"Older Women Are Now The Premium Package"  – Damilola Adegbite

Nollywood actress Damilola Adegbite has observed a shift in the Nigerian dating scene, noting that younger men are increasingly drawn to older women.

Speaking on her recent podcast, posted on her YouTube channel, she explained that society once made women feel they should quietly exit the dating market after a certain age, but that narrative is now changing.

Adegbite further drew on the biblical analogy of the rejected stone becoming the chief cornerstone, suggesting that older women who were once overlooked have now become the premium package.

She noted that younger men now boldly approach women in their late thirties and early forties, expressing interest without hesitation. She described this confidence as attractive, adding that the tables have turned from the days when younger women received all the attention.

She wrote:
"When society made older women feel like once we have crossed a certain age, you should basically leave the dating market quietly. Meanwhile, the younger girls were supposedly getting all the attention. But now, the tables are turning."

"Honestly, I think Psalm 118:22 was onto something. You know that scripture about the stone which the builders rejected becoming the cornerstone? Maybe we should just say the older woman who was once overlooked has become the premium package."

"But seriously, why is this happening? A younger man will see a woman who is 38, 40 or 42 and say boldly, 'I like you.' And you are sitting there thinking, 'Sorry, wait, are we doing this?' And he is looking you dead in the eye like, 'Yes, we are.' And I think that confidence is attractive."
