One principle I know work well for anyone is give them generously when you have and they won't complain when you tell them you don't have. It is like making a large deposit in a bank account, minor withdrawals(when you say no) wont affect the relationship. The truth is only teenagers enjoy free relationships, as an adult, you must be response-able, you know what I mean.

Errm, i have seen how most Nigerians guys complain about how their ladies love money and so on but the truth is everyone is craving for a better life and future. If not, why do some guys also say they can't marry an uneducated lady or an unemployed lady?

Anyways, here are some things i feel guys can do to limit the way some ladies prey on them.

1. Its simple be honest with her.
If your budget can't handle going out, tell her. If you can't afford the expensive dresses, bags and so on, tell her. She is going to respect your willpower and how responsible you are with money. If she balks, she is not the girl for you.

2. Be honest with yourself.
Truth is, some guys like to brag, show off and what's not...you clearly know you can't afford some things she requests for but you decide to play along. The more you prove you can afford those things, the more requests she brings.

3. Save for get aways and trips.
You don't just plan trips and expensive shopping overnight, you save for them...it makes spending a lot easier and fun.

4. Save for presents also.

If you explain things to her properly, i'm sure she'll understand if she means well for you and if not, what will be will be.

5. Tell her you can't withdraw from your account because of BVN grin


Indirectly girls are liability?

OP, I was just discussing this topic with a friend yesterday, she said that being honest is the best way, you should tell the girl first thing that, I no too get money and if you earn 100k, don't go and tell her u earn 100k, tell her u earn less and if she loves you, or even likes you, she'll stay with u. If she came to dig gold then, immediately you say, 'No much money' she'll be at the door asap. And some guys don't even help their matter, them go brag say na der father born Buhari, they are step brothers to Buhari and that their father is Obj grin FYI, I'm not making any political jokes, I'm just trying to show how outrageous the kinda lie guys tell to girls, just to get her to bed *Smh*

Be a man and lead your house.

Set a budget, open a separate family account and dump the budget amount in there.

If she balks, kick her to the curb and get a new more compliant one.

Nuff said.

Some of you guys make me sick with your effeminate questions. Are there any real men left at home? angry

Thank you. A little planning will solve this money issue

Nice one miss. From what you'v written here, the most important persona is HONESTY. If one is honest what's the need to fake what you don't have just to impress chicks. I detest fake & proud peeps tho, so I can easily relate to this. Nicey!

Exactly. Thanks for understanding...i can see from these comments that a lot don't understand me here

Better place her on a weekly allowance if she will accept to be loyal. Say N3k to N5k per week.

Lool, thanks for the generosity

Some of you women, don't need romantic relationships. What you need is intervention of an NGO that helps the less privileged
