Robodosky:
If a girl requests money from me, the first thing I do is to assess the situation she painted to determine if she's credible or not. If I think she might really be in dire straits, I can oblige her whatever she requests if it is within my power. Once I make that decision, I don't care if she's a scam or not. I apply the same test too for males who ask for money. How many times have I had that feeling that this might be a scam? Plenty. But I go ahead anyway and do it as long as I've been able to whip up enough self-conviction. I'll tell you guys a story. It informed the reason for my present attitude regarding giving out money.

I met a friend during my NYSC program. We were great friends throughout the duration of our service year. She had a child at the time, though unmarried and she was always on the lookout for the fast buck. She was a great individual, nonetheless. Fast track to a couple of years later. I received a message from her that she needed money because her mother was in the hospital and they needed money to sort out the medical expenses. I summarily, without giving much thought to it, considered it to be one of the usual schemes put up by ladies as recounted in the different posts above. So, I decided not to assist. About a year later, she uploaded her mother's picture on her BBM and posted a message to this effect: 'One year after, I still miss you terribly mom'. I called her immediately and found out that her mother did, indeed, needed help at the time she requested money from me. She died because they were unable to meet up with the medical expenses. I was totally devastated.

Now, I'm not trying to say that the money I didn't give caused the woman's death. But there's no way I'd know if she could have been saved either. It's a guilt I'd live with for a long time to come. Bottom line is, if you can afford it, give. If she's a scam, that's her problem. If she isn't, you would have alleviated a distressed person's financial situation. Come to think of it, guys scam as much as ladies. I have male friends who concoct unimaginable tales about needing money. I still try to give anyway. That 'story' you consider so untrue might actually be a real life issue. Of course, if all the signs indicate an undeniably fraudulent plea, do not give. But if you cannot determine with accuracy whether it's true or otherwise, please, if you can, give.

The question of 'magaism' or being 'magarized' has been grossly overrated. It's nothing more serious as losing money when you can comfortably afford to lose it. My two cents.

Each time I read across this forum and see the way ladies are abused here I begin to wonder how girls are coping in Nigeria. It's either this forum is full of broke people or really very sad dudes. How can someone who sent a mere N4,000 to a girl be lamenting as though someone died?. How more stingy can you get as a man?. Let me tell you; people have bought cars for their babes and they're not complaining!. If someone is so needy that she would be crying to be helped then she do deserve help.

Fact is that every guy has been scammed atleast once in his lifetime, but being a victim of the gimmicks of the female folks doesn't make you a maga if you have the means and getting good sex in return.

A maga is any guy who stresses himself or inconveniences himself to please a girl(financially) who doesn't reciprocate in cash or kind. (Wole soyinka)

I have also been a maga sha, but I made sure i got recompense from her. I used viagra, claro and monkeytail to pummel her hard and brutally till she begged and cried but I was adamant. I'am very sure i retired her from magary after that incident.

So if u've been magad make sure you get reimbursed either in cash or kind so as to have peace of mind and appease the gods.

Lies spotter, tell yours and stop labelling someone else's post 'Lies'. You can't be "fooled"? does he even know you exist? Stop been a hater, show some respect to your elders... Respect is reciprocal!

i wonder, do generous and rich dudes see themselves as mugus if they choose to help their female friends? i mean, if you truly like someone, are gifts and money not part of wooing the person. #looks around thread#- just see the way males are bitterly complaining. Poverty is indeed a bastard.

Billyonaire:
Good luck with your complacency and minimalism.
