Hey guys, I'm in my mid 20's and i've been working for a few years now, my current salary is very decent and i'm striving to earn more. Obviously at my age, i'm thinking of the long term which obviously includes my career but i'm also looking forward to and marriage and kids. However, the vast majority of guys i've met are either not ready for the long term, or they're still in their 'struggling' phase. Is it bad that I want someone who is at least on the same level as me, or maybe even slightly below? Am I a 'gold-digger' because i don't really want to 'eat garri' with a guy before he blows? I've dated these guys before but even till now their level hasn't changed much despite all their talk about potential. I don't mind having to split the bill once in a while or even contribute but i'm a lady that's used to certain tastes. My family isn't Dangote rich but we're doing quite well, and i'd like to continue living that life or at least not drop too far below. What do you guys think? Do I keep looking for these 'almost/made guys'(can anyone tell me where to find them? lol) or do I settle for a struggler. 67 Likes 8 Shares |

Well it all depends on you but no one would or rather should (cos some will) criticise you for wanting someone who's above ur paycheck most independent ladies who end up with struggling men usually have broken homes and respect-barren homes..................(not that i'm saying u're one though) its same with me though..........i wouldnt settle for any girl who's below average cos wetin all these gold-digging hoes don take my eyes see no be here meanwhile for ur question in parenthesis you just may have found one in me..........now lets get to see ur pics   55 Likes 3 Shares |

Lol op sorry to ask but how old are you missloluwa just relax, you seem to be in a hurry. The man you desire will definitely come, just be patient concentrate more on your career, be outgoing and socialise more. . But I hope you know there's a probability of you staying single till 30, because even those 'made' men you are looking for they are also looking for made girls, and beautiful slay queen and I hope you know most of them won't take you serious lol just be sure to make the right decision. 67 Likes 5 Shares |

You are not a gold-digger or any of those plenty adjectives. Settle for where you find love, respect and fulfilment. The probability you would find all of the above in a social status way below yours is low. I have come to notice our daily cycle, religious, social and professional association ...plays a huge influence on who we meet. The emotional blackmailers and masters in scare tactics are here. They'll tell you of that aunty who has gotten to menopause for having a standard. They won't tell you of the ones who ended up emotionally shattered for not having a standard. There is no one formula for getting this right. We all have things that helps our association with the opposite sex, be it financial, educational, religious, cultural...even sexual. There must be one 'vain' thing that keeps you glued to a partner, no matter how non-superficial you try to portray yourself. It only becomes a set-back if you pay no attention to other qualities. That said, everything is done with moderation. There is no guaranty a struggling guy will treat you right. There is also no guarantee a rich man will treat you right. The only man that would treat you right is that man who loves and respects you. Direct your association to your target kind of men. If you are bringing something to the table, you are deserving of a partner who does same. Let no one guilt trip you!!! Our young men are getting 'smarter' too. Financial compatibility is important. 213 Likes 21 Shares |

The best and most sensible thing to do is to look for someone at the same level as yourself or even higher. But in real life situations you find out its hard to find and some men at such levels have soiled their hands to get there though not all. Most times people wrongly assume that people of lower level will be humble and well behaved than those at the topmost ladder. But it hardly ever works that way. Individuality is at play. A man or woman that is cleverly hiding cheating and violent tendencies while still struggling to make it might appear to be hardworking and a spouse material but once married those tendencies will certainly showcase. There's just an element of luck and/or blessing from God when people marry the right partner be they rich or poor. 50 Likes 3 Shares |

Problems with gals/ladies of nowadays. OP I pray your case is not like dat of my female friend (Bimbo). @26, she got an appointment with FIRS Ever since no man worth her taste, she sees every young man that approach her has poor. This how she live till she clock 34 with no man to settle with. To cut the story short, she later got married to one Alhaji@ibadan with 3 wives as a result of no choice. Now the Alhaji has stopped her from working and make her a full house wife. Just a lesson for the OP, no one is born to be poor. An average man today can still be the next billionaire 2moro. 67 Likes 9 Shares |

Your life is in your hands. But let me enlighten you, all those you mention isn't a criteria. What matters in a relationship is love, LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. p'square/omotayo Emoney/ his wife Tuface/ Annie And so on.go through their story line the guys were extremely poor but they are hardworking guys and today, few of their peers meet up to standard. My advice is, marry foe love but marry someone who has ambition,vision and is hardworking 14 Likes 3 Shares |
