My mother advice me never to look for a rich man who is well do whenever i'm set to get married.
she said i should marry a man that we will both start our life from the foundation, according to my mum, she said it is better to suffer with man to acquire wealth, than to go for a ready made soup.

Looking at the way things are going now, do you think a woman will now stoop so low and marry a poor man that is trying to make ends meet? Although, money is not love, but why would a parent wish her daughter to marry a poor man, i am begining to see my mum as a bad mother who does'nt wish me well.
Is it advisable i follow my mothers advice? I should stay in SURULERE instead of OLORUNSOGO.




A struggling man is out of the equation,but a well to do , hardworking man who is not that rich ,but stable financially is good , and make sure you're not a liability yourself

Your mother Season is not wrong though,but there is no assurance that a poor man make it to at least the modest of living

Your mother gave you an advice that will make you have respect and personality in your future marriage, but you are too premature to understand that aspect

If you marry a beginner, you will be able to till the soil together with him and when the blessings come, you are already a builder with him

But if you wish it must be a rich man, you never can tell which woman was behind him while he was struggling to become rich and so, you will be a stranger to his wealth and that means, you are can't take charge because he has already made his fortune
Follow your mother advice pls

It's time womem should stop waiting for ready made men, most ready made men hit to their pinnacle through the help of one invisible female and you know such men hardly path with such women even when they are married

If you are already high, you don’t need a man then.

If the men have this mentality of yours, they won’t marry ladies lower than their status.

Your mother made the right statement but you didn’t get the message. She said don’t marry a rich man, she didn’t say marry a poor man. You have run foul of false dilemma, making just only an option to counter your mum’s advice ie any man not rich is poor.

There are men with no material now cos they are currently investing their mental assets to create wealth in the future. Men with potentials, these are kinda men your mum is telling you to marry.
Adding your potential value to compliment this kind of resourceful men to create wealth will earn you a maximum eternal matrimonial respect
with just this, you have passed maturity test cheesy... Nice one !!

i am not a comfortable woman, that is why i dont feel it is right to marry a struggling man, i am not after money anyway..

"I am not after money anyway"..

Going by ur write up and comments, why do I find that quote ironic. undecided

If u are not after money then marrying a struggling, albeit poor man shouldn't be an issue to u. Neither would ur mom's advice offend u.

Biko.. tell us what u want in a man...we are eager to know

The reason why your mum advised you in that direction is because a ready made man can not be controlled, you wouldn't have a single say in the union cus you didn't bring anything.
You only need a guy with clear direction; a serious guy who knows what he wants and focus. You need a man whose stories you are part of, a man who fell and rose in your presence.

The Advice is for you to have happy home. Ready made man don't give a Bleep, he can rubbish you anytime.

The problem with lots of young women is a false sense of worth, because you're being chased by philanderous rich men doesn't mean they want to stay, many just want to smash and dash. I'm telling you this as a guyman that knows game. Men by nature have little or no rules when chasing the honey pot, a sexy cleaner is even more desirable than a high class ceo that weighs 500 pounds, unlike women where social status is everything. For men when it comes to smashing, p is p, doesn't matter her class.

Life is more than cream and hair dear. It's always glaring when a man has the potentials for a brighter future. Just go for someone who has a stable source of income and strives for better so long as he gives you peace of mind. You shouldn't be idle yourself.

Immediately you used that phrase"stooped so low", I knew you don't really know life. A rich man on the day of wedding can turn to something else in the marriage. If you have a friend and he is not rich and not poor but has prospects, go with such a person. How do you know prospects? Course he read can be a clue, his principles can be a clue, etc.

Bro, why do i think you are kind of pacifying her to marry a man with potential.
Women are not doing any man a favour by sticking with them. If they like make them marry or not, men won't die and life will move on.
Only if you know that most men are also enduring them.
Hardly will you see a nigerian relationship that is balanced.
It is all about what they can gain from men.
Most of the relationship have ever been were a waste of time and resources. I don't fancy it anymore.
How will you date a woman for 3,6 months or a year without nothing to show for it.
You look back, no boxers, no wrist watch, no singlet or wears, sneakers etc NOTHING!!!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! and you think i will be proud of such person? Someone i can remember with anything, no hosting me on outing or pool or cinema etc
It is very very very boring.
Love should be give and take.
If you are too broke to buy things for your bf in a relationship, then am sorry you have a misplaced priority.
What you need as a woman then is a job and not a relationship.

Maybe you misunderstood your mother or her message didn't come out right.

I think what she might be saying was for to you marry the man you love regardless of his financial status.

Some of this rich men have dirty money, you will have money but no peace of mind.

Some of the average Joe's, when you toil with them and things get better, at least you have peace of mind on the source of their wealth. Remember no condition is permanent.

But Las Las, marry a man you love regardless of their financial situation .

You are misinterpreting your mom’s advice. What she simply means is Marry a man with a vision, a man who is ambitious, one who will respect you and your family, most especially a man with a VISION!. Don’t go and marry one yahoo boy because he drives Venza or Benz and has a mouth watering duplex or bungalow with fat bank account. Shekinah!
