YOU still got it wrong. I didn't say she is higher, I only said higher based on what you said about class. If you read it well, I do say there is nothing like class, INFACT class does not exist. I have seen a lot of NAIJA woman who is far beautiful and greater than her, the temptation alone can is even unbearable.

But there is one thing that keep us going. Love love and love.

God know I don't have a complex issues and I have never base any body on class.

If you base everything about class. Yes my class is zero, even a sane human being won't use sonofananimal as a user name.

But one thing I do know is that the most important thing in life is just being yourself for who you are, not what you are

I will like to see each item compared in percentage or fraction of income.

That's it!. When you compare the average income against those prices, you'll find out things are costlier over here.

Cost of living in the USA is cheap, but life is not easy there. The government just eats them up like parasites! You got to pay for everything, including water! I have a facebook friend that is in the US army. He tells me much about their country. Even if $1 = #1, I would still prefer my dear country!

Really? Tell me something else please.

I know I am not wrong. Why would a sane man come online to post trash about Nigerian women? The truth is you have a problem. It is either you a low income earner which is why you find it hard to get the type of woman you desire. Rather for you to focus your energy on being desirable, you come online and act like someone who has got rabies.

We shouldnt let people or posts discourage us from moving forward or keeping to plans. If u want to come to US,please do. This is the best place to get value for money you make. electricity,cable,phone,housing,cars etc. It is true that its expensive but the money you make will balance the expenses.
Let me fault the posters claims and you all can visit www,walmart.com or www,craiglist.com to check the facts.

This is based on where i stay(Dallas Texas)

Average one bedroom = $600 check craiglist for info though depending on the area
Water per gallon = $1
average meal = $5
mobile tariff using 3G network unlimited = $40 per month. 4g network unlimited = $60
Orange = .25cent
taxi charge per mile here in dallas = $2.25 per mile. 95% of texans have their own vehicle cos buses are very scares here
my home internet (20mbps speed)with 150 cable channels = $115 per month. you can get cheaper ones for as low as $20 per month depending on your taste.


IF you wrk in a eatery in dallas, your average monthly pay is around $1600 but if you work in warehouses(so many here) it is around $2,000 per month. most professional in dallas earn average $60k yearly www.onetonline,org. Now do your maths.

I am still in school. I am very young. I am working on gaining useful experience. I surround myself with like minded people. I understand my limit and my worth in the social circle. I try to stay within it but of course I will welcome someone whose social circle is higher.

Foreign women are just the same. Most if not all women would go for men above their social studies or the same as theirs. It is worse in Africa especially Nigeria because it isn't Europe where the government provide socialsecurity and our society is different all thanks to you.

It's ok for you to put down Nigerian women. But I'm really sure your inability to pick up Nigerian women had nothing to do with your financial and social status. Seeing as you can't even spell properly I for one will not want to have anything to do with you if you ever walked up to me, as I fear I could never have any stimulating conversations with you and it wouldn't be because of your finances. I always tell my friends if the same thing keeps happening to you repeatedly then it's time to look inwards and stop playing the victim.

that's is the reason I am against most women. Not only Nigeria women, it is everywhere. When you are in the process of development that's when you will see opportunist who only think of themselves and not your feeling about them. And you as a normal person won't want to use that opportunity to certifier your flesh need.

Lol, like most women, you have a very inflated opinion of yourself.

You'll be very surprised his girlfriend is a gorgeous professional - who also gives him peace of mind.

What value can you really add to a man's life?

I follow you and I find your comments stimulating most times. But this time I think you belong to the class of Nigerian men who resolve to bashing and putting down a person's self worth just to stroke the male ego. She may be wrong, she may have an inflated opinion of herself but how do you know? Like most men you too have an inflated opinion of yourself. What value can you add to a woman's life? It's really unfortunate you are surrounded by materialistic girls who are too lazy to hold their own and think they must depend on a man for survival. But do not use that to judge every woman you come across. Maybe it's time you changed your circle and hang out with the right set of people.
