl has gotten married after switching. This year, she married. So what should we tell our girls?

What do you think about what Morayo said, and about this conversation? I would really love to know your thoughts and opinions, and if you think this phenomenon is actually happening, or you think it's not that rampant?
