ROZZAYY:
Abi o, unfortunately I don't comment anymore on dese kind of threads. The only thing I'd say is, I know this thread is abt ladies again, but let me remind u all, yea yea ladies r gold diggers, the guys who marry ladies who we feel r gold diggers, like dere was one on celeb(forgotten her name, a model) he s old and ugly she s pweety and young, obviously she s in for d cash, most of d ugly old men who marry extremely buotiful ladies, who r prolly in it for d cash.
Sorry to burst ur bubbles, the guys know dat d ladies r dere for d money but dey aren't complaining, so make una stop to dey drink panadol for people headache, men or women who r with whomeva dey call golddiggers know dat the person is wit dem for d wrong reason but dey choose to stay, and dats nobody s business.
Let's stop d female bashing on nland abeg. Akpuom!

chibwike:

ROZZAYY:
Mizmycoli entered me. Lol how's ur health

chibwike:
Fine oh...Madame rozzay. Am getting better...thanks for showing concern...hope u had a lovely christmas

VickyyB:
Stereotyped definition.

VickyyB:
Some women are allergic to broke arsè.

VickyyB:
Same way you might dump your girlfriend for a better one.

VickyyB:
Same way some guys are cheap...

VickyyB:
Phew! Marriage is overated.

Mynd44:
And a guy who has been sleeping around with a girl for years with no intention of marrying her even though he says he will is a what?

Tallesty1:
Replying question with a question won't do us any good sir.

You said that there is nothing like gold-digging and I am trying to let you know that gold-digger is there in the dictionary for a reason

Mynd44:
Unicorns also exist in the dictionary and so does big foot

Tallesty1:
Well, that you and I haven't seen any of them is not enough reason to say that they do not exist.

And the topic here is gold-digging, not Unicorn no BigFoot.

Mynd44:
That does nullifies your point that if they don't exist why is it in the doctionary

Mynd44:
See NL guys with touchy egos.

Perhaps someone's GF has left cos he bought her a gift she did not consider good enough even when she bought him nothing and yet that guy will cry.

If she leaves you because you are broke you should be dancing and singing cos you did not marry a. GOLD DIGGER who can't stand your financial status

Anaskie:
Na wa o. I'm seriously amazed at the kind of reasoning I'm seeing here.
Some NL guys have taken woman-wrappering to a whole different level.

So from your definition, if I prefer a tall, dark, slim lady to a short, fat, pimple-faced lady, I'm also a gold-digger!
Please, u guys should be more rational in ur discussions.

gold dig·ger
noun
a person who dates others purely to extract money from them, in particular a woman who strives to marry a wealthy man.

Anyways @ op, I don't see gold digging as being exclusive to only the female gender, though its more common with them.
I've seen guys who also date rich girls they obviously didn't love, simply because they wanted to get their cash.

Gold digging has absolutely nothing with one's physical preferences. Let's get our definitons straight please.

KingTom:
Finally! Someone with a brain! Kudos man.

Mynd44:
Why?

People have what they call deal breakers and if you don't have that quality, it wont work no matter what else you have. They can manage you for a while but that hole will still be there.

A man who does not like fat women does not like fat women no matter who she is. She might cook like his mother or be as respectful as my dog but he still will not like her.

The heart will love who the heart will love. It is conditioned That wat. A woman who is not attracted to broke guys will not see your kindness. You will only be a good friend and that's all

VickyyB:

VickyyB:
Tell them biko.

Watch on this section. A guy will create a thread on how he like girls with big breast etc and he'll get praises from his fellow men.

When a girl states her preferences, every insults on earth will let loose.

VickyyB:
Double standard & hypocrisy at its extreme.

Thank God for all my wise fellow ladies who use and dump men for they shall live long.

remsonik:
Yet you keep sleeping with a girl and you keep deceiving her you love her only for you to bolt, then what's that..........gold planting right??

Ilovenigeria:
And the guy that knows he will never date a girl and kept fooling her, what do we then cal him?

tosyne2much:
it's called deceit not gold digging

kristina1:
Exactly!!!

i'm really surprised at who you're adoring

Mynd44:
There is nothing like "Gold-digging" it is a lie we tell ourselves to hide our ego.

A lot of us have tastes. We won't go after a girl/guy who does not have that quality l. If a woman or man is concerned about her financial security and see finds it attractive in a man why should we blame her?

A lot of men love women with big boobs and won't look at women with small boobs and no one insults them Na.

If a girl does not like you cos you are not rich enough, move on and find one that does not consider money.

Stop Bìtching

remsonik:
Deceit is the same as gold digging as far as you engage in such for your own selfish reasons. What is bad is bad there's no other name for it and guys too are involved in the act. Take a seat pls

The question says "Why is it More of a woman thing" nobody ever said guys aren't involved in it.

But the women definitely surpasses that of men.

FrancisTony:
Nice response.

I think some of "we" guys have over-bloated self esteem. Even a guy that barely afford three square meal a day, will open his mouth to call a girl "gold-digger". I don't have a problem if any girl dig gold though!

I read the whole of this thread and some guys are implying you wanna change the meaning of gold-digging.

I bet it will do them good to re-read your bolded text.

Gold digging exists

naijaboiy:
Gold digging exists

I don't have a problem if any girl dig gold though!

FrancisTony:
Excerpt from my post...


Now, I'm someone who advocate for equal right of everything(both man and woman, gay, lesbians and straights etc)

According to Wikipedia definition of gold-digger;
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_digger

Gold digger is slang for a greedy person (stereotypically a woman) who only dates(and subsquently marries) wealthy partners with the intention of exploiting said wealth.

1) Going by this definition, there are gold diggers.
2) The word is a "slang"- That implies it's not even a cool english word, and it was probably used by women haters to make spiteful comment(s).

3) At bolded, it says the word is stereotypically used for women. It shows how misogynistic the word portrays.
Like Myn d44 said, we are using it to hide our ego.

naijaboiy:
And if I may ask..How is a man hiding his Ego when a lady successfully deceives him and eats his money and then when she's probably tired or when the man's financial level has depreciated she moves to the next guy. And then he tags her a gold digger?

FrancisTony:
It becomes hiding of ego when you refuse to admit what's sauce for the goose is sauce is sauce for the gander.

I don't have a problem if you tag her a gold-digger but refusing to portray a man that has the same quality as one is my problem.

Like Wiki wrote, that word is a slang. So, Y'all cricticising Mynd44 should take a chill pill.
