"When they offend you and you call them to vent and hang up the call, they would call back to act offended and question why you hung up on them. They can be very stressful sometimes.
"They never accept their fault when they offend you. They rather get angry when you confront them on something that They did to you," she added.

Speaking to YEN.co.gh, Apostle Eric Okai, Senior Pastor of Elim Church and a relationship expert said maturity plays a major role in building and maintaining healthy relations, so he appreciates why the young lady would seek older men.
