Speaking about advice his father gave him and why he prefers dating older women, Chike said:

CHIKE: The only advice my father has given me till date about relationship is "I no fit born pikin wey dey cry for woman," that's it. Most women cannot handle [a man's feelings], I'm telling you for a fact. The time you start finding a woman that can handle it, they are slightly advanced in age. You can't ex[ect a girl of 23 years. Imagine I’m running around with some 23-year-old, what’s she going to handle? What’s she going to understand? She just wanna take pictures and be on Instagram and tell everybody that she’s dating you. What are you unpacking to that person? Let’s be honest.

You can find people like that but that's when you now say "this girl is so mature", you find it in older people and then before you know it, you find guys dating girls that are older than them and you wonder what is going on. It’s because as a guy when you are getting to a place where you want a certain level of peace, it’s only older women that can give you that.

The past two relationships I have been in, they have been older than me and that's why there is no small girl that can say I have been DMing her. Nah. I mean, I'll probably just say ‘Hi’ but that’s it, it's probably not going to get past that. Because I know where it’s going. Our visions are just not the same. I feel like if I want to talk to a 23 year old now, it has to be a career woman who I can see this one is dedicated and trying to make something out of themselves. I have said it that one of my biggest fears is losing everything and right now, one thing that I know can make me lose everything is who I pick as a partner.
