On otherwords, You're looking for made men abi, billionaires and millionaires??

Sharap there.

Because I don't want a man with an unskilled occupation doesn't automatically mean I want a millionaire. If it's not black that doesn't mean it's white. There are other colours.

Before you start, even your red pill doesn't encourage men to stay basic and average.

I recently hung out with a group of girlfriends I hadn’t seen in a very long time. I’d like to say that it’s because we’re all busy,so I was grateful to get the opportunity to catch up with my girls.

As usual, those ladies that were single lamented about their nonexistent relationship status. “Where were all the good guys?” “Why do they all live with their mama or have multiple baby mamas?” “How come they don’t have great jobs or make a lot of money?” I quietly sat there listening, not missing any of my single days. However, the more I listened, the more questions formulated in my head. “What constitutes as a great job?” “What is ‘a lot’ of money?” After all, those things are pretty relative, so I was curious to learn what types of guys they were attracting and why they felt these men weren’t good enough.

One friend said, “The doorman in my building asked me out on a date. Can you believe it? Like I’d date ‘the help’.” Suddenly, I began to understand why some of these women were still single.

“What’s wrong with the doorman?” I asked.

“Uh, he’s a doorman,” she responded, as if the answer was obvious.

I followed up by asking if it was just doormen she was against, or any man who was in a service/customer service type of job. After all, “the help” is not limited to doormen, maids, butlers, janitors or any other job that reminds her of “slavery” (her words, not mine). Service industries also include positions within sectors such as hospitality, sales, public health and any other position where your responsibility is to service or be of service to other people. But because those were still considered service industry jobs in a sense, were they too deemed not respectable? “Would she not date a man in any of those fields?” I thought to myself.

I am not one. One thing I have come to realize is that God has given men the grace to make money. There is no pregnancy or child care to slow them down so they can easily fly. I have seen struggling guys become millionaires few years later, men I never imagined could make it. Even my house agent during nysc became a millionaire years later through business, thank God I didn't look down on him and kept him as a friend. So far as a man is hardworking, has a vision and isn't satisfied with where he is, don't chase him away. That's my opinion smiley.

Besides why is this new nairaland emoji not showing on my own phone!

When I said you, I meant men In general not you specifically.

A man cannot just call himself an "entrepreneur". Its too vague, they need to be specific.

Instead say "I'm the ceo of so and so", or " I'm into so and so"

Men that just say they're entrepreneurs are trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes, it's all smokes and mirrors, the more you look the less you see.

But do you agree with his last point?
A real entrepreneur today can become poor tomorrow.
A "poor" doorman today can become a wealthy man today.

The point is that " current occupation" should be the least attribute to lookout for in a potential partner.

Look deeper at their focus, motivation, psychology, how self driven they are, dreams, goals, passion, maturity.

Choice! I never like military men..
I then did my NYSC in the Navy..
That was when I swore by everything that I will never have anything to do with a military man.

Someone has said he doesn't like people in medicine /health.

I am a medical doctor.
I didn't ask him why..
It's his choice.

Look up the dictionary definition of entrepreneurship.

If you really understand the dictionary meaning of the word entrepreneurship, you won't say how is selling watches and wig entrepreneurship.


I sense you only regard big and new businesses as entrepreneurial ventures. You need to read and understand your dictionary properly.

Even if he is the richest man in the world, what does he do?

"Entrepreneur" is not an occupation.

It's like me saying "I'm in the medical line" when I should clearly state..I'm a medical doctor.

It's not always about being wealthy.
Some women are interested in knowing the real source of income /occupation of a man
