Respect everyone's opinion, if it despise you so much, shake your head and move on, it's more mature.

I pray nothing brings you to Nigeria, then you will understand money is needed to be romantic in Nigeria. A poor/ hungry man can never be romantic this is fact.

morethanadoll:


I've actually been considering visiting your country to gain a clear perspective. This is only my opinion and from previous experiences, romance doesn't have to cost a penny. Waking up to your woman and saying good morning beautiful is romance. Grabbing her from behind in an embrace when she is cooking dinner and telling her you love her is romance. Massaging her feet and back after a long day is romance. Writing her a note and hiding it in her car or purse only for her to find it and smile on her way to work is romance. The poorest person can still be romantic.

majekdom2:
The thing is a poor man in Nigeria is different from a poor man in Nigeria. Two different environments. What's obtainable as a poor man in America is not obtainable as a poor man in Nigeria. I will be glad to host you when you visit Nigeria.

I can't speak for the gold diggers since I have never been or will be one. I can speak for myself, as I did, because I know who I am because I'm aware. I keep myself a certain way because I work hard to that. What I do with my money is my choice, whether it is to buy makeup or the many rings you are referring to. Growing up in a poor family in the United States, I have learned as an adult the importance of providing for yourself and to not depend on others, to include a man for anything. The many rings on my finger are not real gold; they are merely a cheap fashion statement. A ring on the ring finger is a man-made idea for marriage. For me, marriage is the idea, the faithful and loyal practice with your spouse, and the vow before our God and for me, that is good enough. No ring can and will ever take the place of those things. The vow in which I take before God and the man that will be my husband is sacred enough and I won't need a ring to validate that commitment. I will continue to wear as many cheap gold rings as I want and on any finger that I choose.

morethanadoll:

I agree with this statement. I don't care how much money a guy has. If he can't make me laugh, be romantic without spending a dime, and I don't enjoy being in his presence, all of his fortune means nothing. I make my own money and can provide for myself. I look for a man to grow old and share life with, not for the dollars.

Tosinville:
madam, why don't u go get married to Adam sandlers or akpororo? After sometime what u will need from him will be different from that. Men, you can only try but don't think you can satisfy these females.

Venom104:



LOL see these girls.. its funny that 99% of the time, its the rich guys that are funny and romantic... etc etc

JahzaraAde:


Hmm Venom104, 99%? That's a steep figure..

Part of being romantic is understanding that my desire for you is not synonymous with my desire for your money...

Being romantic doesn't come at a huge cost (most times, it costs nothing at all). If you're 'rich', stay humble. I'll rather be pleasantly surprised by your affluence much later in the relationship, than to be shown it at the very start (you dey do fraud?). I'm very comfortable in my father's house atm, I'm not a charity case..

sinizia:


No. He wrote "K" because he had no answers to my arguments.

Acekidc4:


He wrote "K" cos he doesn't want to start arguing with you.

Venom104:


yeah.. im just saying its easier for girls (because they choose to) to see the romantic side of a rich guy than that of a broke guy.. what the modern day girls perceive as "romantic" mostly comes with cost.. sooo...

redcliff:


There are two type of poor in nigeria if you want to classify it in that sense. Are you talking about someone who is not begging for food but cannot really boast of a good amount of money in his account or someone who struggles to eat daily?

Venom104:


Maybe im referring to the guy not begging for food... but generally i just mean a guy that is struggling one way or the other financially..

Lol, which is a shame right?

I'm sure there are quite a few Nigerian ladies who don't equate romance with wealth.

Yet, I must stress that wealthy guys can and do get ladies easily - after all, affluence is probably the biggest predictor of a secure future. Whether this in itself is correct is a debate for another day..

Take care

redcliff:


That I dont agree with you. Being romantic involves two things. Either its learnt of its inborn as a result of external influences. There are so many women who are with men that dont have dimes and these women are way out of their league if you are to make that comparison. It just depends on what you say and do and how you say it and your timing. If you can get this right, then you may be seen in that light. Women believe what they hear quicker than what they see. Its all in the words my brother. I am saying this because I know someone who does not have money but he rolls with women above his league.

What is romantic differs from person to person.. But i know if a guy can afford a surprise trip to lets say Paris without doing or saying much throughout the trip, he'd still be more romantic than a guy that spends an entire day doing lovey dovey with most Nigerian girls..

Yo smart. [s]Now I'm thinking of getting you pregnant so I will have kids that think like you.[/s]

I need to copy some of what you said here in my next article, shey you no go sue me for piracy abi?

Thank you joor.

Nobody is getting anybody pregnant. Similarly, there shall be no kisses exchanged Mr...

I don't mind you incorporating my opinion into your article. Glad to be of help. I don't think you would be caught out for plagerism, as I haven't published that particular sentence in a book or an essay (yet).

Although referencing me would be appreciated (via the Vancouver system please ).

All the best with your article, I'm sure it'll be an interesting read!

redcliff:

All this stress just to get a girl, no one is ready to do all that dis days. In the days of old, wit less materialism. This might work but nowadays, quote me, it is all about money and getting a life. The thin line between love and money will soon disappear and in no distant time, love will be equal to money and vice versa. The ladies out there ain't worth it. Even if u give them all they want, money, love u r funny, confident. Anytin u can think of, it won't stop them from cheating on you. They won't even bath an eyelid before they jump into another man's bed. And I know u will say they are still decent girls out there. I agree too, but most of the girls you think are decent, appear that way because of the way they present themselves to you. I hope to marry a very decent wife but ain't doing all that shit for any lady. They ain't worth it

For most Nigerian girls.. saying good morning from your drop top car is what is romantic.. not what you described above..

It is not my thing to keep a girl's company while another nigger does the banging. Your "fine girl chewing gum" theory is pure foolishness. Let he who does the banging keep the company.
