A Nigerian woman, Grace Adeyemi, has identified the categories of men she would never date. She posted the list on Facebook on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, naming doctors, photographers, musicians, politicians, and pastors among those she would avoid. In explaining her choices, Adeyemi said she is too insecure to date a doctor because doctors frequently encounter attractive women. She described photographers as a deal breaker, pointing to the physical contact their work involves with female clients. She also said she would not marry a pastor, citing the weighty duties of a pastor’s wife and her reluctance to be addressed as “Mama.” Her list continued: 1. Doctors: They are always busy and see many attractive women every day, she said. Given her insecurity, she could not date a doctor and would not have peace of mind. 2. Photographers: She said photographers have seen a great deal. They touch women, pose them, and edit their photos. She simply could not date one. 3. Musicians: She said musicians have too many excuses for cheating, such as saying “It’s just my lifestyle” or calling a woman “my video vixen.” She could not date a musician. 4. Politicians: She said politics is too stressful, with too many meetings, travel, and secrets. Though she likes people in power, she could not date a politician. 5. Pastors: She said she cannot marry a pastor because the work is too demanding. She mentioned being called Mama and duties such as “Pray for this person,” “fast for 30 days,” and “go for vigil,” which she said she could not carry.
