^^ What does basic instinct tell women? Doesnt the same instinct tell women to spend equally on the guy or are they inferior beings? |

Atreides: Why is it that some men are so quick to call women gold-diggers? The minute you mention certain financial expectations that you have of a partner,they're like oh,she's a gold-digger or oh,she's a lazy,money-grubbing lady. Is true love=Poverty? Must we suffer and eat sand before our love can be said to be true? P.s-i do agree that there are many female gold-diggers out there. However,i don't think that having reasonable financial expectations of a guy makes you one. It is not a must for us to suffer and grow lean before people will know we truly love a person. Love is not equal to poverty/suffering. Unless you also match these "financial expectations", you really don't deserve it. So fine, let's say your broke azz doesn't want to do it new-millenium style. You want to go the old-school route and start off your relationship with the guy like that. Fine. No problem. He'll go through the motions sweating it out for your new BB, new BWeave, new gString, all that ish you have no trouble asking him for (or hold against him if he doesn't ask you if you want). If he then expects you to do wifey things about and cook for him (Simple common-sense ROI naw), that is the time you will also remind him that this is the 22nd century and that you are an "independent woman"....forgetting you are broke and living off him and your decision to go old-school. Men don't have a problem as long as YOU pick a generational MODE and stick to it, not flipping the switch to any-which-way that suits you per time and expecting things to just flow like that. For some reason, white women GET this and understand the true meaning of equality without this yeye straddling each side of the fence that blacks do. |

sosoluv: You seem to be talking a lot about "your dad" and not about yourself. I take it you're one of the broke women I made mention of earlier. Which would make perfect sense if you are still a student, but what you are now saying is that you wouldn't date your fellow struggling student because he has not gotten to the financial level of your dad yet. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and give you the chance to clarify some of your views yourself. |

Why should a girl have the so-called financial expectations (whatever that means!) from a guy in the first place?! Costs should be shared 50-50 between both parties, rather than one party being totally dependent on the other in the name of African culture. Anyone (male/female) who is not ready to share costs 50-50 must be a gold-digger! |

Especially with this latest trend that you can't even nicely ask your girlfriend to help you cook something over the weekend anymore without feminist propaganda escaping from her mouth. Forgetting about all the BB and what not she has asked for and received from him. If she got these things herself, then that would be awesome. But if she got them off him, then she needs to play her own part like the old-school women did it. The scales must be balanced at the end of the day. |

sosoluv: And If a woman cannot feel proud taking care of her man kitchen-wise and otherwise, what makes you think she will do the same for the children when they come? I don't want my children thinking pizza and McDonalds is the way to go. Every woman in the old days received exquisite training in the honorable home-making arts and did them with joy. I can't say the same for today. As you see, the pressure and "prove you're worthy thing" is not only on the man's end. Girls craftily forget that they too, are to be judged on their usefulness to the upcoming family cell. I do feel happy when I treat my woman as a man should, but I'm sorry to say that most of y'all girls don't even know what it means to be a potential "family woman". |

One thing I have 'learnt' from this thread is that women really have no qualms in being treated like grocery. As far as I am loaded I can have as many women as I want without feeling guilty. In fact, stupidity would be concealing the quality and depth of my harem. Any woman that has a problem with this can move on to the next available rich, 'faithful' buster. And at the end of the day it's all about the money. Thanks ladies, we learn everyday. |

Problem is, like 2buff said, you wan eat your cake and have it...when i'm paying for your time, i don't expect you to have an opinion, just sit there and look pretty- and please cook and clean Me, these days i stick with real gold-diggers(brazilian weave and all that), i get my money's worth and no nagging from wannabe gold-digger-daddy's girl. |

sosoluv: And in terms of providing, most men can do that too. My own is that if that is role you want to play (I.e. providee) then don't even cough when you are asked "babe what's for dinner tonite?". Let not a single damned hypocritical feminist sentence leave your mouth, and be sure you are ready to answer the question with a brilliant and sexy smile. Again, my point is, there is 50-50 style and there is traditional style. We don't care which style you've decided to play it, but pick ONE and do it well. Don't constantly flip the switch to whatever suits you per second. Imagine some guys coming home from work to then start cooking and cleaning again when woman dey house all day watching tv and painting nails. Which kain yeye life be dat one? |

sosoluv:sosolove, my question is where is the place of love in all these. I have dated about four ladies in the past 3 years since after my nysc. I have found out that they expect me to pay for their time. Infact one was bold enough to tell me that man cannot Bleep her for free. But our problem began when she started talking about love and me not sending her love messages and i was like what the Bleep ,am i not paying for these things. These days before i chat up a girl,i look at her well and find out what it will cost me before i proceed cause many ladies see girlfriendship as a way of making ends met sadly even some of the working ones too. |

Canisma: When it comes to romance, there is a cold war between guys and ladies, hence the frequent mud-slinging (girls are golddiggers !, men are dogs! ) Most men go into relationships for sex while most women go into it for money. Both genders hate to see it that way, yet they cant do without each other. I think the ultimate aim is to be loved for who we are and not because of sex or money, but we are all selfish beings, how can this be possible. The panacea should be; Guys, bring on the money ~ ladies, get ready for sex. But if u cant stand this heat, get out of the kitchen. The principle is QUOD PRO QUO. Let the game continue.i suppose that is the conclusion of the whole matter |
