Why Is Gold-digging More Of A Woman Thing? by chibwike(m): 10:32pm On Dec 25, 2014 |
Am kinda confused about this...why is it that when it comes to gold-digging...we always refer to women....are they the only ones that practice the act.... Do guys also practice the act. |

Don't know why some dudes here think that supporting ladies all the time even when the truth keeps staring at them makes them likable or seen as nice guys or gentlemen Just as the Oxford dictionary defines a gold digger as a woman who forms relationships with men purely to obtain money or gifts from them . However, When we are talking about gold digger, there's actually no solid reason to justify why a lady should be gold digging I don't think ladies in civilized countries are being referred to as gold diggers the way we do here. However, there's more to gold digging than just money, gifts and other perishable parameters which is peculiar to Nigerian ladies. As a matter of fact, In as much as financial pressure is mounted on men and seldom on ladies, there's no way gold digging will not follow In this 21st century, an average Nigerian lady now runs at least Version 5.2 OS of gold digging meaning they are gold diggers by default 4 Likes 1 Share |

No gender is a gold digger. The phrase is mostly used when a broke arsè guy has been dumped by his gf. No gf for a lazy man or probably, he could get an ashewo for 200naira or a low class girl. 2 Likes 1 Share |

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 15 Likes 5 Shares |

Lemme tell you this If you go after a girl cos of seks or her body then you are a gold digger. Men do a lot of gold digging yet they dont wanna feel any sense of responsibilty for their partners. A girl has every right to choose whomever she dates or marry based on her tastes!! You guys have got taste too and when you go after your tastes isnt that a form of gold digging. Pls the constant whining and women bashing on this topic is getting boring 3 Likes |

Silkmoth33:A lot of the folks here have some kind of people they wont date. I know a girl who won't date an Igbo guy. I know some girl who won't date a black man I know some woman who can't marry a man without at least a Bsc and no one has condemned them yet but when it becomes money you people start running around and opening threads.

Mynd44:forget about taste here.. Gold digging is gold digging (simple) It's not only when a lady scam you that she's being referred to as a gold digger Any lady who knows she will not date you and keeps fooling you just for her own selfish interest is a gold digger Btw, the dictionary is specific about the definition of gold diggers.. It refers to specifically ladies as gold diggers 2 Likes |

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. Woman who can't stand your financial status 2 Likes 1 Share |

Many of the comments on this thread raise up really interesting thoughts, at least for me. Gold digging is not just about money, but rather about our interests, tastes, preferences and other things we would rather not do without in a partner of our choice. Whether we are digging for money, for bossoms, for good accent, for height, for white teeth,.... In a way it's still gold digging, and at the very basic level, gold digging is healthy, Infact very advisable to an extent, because it's better to be with someone that satisfies many or most of your key tastes, so that you won't be forced to helplessly look elsewhere That said, there's still a very dark side to gold digging, and I think that's what the question of this thread is about. It becomes a dark form of gold digging when you totally abandon all the other rubies, sapphires, and diamonds dotting the path of the gold.... If someone has other amiable qualities (peaceful, respectful, intelligent) but you choose to ditch them because they've got no gold(no money, short heighted, flat bossoms etc)... Now that's a type of gold digging that should be kicked against 4 Likes |

1one: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 3 Likes 1 Share |
