Not too sure, just read it here from a poster....if she did, she knows what she will get in return...that lady is so expired!!!

well if she's doing it all for show then kudos to her. If not then she definitely needs help, her choice of partner is questionable indeed. I don't know why any self respecting woman will date that man talkless of buy him shit!

Point of observation.Many Men don't work hard for the women but for their children.This is for the married men.The men's wives donlt inherit properties but the children do especially from where I came from.Though the ones that love their wives will take good care of them but they are really labouring for their kids.Even the Bible says A GOOD FATHER LEAVETH AN INHERITANCE FOR HIS CHILDREN'S CHILDREN.not the wife or woman

Methinks that though the man is the provider, God never intended that the women be gold diggers either. REad proverbs 31, it talks about the virtuous woman and clearly shows that she is just a s industrious as her man. The problem is when men meet women who are working and doing well, they get scared and insecure saying that she will be proud and unsubmissive (granted this is true is some cases but not all). they therefore end up settling for what i call chewing gum chicks or lazy women who want to be kept and then come on here to complain about it.

Morale of the story is that men should encourage their wives to better themselves and find something to do no matter how small. For instance my dad married my mum as a diploma holder, in 30 years she is an associate professor who has a law degree, a masters in info science and a Phd as well. My dad who is also in academia pushed her to go to school even when she didnt want to. Now she is proud of her accomplishments. It takes a confident and also God fearing man to pull his partner up, and it also takes a God fearing woman to not take advantage of such a good man. Guys shine your eye, if you marry nonsense, you have no one to blame but yourself.

A few more things, in Nigeria today, it is not weird to see the woman being the main source of income for the family, women have really stepped up to the plate and are providing and taking care of the home, while the man lazies around and spend her money or cheap babes. Also someone mentioned that women paying bills in naija is a foreign concept, once again i beg to differ, if you are dating a correct chick and not all these cheap and easy babes, you will definitely see that this is not the case. So once again if you want to enjoy the benefits of a mutually beneficial relationship in every sense, stop chasing cheap babes and find yourself a good hardworking woman with a good head on her shoulders.

In Genesis, after the sin of Adam and Eve, God cursed Adam, that he will toil before he eats. That is why men work so much. God told the woman (Eve) that she will suffer pains during childbirth. That is still happening.
As for me, I spend my husband's money on him. To compensate for his hard work. For any beautiful shoe I buy for me, I also buy him a lovely item. That way, we both look sweet together.

shymmex: So, I just checked the time - and it's 6.30am.. It's time to do a little reflection, before I hit my bed, and sleep for 4hrs (this has been my daily routine for the past 6months). Which means; I basically work my butts off for 18hrs daily, just to be an alpha male..

But why do I have to stress myself everyday? When, I already have enough qualifications to get a nice job, to cater for myself, and myself only till I leave this planet.

But why do I need to acquire more, just to put myself in a better position to be able to compete for more lucrative jobs, once I decide to start my own family?

Why do I need to always strive to be "top of the pops?"

Why do I need to sit down everyday, and think about different wonderful ideas - for futuristic purposes?

And the answer I keep getting is women, women, and women.. We as men work hard everyday, but the funniest thing is that - we do it for the ladies.. We dress nice for them; look nice for them; work our butts off for them; plan ahead for them; and when we chase money, fame, and good life, we also do it for them. Yet, most of these women don't even appreciate what we go through because of them smh..

It's a sad world - and I'm pissed!

**Heads to bed in anger**

Good night and good morning! angry

PStylish: @OP
I'm highly disappointed.
Do you really want to sit down and be spoonfed by your girlfriend or wife?
I see many women almost singlehandedly sustaining their husbands' (his personal needs) and families' needs nowadays.
Its natural for any real man to aspire 2 meet his family's (not d wife alone's) needs.
The bible says that a man that cannot provide for his household is worse than an infidel.
No matter how rich I become, no woman be it gf or wife can make an ATM machine of me.
Come on wise up!!!
If you are going to "accept and respect" Biblical quotes on something, then you MUST do same in ALL THINGS!
Now did the same BIBLE not say:
1.) A man is the "head" of his family?
2.) That a woman is A HELPER (NOT an EQUAL!) to her husband?

See, if we all respect and abide by "The Word", things would be very easy to manage! wink wink

We cant "pick and choose", only where and what suits our position.

BTW: There is nothing wrong in working your socks-off, for your wife......The only problem is if you have "an ingrate" for a wife......and from the days of the garden of Eden, that has been the way of women (God dont blame me, blame my husband! )....at least most women sha

Re: Why Do Men Have To Work Their Socks Off For Women? by true2god: 9:17am On Jun 14, 2012
Right frm the days of John the baptist it had been the duty of a man to provide for the family. Even in african culture it is the same. But because of the present economic situation women have to work to support the man for the upkeep of the family. The bible says any man dat cannot cater for the family is worse dan an infidel. So there is no cheatin here, men are meant to work to suppport not only the children but also the wife. Dats not to encourage houseism, not good cause if there is financial crisis at home the woman shuld assist.

the only reason for some men,why they work so hard is because some women cld be irritating,once a man gives them the chance to work aswell they miss use the opportunity in the sense that they have money.
while for some men;if they go to work and their wives goes aswell,who will take care of their children coupled with what the nannies these days are been demonically possessed .

If you work so hard so you could satisfy woman/women, then you have no life at all.

my-friend:
it is natural instinct that we must provide shelter, food and security, and for you to provide all thid stuff you must work extra hard. remember if you hansome more than solomon and you cannot provide these stuffs. you must be ready to swallow your spam by yourself, unless you are impotent.
Maybe that is your natural instinct dude. Mine is survival not feeding some girl

In traditional Igbo setting, husbands call dia wives ORIAKU (Wealth eater) meaning women r supposed to just gve birth 2 Children,do household chores,cook and atmost remove unwanted weeds from d farm While d husbands goes 2 hunt,farm,palmwine tapping,etc. So we shouldn't complain. However,we'll really appreciate a hardworking lady dat earns her own money and helps in reducing her husband's load (A HELPMATE)

I always say it that "women are smarter than men...........on the average"!
They know how to pretend a lot!

*You are working for them (they know it), yet they keep complaining that they are "doing all the work" for you!

*When it suits women, you are "the man" (you are supposed to be stronger) but at other times, YOU ARE BOTH EQUAL!

*When you are working your socks off and making money,they call you names like "darling and sweetheart" but when situation changes and the money does not flow as usual, you become names like "lame ass, lazy bum, wretched man, useless man e.t.c".

*And if things get worse for you, they start looking for the next man with a "deeper pocket"!........of course it starts with a litany of "complaints" as we often on Nairaland!
*Those in the Western World are even worse........small problem with their husband like these, the next thing is how to eject him from the house and make him fund their lavish life style!
That is how deep the "I love you sweetheart" goes!
Well, until men start getting and acting smart enough not to put their happiness in any woman ........ just until then, they would continue to work very hard and die young wink wink
Imagine some "men" even claiming they were created to work and be slaves" to women! shocked

ogugua88: It's innate and biological. It's difficult to make the distinction now between women who are money-hungry and women who are simply looking for a provider. You want a beautiful, intelligent, and classy woman and you probably hope that those qualities pass down to future children if you have any. That's innate in men. Women want a provider and men want to be able to provide, otherwise their chances of obtaining a woman from the top of the pyramid diminish. That's how the game works and has worked since the beginning of time.

You go the extra mile because with a female addition in your home is the possibility of child or children. Men have to work their socks off because they're the ones who plant women with child. Wouldn't you want your wife or girlfriend to be in the most comfortable setting when she has to carry your child for nine months and then nurse it after its birth? You would want everything to be readily available for a child as well. If men were the ones giving birth, then it would surely be the other way around.

Women work their socks off as well. Carrying a baby, eating properly, trying to remain sane during hormones, and then childbirth, the most painful thing a woman goes through, no be beans. On top of that, women have their own distinctive qualifications and are obtaining higher and more demanding positions.

As for those who don't appreciate men and their hard work, there are sour grapes in every bunch.
Same Reason why i dont think getting married is a good idea totaly.
Re: Why Do Men Have To Work Their Socks Off For Women? by IHNetworks: 2:32pm On Jun 14, 2012
OP, all the 'good' things of life in this world,
Big house, luxury cars, diamonds, fancy clothes, gourmet meals, private jets,
Dollars, blings etc were all created by devil, not for you but for
WOMAN.
Men steal, kill, risk their life, their health, happiness and soul to get these things
Just so they can attract WOMEN.
Men lust after women, and women lust after the material stuff I listed above.
You don't have to be goodlooking or be of good character to get a fine woman. All
You need to do is have these material possesions and she'll be happy to roll with you but
Lose these things and it won't be long till she takes a walk.

Once you realise the above, you will be liberated from the ideological
Prison which which has held men captive from the beginning of time.

Once you're free, it doesn't mean you will no longer work hard or desire good things
But at least you will have higher goals and motives for acheieving them
than just getting a piece of woman's a**.
