Im always amused to hear young men talk. You think you can handle an equal or higher earning woman? There is a reason men marry below their economic bracket.

Women will rubbish you if you are not favouring them economically. One day, they'll walk out on you, knowing very well they'll be fine without you. Half of the decisions will be taken by them. They will demand equality. You don't want to be in that shoe bro.

The world used to frown at social climbers but today, we have realized the end truly justifies the means. Call it what you want but marriage still remains one of the valuable tools to personal, spiritual, professional and life changing growth.

Getting married to a valuable individual can open doors for you in places you never dare step into, give you exotic citizenship or even make you entitled to a bloodline/monarchy beyond what you as an individual or if married to a 'lower class' individual can achieve. Your children sef fit fine pass you because of your marriage decisions.

Any aspiring individual is to open his eyes wide when making such decisions. It used to be women concerned about this before but even men need to take cognizance of this fact in these times.

Me and my younger sister were having our usual afternoon gossips and gists and something came up.
I asked after a close friend of hers whom i know to be very affluent and she erupted that i should stop asking after her that she doesn't support me dating any of her close friends. I asked her why, she said i have nothing to offer her friend. I mean, imagine, I'm some years away from 30, working with several firms of which 1 is among the top 10 highest grossing in the country and this big head has the audacity to tell me i can't hook her rich friend.

I take us down memory lane to the reason why she ditched her immediate ex, she told me the dude was struggling and she didn't see much prospect in him, her childhood crush oo. I asked her what's the difference between me and her? She couldn't come up with a valid response. She kept on hollering that I'm supposed to be a provider. Provider my ass.

As a man, I've set the standard of not getting involved with women below my economic class or earnings and i see nothing wrong with it. If women see marrying above one's class as normal, we men shouldn't accept anyone below par also.

Woman wey no get shingbai for account go dey give man wey dey earn conditions, what absurdity!

Men are made to be providers, a woman's job is to assist where necessary.

Your quality of life is sumtotal of your choices, decisions, actions and inactions.

Nobody forces anybody to do anything. It's those who can't think for themselves and follow the herd mentality I pity in all these. Do what's right for you and pleases God, the world will adjust. Una no dey tire.

It's how bad guys want good girls, dumb guys want intelligent girls and vice versa etc. Man was made to provide, it's not the job of a woman to, this is unnegotiable. Even if you go for a rich girl, you don't expect her to provide. The earlier you start working towards being in charge of provision, the better.

Well, at the end of the day, you would still marry a woman who earns less than you. That is the truth, especially for Nigerian men who are antsy about their wives out-earning them. It is hypergamy women always aspire to men higher than they (women). It is evolutionary and
biologically. Heck, it is even economical, if not for gender equality which has reduced the number of jobs available to men.

However, where you come top is when you get women interested in you as you earn well. You would be accused of cheating by your wife or serious girlfriend, but to me, you are merely exercising your options. As long as you provide for the family and don't carry diseases to madam, I say go ahead. You are enjoying your prime, just as she had hers. Life na turn by turn.

P.S. My sister has told me the same and I laughed it off. Women are the same everywhere. In fact, Nigerian women's hypergamy is small. Swiss and Chinese Singaporean women's hypergamy are off the roof.

When women get MONEY, many feel they don't need men.
but
when men get money, they want women or they want to provide for their families.


WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE just know that many who have no money may have wonderful character and true love with awesome loyalty... but once money comes, it may all change.


So choose wisely


It's better to choose a woman who has money and needs a man than to choose a woman who doesn't have money but needs a man( you can't determine wether she needs the man because she is poor and when you raise her economic value she now decides she doesn't need a man because she now can fend for herself).

This is how lots of divorce come from, a lot who are very poor and humble now become tyrants at home because they no longer see the value of a man since he has changed their economic bracket upwards. That's why I support those who go for people of higher economic value because they are more certain it's not because the women need palliatives as the first reason for entering a relationship.

I'm not against those going for women of low economic value with great personalities but I'm saying it's a better safety net for the man going into relationships with women who come from higher economic bracket with great personalities than their counterparts in the lower echelon.

Re: Why I Can't Marry Below My Economic Class. by Gerrard59(m): 1:22pm On Apr 20
This thread reminds me of my comment on another thread which stated that marriage benefits women more than men. Apparently, judging from your sister's friend and her response. it does:

Gerrard59:
Well, the OP is largely correct as modern-day women are still hypergamous even though they now earn good money and have greater freedoms. The benefits most men would get have been reduced, with nothing to replace those lost benefits. You compete with women in the same school admissions and labour market, etc. There are some industries and roles men cannot even break into simply because women have occupied everywhere. So, women have reaped these benefits WHILE maintaining hypergamy - where as the man, you still have to be at the top of your game financially and societal status.

One would then ask himself, what is the benefit of being a man? Only wealthy men benefit from being men; other men don't share whatever so-called patriarchal benefits feminazis claim male folks enjoy.

In conclusion, the only benefit men derive from marriage is having children within a two-parent household, as wedlock does more harm to both genders and the greater society. Also, having children from different women whom you as the man are not married to is absolutely nonsensical and financially draining. No one should mention sex, as many married men don't even get sex from their wives, and when they do, it is timetable-based. Who makes this timetable? The woman. The reason married men patronise sex workers more than even single men, and I am willing to bet that sexually active married men get less sex while being married than single men who are equally sexually active.

So, where is the benefit?

Men will never raise their standards because of their own egos

Most men can’t handle the mindset of women on their economic class for too long because they are too serious like you are about life

They have no time neither the desire to act stupid or airheaded just to appease your ego (which is what men term girliness) so most men will often end up desiring that false sense of manliness the bimbos below their level provide


The air headed characteristics of women below their class who pretend to be ‘soft and feminine’ just to get a man to dump all their responsibilities on will still appeal to them later on

Men want to lead all the time, you cannot lead a hustler so most of you will still marry bimbos with nothing to offer

A neighbor of mine got ditched by his young beautiful wife of over 18 years. The woman started making lil change from the depo business the husband opened for her.
Automatically, the man become ugly to her. She moved away with the kids. The man dey depression for like 1 year, he is better now tho.

If he married within his class, this wouldn't have happen. Women from struggling homes have no heart, their loyalty is based on how well you can keep providing.

Lesson learnt, open the business in your name and insist on receiving the funds made. Otherwise, no shop.

Being feminine, beautiful, inspirational and family oriented is what you speak of in derogatory terms like this cheesy

You say men want to lead but this is the classic lack of accountability most women exhibit. It has been proven since beginning of time that women love a man to be in charge; and so men step up to this to cater to what women want.

Even you making noise here wants a man who is in charge but you can pretend all you like. And if you say you're not then you're a 0.1% minority of women who all mostly want this.

You have resulted to guilt tripping and shaming tactics simply because a man set his standards.

Shioor.

At least the "bimbo" will take good care of the kids and inspire the man to take his family to the greatest possible height.

While the "hustler" slaves away at a job or career, ends up alone and bitter, freezes her eggs at 35 and goes on the hunt for a weak idiot to have a baby and do life all alone.

BTW again, it has been proven that an overwhelming majority of women prefer to be a "bimbo" and raising a family is one of the most important jobs in the world, certainly more important than a career in "marketing" or "linguistic studies".

Again, shioor cheesy

Woman wey no get shingbai for account go dey give man wey dey earn conditions, what absurdity!

Let's stop fooling ourselves with love shi. Marriages and relationships are transactional.
It's an arrangement and one has to make the best of choices. What are you bringing to the table?

I blame low self esteemed men for putting a false sense of value on our women. The thing dey mess with their brain. The only thing most of them have to offer is sex, nothing more.

Men, raise your standards!


You can raise your standards all you want, marry a billionaire if you like. You will still be a provider, that is your role as a man!!!

No woman wants to suffer through childbirth years, thinking of how to cater for the family financially too.

Gender roles are clearly defined and nothing you men do can change that. Except you want to start growing human beings too for nine months, 2 years of your life spent on pregnancy and nursing a child. That’s 6-10 years of a woman’s life based on average household size in Nigeria.

Oga, if you are not financially capable, who will cater for the home if your wife has to quit working because of health challenges associated with childbirth?

I like your sister abeg. If she stays with the broke guy out of love, what’s to say he’s not going to turn on her tomorrow when he becomes rich.

If you don’t want to provide for a woman, then don’t get married. Don’t even date. Become celibate and adopt kids. Nobody is forcing you to get married!

Because trust me, any man who is not a provider can NEVER have respect in that marriage. Go and ask poor married men. The woman might provide but your role as a man will be diminished. Women can only support broke me up to a certain point. If a man takes advantage of the woman’s understanding and becomes lazy and dependent, my dear it will not end well for the man.

As a matter of fact, that’s why some rich ladies never settle for broke guys. Because it’s easy for a man to get too comfortable and forget his role as a man.

Even the Bible says that any man who does not provide for his family is worse than an infidel.
