I support you op smiley

I believe marriage is a limitation,It makes your chances of success slimmer. Its a distraction too.
Its easier to succeed without marriage


This applies to both genders tho. If financial responsibilities are not left to the husband alone, The family will have a better standard of living.

While I agree with the last part of your post, I strongly disagree with the bold.

Marriage isn't a 'limitation,' nor is it a distraction to success; it can only be when one party is totally dependent on the other.

When a couple work as a team, Marriage is the best partnership any pair can have. Two heads are better than one....but by the way, you are free to believe whatever you want to believe.

You know what ? You are obviously immature and not well informed.
Your post doesn't nothing to paint women as handicapped liabilities that should depend solely on a man and make no contributions whatsoever to the financial status of the home.
Anyways I will never marry a broke dependent woman either, she should be making at least 50% of my monthly pay as her own salary.
Most marriages now are economically planned.

when I saw this thread, the first thing I asked myself is how old is this person, the second question was is she a Nigerian?, i am a woman,I know everyone is entitled to their opinion but I must say this is not fair to the hard working men out there with a vision,personally I will prefer to be there before he buys a car or builds house,that way you build with him.poeple have different perspective about comfortability, you don't have to own a house or car to be comfortable,and who says the kids whose father's didn't have a car before marrying their mom are suffering,this mindset is just wrong, never the less you are entitled to your opinion

I no get time for rubbish however, op u try small but, try check wetin the go on for Naija. All dis stupid ideas no go help any babe o. A practical example is Linda Ikeji, with all her dough she no fit get husband. I think the solution rather is, why not marry, suspend the idea of immediately popping out kids atleast for few years to cope with una new status and plan effectively for the better future.
Nice idea! Two heads are better than one.
As for Linda Ikeji based on her financial status she has to be careful with her choice of mate because some men can be out to take advantage of her....nor blame her for that one ,"anything goes" can turn out to be noting and disastrous

OP, in as much I support the idea that man should be financially stable before marriage but I disagree with a must to build a house. Under a normal scenario and in an idea society, you must not build a house in as much you have a reasonable income, one can go for mortgage

I don't support a guy who can barely catered for himself to marry as we see in our society. However, you mustn't have everything before marriage
Before I married 3years ago I dnt ve a house but I ve a car and I was sure I can cater foe two by God's grace. By God's grace now I,do ve resources to build though I decided to invest it in real estate. He who find a wife find a good thing and obtain favor from the Lord.

The fallacy in this thread is the assumption that the man's income and his life generally would remain at the same level before he got married, after he got married, and even when the kids start arriving. For someone to keep earning exactly the same income over a couple of years shows there is something wrong somewhere.

The second fallacy is that the wife wont add anything to the man or the upkeep of the house. While I am not saying the wife should be the bread winner, but why should all the expenses be on the man's $500 income alone? It means the wife is a liability and even if you are earning $10,000 such a wife will fritter it away.

How about the wife supporting and collaborating with the husband to grow his $500 income to $2000. No one wants to marry a wife who is only prepared to spend without thinking of how to earn more.

This opinion makes a bit of sense, but it's parochial as already noted by some posters above.

A good car and rent /are expensive especially in a no credit economy like Nigeria. Abroad ail that's required is a good job and a car loan and house mortgage are yours, no big deal. The key issues are;

1 both partners are working and cooperating
2 sensible with birth control to limit number of children,
3 a man needs to date to find the right Wife and understand women, no matter his financial level. Love is also for friendship, support and the emotional experience
4 most couples work harder after marriage to improve their lives. And there is good luck eg the olujumoke story.
5 a car and flat enhance but not absolutes in dating and marriage. Marriage may spur most couples to earn better cars and houses

In order to reduce the level of poverty amongst homes, in my opinion I think a man who has not enough money to buy a house of his own not rent at least a 3 bed room flat and a car to move him and his family around should not get married.

When he gets married in his low credit, the family tends to suffer. The probability that he will get rich is actually 0.5 not up to 1 because Sundry expenses will now become expenses when married. Things he could ignore when single will now be important.

When children arrive, the probability of getting rich falls to an all time low of 0.2. Have you observed that most men have a higher credit score when single? If you have $500 at the end of every week when single if your job/income doesn't change or upgrade when you get married your $500 falls to $200 because you no longer feed yourself but feed a woman and probably a child.

When the child grows older school fees will set in. And other bad debts will be incured .

Don't get me wrong, I ain't saying he will never make it but in the mean time, why bring a child to the world to suffer? Even if it's for 6 years before you make it? Why take a woman from her father's comfy house to hardship in the name of marriage?

I advice ladies never to get married no matter how cool a guy is unless he is proven to be able to cater for your needs and that of your children financially in all ramifications both expenses and sundry expenses.

It doesn't make any sense, what you enjoy when single as a lady why stop enjoying it because your husband has no money or your money now goes to supporting him?

They say women ain't equal to men. Ok let the men be rich and rich enough to take care of their wives 101% before getting married. In fact, studies show most men marry for sex.


Great write up. Weldone.

However you didn't take into consideration the essence of marriage which is for couples to complement each other. Hence his $500 savings could drop to $350 assuming he did not marry a liability.

I support #GenderEquality and responsibility lies on both partners and one sided.

Just another angle to your thought.

So Women who cannot Own houses and Buy their own cars should stay in their Father's house until they can afford such. :-)

While I agree a guy should have a reasonable source of income before settling down with his lady.
Using that as a criteria to trash "not yet arrived guys" is highly misguided.
The problem of girls like you is that you want an already made man whose future is uncertain.The ability to provide is not static, its relative and changes.
A guy might be earning say 100,000 while another guy might be earning 300,000.
People like you would choose the guy earning more because your are motivated by material gains and is unaware of the possibility of the guy earnin lower to earn higher due to favourable condition such as possibly winning a big time contract or changing job.(I knew of a guy who a girl rejected perhaps for his status. Shortly after he landed NNPC job, she wanted to come back, but offcourse, no one wants to marry an idiotic gold digger, he rejected her in a most embarrassing way)

while the guys condition earning more can change in a moment for the worse due to a number of reasons.

When you marry for material gains.Any thing you see. Take it.

The problem is, the OP and a lot of those that support his opinion are simply "kids" who are yet to understand the term "Marriage".
Marriage transcends finances or status. Marriage makes no sense with all the money and comfort but no peace or fruitfulness. A lot of folks thought it is about what they have until they ventured and failed, and those some of those folks who work hard with nothing became blessed in marriage and rose up to become a pillar.
Moral: Marriage is a spiritual command with divine instruction. There are blessings tied to the godly's.
Re: Any Guy Who Doesn't Have A House And A Car Should Not Get Married Or Even Date! by Creamish(f): 7:44pm On Mar 20, 2016
This criteria should be restricted to marriage.

A man needs to be financially able to take care of his family before having one. This will help with his pride. Even if he does not have a car, he must have a home. The woman is there to support him ..not taking up d position of the breadwinner except of course sth goes wrong in the course of the marriage ...eg..d man loses his job..

OP does have a point...maybe not totally to everyone's tastse but a man who isn't financially stable will develop complex issues when the woman is the breadwinner..no matter how noble her intentions. There might also be a room for insults when d woman continuously remains the breadwinner.

Guys need to understand that taking care of a home financially is primarily their duty. That's d pride of being THE man! Ur woman is ur backup and support...sticking by u thru thick and thin.

But that's the point. The guy is working to better himself but you don't want to give him a chance. You only want someone who has already 'bettered' himself. So if I am already made and I can see that that's the main reason you are going out with me, it means I can replace you at anytime with other girls because you are not adding anything to me. You are only taking away.


You are so on point.
I think where the problem lies is that most of our ladies are so obsessed with married men. These men who has hit their jackpot has been spending on them but can't marry them because they dare not leave those virtuous women that supported their dream for one lazy toothpicked legs wanting to reap where they didn't sow.

The bottom line is: A lady shouldn't marry a lazy guy without dreams but that doesn't stop the lady from supporting him in achieving his goals. ( that's the origin of the word" Behind every successful man, there is a..............).

Now to the guys: Please I take God beg you, don't marry a lady that can't add any meaning to your life. How I wish there are still ladies like a mother.

Last bullet: A lady who leaves a guy with vision to marry a guy with television will later see the man with vision in his husband's television.
