What Else Is The Use Of A Girlfriend by marveangel(m): 3:37pm On Aug 12, 2014
I know that after reading this post many girls will call me sorts of names coz they are emotional creatures, they think with their heart and everything is a male-female war for them....I completely understand.....But there is one question that has being on my mind for weeks now and I just have to ask........."What is the use of a girlfriend apart from Ssex?". YES......what is the usefulness of a girlfriend apart from Ssex.......I get how a wife is useful to her husband...I totally understand that but I still don't see how a girlfriend is important to a guy...and don't start talking about her later becoming my wife...my question is Girl Friend..right now....present not future that no one is sure of. I for one I wash my clothes myself and many times I cook my meal, itz not like am expecting her to make money one day and come pay my bride price or get me a job.......I got my job myself....even the car I drive and she sometimes drive I bought myself and I fuel myself.......SO really apart from sex what else is a GF useful for.....yet she expect me to take her out regularly,buy her gifts, recharge her phone and still call her.....all this expenses and she thinks one night of sex covers it all....SMH......abeg how much Ashawo dy charge per night

This is deliberately misleading. grin Why do you need to downplay the romantic connotation of a girfriend? A girlfriend (in today's world) is not just a friend who is a girl. She must be romantically involved with a guy before she can be called such.

In this light, what then is the "benefit" of a girlfriend? grin

If you have a girlfriend and you are not gonna marry her in the next six months-one year then you are seriously wasting your time, money and peace of mind.

Life - Gf Equals peace of mind.

And if you mistakenly invest emotionally in a woman who is not that much invested in you = DOOM.

The romantic part is just an added benefit, which isn't peculiar to Girl-friends. Ask the sex-workers in my area and "friends with benefit".

Perchance, you didn't know there are ways to be romantic without going all sex-y and smoochy and still be considered a Girl-Friend undecided

grin so what separates girlfriends from friends with benefit? The 2 groups are friends with the guy and they are romantically involved as well. grin

Okay what's your definition of a girlfriend.

FWB:- So, you want to embark on a casual, no-strings attached relationship? Just sex, no emotional commitment; get in, get off, get out. Having a friend with benefits is like a dream come true to most, but that doesn't mean it can't necessarily turn into a nightmare if not handled correctly - Elitedaily.

^^^ There, that's the definition of Friends with benefit.

You should know by now, which is All weather and Fair Weather cheesy.

Or Do you want the definition of a Girl-Friend?

Ɨƚa..Ɨƚa..Ɨƚa.. Madam, I need your own opinion. Besides, the definition you provided represents stability. That means I get the stuff regularly without the emotional baggage. This looks "all weather" to me o. grin

Please who is a Girl-Friend? Is she different from a girlfriend (without the dash you deliberately put there)? It seems you are trying to distinguish between the two girl friends grin

A girlfriend is a female friend, possibly specifying a female partner with whom one is romantically and/[size=14pt]or[/size] sexually involved. - wikipedia


That said, whatever rocks your boat undecided

You can't keep running from emotional baggage. That's the surest way to learn Emotional Intelligence.

@TheEmboldened gives me the impression that You're yet to, or simply do not understand what really matters.

A girlfriend (as it is supposed to be) is first and foremost your friend. Not necessarily a wife to be and should be treated like you would a friend, with respect. That said, anything else you two decide to add, which are not contained in honorable friendship codes would be termed "Your Business"

My sister, I do not endorse romantic relationships without possible marriage in sight. I feel it is largely meaningless to be romantically involved with someone you have no intention to marry.

Well, I think we are almost on the same page. grin

Re: What Else Is The Use Of A Girlfriend by kaboninc(m): 7:44pm On Aug 12, 2014
Personally for me, I just want a friend. Firstly a friend. Then if its possible we take it to the next level, fine. If not, we remain as good friends. I believe a relationship built on a solid foundation will stand the test of time. Wives and husbands and girlfriends and boyfriends and sugar mummies and daddies will come and go. But a good friend, will always stay. So if your boyfriend/girlfriend is truly a friend to you.... So answering the poster's question, if myself and my girlfriend are good friends, then she's of tremendous good to me. Otherwise, its useless.

I think how a typical Nigerian girl views dating and relationship is what the op has problem with,they expect you spend much money,energy and time while they sit back and return it with sex...

Guys are d cause of this,they don't mind doing all that just for sex and when their face clear and feel they are losing much they start complaining ....

however,there are still girls out there that understand how relationship and dating should be even though they are few..

you might be Lucky to meet them later on.
