And you think those top restaurants are not the same charm?

“Buka is better than restaurant, stop taking your girlfriend to restaurant & send 15k but here you will spend only 4k, all the girls in my life I take them to Buka, all those girls are not worth spending your money on, you meet a girl today you’re spending 40k on her”

What if the lady is like some of us and doesn't eat food from those local street restaurants?

No doubt, the food is delicious, but I've only had bad experiences with them... Each time I eat them, I have this tendency of either getting a bad runny stomach or heartburn... My mother then once said something that made me to entirely stop eating them, she told me how some of those local street restaurants use good luck charms to be attracting customers and that my body is probably resisting them.

nkemjacob2:
your restaurant don't use charm?

marlow1962:
So before a man can enjoy relationship, he must be stupid and uncalculative right?

Some Internet users just talk like people without 🧠.

I hardly eat out, if I invite a girl over and she wants to eat, I have way more tasty foods in my kitchen. I cook what restaurants or bukkas can't cook to suit my tastes 10%.

AJSfan:
local or standard restaurant, many businesses use charms to attract customers. Whether na woli, babalawo or alfa dem dey go. The safest option is cooking at home.

How do guys do it?? .... Taking girls to eatery on date??

All the dates I have had has either been at a park, cinema, recreation center. I think there's more Fun there than carrying a lady to a place where she will go and fill her guts with food.

b0rn2fuck:
true talk, the rate way some girl go jump at buka foods and the excitement of amala and gbegiri, that my girl no dey care to even package when she reach buka,relax better use her hand demolish the goats meat without mercy

Houseofglam7:
Folks got too much time on their hands 🫤

Samantha125:
In have been doing just that.

eepeepook:
All the more reason why it works since the average man sees it as a low quality idea.

Oceanjagaban:
it's not really a bad thing to cook for a female friend. but most of the time you won't have that time.

Sonnobax15:

It's really pathetic indeed.

As in, spending huge amount of money on someone who wouldn't appreciate it simply because she has something that's in-between her legs

I wish God can just make an alternative for it,so that men would stop spending their hard earned money on it . Something else like a konji collector, not located in the body of a woman . Na me go happy pass.

SpencerForbes:
Buka is sweet—until you are buying drugs for typhoid. Not all bukkas are good. If you can comfortably afford a proper restaurant, then there's no harm in upgrading. Don't let the temporary sweetness of the food make you forget the dangers of poor preservation and zero hygiene.

Ask yourself, how many clean bukkas are in my area and if you can't mention a good one, go to a restaurant or prepare something at home.

eepeepook:
Shifting the goal post. From poor man mentality to one not having the time. What won’t someone read on Nairaland.

Oceanjagaban:
don't be silly...na poor man get all the whole time for the world.

folake4u:

The OP is right. But most of the people supporting him are making the wrong point.

If you typically eat in buka. You shouldn't be impressing a girl by dinning with her at more expensive places. You have to make her understand thats your standard.

But it's honestly not the best.
There is no way someone responsible will trust you enough nowadays to rush into a 1st date in your house & straight enter kitchen. Unless the visit was circunsntancial and it won't be long.
We don't need to bother with food then.
There is an extent to which intimacy has grown before cooking comes in.

Those parks are usually teeming with people too much in close proximity for a deep conversation when getting to know each other.

Yes. Na poor man mentally of both the man and woman to be focusing on food. Choose good environment but order very little.
