Extreme desperation

Some actions are as a result of desperation. Desperation can drive some people to do somethings that will seem abnormal to some people. Does desperation put a veil on the eyes of people? Take the example of a young girl standing on a busy street with a banner screaming looking for a husband and contacts displayed to potential men. What drives people to do such desperate measures for something that is not life and death?

@aureliah you know some people might not be educated and someone can advice the to do that. I have also seen pictures of white people holding that with words written that you give the 1000+ likes. Haven't you seen such pictures make rounds in Facebook? Don't be surprised if a kenyan does that too.

@mildredtabitha That is very true and it seems people are ready to do anything for something in return.

Desperate times call for desperate measure. Life can be so rough that we have no other choice but to grovel, as desperate as it gets.

@Whiteflash I know there is some happiness in it but you should not show desperation to get married.

@aureliah oh no. Marriage just brings it's own formula of happiness. But without it, we have a different format of happiness

You are right. I also think that poverty could be the reason

There is also a societal problem. Some are afraid of what people will think about them if they don't get married.

@mildredtabitha It plays a part but not the main thing.

Wow, seriously? Looking at her smile it doesn't seem like she was pressured to do that by anyone. I'd like to think it's a joke, but if not then I don't know what to say.

@cahaya1983 I believe so. This does not even look like a real person.

It can be a dare or she just want to be featured in social media platforms and be famous. Haha.
