At What Stage In A Relationship Should A Woman Lend Money To Her Man? by BreezyRita(f): 4:11pm On Sep 30, 2014
Ladies and gentlemen, get in here the debate is raging and raging very hot too. I was in a setting of some single ladies and bachelors. The topic was so keenly debated that none of the sides was willing to concede defeat. So I came off the debate not knowing who won or who was right. The ladies seemed to be more outspoken about the topic than the guys. A few of the guys that attempted to air their opinion were branded selfish and biased because the subject matter seemed to favour them. So I expect us to thoroughly debate this issue to the best of our ability.

So here is the gist. At what point is it advisable for a lady to lend money to a guy she started going out with? Is it from the first month or from the third month or the sixth month or until he proposes? Especially when this guy knows that you earn more money than he does. Is it advisable at all and if yes, at what point?

One of the girls who felt that it is not appropriate to lend your guy some money especially at that early stage argued that it amounts to setting yourself up for some kind of parasitism. Once the guy knows that he can easily get money from you or whatever name you want to call it, he will keep coming back with new reasons to collect more money from you. She concluded by saying that she will never lend money to any guy until she was certain that the guy is very serious with her,in fact, she mentioned that the guy had to propose first.

The next girl said she wouldn’t mind to lend her guy the money even from the first month of their relationship. But she added a caveat which others thought was weak. The lady said as long as she was sure the guy will not default in paying back the money. So the argument digressed a bit and the question changed also. Others were like, how are you sure he will not default, since the journey just started?

The last girl said the best thing to do to be on a safer side is not to lend at all or if you must lend, lend what you can afford to lose. And I agree totally with this one.

The guys argued that it does not matter as far as there is genuine love between the two parties.

So which side do you belong to? What is your take?



I had to resurrect this thread because a friend of mine is in a dilemma and I'm in no mood to create a new thread for it.

She's been hiding the fact that she's got some money in the bank from her guy who's landlord is currently on his neck for rent. The guy is in need of the cash but my friend isn't sure he'll give back if she lends him.

Its not advisable at all.......
Re: At What Stage In A Relationship Should A Woman Lend Money To Her Man? by Nobody: 4:50pm On Sep 30, 2014
If there's geninue love and he spends on me too when he has, I don't see why not. But then, it has to be a sum I can easily give up and forget in case something happens. But if he builds an excuse on the fact that I lent/gave him money before to start turning into a liability, then that will be the end of it.
Re: At What Stage In A Relationship Should A Woman Lend Money To Her Man? by Nobody: 4:52pm On Sep 30, 2014
And about the question of at what stage, as long as it takes the love and trust to build.

How cum there's no specific time for him to start spending on u. He takes u out on a date, buy everything, gives u t fare. But when he need help, u don't deem it fit for u to help him, u don't deem it fit for u to be part of his success.
Nigerian women mentality....smmhhh
Re: At What Stage In A Relationship Should A Woman Lend Money To Her Man? by Bigsteveg(m): 10:18am On Oct 02, 2014
BreezyRita......the question should be 'at what stage should ur bf start spending on u?'



General opinion, guys start spending from d very first day, yet the issue or borrowing is now debatable

ALL IZZ WELL
Re: At What Stage In A Relationship Should A Woman Lend Money To Her Man? by Babygal4eva(f): 12:25pm On Oct 02, 2014
I will say it depbeds on the guy, if I'm dating someone I've been friends with for a long gym then sure I can lend him money the trust is already there and I know he won't ask if he didn't need it.

But if we just met recently and u asked me out sometime later and then immediatly u start to ask for money, come on I look like maga to u, what kind of guy would ask his woman for money early in the relationship when neither of u r sure of how serious it is, it will show he doesn't have pride in my opinion.

and I know that some guys will argue "but they spend on u immediately" that's different because if you ask me on a date u don't expect me to pay the bill but if you do no problem I will pay but then I will friend zone u immediately cause I can't date a cheap guy.
