It's an aberration for a man to approach someone richer than him.

When you place your values on money it clearly mean we can bid how much to buy you. Men don't tend to value women like you cos you give olosho vibe. Its obvious women consider money as part of there top list when looking a man to marry but I wouldn't consider you the op as an option cos when that money is not available it becomes a huge problem. Stop competing with men unless you love being single

Women like you tend to marry men with low self esteem or a simp.

you are entitled to your opinion as discussed above.

Nevertheless, you cant dictate how the other person will treat you when he knows you are after his pocket.

keep it cool and get your bags full it will be a long ride to get such accomplished as men in such bracket also expect more from you as well...

its not a one way thing where u will always be at the receiving end else it will lead to chaos.

GehGeh has also told his people to make sure they don't date a broke woman either. So finally, the reality is get rich or remain single wether man or woman.

Men will finally understand why there ancestors marry plenty wives.

As a man, if you finally make money, marry plenty women and satisfy yourself. Because if you broke, you no go even see one marry... The way this gender is going.

This is a major reason why many marriages fail woefully in Nigeria....

Only about 5% or less of women submit to a husband that is below them financially.

You said OP is right and wrong, but did not clarify any of this in your comment. undecided

Your wife is lucky that in your case, things turned out better than they were when she first met you. However, for the vast majority of women out there who married men who earned less at the time, the reality did not turn out the same. That is partly the reasons for why, almost 50% of Nigerian married women today are breadwinners despite being married, and of the others who were not themselves financially independent before marriage(and maintained that in marriage) a large portion of them are financially abused by their spouses in marriage. undecided

What OP expressed is a preference many women and there is everything right and nothing wrong about their choice. Also, that choice is helped when the woman knos to be financially independent before and throughout the cause of the marriage as we are all aware that even rich men can be stingy towards their own wives and children. undecided

There are about 4 billion men out there in the world.

I don't wear tattered underwear; that yours are tattered does not mean everyone else's. A good washing machine doesn't tear clothes unless you don't know how to use one. undecided

Additionally, numerous videos on YouTube are available to teach you how to properly care for your clothing items so they stay useful for you for longer. It is not a flex to say your underwear is tattered when you literally do not have to do much of the washing yourself these days. undecided

Many of you simply hate women is the major problem here. 🥱🥱🥱
The cost of the invisible labor done by women in marriages includes a significant financial impact, estimated to be worth trillions of dollars globally if paid, and a severe toll on their emotional and mental well-being, leading to stress, burnout, and resentment. This includes the "mental load" of managing a household and family, which is separate from physical chores and contributes to inequality and relationship strain.
For women, to add to the above burden laid on them in marriage, to have to bear the burden as breadwinner, you think people should not be bothered... clearly you lot hate women, your mothers included. 🥱🥱🥱

You don't really sound smart.

There are many marriages where men are the breadwinners and also do house chores.

There are many marriages where men do tedious jobs which are much more stressful and difficult than the house chores women do at home.

There are many marriages where women are the breadwinners and men do the house chores.

Did you really account for all these different configurations of a marital home? Marital homes are not universally the same. In some marital homes men work harder than women. And in some other marital homes women work harder than men. But generally the fact is that both men and women collectively work hard. But you only want to believe that only women work harder than men which is absolutely false.

Then why get married? If it is such a huge burden why bother? The human female is the only specie that I know that does things they consider self detrimental. Marriage is slavery, child bearing is dangerous, why do it? You mean to tell me that you do all these for MAN or could it be that you also gain from it physically, emotionally and spiritually?

The simple reason is that many of these women have been programmed from birth to believe they have no worth without marriage. That remains the major reason why many females engage in that which is self-detrimental. Their self-worth has been eroded by the societal programming to the point that they do not consider even their own health and life worth investing in, and that is sad. undecided

Boys do not receive similar brainwashing from childhood, and as such, they don't feel obligated to do for their wives more than they can muster in themselves to do for them. Rather, many are told they are entitled to a wife-material who would aid them in accomplishing their life goals as well as their procreation goals in life. This explains why there are so many men out there who believe women should be content with what is, in most cases, less than the bare minimum — subhuman standard of relationship treatment, aka abuse. undecided

2. Again, it is the mental enslavement programming hammered into them from childhood. 🥱🥱🥱

3. Nonsense! A man who loves a woman would treat her like his partner... (in religious speak) be equally yoked with her in marriage. That is only possible if a man loves a woman. However, a man who hates a man does the opposite... he sees her as his servant/slave to take advantage of, and that is what the vast majority of Nigerians, including the religious-minded— in direct contradiction to their so-called religious values— are notorious for doing. 🥱🥱🥱

While it is easy to blame the women in these cases for not attaining self-love before marriage — overthrowning all of their childhood trauma— that does not remove the blame from those who take advantage of them at that. undecided
