Most Ladies See Marriage As A Means Of Falling Into Wealth! by Syenite(m): 1:35pm On Jun 24, 2011
I was listening to a radio conversation one morning and the topic I can't figure out again.What a lady who was a guest on that show said was that "most ladies rather than look for jobs these days look for financially buoyant men to hang on to for marriage". Many have seen marriage as a means of breaking out of the chains of poverty and joining the class of elites.She also mentioned it that parents go as far as encouraging their daughters to bring wealthy men as suitors so as to lift their family from poverty.

In as much as I would not completely want to agree with this but I see some elements of truth in it.

People what do you think of this?

And what is the cause of this? MEN.

If only the world was without men, women wont maline and hate eachother because of a man.
Women wont have to clean up after them like tall toddlers giving them ample time for themselves.
Women won't have to deliver a gender that scatters the house and starts action movies at an early age.
Women wont have heartbreak
Women would become Presidents
Women would feed the masses
Women would get all the Oil Company jobs

Extinguish the cause and no problems again.

But woman and woman would be so gross, hmmm, You still need a man then, Hiss

I'll speak from personal experience. To a large extent this is not true because I work to earn a living and I see so many women doing the same thing.  After school I honestly didn't know what I wanted to do with myself or my degree, but I knew that I needed to work to earn a living, and I needed a job to pay my bills.

A lot of working class women are single handedly (without runs or sugar daddies) renting accommodations of their own, helping younger siblings who are still in school and are assisting parents financially and otherwise.

Am honestly not mad at you, but am sick and tired of all this negative talk about  Nigerian women and our lust for material things, other peoples money, wealth etc etc. Why can't the independent and hardworking ones who do not look to a man for money be celebrated?

Marriage for this calibre of women is not about falling into wealth because they are already amassing wealth of their own, on their own, through their jobs, businesses and so on.   And we are strong enough to realize that with or without a man we can still have a means of livelihood and make money.  wink

I cannot disprove you my sister. But the topic says "most" not "all".
From my experience also, in my place of work most female corpers or ITs come in with the mind set that they can find a man to marry from among the male staff buying courage from stories of one friend or cousin or the other that hit jackpot by marrying from the company where she served or what ever.
I know there are some good descent girls out there that take there destinies into there hands but most ladies still believe the only way out is to marry a rich man.

I won't say just falling into wealth.
It can be escape too.
It can be the easy way out.

@Cuddlemii, read words of wisdom wink wink

And what is the cause of this? MEN.

If only the world was without men, women wont maline and hate eachother because of a man.(even without a man involved women can never leave together need I mention the lesbos)
Women wont have to clean up after them like tall toddlers giving them ample time for themselves[b](pls tell me what women do with their ample time apart from gossiping and paint yourselves and of cause, have you been to a female hotel before. It is a proven fact that men are neater than females)  [/b]
Women won't have to deliver a gender that scatters the house and starts action movies at an early age[b](Ok we watch action movie from a very early age but that occupies our time instead of gossiping)[/b]
Women wont have heartbreak[b](without men women will completely oblterate themselves, what with all that envy of "where did she get those shoes", "I must have that bag" [/b]
Women would become Presidents[b](Common House of Assembly Speaker wey we give una how far)[/b]
Women would feed the masses[b](feed which masses? hunger will kill everybody, have you finished painting yourselves[/b]
Women would get all the Oil Company jobs[b](come walk in my shoes and I give you 24hrs you will resign on your own. Hell a lady joined us to an offshore platform once and she out of fear couldn't even leave the chopper mcheew)[/b]

Extinguish the cause and no problems again.(Women are a problem to themselves then tell me what problem una go extinguish)

But woman and woman would be so gross, hmmm, You still need a man then, Hiss[b]( The only sensible thing you have ever said in your,  grin grin grin grin grin grin[/b]

I'm modeled after the great First Czar IVAN THE TERRIBLE of MOTHER RUSSIA cool , you can only try but you can't succeed in dethroning me. I don't believe in luck, but wisdom which is a collection of both personal and other peoples experiences. Get thee wisdom and every other thing will be added unto you. Learn from the Czar and you might just turn to a czarina  wink

Wicked Czar cry,

Things wealthy men do.

Why did you have to remove one of your army's head and put on your cleopatra. Wasn't there any other form of make over.  This is to the extreme.

If thath seateth on thee, this should dethrone thee for life. My own advice to thee, get thine wisdom and every other thing would be reduced unto thee

Learn from cuddles and u will learn how to wrap that

I hate them tipsy.

Meeen Im tired of this argument. Its getting boring, I will rather return to my tv series- the secret life of the american teenager. Some people just didn't win a lot of trophies as kids. Okay you win!

You don't need to picture yourself as Tsar or Czar, you are great no matter what.

Thats the smile I was hoping to get smiley. Cheers dear.
