i'm not trying to buy anybody's love. i did alot of those out of the kindness of my heart. in reality i'm naturally a giver even  with my family and friends. my boyfriend didnt ask me for anything. I did it because he told me that growing up he never received gifts just money so i wanted to make him feel happy thats all. i am not stupid either if i feel liek ur not treating me the way i want to at the moment, i wont keep doing things fOR U. NOBODY WILL EVER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME. I have a good judge of character but ofcourse guys are fools and they do stupid things, even though i know he loves me very much, i found out he randomly talks to some chicks on facebook so i decided i wont be doing anything for him. got him nothing on valentines day.
I dont think its wrong to give. i would only say its wrong if the person demands it. in a relationship, it should be 50?50

ayettymama:

THEN WHAT IS SHE DOIN THEN

chaaaaale ooo  shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

she popped to england and started with the wrong crew!!

where did she meet your friend?? south east??

see what my relatives are doin wit thier money!!!

if i find her i go beat her well well!!
Now you are talking like a proper mama. grin Where in London are you from? East London? grin

It is not about mixing with the wrong crew. She found a man she loves and he loves her too. Even before he knew this was a lady with exceeding cash inflow.

So you are saying you cannot spend lavishly on a guy? embarassed cry
Re: Is It Wrong To Spend A Lot On A Guy? by ayettymama(f): 3:20am On Mar 09, 2010

but that is diff
casual gift buying is diff

buying ur man a car, expensive wristwatch or payin his rent

*shivers at the thought*

@Saluva ok but do u think that he even appreciates any of these gifts?
Re: Is It Wrong To Spend A Lot On A Guy? by Lamii: 3:20am On Mar 09, 2010
@ayetteymama
u make it seem like her bf is some broke man she met at KFC. lol  cheesy
but i agree with u thought that a lot of women spend on men w/o being sensible abt it.
that's why i say they should make sure the guy is sound before doing it. and make sure they won't have regrets afterwards.
Re: Is It Wrong To Spend A Lot On A Guy? by iice(f): 3:22am On Mar 09, 2010
@Topic, it's not wrong.
I would, I do, I did grin Just because i wanted to and i could.  It's ok as well if he refuses them.  You don't own someone just because you paid for something for them or spent something on them.  
Re: Is It Wrong To Spend A Lot On A Guy? by sagluva(f): 3:24am On Mar 09, 2010
@ Pweety4me yea i think he really appreciates it because he always brings up how grateful he is. he never asked for the gifts. this post wasnt really to ask people to judge whether my boyfriend is using me or not, just wanted to see if its bad to spend on a guy in general

Thats like me. And I've had situations where some try to take advantage.

Girl just shine your eyes and make sure he's not using you mehn. Nothing wrong with spending on him as long as he does not begin to see it as an expectation.

let me tell u this

every woman- esp fashionable women like me

like to buy things for thier men

we all want to do it
watches lates silver cufflinks its something we love to do
but u have to wait for the right time to do it

ie when ur married!!!!

theres nothing wrong with looking after ur man

but not foolishly and not b4 ur married!!

because

eni afe la mo, aoo meni to feni

u dont no what the guy is doin with u, u have no way of assesing whether hes using you, a responsible man should never take expensive things from u!!!

its not right!!- lets not get carried away by the proportion of broke men in london andbe sensible with our cash pls

recently someone inno got bumped out of £7000 thats not childs money

@poster u are not God u cannot be expert at judging character

be sensible with ur money let the man lavish u! theres a reason for that custom!

Nah, she got the money.

If you care abt someone, you'll do anything to alleviate that person of pain and stress.

And if she's naturally sweet, the first thing on her mind would be to help him.

But me, buy a car and pay his rent, dude must have lost his fcukking mind. Even if I was tht rich. . . .

What I find disgusting is a man using a woman as a personal bank acct.
Re: Is It Wrong To Spend A Lot On A Guy? by sagluva(f): 3:29am On Mar 09, 2010
My boyfriend didnt even know i had alot of money when he met me.  He's not broke. he is a college student so he cant afford to buy me half the stuff i buy him. it doesnt mean he doesnt buy me gifts. he does but they arent in the same price range but it doesnt matter to me because i think tis the thought that counts not the amount. A guy  can buy u alot of expensive things and still not  treat u right. it goes both ways. Why is it that women feel that when a man spends alot on them, the man loves him but if a girl does it, the guy is using her? a guy can also spend alot on u coz he wants sex

Re: Is It Wrong To Spend A Lot On A Guy? by Nobody: 3:33am On Mar 09, 2010
Well it's not wrong, but I really don't like bringing material things into relationships. And I think husbands should have more privileges than boyfriends who is still even in college.

I totally understand what you are saying ayettymama and I share your view. Which was why I stated in the beginning that I have my reservations about a woman spending too much on me. Of course I do expect her to. It is a show of appreciation from her heart that she truly cares and I matter to her. We guys love it as well. But the keyword is MODERATION.


If I see a latest fashion in store, and I like it for my sister or my woman, I buy it for them. I do not consider that buying her gifts is buying her love, nor do I consider she is doing likewise. I believe when we entertain that -ve thought too much, it begins to make a relationship faulty. Nevertheless, there are times she would demand for certain things, which as a guy you can still afford, but you outrightly refuse to buy it, so also a lady must know when to stamp her foot down and say NO to silly and unnecessary request from a guy to buy him things he fancies in a store.

Hope we are on the same page now? wink

If you have enough to spend on both you and him why not?

If he asks you to help "both of you" [like pay for the restaurant bill] and you say you dont have the money, its okay if he doesnt fuss. But then 20 mins later you call him to tell him "OMG, I just bought the most gorgeous dress at the mall just right now", what do you expect him to do? Not fuss?

Thatz being greedy and selfish. And a lot of women do it more often in order to defend themselves from being used.

There's a different between defense and stinginess [aka selfishness]. I hope we all can differentiate between the two lol

There is absolutely nothing wrong in spending on your Man(especially if he deserves it).
In Naija they might but where I stay this kinda stuff happens all the time.
Men spend on women so why shouldn't women spend on men.
