Why do you think everyone lies like you?
Then later you will tell OP not to worry that there are still good men left for her. But your attitude now just show that you don't believe a word of anything you say.
Ergo you have discredited yourself.

Valid ...or let OP take one moment & come down from her high horse and reason this.

What happens (God forbid o) this job that's making her feel untouchable is taken from her?

This right here is the reason no man prays his wife gets more successful than he is.

Once women have money like this something else enters them.

Hey guys,

I'm in my mid 20's and i've been working for a few years now, my current salary is very decent and i'm striving to earn more. Obviously at my age, i'm thinking of the long term which obviously includes my career but i'm also looking forward to and marriage and kids. However, the vast majority of guys i've met are either not ready for the long term, or they're still in their 'struggling' phase.

Is it bad that I want someone who is at least on the same level as me, or maybe even slightly below? Am I a 'gold-digger' because i don't really want to 'eat garri' with a guy before he blows? I've dated these guys before but even till now their level hasn't changed much despite all their talk about potential.

I don't mind having to split the bill once in a while or even contribute but i'm a lady that's used to certain tastes. My family isn't Dangote rich but we're doing quite well, and i'd like to continue living that life or at least not drop too far below. What do you guys think? Do I keep looking for these 'almost/made guys'(can anyone tell me where to find them? lol) or do I settle for a struggler.


How much do you make?

As long as the guy is hard working,not a schrub and he truly desires you,go for it but don't ever be with a man cos of his financial status.

A piece of advice for you.

Plan your life as if there is no man. Get as much sex as you can while on it. Great men locate and spot ladies who are not searching easily. Fuckboys can smell desperate ladies a mile away.

This is why I hate the fact that girls are favoured over guys in the job market. Selling their bodies and feminine charms to get good jobs that they're barely qualified for, while better qualified guys roam the streets.

This is the outcome... Unfairly favoured bimbos would now be feeling special and talking about not "settling for less". The effrontery is mind-boggling.

So daft. So those girls that wrote test with you and passed used their body abi? Loser!

It's not the fault of the girls that passed that they were probably smarter, and more articulate at that interview, or better qualified.

@Poster do not settle. There is a reason why most rich marry themselves. If you settle for less, and the person is an insecure heap, like most of the guys on this nairaland. You will regret it, most of them will drag you down, instead of pushing forward, just so that their ego can be maintained.

Also, don't mind broke guys forming love o.
You can only know the true character of a man, when he is doing ok for himself. Take decisions that you will able to live with, and do not apologize for it.

Follow your heart. Nobody should kill you for wanting certain standards and if you have to drop below your current standard, make sure it has to be with someone who has genuine and sincere intentions towards you. That way, you wouldn't be losing too much. I personally, have vowed never to date anybody from a poor background no matter how pretty or sincere the person might appear to be. And the reason is this: from my assessment, most people from such backgrounds are hardly totally honest with you cos there's sometimes, this innate desire to get out of that phase of life and it puts pressure on them to do things they really shouldn't be doing. Sometimes, it's as a result of peer pressure. People who come from average of rich backgrounds hardly ever feel the urge to impress a lot of people even if they fall and the simple reason is cos, they have been there before. It's usually not a very easy decision but I still believe people should not marry out of their social status. Average/semi-rich should marry themselves. Semi-rich/very rich should marry themselves. The poor and extremely poor should marry themselves cos it's easier for them to understand themselves since they are from similar backgrounds. The poor often don't think about too much other than let's eat today, make babies and just live life as it comes. Over the holidays, I saw people living in single rooms/room and parlour, tying big ram and cattle in front of their houses just to celebrate sallah and I got peeved. That kind of mentality would hamper a partner who's from the background where they are always thinking of investment and how to turn the next kobo to a few nairas. So, there would always be a clash of ideology. But to everything, there's always an exception but your chances of meeting that exception, might be very slim.

I respect your view....We poor people should marry ourselves. And you the rich should marry yourselves.

It makes perfect sense until you started judging everyone of us. If every party in a pool is gonna earn a reputation for what what a small minority/majority do, I wonder what the world will be like.

People like you are one extra reason why broke nigga like us want to "make it" so bad.

It is a good thing. Do not mind anyone who says otherwise. Keep the bar high and do not let the Nigerian Marriage disease destroy your dream. There are men who is at the level you want but sadly, they are hard to come by because lots of women flock around them and that makes you competing for their attention.

On second thought, if you meet a guy who has great potential but doesn't have the level you want and you know he won't abuse a privileged leverage, you can help him up... but be VERY SURE you know him well and that he wouldn't change after you help him o.

Only you know what you are looking for!
I read your post and I saw you are looking for the long haul in the present.
Not possible.
If you are looking for someone who would be with you for the long haul, stop being choosy about standards and be open minded and guys will come flocking around.
When they come, look for sincerity and ambition even if the person is a driver (invest in the dude). There are guys with potentials but have no ambition. So watch where you step.
Lastly, 90% of made/almost made guys had someone who stood by them. So you can and take another woman's man overnight. God make your own (no offense please).
