Does Finance Matter In Any Relationship? by asanga(m): 7:06pm On Feb 08, 2006
This question have been bothering me ever since I met this girl and she told me without money this relationship would not work I was scared because of this statement it made me feel she just needed my money.

I left her and had to go searching for a lady that will go out with me for who I am not for what I have, what do you think? Must i bring in money in this I don`t think so?

Pls help me.

Re: Does Finance Matter In Any Relationship? by MatureMe(f): 7:06am On Feb 12, 2006
Money matters if you're thinking about marrying and starting a family. Before that there should be discussions on how you and the woman feel about money issues. This should be seriously talked about if the relationship is becoming more permanent.

i believe finance isnt really a criteria for dating. any gal telling u without u being rich ur relationship wont work then ure in for it. just leave and forget it because she just told u the plain truth by defining her self in few words.

I think it matters in all relationships
Even the Bible says "Money answereth all things"
Re: Does Finance Matter In Any Relationship? by mayau(f): 11:13am On Dec 10, 2007
It depends on where you live.If its in the city yes money does matters.If its in the village money does'nt matter much (I'm saying this beacuse when I had my posting at the village I don't need much money).

I wish you good luck in finding the girl who takes you for who you are.

Re: Does Finance Matter In Any Relationship? by viviyn(f): 4:59pm On Feb 21, 2008
I personally find it difficult to ask my guy for money. Sometimes, I get to spend on him when I know he is flat. Though I dont give him cash, cos it might affect his ego, rather I buy foodstuffs and stock his kitchen, and stuff like that.
I dont think money should determine a relationship.
Re: Does Finance Matter In Any Relationship? by Busta(f): 5:02pm On Feb 21, 2008

It matters; money is respect; when you have money, your woman would respect you.

Assuming you live in Abuja and have two men hitting on you and both live in lagos. The one that has a job can afford to come to Abuja and see you often while the other that is an applicant can barely afford a phone call how much less visiting you although he really loves you and wants to do those things. Which one will you fall for? Finance is the operating system of any relationship.
Re: Does Finance Matter In Any Relationship? by skyone(m): 6:20pm On Feb 21, 2008
@poster

at least 95% of ladies will consider their man to be well to do (money) but at the same time shy away from letting you know.

You will only find out when gari is out of stock in the house, no oil, no meat on the rice etc, when this occur in the family affair the woman rakes and reality will show up.

Please dont be deceived, work hard and pray i believe you will always enjoy your relationship and marital life with great riches.

Omo Eko:

No money, No relationship, No Love and dammit NO SEX grin grin grin,
you're right . . . am not joking o. am not living as a church rat , and it does not mean i have to live like queen Elizabeth either. . . that's why I'll also be "contributing" to help the relationship financially.
Re: Does Finance Matter In Any Relationship? by Nobody: 12:44pm On Mar 10, 2008
Of course money's very important, but nobody says it has to be from the Man. She can always 'finance' the r/ship. If she's a student, then forget it bro. Wait till you have money, before you start thinking of a r/ship.

Re: Does Finance Matter In Any Relationship? by adeboo(f): 7:17pm On Mar 10, 2008
Finance definitely matters in a relationship.

You need money to do so much - u may not have too much but you gotta have enough to do certain things like going out etc.

We were just talking about this the other day, when we watched a nollywood movie when the guy pretended to be poor to see if the girl liked him for his money or whatever. I just simply replied that God has to be on ma side to pass that test - cause omo i dont know o.

Its not like i am after a millionaire but we must be able to afford the basics now.

Life and experience has taught me that money does matter in a relationship with any Nigerian girl grin

Many will frown and deny it but the difference is clear when u date someone from a different nationality, infact, it seems as if our girls are the only women in the entire world that one needs to spend money to keep.

As unique as it is, its got its bad side.

I find these statements deeply offensive.
It may be right or wrong i dont know but maybe its something in our culture - seems it seems that its alll Nija girls that act like that.
I feel that our men have a part in us being like these too - they usually feel that they can impress u with the money they spend. Then we have just simply been spoilt by Nija men so thats that.

Well, with every other nationality - maybe u should try the Irish girls, they are tre materialistic and trust me when you dont got - they step and their men say that too.

So i feel that painting Nija girls in this light is just tre negative.

Keep your heads up Nija girls - Nija females for life! grin
