All my relationships have ended because of my size. Some of the women didn’t say it, but from their demeanor and how the breakups happened, I could tell it was the reason. Even those who told me size didn’t matter found a way to leave me eventually.

I’m not a bad person. Yes, I have insecurities because of that, but I try to man up and face every challenge in my way. When it comes to relationships, I won’t brag that I do everything, but I do my best. I stay away from trouble, but when trouble comes, I find a way to resolve it.

I don’t have a girlfriend now, but a man has to be a man, so sometimes I go out there and pay to spend a night with a woman. Those girls don’t judge you. They get their money and off they go until a few weeks ago, when I met a lady with a typical Nigerian accent.

She mentioned twice the normal amount, and I negotiated fiercely with her. She said I would be a stingy boyfriend. I told her I pay what I ought to pay. We got inside, and immediately she saw it, she burst out laughing. She didn’t allow all the laughter to escape; she swallowed half of it and then coughed.

She said, amidst smiles, “I see why you insisted on paying half my charge. I see.”

I froze, even before I understood she was body-shaming me. I started putting my clothes back on. She was still laughing inside her throat, all the while apologizing. “I’m so sorry. I’m a bad person, I know. I’m so, so sorry. Oh God, why am I laughing?”

Before I walked out the door, she said I was throwing money away if that was all I had. “You pay to use this? Oga, why are you wasting money?”

Now it looks like I’ve been abandoned by the earth and the skies. Girlfriends leave. Where I pay to have a little fun is also making a mockery of me. Maybe God gave me this so I could see it as a sign to become a Catholic priest, but I missed the call. Look at me now.
