Ladies earning more than a guy sef go still expect make him dey give am ooo

Selfishness at its peak, this is love it's sexual transaction. Nothing different from prostitution.

Partnership on relationship means two individuals with diverse quality coming together to make life easier but unfortunately in most cases life becomes harder because only one party has the mindset of taking responsibility in relationship while the other party thinks relationship is place of enjoyment rather than work.

A selfish person is one that expect another who is either less or equalling e economically capable to bear all her financial liabilities. It is really bad to note that critical thinking skills has really gone to the dust .

It's all about what I get rather than what I can offer the relationship, selfish humans everywhere.

Better work on your attitudes too so you can see better man marry..
The man dey plan him life small small and you want dey start unnecessary billings
so he rather see you as a sex slaves and I am glad you saw that coming
..


Most ladies know this, the attitude they exude make their men put them in different categories.

How do you expect a man who is struggling financially, thinking of how to raise his financial strength at the same time carrying your financial liabilities 100 percent, that's weird ideology.

The people who refer others of stinginess are those who don't want to use their own resources to help themselves but believe I'm their help that someone somewhere is there to carry their problems because they fall from the heavens.

Such Hollywood fantasies is what has kept them bound in thoughts for sp long

The lady in question here doesn't know what she want. Maybe she thinks the guy has money that's why she went for a visit, and only ended up being used to the guys satisfaction. I don't know why ladies nowadays don't give values to themselves. Even if you guys are dating you shouldn't just give access to your body that easily,unless they see you as a LovePeddler, slut or those kind of shit. It's because nowadays because of materia things girls are willing to open there leg for whatever. But that's wrong, that makes guys think we have nothing to offer than s*x.Tf*..?? Hell no. As long as you owe him nothing, he also owe you nothing. Just because you are dating doesn't mean he have to take care of all your needs..? You have your parents to do that for you and you also have yourself. Why must he carry your burden you are not married and even if you are married, you still got to take care of yourself not waiting for another person to do that for you.
And back to the question. Is not about marrying a man who can't afford what you can for yourself. Are you expecting him to do miracles.? Even when you can't afford something for yourself, why must he be the one too..? You must be doing okay yourself before looking for a man that's as okay as you.. that's the only way the equation can balance. What if he can afford it but he doesn't love you.? What if everything you do irritate him? Is not all about money. Loves comes first , then you can talk about money. Not the other way around.

I cannot understand this article. Someone should please explain what she said happened between her and the Deeper Life dude undecided

1. Brother had sex with her

2. She was expecting something in return from brother

3. Brother did not bulge to her request

4. Sister got angry and started ranting everywhere


This rant will always continue when a girl sees relationship as a means of employment and then she sees the reverse happening.

She has no case as a result of lack of merit, case dismissed.

"A love without giving is lust ", but why do you ladies think a man should be the only one giving , while you ladies sit down and do the receiving, where are you people learning this nonsense from for God sake?


This is one of the reasons why majority of matured ladies are not getting married today, because of their poverty-driven instinct and mentality.

I don't know how they got that weird ideology from, that giving must come from the man only. These type of people will abandon ship when the ride gets tougher .

It is not about the money, but about the heart.



Some people are selfish even with a huge paycheck while some are generous even when they earn very little.



The problem with advice such as this is that there would be many women who would remain single even to their 40s as many women would be misdirected by it and miss the best man for them.

Don't date a guy who pays but don't give cool

Giving isn't unidirectional, giving is both ways. Why do you ladies always remove yourself when it comes to giving?

If you give will you die?

Someone who hasn't given anything is calling amothywho is in her shoes stringy, that's weird.

Only a begger know who is stingy, if you provide for yourself there won't be need for begging .

As long as it is about what I get in a relationship rather than what I give, ladies will always get shocked. That era of relationship been defined as man giving a woman is long gone, it's now vice versa.

While I have no issue with the topic, will breakup of the relationship/marriage be the automatic consequence if the man looses his source of income and can't afford to spend on her anymore?

That is what she is implying.

Good morning to my beautiful ladies here and our fellow brothers though una can wail like you normally did before. This post is not for you but for ladies to share their opinion 👎👎

I saw a post on instablog where a ladies share her opinion on why you shouldn't marry a man who cannot afford the thing you can do for yourself.

Back to my own view, I think it's not about how much he earn but how much he can give, a man can be rich and be stingy at the same time while a man can be rich, give and still not care about cheating thereby disrespecting your feeling.

I met a guy this year, got to his apartment saw there are no things there when I asked he said he just moved to this state with a new job but still setting up small by small, I said that's good to me for the fact that he's going to one of the old disciplined church while also he has completed is Master unless he has no ambition that he will be definitely good to go.

Later I discovered something about him, he don't used to call unless you chat don't know how it look somehow to me because I don't like calls too but I feel somehow, if you ain't online, he will wait till you come online to chat whether two or more days, he's after sexual thing though he said he's a believer, our house is not far to his place I normally trekked that's why I don't care about tfare at all so one day, I loosed my hair, went to his place to greet him omo he doesn't even look my way but after his satisfaction and later on he began one filmsy excuse of waiting for his brother to come that I should prepare to leave now. it didn't bother me too much until I got home and call my brain to order that am I for real with this guy, I later left him but he keep begging me it's not what I think, but I told him to come and see outside for him to spend assurance while herefused to that grin

Omo ladies come and share your experience concerning this grin una guys are welcome with your bashing

A love without giving is a lust. It's not about be material or how much he can give but the willing in his heart and to love someone without caring about his materialistic is not an offence grin
It is not ‘filmsy’, it’s ‘flimsy’.
Oya correct yourself now before you advice people💆‍♀️.

You don't want to spend but shamelessly you want free punanny... bro e no dey work like that again.Love is a doing word with reciprocating.

Reciprocity is the guy satisfying her and vice versa. Reciprocity isn't the guy giving her money, compare apples to apples and mangoes to mangoes.

Relationship should be reciprocal in money, sex, love, attention and otherwise. The moment one party withheld any, the relationship may hit the rock sooner than later.

Early 2000s while I worked at this small time office in Lagos, I walked into these three female colleagues of mine talking about how they would never date a guy who doesn't own a car.

Lol. Then, most of us male colleagues in the office jumped buses to work and somehow we all got to know how our ladies perceived us.
Few years on, things started happening and we guys began to pick up...buying cars, establishing businesses, owning lands and cars.

Come and see these ladies naa. They began to form closeness. Inviting most of us to churches and weddings.
Looking back, I'm quite happy on how most of us guys in that office turned out.
The struggle and hardship shaped us.
We learned the courage to call a spade a spade snd move on.

Thing is, things will change for the upright and hardworking soul; no matter what.

Always pay attention to how people treat you when you've little or nothing.
That's the beginning of wisdom.

Everything I said,I meant in equal measures 50:50.That way the relationship will be paradise,based on mutual respect once it is not balanced 60:40,70:30 etc one will be on the receiving end. That is when a party starts feeling cheated.

That is why when a Nigerian guy goes abroad and finds out that the ladies over there do no need to be kept to be their GF, they begin to curse Nigerian Ladies.


That mentality of a man must do 80% of what I should be doing for myself is bad.

The question here isn't about spreading legs at least Op has done that and for free if I may add.

The question is what is the usefulness of Op's boyfriend and other men like him if they can't provide for their women? What do you offer if the only thing you know how to do as a Nigerian man is off the table?


You ladies keep confirming on daily basis that ladies only have their body to give in a relationship and nothing more.

Op never stated how she bought a foot mat in her 'boyfriend's house or add anything to the empty house.

It was obvious from the very first day she met the guy, she was after his money and the guy saw through her.

She had to sleep with him just to get money for her hair and when she didn't, she embarrassingly came online to write story.

Anyway, I've learnt alot from Nairaland and no more doing good and being responsible because I'm changing the game too.

Thank you very much.

Op went with an unkempt hair and expected the guy to give her money to make hair. She even 'forked' the guy just to make her hair and got disappointed. She's not even ashamed of herself for proudly bringing this to the public cry

I pasted your post here so you can go through it again and compare it with my response, if you're intelligent enough.

You should go and look for something doing and have money to make your hair instead of waiting for men.
