Not just comfortable guys. . . rich!! My criteria includes: Good car, landed property, good and well furnished apartment, solid investments and a very well paying job. I meet nice guys, good guys that really like me; but I can’t accept them cos they don’t have what all of the above. They could have some, but for me, the ones I listed are basic and non-negotiable Basically, I believe a guy that doesn’t have all these things at age 28-30 might never be rich again; and I don’t want to take the chances. Am I being materialistic? |

Well you're not wrong. But i'd like to ask another question too . . . would your "rich man" be wrong to treat you like a money-seeking tramp? You bet! Women who are not interested in building a life with their spouses but want to reap where they havent sown shld not cry when the marriage gets sour. Be prepared to share all the stuff the man has with his family because YOU were not there when he was toiling to get all those things you mentioned. Landed property, cars, good investments dont fall from heaven, it takes yrs of hard labour. 1 Like |

You're not wrong so long as you're not a broke-ass yourself. If you're rich and you prefer your kind that's cool. Other than that,  Of course nobody likes poverty. I'd love to marry a rich man too  but comfortable will do seeing as I won't marry an old man, therefore his career will still be growing by then. The most important thing is that he has ambitions. |

Uju, it is up to you whom you choose to be with but. . . . . . . . . . . . . .but you got this one wrong. very very very wrong. |
| Re: Am I Wrong To Want To Marry A Rich Man? by Nobody: 4:48pm On Aug 17, 2009 |
Well, I was expecting you guys to attack me anyways. @ David – I don’t expect a guy to treat me badly just because he’s rich. I like rich guys, yes, but that doesn’t mean I’m a gold digger, or I’m extravagant. Infact it’s quite the opposite. I live a very simple life and I can adjust properly to scarce resources. But I don’t want to. @ Ibime – I’m not very rich, but I’m very comfortable. That’s why I don’t want to marry a guy I’m richer than. There’s nothing I want in a guy I don’t already have myself. @ Tope – I know about all those prospect thing, I just don’t buy it. For me at 30 if you’ve not gotten it, your chances are low and you might just be a dreamer. I hate to have to give a guy a loan, give him my car to use, let him move into my house cos my apartment is better and then change the deeds of my property to our name. I hate to have to buy my clothes cos he's not rich enough to afford the clothes I wear. I hate to have to split the bills cos my pay check is better or even similar to his. And above all, I hate to think he wants me for what I have to offer!! 1 Like |

Ujujoan: you are being unrealistic. at 28-30, its only the well paying job most guys will have, unless their omo govenor etal - good luck with those, you'll be sgharing them with an army of girlfriends, mistress, concubines, etc as long as u don't mind being second wife to a potbellied 40-50 year old, you should be alright. you can always shag the driver if the viagra doesn't cut it. |

what if the rich man/guy becomes the poor man 2morrow? a poor man can also acquire those things through hard work and persistence i think you're setting your ideal man high on the scale and as a result might have too many disappointment imo. but who knows you might just met the guy/man of your perfect description. |

u r very wrong,at 30 a man should have all that,do u acquire all that at that age,so u mean a banker at 30 can get that,anyway whether the banker is goin to rob customers or a bank,my friend think twice |
| Re: Am I Wrong To Want To Marry A Rich Man? by Aproko(f): 10:32am On Aug 18, 2009 |
you are not wrong my dear , but you are wrong in thinking that a guy that hasn't 'made it' at 30 still doesnt stand a chance. you are also wrong in thinking some guy in paid employment at that age (be it bank or oil co.) will have all the things you have listed and will be willing to share with you alone. first of all, you may want to find out the average age people graduate, serve & get a job, believe me with all the ASUU strike here and there, the bobo for don dey cross 30 sef (lol). again, a guy at that age that is in a bank like you stated will not have money to spend on you as he would have taken all the available loans and his salary will be used to service his lifestyle. you will still find yourself giving him money to buy petrol in his brand new car from time to time. guys in oil & guys are the most unstable. at that age, a lot of guys just want to feel cool & date the most beautiful girl around, they probably not thinking beyond living each day the way it comes. so like someone earlier mentioned, your best bet is old money , the Ibru's, Dozie's, Adenuga's of this world. i just hope you are ready for all the issues that will come with it. abi you think you are the only girl that wants to marry rich man? all the others thinking like you will be struggling with you for the bobo and believe me some will win you (na so life be) please let other qualities & character be priority for you and then the pepper can be the icing on the cake. my 2 cents. 2 Likes |

Ujujoan:Hmmn to seek for comfort is good but to overlook other things in the bid to get comfort is a recipe for disaster. Uju those good boys that approach you and have some of ur criteria,what stops you from helping them(not finacially) to grow to ur ideal man?You can suggest biz or investment plans,You can help a man grow . . .afterall men too help women grow.The most important thing is the potentials in the man,he does not have it today does not mean he wont have it morrrow.Dont wait to have it all Uju,you might end up losing it all. Those guys that have it all HAD someone who encouraged them,they had someone by their sides when they had nothing. 1 Like |

What happened to good old work together to acquire those things at least if the man has a dream of getting there then you should try to look at that. Sometimes we all have a plain to be dis and dat at certain age but if God said dat u r not going to reach at that age what are you going to do. |
