Love Is Hard To Define When People Are Hungry by Dpsychologist(op): 11:43am On Sep 23
It is difficult to have an honest conversation about love in Africa without talking about money.

Imagine a society where most people are financially comfortable, basic needs are covered and nobody is constantly worried about food, rent, transport or medical bills. Love will probably be judged more by companionship, loyalty, affection, honesty, peace and how two people treat each other.

Now put that same relationship in a society where people are struggling to survive.

Suddenly, “If he really loves me, he will take care of me” starts sounding very reasonable.

A man buys food, pays rent, sends transport money, handles emergencies and solves problems. Those things can easily become evidence of love because they are meeting very real needs.

So when someone says, “A man who loves me will do everything for me,” we should sometimes look beyond the relationship and look at the economy surrounding it.

For someone who is hungry, financial provision does not feel like a luxury. It feels like love because it is solving a problem.

This does not mean every woman is materialistic, and it does not mean men should be financially exploited. It simply means poverty changes the way people experience relationships.

When everybody has eaten, you can argue about romance.

When people are hungry, love and survival can start speaking the same language.

Women are attracted to goid looking men exactly the way men are attracted to beautiful women. The caveat however is that the world is tough and at a point they have to chose a man with money to cater for their needs and that of their future children. Reason why many men will never experience true love what's you are no longer able to provide for whatever reason that lady dissappears.

Re: Love Is Hard To Define When People Are Hungry by Tendd:
I heard this is worse in the US and also the UK to an extent.No money,no love.One would think those places have attained some level of economic stability and financial independence,but nay.Women there,just like in Nigeria still have the gold-digging mindset.Men should always provide more.So pathetic these women folks are.

When there is too much competition and strife, it's true people focus more on survival than what love is. Psychologically, love doesn't exist unless you create a space for it.

Planning is everything, you have no business building massive projects when your people are in lack and striving. People should always come first

You may have confused love with desire. They are not the same.

Which is why as a man you can only find true love when you're broke. Anything other than that, you don't know if she's trying to survive and you're her hope or she loves you for who you are.
