There are 4.1 billion women on Earth. As a man, don't limit yourself to the 500 girls in your community. Widen your gene pool. If you travel before you marry, your eyes will hardly travel after you marry. Don't settle for neighbourhood girls. First of all, explore the world. Earth is now a global village. See other women. It doesn't matter if your friends marry from your hometown before you. Understand that when the preferable is unavailable, the available becomes preferable. You should be different. Don't settle for available girls. Go for the preferred ones!
