Nollywood actress and media personality Dorcas Shola Fapson, popularly known as Ms. DSF, has shared an incident where a man expressed his reluctance to date her upon learning about her childhood loss of her mother.
She recounted how the man conveyed that he couldn't pursue a relationship with someone who hadn't been raised in a "two-parent household."
Ms. DSF discussed this during her appearance on the latest episode of the Bahd and Boujee Podcast, co-hosted by reality star Tolanibaj and actress Moet Abebe.
Reflecting on the encounter, she stated: "The most shocking thing someone has ever said to me was when I disclosed to a guy that I lost my mother as a child, and he responded that he could never consider dating me. He explained that he couldn't envision being with someone who hadn't grown up in a household with both parents. And while I understand his perspective, could I have prevented my mother's passing? Is that something for which I should be blamed?"
One of the hosts, Moet Abebe, shared a similar experience, saying: "I can empathize because someone has also expressed a similar sentiment to me in the past. His reasoning was that he, too, was raised by a single parent. Consequently, he didn't desire a partner from a comparable background. That was his justification, but I found it unreasonable."
