If a man is scared of you cos you have a car, then you dont even deserve that kinda man. Like i do say to people. If i earn N400,000 and my wife earns 2,000,000 monthly. BY Gods grace, i will still be giving her pocket money, i will be paying school fees etc

Its only a man with inferiority complex that feels such.
And what if reversed is the case?

A private car is simply a necessity. However, one should make decisions in consideration to the society he/she is in. For sure, you will face the challenges of losing almost every average suitor there because this is what's obtained in today's Nigerian society. But of you are aiming for the super-rich, then it's alright to get your car and give no damn. Otherwise, I suggest you invest the money for now. You can't pretend that the society you find yourself in has no influence in your life; if you do, you may pay dearly.
Anyways, it all narrows to your heart's desire; go for it.

Hey we your car,joor
Most Nigerian men are primitive And backward in their thinking... When u rely on them, they complain that u are become too dependent and lazy. When u are successful, they will say u are too proud and non-submissive.

Not all bro, people think differently so its their character.

I didn't say all.. They are becoming too primitive in their thinking.. They are the first to bash ladies that exchange money for sex and first to bash a lady that work to become independent.... Nigerian men are too chauvinistic

Good day fam,

I really need your advice on something.

I am a lady in my late twenties and I work with a multinational company here in Lagos.
This is my third year on the job and I know I need a car now.

Now here's the issue; my siblings think that getting a car is a bad idea. Why? Cos am single.

My beloved brother said it would push men away from me shocked

Please does this not sound myopic? I really don't get it.

House how do you see this cos I feel down right now. sad


Sister, get a car and just be loyal.. But beware of gold diggers. They're everywhere. I hope you do pray too. Being prayerful is very helpful. All the best.

Why not think of real assets like land instead of car? OK, you have gotten one. Why not develop it? It is also developed. Get another. Develop it. If then, save, save and save. After then you can get a car. I know what am talking about.

Second.
Re: No To Getting A Car Because Am Single by vinxlegend: 9:04pm On Dec 26, 2015
Getting a car will make most African men to believe you are married already or you are in a serious relationship wch is expected to lead to marriage so they would not want to waste their time approaching you in the first place, even if they are 10times richer than you, is not because of low self esteem but it just come naturally. Ladies will say is only a guy with low esteem that will think that way but little did you know that many things come to the mind of a man seeing a lady for the first time and no man want to waste his time approaching a lady that he has impression that she will reject him. Let me give you an example, a lady was in a bus with a guy the guy had in his mind that he will approach the lady in order to know her maybe from there a good relationship can start, immediately the guy try to introduce himself to the lady and ask the lady some personal question the guy end the conversation, you will want to ask me why? Because the lady is already working as a pharmacist and the guy is still a student, the first thing that came to his mind is she already in a serious relationship wch is not true, is only a man that know you before that will be willing to approach you, if you happen to be in men's shoe I bet you will have the same feeling about a lady that own a car especially if the car is an exotic car. But you are to take the decision that will favor you. My advice for you is that if you're already in a serious relationship that you believe will lead to marriage, you can get yourself a car but if not I advise against it.

if u can afford a car abeg go for it,it's nothing but advantageous to you all the way,it adds the class you deserve to you,am sure u not looking for just any man,there are a lot of sane and lovely classy men out there waiting for someone like you even the ones that hasn't hit real cash but has strong and clear ambitions and are not intimidated by big girls like you.the later are the real men.

I can afford to buy a car now but I still got intimidated by a lady in her early twenties this afternoon with a car, I like her at sight but I noticed she owns a car...then my drive for her got sapped....please don't buy a car now..you can get one when you have a stable partner.

Re: No To Getting A Car Because Am Single by Miaraka: 9:16pm On Dec 26, 2015
OP, it's true. it's not easy for most men to approach a woman who appears to be above them in terms of status. They get intimidated. If you decide to buy a car, buy one a second hand low class vehicle and even bang it with a hummer here and there to provoke most men's provider instinct and loving kindness or make them want work to hard and make money to buy you a better one. The thing is, most normal men are born with the burning desire to provide for and protect their women and children. Now, if you can afford a car, something which costs more than clothes and furniture to buy, maintain and insure, a certain group of men and I guess they are in the majority, will feel robbed of their provider instict and will be asking themselves how do you afford this one, how do you maintain her and what kind of present can you buy to put a smile on her face? Your relatives, may have other motives in advising you not to buy a car. but believe me, they are telling you the truth. I know many women, here in SA, who can confirm what I'm telling you. Buy yourself a car, if you want, but let it be cheap, not a show stopper. Buy something which is just good enough to take you from point A to B.

Thats true bt my opinion is that contemporary men are scared of big girls cuz they think the chance of dating them are slim but i can use myself as an example that i got my girl as simple as a girl could be but i still insist it's not fun when a woman spend too much on a guy, you'll lose ur stand as a man and ur prestige will be downsided.
