A social media post by Stella Justice Nnennaya has stirred conversations online after she shared her thoughts on why some married men appear drawn to “side chicks” rather than their wives.
In a post on her Facebook page, Nnennaya compared the appearance of a well-dressed woman she described as a “side chick” with that of a tired-looking wife, suggesting that many married women sometimes become less concerned about their appearance after marriage.
According to her, some women who once made deliberate efforts to look attractive during courtship may relax those efforts once they are married, while other women competing for attention continue to invest time in their looks.
“The same woman who used to dress well, smell nice and look attractive while dating suddenly becomes comfortable in wrapper and bathroom slippers,” she wrote.
Nnennaya argued that marriage should not signal the end of personal grooming or physical attraction, noting that couples should continue to make efforts to maintain the spark in their relationships.
She encouraged married women to take pride in their appearance not only for their partners but also for their own confidence and well-being.
Her post has since generated mixed reactions online, with some users agreeing with her perspective on maintaining attraction in marriage, while others argued that the issue involves broader factors such as support from partners, household responsibilities and mutual effort in relationships.
