Sometimes I want to say: "Let's cut the crap. What you want is sex"

Hamachi:
But there is another funny side of dating in Nigeria that we should talk about: the Nigerian man you meet after collecting your number. 😂

Because sometimes, the problem was never getting the number. The real test begins after he gets it.

You will meet the man who says, “I’m a very simple person. I don’t like spending unnecessarily.”

Translation: romance must be powered by prayer. 😂

1. THE STINGY MAN

He can afford it, but every outing suddenly becomes a financial audit.

“Why don't we just sit at home?”

“Food is expensive outside.”

“Can you cook?”

Sir, you invited her out. 😭

2. THE UNROMANTIC MAN

You send him a beautiful message in the morning.

“Good morning, my love ❤️. I hope you slept well.”

His reply:

“Morning.”

That's all.

You start wondering if you are dating a man or customer-care chatbot.

3. THE “I DON'T DO BIRTHDAY” MAN

Your birthday comes and he says:

“Happy birthday, dear. God bless you.”

Meanwhile, he just bought himself a new phone three weeks ago.

You ask about your gift and he says:

“I'm the gift.”

Brother, please. 😭😂

4. THE “COME TO MY HOUSE” MAN

Every date invitation somehow leads to his house.

Restaurant? No.

Cinema? Too expensive.

Beach? Too far.

“Come over, let's just chill.”

At some point, madam will start asking herself whether she is in a relationship or has been employed as a part-time visitor.

5. THE LOW-EFFORT ROMANTIC

He wants all the benefits of a relationship but puts zero effort into maintaining it.

No flowers.

No thoughtful surprises.

No planned dates.

No random “I saw this and thought of you.”

But when you complain, he says:

“Women are too demanding these days.”

Nobody asked you to buy a helicopter. Sometimes even a ₦2,000 thoughtful gesture can mean more than a ₦200,000 gift given without affection.

6. THE “MY EX DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS” MAN

You ask for basic emotional effort and suddenly your request becomes unreasonable.

“My ex never complained.”

Maybe that's why she's your ex, sir. 😂

7. THE MAN WHO THINKS PROVIDING MONEY IS THE ENTIRE PERSONALITY

Yes, financial responsibility matters. But money alone doesn't make someone romantic.

A woman can appreciate a man who provides and still want affection, attention, communication, compliments, quality time and intentionality.

Being financially responsible is not an excuse to be emotionally unavailable.

8. THE “I'M NOT A ROMANTIC PERSON” MAN

Some men proudly announce this as if romance is a genetic condition.

Bro, romance is not necessarily about expensive gifts. Learn your woman's love language. Listen to her. Remember important dates. Check on her. Plan something occasionally. Give her a genuine compliment.

You don't need to become Shakespeare overnight.

At the end of the day, women are not necessarily asking Nigerian men to spend their entire salaries on them.

Most women simply want to feel considered, appreciated and intentionally loved.

Because just as men should learn that collecting a woman's number doesn't mean she likes them, women also need to understand that a man's financial capacity, personality and approach to romance will differ.

But please, Nigerian men...

If you have money and you are still stingy, that's a character issue.

And if you have little money but you are thoughtful, intentional and romantic, you can still make a woman feel special without bankrupting yourself.

No be every romance matter require POS transfer. Sometimes na effort. 😂❤️

Samuels90:
Soulless, but you lots can’t do without men😙

Oracleee:
And the reply should be all you want is money.

QuinQQ:
We want love too. And marriage. Men are quite happy with just sex once in a while, no strings attached. Soulless people!

Lanre1st:
Is it men fault? When women will want to turn him to ATM machine.

CodeTemplar:
Those days there used to be tosyn2much, a nairaland who opens threads like these and it is always 10 point threads. You tried also.

Of course, asking a girl out, is just a euphemism for saying what you just typed.

If I told you, I want to fbck you, what will you do? Wouldn't you scream 'sexual harassment'!

tollyboy5:
Does love has to include material things?
Can’t we just love and don’t talk about spending even if it is 2k.

QuinQQ:
Has nothing to do with ATM. They're afraid of commitment. They want to eat their cake and have it too. They want to have you and still be free

QuinQQ:

Lanre1st:
How much it cost the women? The things is mutual enjoyment. It good for both body

QuinQQ:
Of course, it's just that sometimes I want to say it outright: "Oga, you want sex and I never do casual sex. Never. Do you still want my number?"

Silentgroper:

Which one be too dey cater for another adult ..


The least we really want is just kids ..

joseph1832:
Of course. I'd say I still do, atleast I know we've broken the ice.
