I used to know women being the ones referred to as gold diggers. You know, when you see a commoner with a rich dude, people tend to say she's in it because of the money, but these days it baffles me how the table has turned. You see men going after rich women, not because of love, but because of what they could get from them. They milk you, and as soon as they're made, they take to their heels. Some even use your money to service their girl friends. And some if you end up marrying them, start misbehaving once they stand on their feet. and do you know what happens to most of such marriages? Your guess is as good as mine, they end up in divorce!

It will surprise you to know up to 50%, yes you read right, 50% of homes would be in trouble if the wife isn’t working, cos for all I care, some men actually love their wives just because of what she could bring to the table. Or how do you explain a sudden change in a man that once professed undying love for his wife just because his wife stopped working? A case in point is that of Dejo Richard and Monalisa Chinda, when she stopped giving, problems ensued in her marriage, or is it that of Joseph Benjamin and his estranged wife? He stayed when things were tough, but bailed as soon as he hit the limelight. I could go on and on. So I ask, why has our men degenerated to such a level?

First whats the meaning of ya name and 2nd how many young boyz have you used thier $perm for money?

Babe, knack your head for wall...
Just because you were unable to tell a good guy and one or two guys took avantage of you doesnt mean you come here and spew garbage.
Have you been to the north? Women arent suppose to work there(tradition n religion),the man is the provider, how then does your theory apply?

Op if I base it on d news ve been reading I'll say 60-40 4 d men.

Here we go again

The men of the north are polygamysts, keep four women at a time and can divorce as many times as they please, how does her theory not apply.

The truth is that goldiggers come in both genders. Men have traditionally been the providers and women have traditionally been dependent on them. Marriage used to be the only respectable way a women could be taken care of financially. And if a man was exceptionally rich, he could also support several mistresses. So tradition paved the way for women to find their source of livelyhood in a man` s pocket. With this age of women`s lib and emancipation though, we work and make our own money: suddenly marrying a man isn't an absolute necessity.
Women of their own means exist everywhere now and it has been established long ago that money can be used to obtain companionaship (however momentarilly) so it`s only natural that the number of male goldiggers would rise.

Exactly my point, will he marry on the first ones money and hope to use it to sustain the others? Obviously not, for you to be able to do something like that you gas hustle. So its kind of in their DNA to be the provider and not hope to marry the rich woman, even thoes that marry one woman.

Well... maybe this is evidence that the world is regressing back into a matriarchy.


Either that or you are getting older

It works both ways. The purpose of marriage isn't just for raising children in a man's perspective, it's also for support. When that support isn't there anymore, there's a tendency that the relationship becomes weak(not in all cases though).

Men are gold diggers, women are gold diggers, hell it depends on what your 'gold' is.

Abeg wetin I type,wey some people don dey para.

Gold diggers? Everyone is a gold digger.it all depends on what u see as 'gold'.

hahaha i got you there. the truth hurts, but somehow we have to say it, bro!
we now work for our own money, men should do same and stop looking for an easy prey to milk on.

ok lady, I think what has happened here is you got older and now men are only interested in you because you have money.

Thats what it looks like to me, i don't think young chicks are having this problem.

pleep: ok lady, I think what has happened here is you got older and now men are only interested in you because you have money.
