TooNoisy:
Sorry OP, you need to be careful with the people you call family. These are the type of people that will try to limit your dreams in future.

Even after you get married they will bring out new rules. I will tell you the truth, what most Nigerian men value more is a woman's character and not whether she drives a car.

Buying a car may seem to take you beyond the reach of some men, but trust me, those are not the men you want to marry if you are an upwardly mobile, goal oriented and trendy young lady.

Just go ahead and buy the car already.

Beautiful response.

Summary: Buy the car.

Any man that would be intimidated because of your car or your success generally doesn't deserve you.

Good day fam,

I really need your advice on something.

I am a lady in my late twenties and I work with a multinational company here in Lagos.
This is my third year on the job and I know I need a car now.

Now here's the issue; my siblings think that getting a car is a bad idea. Why? Cos am single.

My beloved brother said it would push men away from me

Please does this not sound myopic? I really don't get it.

House how do you see this cos I feel down right now.

live your life for yourself and for no one else. If you need something, get it because you need it and forget whatever anyone else thinks most especially insecure boys (not real men).

Is she a car dealer or she has cars??

Marriage is Important but not by force

OP, I have a female friend who sought for advice on this issue of buying a car as a single two years ago. She was downcast when she sought my opinion because her family, friends and church members kicked against it. I pointedly told her to buy the car. She did and has remained grateful till date even though she's still single.

My ex had a car. I didn't and still don't have. Did I ever felt inferior or intimidated? No! I knew what I was worth and she respected me for that. Whenever I visited her in lagos I drove her car. A real man knows his woman's worth and strives to bring out the best in her. A real man isn't intimidated by a successful woman.

So my dear sister go ahead and buy the car. You deserve it. If you don't treat yourself well no one will. Self love is the beginning of true love. The men that will feel intimidated by your owning a car where never meant to be part of your life. Don't let family, friends or whomsoever make you compromise your standards. Inasmuch as you remain true to yourself the right man will locate you. Thanks.

Babe, the truth be say the chase go change gear.

It's now "catch me if you can"

I totally disagree with your brother, you are matured, working and needed a car to make things easier for you. Only your attitude can chase men away from you not your car.

I think it's not such a good idea to buy a car now, the truth is, most men will perceive you as a high class babe seeing you in your ride and that could scare them away.
First impressions matter a lot. (My opinion though and subject to constructive criticism)

Dear Op,

Truth is it depends on your personality, if you have a trashy personality they will assume you are a runs girl and that's why you could afford to buy a car but it's a obviously a good thing because you will only attract men who are men enough not to be intimidated by a woman's success that's a woman who worked hard for it not one who used what she has to get it. I have female colleagues who owns cars,they are good girls and has good personality but the society are scared of them n see them as high class girls so few men approach them but they are really nice people.

They are right to some extent. Yes getting a car will only drive away the insecure guys but real men will surely come.

As for me Babe, even if you like build an estate before your 30th birthday, I think the bottom line is just but for you to be honest and humble..

It won't chase men away from you, rather it has a tendency of bringing the wrong type of suitors, those that would want to have you because of your money. Aside this, the idea of owning a car from your own sweat is very nice. Alternatively, you might also consider investing in landed properties, buying a plot of land in an area of your choice, which is an investment as opposed to car that is a liability , cause the value keeps depreciating with time, while you keep putting money into it for maintenance. If you still want a car go for a clean one to avoid visiting the mechanic always.

but you didn't married her right!

Dear Op,

I have female colleagues who owns cars,they are good girls and has good personality but the society are scared of them n see them as high class girls so few men approach them but they are really nice people. My advise get yourself a car but have a great personality eventually real men won't be fazed by it.

lol

Your attitude, mien, disposition towards possible suitors (not your car or wealth) would attract or repel them. It is just that most single ladies who drive nice cars have not made themselves approachable. But this is because of the individual and not her wealth.

If marriage is important to you, even if you buy that nice car, you will still attract a good man. Just be approachable. That's all.

Dear Op, i was once in your position. Friends, even some married women advised me against getting a car. But i ignored and went ahead to get a small saloon car. I believed the man meant for me can't run away because i have a car.
Today, i'm happily married to the man of my dreams who is everything i want in a husband. My car is one of the cars we drive as a family.
But here are some things i did:
I never flaunted the car in his face while we dated
I always let him drive while we were together with my car
I never let his friends or anyone know the car is mine except he tells them himself
I tried not to make him feel inferior cus i got a car before him

So it all boils down to how you act with the car. Be humble and let your humility shine through all your riches. Never act bossy, else it sends the wrong message.
