Former Mr. Nigeria, model and actor,Brian Okwara said most women don't take him seriously due to his good looks...
"My biggest challenge is for God to give me the strength not to be a lady’s man," Okwara said in an interview with TS Weekend.
"There is something you need to understand about being a
lady’s man. Yeah, you are a lady’s man and you can’t run away from it,
it is something nature has endowed you with. But there is a flip side and
it is that people tend to stereotype you and hardly take you seriously.
“Any woman that walks into your life will just say ‘oh
Brian, we have seen your type before; are you not a fine boy?’ And you
are like ‘what do you mean by that?’ It is a good thing that you walk
into a room and every woman is ogling, but there are people that
actually see the other side of life and attach importance and value to
relationships, and they will not really like that after a while. I want
people to like me for who I am and not judge the book by its cover.”
On how this has affected his relationship with members of the opposite sex, the actor said:
“I would say I have lost friendships that way. Some people
just see me and say ‘Brian, come on, I know your type’ and I am like ‘oh
sorry, you don’t even know me’.”
