Is It Possible To Marry A Poor Guy?
« on: November 25, 2005, 04:40 PM »

This is the truth so many girls I've seen in Nigeria are not ready to settle with a guy who does not have money.I once over heard a girl telling a graduate friend of hers that..'you said you have potentials so what? Go ake money first'.How many girls are ready to date or even marry such guys?

Well...

i married such a so called "poor" guy. I don't mind, if you have big money or not, if your heart is at the right place. And i believe, that in future both of us can raise enough money for living together.

please define the term "poor"? because if a guy is not as financially blessed a u, u cld ascribe the term to him because he's outside ur class. But what if the guy is okay - i mean financially but not, u know, just up to ur expectation.

Is he still considered as poor?

I cannot marry a poor guy. My man has to be at least comfortable...not necessarily rich. This is reality and not some romantic fairy tale so girls, let's keep it real.

IAH the question was, "is it possible to marry a poor guy"? Not "will u marry a poor guy"?

I know i won't marry a poor guy, but YES it is possible to marry a poor guy!

someone should please define the level of poverty we talking about here.. if i were a girl, i probably wont marry a guy that drinks garri day & night, or can't afford 3 meals daily, that's gon amount to suffering.. education has opened peoples eyes and it's getting more difficult to manage life without cash unlike in the past. it's possible to marry a poor educated dude, at least there's hope..

It is possible, My aunt married a guy that was not her class in no sense at all.

She only used to date guys that called themselves 'big boys' (nice car,home etc)but they were the worse and she knew it.  It was pure luck if these 'big boys' didn't have women all over london/nigeria.

Sorry, to get back to poor guys, basically, my aunty and this guy are now married with 2 beautiful children,nice house/car,he looks really good and you would not believe where he came from just a couple of years ago and just to add, he is a wonderful man who I have so much respect for (I hope to find a hubby like that one day, if it means me marrying a guy who doesn;t have much then so be it - happiness and respect is all I ask.)

I hope it was ok for me to reply to this, I am new and have no idea how this works.

Thanks.

All said and done majority say that it is possible to marry a poor guy. I have an educated guy with a heart of gold that his fiancee left because he is still struggling to set up his publishing and movie production business.He wants to settle down now with a woman that would believe in him but so far none is forth coming, how possible is it for him or is there any body who sent in a reply who can brave the storm with him?If we really believe that a woman can grow with a man.

Never say never......anything is possible. I think the question should be( IS IT GOOD OR ADVISABLE TO MARRY A POOR MAN ) defining the term poor. because a poor man to u maynot be at all poor to me. OR maybe   IS IT ADVISABLE TO MARRY A GUY THAT U ARE RICHER THAN.

It is possible, but the main thing there is love.  just know if he's the man for u and go ahead. The guy might be poor today and be rich tomorrow.

Depends on what is poor.
I mean the schoolfees hasn to be paid as well as hospital bills .Not so.
Can poor be a farmer in the village.?

Mamaput is right. My family lives in the village and my cousins marry "poor men". But, the children do not go hunger. The schools are paid for. Housing is provided. Food is available. Yes, it is possible. It is just that women do not brag or announce "My husband will be a poor man" as they do w/ rich men.
