If you are rich you dont need to maintain a Nigerian girl unless you feel like, she would look for alternative means to maintain herself while hoping and using you to pose as her guy both at home and among her friends.

There is no defined responsibilities in a relationship as far as I'm concerned, its not a job that comes with description, however when two people genuinely love\care for each other then helping out with stuffs(financial or otherwise) should come naturally.

They both should call, no one is supposed to call more but because of the way God and the society has made man the head, women expect men to take the lead, there's no law that says a man should call more, if he doesn't call then pick up that phone and call him, it only becomes a problem when only one person calls, if its so in your relationship then check am well, na only you dey the relationship not both of you.

Well, he's not responsible for her until he gets married. At the same time, she has to be sure he's not stingy. I believe if you're with a stingy person, you would definitely know. Does he spend on himself and people around him, if he has siblings or friends, how well does he give to them when they're in need. Also, if you guys are together somewhere and your purse is not around, you start feeling thirsty and he cannot get you water (knowing fully well that there is money in his pocket), then, maybe you need to think twice.

What I am trying to say is that he doesn't need to pay your rent and give you salary before you know he's not stingy...watch how he relates with other people and his reactions in seemingly little situations and you would know if he's stingy or not.
Good Luck!

Did you go into the relationship with the intention of getting financial benefit?

If you want money check the nearest bank or ATM

Why should he give you money? Are you saving money with him?

Why are some girls leeches

SpicyMimi: Hi my fellow Nairalanders,

okay, i have this friend who has been dating her guy for some few months now, and he also has plans of getting married to her but has never bought her any gift nor has he cared about her needs finacially. I personally told her the guy is a stingy guy and things might get ugly after marriage, but then again i might be wrong, so i need you all to share your views on this.

Also, would love to have answers to the following questions:

1. When should a guy start spending on a girl? ''For your info am not a gold-digger, i hardly collect stuffs from my boyfriend but atleast am glad he isnt the stingy type''

2. Why do guys so much believe in the word 'Give and take'?
What's with all these talk about buying her things or spending for her like she's crippled? I love and respect independent women who dont really need your money to look good or pay their bills. If a girl expects me to pick all her bills then she had better be ready to answer to my every call and she shouldnt expect much respect from me.

I believe in spending for a girl out of love, not out of necessity.

What are you talking about undecided

What wifely duties? undecided

Did you see anything in the topic that said the guy wants her to perform wifely duties undecided

This is how people fail exams. Stay on the topic and keep your sentiments to yourself.

Royou: The only responsibility is to be faithful to the relationship! If u get gifts and all - cool! If it doesn't - that's life!a relationship is not a welfare system; friendship is about looking out for each other-all parties must learn to give-it should even be competitive!the average nigerian woman only wants to receive an ipad and buy u a swimming short!it won't work!
its not friendship, its a relationship, bsyds friends give gifts to each other, buh wenever it comes to giving their GF naija guys begin to cry lyk babies. I pity your girlfriend sha

Re: What Are The Responsibilities Of A Boyfriend Or Fiance? by Nobody: 4:31pm On Mar 29, 2013
A man has no responsibility taking care of a woman who isnt his wife or daughter. if that is done, it isnt compulsory but out of the man's benevolence.

On the other hand girls misuse the priviledge of any man that says hello to them should start taking care of them. Even to the point of using a guy who she calls ordinary friend but you want him to bankroll you for nothing. She has no dream of settling with you. Women make themselves worthless with such cheap behaviour.

OP. Get that into your head.

#hungry nigerian girls at work#. Smh.

Chrisbenogor: How the hell do these threads make front page?


Dear OP,
How convenient for you to suddenly reduce your friend's relationship to just one thing - Money.

1. When should a guy start spending on a girl?
It is not the primary responsibility of your boyfriend to "spend" on you. Infact when a guy starts by "spending" there is a huge probability he wants to "give and take". People are different and I am sure there are happily married couples out there whose husbands do not just dole out candy at every opportunity. Your friends parents/guardians are still alive presume or she should have a job to primarily take care of her, it's her responsibility.
Super story

2. Why guys believe in Give and take?
No guy who wants you in a serious relationship would be thinking of give and take. It's ladies like you who have formed the opinion that a guy who is a spendthrift is the correct guy and the more conservative guy is stingy. At that point it ain't rocket science, services has been paid for in cash, the payee expects service in kind for the pizza or the blackberry z10 he bought, simples.

3. Who should call more undecided undecided

My advice is go back and look out for the important things in a mans character that would make him a solid rock for you tomorrow instead of chasing flimsy things like who spends on you or not. Men do not want a financial or even an intellectual liability at home, grow your sense of pride as an individual most especially as a lady and whatever you do kindly stop advising your friend or anyone on what makes a marriage ugly.

Cheers.
