People who say "Relationship is a scam " have not found true love or don't know how to keep a good relationship... Saying this makes them feel better grin...

There's still true love out there

If there are 500 relationship
Please tell me the numbers that are true love?
Relationship and marriages are conditional love-- most time we all find a common ground

Youths of these days love any discussion involving sex or relationship, I see this thread exceeding 5 pages. This I have seen.
ofcouse it will exceed 5 pages: Our fathers don't know how to play politics hence its difficult for a common man or a youth to personalise it so to have meaningful discussion, we see our Religeous Leaders as gods so we follow as them as sheep, only yes and amen is allowed. any personaliz issue stire up discussion. As for the matter on ground: Love exist, Relationship is not a scam, if she love you cus of money and you love her cus of her attractiveness its still love and relationship. am using attractiveness not beauty cus beauty is a combination of qualities character included. Nigerian problem is that we can't stand the truth hence we live in assumtion mood. if she say she love u, u assume she will love u without money, question: is that what she said? if she tell u the truth will u still treat her right? for her honesty?

That is why all relationship will never lead to marriage. People just have different opinions about relationship. Some people see it as the highest bidder get me or the most handsome.
We all go into relationship for different reasons that is where attraction comes into place.

That is why I will never saying this, love is never enough, you need discipline, commitment and respect.

I quite agree.

And it's human nature to be selfish
I believe it's a borrowed nature, else we shall never experience any progress, selfishness is anti progress and i hate it with passion.
Re: Why Relationship Is A Scam by Didismart11(m): 6:11pm On Apr 14, 2021
Yes! I agree. Relationship today is nothing but scam. Everything looks out to his benefit. And money is the decisive factor. Do you blame them? No. Hunger and greed are two terrible infections.

Lot of people will say they want true love
lot of people are doing what the OP said-- sad reality
I personally see the world from treating people the way you want to be treated
There are few words I like to use respect, consideration and Fairness (treated people the way you want to be treated)

I agree with u on this. Not everybody wants true love and that’s fine. It is only a problem when is mislabel ur relationship. U shud know the exact kind of relationship Ure into and work with it accordingly. True love isn’t even easy to find these days bt it exists and No relationship is perfect so it depends on what works for u bt know u are responsible for ur choices.

it is not what it is dude.
no stars to thank either.
someday u will get mature enough to know what u want in a relationship.
not all r scam.

matured! u barely even know me.

Agreed not all are scam but majority are if u know what time it is
if u have no stars to thank, maybe u aren't aware of the serpent most men are dealing with in their marriages which was all sweet in the beginning and the cat was let outta the bag after marriage.
what we see is what we get. Just be thankful for what u see.

Please don't insult animals. Animals are far superior to human when it comes to a capacity for pure, unconditional and non-judgemental love.

Re: Why Relationship Is A Scam by PrimadonnaO(f): 6:37pm On Apr 14, 2021
I don't subscribe to this thought process, though.

The points you made are logical but very debatable.

Yes, humans are by nature, selfish, but that's why people need to be in love for a relationship to be fulfilling. Love conquers our innate selfish nature - it sees you making sacrifices and putting the other person's interest above yours.

See, love grows, a relationship matures. But you have to first give it a chance right?

We mostly give chances to our preferences.

My preference in men includes; being a Christian, being literate, being responsible, older than I am, hygienic, etc.

This means that I consciously give only people with those qualities a chance. And that's where love starts.

But that in no way means I love them because of their religion or age or hygiene.

If I were to have no parameters and gave everyone a chance, I'd probably fall in love with people I never imagined I could love.

That's just it. So relationships aren't a scam, neither is love necessarily conditional. smiley

Greetings y'all,

Just making my debut in the romance section.

Why relationship is a scam.

Human beings are selfish by nature and everyone is only looking out for himself/herself. This is an undeniable fact. This fact also applies to relationships.

He is rich and she's beautiful; he wants a beautiful lady to match his wealth while she wants a rich guy to complement her beauty. Both of them reach a compromise to enter into a relationship since their selfish interest has been met.

When you also consider other various qualities such as Intelligence, education, complexion, character, height, sense of humor amongst other biases that shapes our selfish interest; both parties reach a compromise when their interest is met.

Both parties profess love and a relationship is established which is usually expected to lead to marriage. This is usually the case of some beautiful marriages around us.

Things usually fall apart the moment a partner meets another person who is higher in the scale of preference to satisfy his/her interest.

Then, the losing party feels cheated, betrayed and eventually turns into a feminist or misogynist.

We usually pretend our relationships are born out of true love forgetting that true love is not usually conditional or selfish.

If you have this understanding, you'll no longer kill yourself when your partner finds a better partner that will fulfill his/her dreams (selfish interest)

Know this and know peace. cool

P.S: This narrative does not negate the existence of true love which accounts for less than 5% of marriages today.
Because you keep spending without returns...who does that

Atleast she stroked his ego. If he didn't need her for something he wouldn't go for her. Just saying

it's was a beautiful piece but ended up spoiling with the last line because there is absolutely no love in relationships.

marriage is not for everybody. the earlier young people knows it's a business investment that need alot of focast because it's evolved the unseen future the better it's is for all.

See the people that call themselves matured people opening their dirty mouth to say that relationship is a scam....

For all of you who agreed that it is a scam, you guys are the main problem in your relationship and and that is why you believe it is a scam.

Let those who are enjoying their relationship continue to enjoy it abeg... Don't listen to this scrap that the writer put up here. Nonsense

After getting into wrong relationships, having wrong motives of entering the relationship in the first instance, una no begin talk rubbish. You will not ask God for direction on who you should start a relationship and settle down with. You will use your ordinary eyes and be choosing forgetting that anything at the realm of sight is temporal.
