Gflat: Being broke is painful. I've been there b4 but thank God I'm out. Life is in phases. I wouldn't want my sister or anyone I love to marry a broken man. On the other hand, it is rude to ask someone how much he earns. If he tells you where he works, you can put 2 and 2 together to determine his wage. 2 Likes |

Gflat: This happened to me, only that there were other very funny questions I was being asked. It wasn't even a formal introduction, I just attended a programme they organized and met the dad and then the interview began. Uncontrolled without tact. That was the last day I saw the parents. It doesn't end well. The girl looses out at the end. We met like a year after and I was married and doing very very well. Part of the questions was are you going to get married within the next one year to which I answered by God's grace and God actually made it happen. |

well I can say is wrong and is right it might be wrong if that's his first time of visiting the parent it might be right if he had been visiting them. some parent really care for their daughter. if they're rich they might want to know how you manage yourself monthly perhaps they want to develop you financially my cousin in laws have once ask that question and they backed the QST up with issuance of 6million cheque, for him to develop himself most esp when the parent knows their daughter really love the guy and they can't separate them this mostly occurred in a rich family homes |

Ujoan: Understand what I quoted before u start quoting my statement. He implied in his statement that No guy would marry girl when he has seen anoda girl dat is richer And for me that is a flawed statement cuz less than 10% of guys marry a girl cuz of her financial status, infact at a time her wealth acts as a repellant to potential suitors. I for example wouldn't like a bride dat is wealthier than me. Hence I used Linda ikeji as an example how a girls money isn't a criteria wen it comes to love & marriage 4 Likes |

It depends on the kind of family. If they are rich, it may mean they want to get u a better job or be sure that you can keep up with their daughter's standard. If they are poor, it means the stupid woman is poaching. To know how much they will hammer on you so that their family story will change. I'm in a similar situation but I've started handling it before the marriage. 1 Like |

mccoy47: The general assumption from that post you referenced was that most guys will go for a richer girl, because she's rich. So when you wondered why Linda isn't then married since she's so rich, I wanted to know if you thought those guys weren't coming of her? Of course she has guys all over begging to marry her because she's rich. . . Many broke girls her age are not even getting second looks from guys not to talk of proposals. The fact that's she's taking her time to choose a husband doesn't mean she doesn't have suitors. |

Mrnairalandd:dude I'm not even a cultural man btw.. Why should she ask how much I'm earning? What has true love gotta do with wealth. If I'm a multi millionaire and i marry her daughter, will she stop me from being very stingy? Or keeping babes outside? 1 Like |

Gflat: Are you trying to say that girls should never marry if the man coming for them isnt rich enough?.... lol...look dude... It isnt about the money... it involve so many things... Accepting a man who is rich but doesn't give her the happiness she ought to have experience as a lady... Accepting a man who is rich yet a gay? only married coz of family pressure? Accepting a man who is rich but flirts and live a promiscuous lifestyle? lots of rich men have dirty lifestyles dude... especially the young&rich class.... many of them cant treat a girl well xcept buying them gifts.... btw...I believe d mother of the gilr only asked to know..perhaps she had had a bad experience before and she wants to correct it and she must have asked just to know if the little thing he earns is enough... i've been asked that too and I told them the range of my income without blowing it open... 3 Likes |

"What do you do for a living" is reasonable enough, from there they can use their sense to figure things out. |

Nothing wrong if it was your daughter, you too will ask. Parents will always look for the best interest for their children. No one wants their child to marry a lazy bum. As long you can provide that you can hustle or work or put food on the table, then you are good. |
