Does Having A Boyfriend Mean Investment For Ladies?

It's clear that no woman wants to date a guy that hasn't got money no matter how much love the guy have for her. They would rather date a rich guy who doesn't love them.

Is it a cash investment for ladies to have a boyfriend? Because there seem to be competition amongst ladies on who dates a bigger boy.
Re: Is A Boyfriend An Investment For A Lady? by whiteNkem(f): 8:24pm On Jan 25, 2007
First of all, you have a bad choice of words. Cash Investment means that you contribute with money and gals that date rich men certainly don't spend a thing.
Now to answer you question, depends on many things. If the girl is used to high standards, then def she'll choose a bf acoording to his bank account. Then, who doesn't like to be treated well? But there are also people who have several debts and urgently need to solve them. Men who have money are already used to give their gf a small, let's call it "allowence" or just to be asked. Actually, the girl doesn't even have to ask, she'll just say she would like this or that and the guy gets the point. tongue It's smoother this way. And so on. I hope it answers ur question.

Re: Is A Boyfriend An Investment For A Lady? by amaikama(m): 4:09pm On Jun 11, 2008
Ladies dont believe there is love. if you tell them you love them they will say, "'Na love we go chop or wear.'' that if you are the average guy that love them but if you are the rich guy who doesn't love them, they will always flunk them selves at him or them just for the cash of it.

The way i see it, they use relationship as an investment opportunity to call it love for the rich while for the average guy who loves them, they really don't believe they is such thing as love. cry very sad though

Why do you guys think that we simply want what is in your wallet? Money is not on the top of the list for most girls. If a girl works and makes her own money they why not should the guy also work and make his own money.

I dont want a man that i have to support, if i cant claim you on my taxes then i will not be supporting you. I have three children that i raise on my own and dont need another grown ass man to support.

I cant stand this idea that men think we want a rich guy. Not all women are golddiggers, we just want a brotha that can hold his own, one that can be leaned on and lean on us. If we are not evenly yoked then there is a problem and resentment can easily start creep in.

Every other thread i have read this am is about brotha supporting women. That is not the main factor in determining a mate. Stop looking at chickenheads and look for a quality woman that has her own.

Why is it that the chickenheads always wind up with the good men?

Boyfriends are investment to women because of various ways men have been scammed to believe women should be treated like princesses.
Scams like if a man is a gentleman, he'll pay for me.

Acting as a woman's version of a "gentleman" is an excellent example of how men are brainwashed by women to fulfill their self-serving interests.

Mothers train their sons to buy into this scam at an early age, teaching them to treat women like goddesses and to pay for female company without question.
No man should allow himself to become a doormat for female whims, and no man should have to pay for a woman earning as much as he is.

I am not stingy but women can't have it both ways.
Equal rights come with a price because true equality means equality across the board, not just equality until the check comes.
The real gender gap is that women with good jobs and equal incomes are still insisting that men finance their social lives. . . .
It's so unfair.

I'd say that's a double standard; a very self-serving double standard.
Why should men foot the bill for dinner, entertainment and weekend getaways, while women happily bank their paychecks?
In an age of equality, shouldn't the focus of dating be on partnership and sharing, instead of women still expecting to be taken care of financially?
P.S. You cannot divorce me.

@ Xerxes,

u'll be very surprised.

Come and ask my bf . . he will tell u
am not saying that men should foot the whole bill and all dat and blah blah blah
but alot of u guys need to take note behind ur heads that "not all girls are after u for money" . . some of u sef don't have kobo.
Re: Is A Boyfriend An Investment For A Lady? by Nobody: 5:14pm On Jun 11, 2008
@post
I've got my own money. . .dnt need him to invest for me. . .it's even better if he does not because if we break up, I'd not want any trouble o.

But if the relation get serious and it's leading towards marriage, the dude better try to help grin

But me, I'd likely not take his money, I love being independent, love earning my own money, not just getting. It's even a huge deal taking money from my mom. But since we have a joint account, well. . .yea! undecided talk about a boyfriend

That is not the point!!!

The point is women cook up loads of excuses like men earn more than the women for the same job, it costs more to be a woman, if u don't pay for me u are cheap, it's just nice and expected and whoever asks for the date should pay.

Sure it's nice -- I'd like someone to give me door-to-door chauffeur service, bring me presents, and pay for my dinner and entertainment, all for the possibility of sex, but with no obligation whatsoever. Let's be honest; if MEN did this, we'd be in jail for fraud. grin cheesy

@xerxes

There is no equality.  Yes, us women earn paychecks just like you men.  But then we have to come home and do a second full-time job - taking care of husbands and children.

Equality?  What a joke.

I conclude that dating is an investment for the MEN and us women are getting screwed.

The feminist movement would have u flogged for saying this on a public forum.

Re: Is A Boyfriend An Investment For A Lady? by amberella: 5:28pm On Jun 11, 2008
Ha, it's funny you should mention it because I work on pay equity and the gender wage gap for the government.

But anyway, I'm not saying that equality shouldn't exist.  I'm saying that it doesn't in most homes.

Until you men are doing laundry and dishes and changing diapers just as much as your wives, you have no right to whine and complain when you pay for our dates!

Never even thought of that part of it before

You even forgot the unexpected presents, think of the presents you'll get just because the weather was good

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=17478.msg2360197#msg2360197

I wasn't discussing that in this thread. All I'm saying is that, if you want to talk about which gender has it better, we need to consider the fact that you boys are still going to want to sit back and have your wives take care of you like little babies with their mamas once you get married. So quit complaining and go spend that money on your girls!

Where a wage gap does exist can easily be accounted for by: job experience (according to The Journal of Labor Economics , full-time employed women have 20% less job experience than men); larger numbers of men in their 50s and 60s are earning bigger salaries based on time and experience;

Female job choices (women often seek out jobs with less income potential such as teaching or retail, or are less dangerous than certain higher-paid male-dominated occupations, such as firefighting and construction);

Longer male hours at work (men work 90% of overtime hours); the large percentage of female part-time workers which distort the statistics; and the time women take off from work for child-rearing (an option not normally afforded to men).

Even if it were true that women earn 25% less than men, women still should be picking up 75% of their half of the dating expenses. Equal rights means equal rights. grin grin

I don't think you understood my point.  

I'm not interested in discussing the gender wage gap.  

What I said is that equality does not exist as long as men expect their wives to feed them.
