There are two responsibilities widely accepted over a woman -- A parent's responsibility, when she's old enough, they hand her over to her husband who takes care of her until the day she dies(of course if they are still married). So which category does a guy taking responsibility over a girl belong? Please let me know. How about the girl take care of the guy? Oh we dare not bring that up and we shall hear different name calling here. A lady posted some days ago asking if she can giver her boyfriend money, we know what y'all girls said. Hypocrites!! Kudos to my good girls in the house. I'm proud of y'all.

@whitelexi - think u know the answer to that already! no need to complicate things rite? wouldnt want u confused!!!!

[b]Yeah right, on occasions our men should buy us things for example, BIRTHDAYS, CHRIStMAS, EASTER, CHRISTENING CEREMONIES, WEDDINGS, sometime important functions etc, that's normal - not demanding a monthly salary from his very small wage that's absurd and defeats the idea of two people in-love. Unless if you don't love each other then re-classify your relationship as CASUAL in other words:  anything goes!!

This girlfriend we are talking about, why can't she find a job, do any job no matter how small it pays and save her dignity instead of pretentiously selling sex to the guy whilst claiming to be a GIRLFRIEND that's wrong. Better show yourself up as a POLE and TABEL dancer rather than pretending to be what you are not 'AN INNOCENT, NICE GIRL' that has not not been touched by any man except him .  At least, the guy would know exactly where he stands, what he's getting and where to find you when next he needs you probably, on the POLE TABLE - eeezy pee eeezy[/b]

@seeker - the responsiblity would probably fit in between when she's old enough & b4 she gets married!!!!!!!!

No problem with a guy helping out his girl with the cash from time to time but when it becomes obligatory for him to do it in the eyes of the girl, that's when there's a big problem.

TheSeeker:

They are going to start hating or talking at you . . . . but don't you worry I'm right behind you to defend if any of them dares talk silly. Go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Whitelexi Doesn't it marvel you that just when we thought your Nigerian girls are getting better to know what's right and doing it, some of them are still stinkingly deteriorating?

Hi TheSeeker,

Don't worry, my sisters know what I am saying is the truth as they all would not want their brothers sucked dry by a woman at any cost because, she made him happy .  Its our duties as sisters to protect our brothers from harmful women and our brothers are there to look out for us and that's why having a sibling is very important.

And should any HOTTIE comes after me, be sure this FIRE will eat them alive and they won't have mouth to ask for another monthly ALLOWANCE ever again, when I myself work my butt off.

Well, if you and your guy are comfortable with that deal, fair enough, I guess it's down to individual reasoning.

YET ANOTHER CHEAP GOLD DIGGER.PLS GO SIT DOWN.

@ YJAY,IS UR GUY DOING U HIMSELF A FAVOUR BY DATING U.I JUST HOPE DAT U REALISE THTA RELATIONSHIP IS A NOT A MONEY MAKING ADVENTURE.

ibkaye:

Why me jor, t'was a teeny mistake

Na girl, i was agreeing with you on that statement especially the obligatory part, that's why i highlighted it.

Going into a relationship expecting your man to give mandatory allowance is just
Worse is when it is not appreciated.

charles316:

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY I SHLD PAY ANY GIRL ALLOWANCE FROM FROM MY HARD EARNED MONEY.

YJAY,I WILL ADVICE YOU TO KEEP ON DATING YAHOO YAHOO BOYS.AS FOR ME, I MAKE CLEAN MONEY AND SO SHLD NOT SPEND IT ON AN UNCLEAN GIRL.NO WONDER U SEE GIRLS SPENDING FOOLISHLY because SOME MAGAS HAVE PACKED A PERCENTAGE OF HIS SALARY TO HIS THEM.

@VJAY,GO AND GET MARRIED ,SO THAT UR HUSBAND CAN GIVE U PART OF HIS SALARY.OR IS UR DEMANDING NATURE DRIVING GUYS AWAY?

In terms of expecting your guy to hand money over, I think most girls would expect their guys to assist them financially at some point in the relationship but there are certain ways you approach it, for instance you don't bluntly ask him for the cash as if he owes it to you just because you're going out, you don't mope around or act moody if he does not give you money, he doesn't owe you anything but is kind enough to give you something out of the kindness of his heart and for that that should be one of the things you should appreciate in him.

whitelexi:

Some are impressive. . .  others are just worrying. I guess at the end of the day, God help some girls if they end up with a brother who is broke

spikedcylinder:

Exactly, I agree wholeheartedly. But the thread title states: "Must a girlfriend demand an allowance".
I think the OP has surely ruled out all other possibilities and asked it in terms of obligation, no?

TheSeeker:

Trust me homie, they'd rather be prostitutes than get married to a broke bloke.Why do y'all think I love 50 Cent? He said in one of his songs ". . . So keep an eye on your money and trust no b*tch".

But then, money isn't everything biko

ibkaye:

As in, is it a obligation for the girl to ask for an allowance from her guy?

@topic
But then, money isn't everything biko  

What are you even doing here sef?
Oya! Alele to literature and career sections!

TheSeeker:

Why don't you just answer the question? It's a matter of being logical. When it comes to monetary issues, it's got to be logical. Romance is from the heart, money is always on your mind and your conscience controls it.

ibkaye:

There are two different types of broke dudes, the lazy ones and the hard-working determined ones showing signs of at least trying to break through their current state of poverty.

I'm sure most ladies wouldn't even smell the lazy one talkless of considering a relationship with him, I am one of them, as for the hard-working and determined one, heck yes, no problem.
