My mother advice me never to look for a rich man who is well do whenever i'm set to get married.
she said i should marry a man that we will both start our life from the foundation, according to my mum, she said it is better to suffer with man to acquire wealth, than to go for a ready made soup.

Looking at the way things are going now, do you think a woman will now stoop so low and marry a poor man that is trying to make ends meet? Although, money is not love, but why would a parent wish her daughter to marry a poor man, i am begining to see my mum as a bad mother who does'nt wish me well.
Is it advisable i follow my mothers advice? I should stay in SURULERE instead of OLORUNSOGO.

So you feel you are stooping low to marry a struggling man but you don't think a rich man is stooping low to marry you, yes?

A broke woman marrying a very wealthy man = "She's securing the bag. Yassss Queen!"
A comfortable woman marrying a struggling guy = "She's stooping soooo low. Ewww!"

The standards are double these days.

ogeodi:
She's advising you from her own point of view or understanding. It's dicey...... All in all it depends on the man. Above all marry a man that respects you weda rich or not and you should have something to offer too so that u can both share the expenses.

omolola100:


i am not a comfortable woman, that is why i dont feel it is right to marry a struggling man, i am not after money anyway..

omolola100:

thanks for this.

this is what all women say but we understand

omolola100:

i am not after money anyway..

luminouz:


Lola, Goan work ya black ass off. No man came into this world solely to make you happy. That mentality is BS.

Make your money and have peace,if you can't find happiness with marrying for love and togetherness.


It's only in Nigeria that broke ass girls won't work but keeping praying for a rich man,yet they keep brokeshaming struggling guys. Are y'all allergic to making your own money? Why a rich man would wanna settle for them, is beyond me.

NeeKlaus:
Which one are you? Are you extremely rich?

omolola100:

i am not a lazy gal, i dont depend on anyman before i buy cream and make my hair.

MJBOLT:

this is what all women say but we understand

luminouz:


I wonder what the thread is about if not money issues

MJBOLT:

I'm 100% certain if a rich man comes her way,she will marry him.

omolola100:

i am not rich, but i know i will be great tomorrow.

that one is obvious in her OP

luminouz:


And leave a broke guy like me shey?

NeeKlaus:

So the struggling guy won't be great tomorrow yet you think you are "stooping low" for him?
Can you see your standards and how double they appear?

There's nothing wrong in marrying a rich spouse but don't make it look like an abomination if the tables are turned.

@OP most rich guys you'll meet out there are married men but won't disclose their marital status.. your mom has a point.

If you see a serious young man with prospect, marry him and grow with him
