I sincerely feel bad for your future wife.

CaptainMitch:
You are just broke, forget this crazy epistle.

You seem to use that in a derogatory manner. But this is Nigeria, where 18k is the minimum wage. Being broke is the norm and nothing to be ashamed of.

Who wud you prefer? A guy who would be shrewd to save up to buy a benz or a guy who wud fill your belly in a toyota starlet?

cooluzi:
gosh naija mentality, taking a lady on a date shldnt mean you shld spend much on her...... I've actually invited a girl to a cinema and we watched movie and talked and we both enjoyed ourselves and I didn't spend more than #2500 isn't that a date? only ffo and golddiggers reason this way,

But did you take more than 2500 with you?

Gaspardd:
From my last thread about how i took a girl out on a date with just 2k.
Let me background this with some facts in view.

When i said i dont spend money on mundane things, it means that...sometimes i dont get pple with the way they spend money on frivolities.
1. For instance birthday celebration is a complete garbage to me, i mean if u re beyond 18, and thats cus you can excuse kids for being stupid. Life is tough and we have to acknowlegde that fact.
2. Having more than 2 kids is bullshìt cuz i feel with 2kids u can give them the best life they should exp with d limited resources "you" have. Imagine if this country had like 30m instead 200m population.
3. Expensive Wedding.. Oh my gosh, complete arrant nonsense, why not divert it to biz or sth.

Those things i highlighted up there to me are complete mundane things i do not or wish to spend money on. But then if you have extra large cash then no biggie but they re still bullshìt.
Then what re things i spend money on... i love to spend money on things that will gives me a new level of experience, for instance, one time i wanted to travel, i could have boarded a bus but then i decided that i would take a flight instead. So that means i would have to cut back on some mundane things i spend money on. Like clothes, foods, alms giving and all that so save twice or thrice the intended amount.
Ok right now i need a new laptop, i could have gotten a good HP with nice RAM and processor speed but i want to get a Macbook instead almost 2x the price so that means i have to be more sagacious with my spendings...Grab?

Now on the issue of that date, seriously its not really about saving money or sth, but its about common sense, its a date for crying out loud. Its to share moments, talk about unserious things, after having a very busy week. Its not a job/business interview where you proof a point and get a mark or a nod of approval, its to unwind and being in the moment. Two adults who understand this would make things simple for eachother.
But then if u re on a date to proof a point, or seeking for something which your future/life depends on, then maybe you can go all serious trying to catch all the fallen cups just to appear like a perfect guy.

So with this few reasons of mine, I still maintain my stand, 2k date is the cool date. Anything beyond that is pure garbage. Either you have the money or not.
I am not averse to the fact that you can treat yourself to some nice and expensive things onces in a while, but then i understand the greedy nature of humans, someone asks you out on a date and you want to use that opportunity to the fullest. But i feel if u can afford those things, then you wouldnt feel the need to want to use the opportunity to fill up your glut stomach or whatever it is. Thank you.

@Jayneek i made this thread in response to your thread trying to school me on how to go on a date. I dont need your noob dating skills. Been going on a date since 2011, so i am well experienced in that field and ive got it covered.

I'm glad we still have people like u around however I may not agree with u on all issues but I think u are spot on regarding the date issue.

Gaspardd:

Nope, i have non of those things. I just have common sense. I guess by the time my Macbook arrives, i will have to manage my small Macbook.

Having a MacBook and taking a flight are not actually achievements.

If you like, you can go with 350 naira next time

ImaIma1:


But did you take more than 2500 with you?

yeah I do but that doesn't mean I don't know how much I'm planing of spending

You keep writing threads embarrassing yourself and trying to generalize you can open a blog and monetize all these epistles and rants, most of you youngsters make females see other Nairalanders as small boys, if you don't have money, park one side and increase your hustle.

You just proved what most of us have been saying. You cannot leave your house with that amount after asking a girl on a date. You have to be prepared. In the end you may not spend half of what you carry.

Case closed

Have you returned the borrowed shirt to the owner?

That’s the simple truth. When one is poor he thinks poorly. Imagine 2k that can’t even buy pizza what a shame.

Why Can't You Just Accept That You're Stingy

Do have a nice life

My thought is that the op opened the first thread to get some kind of validation from fellow female bashers on NL to help repair his ego. Instead he got more backlash than a pat on the back, even from guys.

Instead of licking his wounds and accepting his folly, he decides to stubbornly open another thread to stick to his 2k date as per "i don cast. Let me stick with it till the end"

However you want to see it, leaving the house with 2k for a date you initiated is really low.

It depends though, I believe with faith you can move mountains, He could just tell the waiter to fill his Cups with water then lift it up & praise da Lord. Wozzoah! It turns to wine.

The way he is even confident and bragging about not spending money is what I find queer, he will likely be a youngster that is not exposed. He is living within his means and he feels the need to keep publicizing it, maybe to earn accolades from his fellow broke boys. I wonder why people feel the need to inculcate their doctrine of sufferhead on others, imagine if his sister brought his exact type to his family if he would be proud of her.

Godsgift7837:

Whenever I run low on money, I hide my face, it's better to postpone a date if you can't afford it.

I do not know why you are trying hard to justify the path you have chosen to these folks here. Most of them have never gone on a date before.
Baby come my house na, baby come my house na is all they do.
.
So they prefer you take a girl out and spend 30k on her in the name of "date"? Some of these girls have nothing meaningful to contribute to your life, these same girls would go home and start telling their friends about a maga they met once you start spending recklessly on them.
.
You don't owe anybody anything, not even an explanation. What a world, filled with materialistic people and bunch of people with unhealthy sense of entitlement.
.
You are smart and you should be proud.
