Gaspardd:

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.

pls tell them ooo....date is not a money spending spree..

@Gaspardd pls don't mind all these mofos blabbing here. In my life, I don't follow the crowd, the crowd should follow me. That's my philosophy. How can one justify spending much on a date? Is it that the girls don't eat in their houses?
Some of these guys bashing the OP are just saying to impress them ladies to start sending DM.
How many of you hungry mofos will agree on going on a Dutch date.
Define your life the way you want it, don't mind being called a broke guy cos 70% or more of Nigerians are broke already.

I saw Gaspardd on this thread 2.30am, it's 7.30am he's still on it. What a pitiful soul. Wonder if it isn't validation this dude is seeking.

Element04:
Lwkmd....this nairaland comments fit make person commit suicide sha. Op was so depressed by the attack he got on his former post. Now he is here to justify himself and tackle whoever does not support him.

Well, human reasoning and nature is different. Op I advised you to learn from the critics and corrections rather than trying to justify yourself.

Our priorities are diff in terms of spending.

But 2k is small and not a big deal if actualy you can afford more than that for a date. You are justifying yourself because you don't expect people to lambast you so much in your former post.

Double your hustle to the extend that you will be able to buy your dream MacBook, flight e.t.c and still have hundred of Million sleeping in your account even after investing.

Inshort, you have not seen money, I mean real money

i hate it when small boys like you keep on saying go and make money, how much can one have before he or she can be considered to have made money?. And how many people will make that amount of money before they die? Finally how rich are you?

Evercurious:


And what is so special about a first date?

You don't know the person well and don't know what she would want. It's a time to know if you will proceed further

funmisticqueen:
if someone plans to take me on a date with 2k, he should tell me in advance so that I will give him a 2k first impression. I will come in a hairnet, no makeup, my old t-shirt and bathroom slippers. I cannot make a loss abeg.

Let gaspardd and his supporters kukuma marry a village girl. It is not by force to date Lagos babe. Shoe get size,okirika get quality

see you ugly girl that was exposed the other day is talking..
nairaland has given some mouth. I can bet in reality you haven't gone out on an expensive date before, you might even be dating a man that earns less than 30k. I won't allow my brother to date you tufiakwa

IronPants:


I already answered your question. It's my date so I fix the terms. It includes divulging my budget and me doing the ordering although it's gonna look a bit awkward.
.

5k is not luxury per say but they are a few girls who would spend that on date. They are so rare you wouldn't find them on this thread.
.
Choice of restaurant or bar the key here. The higher the class, the more expensive stuffs would be there. A regular restaurant would sell burger for 400 huns.

Your assumption at the bolded sounds shallow especially as you don't even know the faceless people on this blog.

Hamburger of 400 naira is bound to give someone a runny stomach but if that is your standard, it's fine.

If 5k is not luxury or extravagant, why would you prefer to take 2k and pinch it? Because girls don't spend that much? If you have that mindset, then why ask out in the first place?

Small boys like me? Well am not a boy...and how rich am i? Am very rich dear. Hope you can differentiate a real picture from pictures made online? Let me snap my acct balance for you in my second phone.... My phone is Mi8....bought it 150k. So you will see it written in the camera self. Am a businessMan....even after lots of investment and business that balance still rest.

oga you may be a millionaire in your own level no one cares but remember majority of Nigerians are poor, a certain percentage are comfortable while very little are extremely rich.. Everyone spends within his or her income. Both of them work the same place so they know how much they earn of which I'm sure he doesn't earn more than 100k. The truth is that he spends according to his pocket, it's simple economics. I wouldn't allow my brother spend extravagantly on a first date. Besides the screenshot doesn't prove the money is yours It could be ogas money...lol

The underlying issue here is not about spending money, it is actually about the mindset and mentality that you and the OP share.

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.

Its quite unfortunate I saw this thread late. From what you have said so far the first thing I asked myself was if you even pass through school at all because this your reasoning is like someone who has been doing a menial job from his childhood and there has been no progress up to this level in life.
Don't get me wrong, am not trying to insult you but in reality if you are someone who thinks of progress, I meaning making a better life for yourself I honestly think you will never sound like this. For example saying giving birth to more than two kids and the other stuffs you mentioned.

Let's assure you were making N1million a month, I can bet my balls that you will even do worse than all these things you call garbage. Now you see that the only reason you are saying this is just because of the level you are right now and you are not even hoping to pass that level which is very painful.

With this mentality you are having, it will be very difficult to change levels. You need to scrap this mentality, loosen yourself up and think of making more money rather than stick to one low paying job and depend on the little savings you get from it to buy some basic things.
Soon you will marry and have kids, so let's say you have two kids, they need to pay school fees, so you will cut the way the whole house will feed first in order to save money for school fees?

Wake up bro.

Well 2k ain't really bad,like he said he had a cap so no biggie....I also have a cap,d last one I did,I withdrew 5k and after every every I still got 1300 wen I got home...it's not about the money,cuz I'm quite broke but about the enjoyment,fun and was really looking forward to spending time with her....

We had a lot of fun,she haven't had so much this year she confessed,and all in all,the amount we spent was way far below the price of the fun.....

ImaIma1:


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

Thank you so so so very much my dear. You just hit the nail on the head. Many of them been talking shit since. At the end you got the answer. Why didn't he just carry only 2k in his pocket.
No one is asking you spend heaven and earth on the date, but hold some good cash because anything can happen. Let's say after everything her slippers cut or something and no shoe maker around, at least you can buy bathroom slippers for her to go home with abi they will prefer use ordinary leg back home. Na wa ooo

That's what I have been trying to spell out to this nigger, holding enough cash in your pocket to be comfortable doesn't mean spending the whole cash. Is that not better than the embarrassment he got when his date had to clear the bills because of only 2k in the pocket? And at the end of the day the lady might have not even paid more than 2,500 for everything. So image its because of only 500 difference he went to fall his hand like that. Inside the saving he is saving what will that 500 contribute compared to the embarrassment it has already contributed.

IronPants:

.
I will do a little calculation and estimation here. My answer would be based on it.
.
At the bar or restaurant.
.
Maltina: 300 x 2= 600
Hamburger: 400 (don't know the price, est. price) x 2= 800
That is 1200 abi?
Transport for bae: 500
Transport for G: 100
Altogether 1800
Balance 200
.
Buy a can of malt 200 for her as take way.
.


Now the average Nigerian girl is going to see you as stingy or broke. Why? Because we live in a materialistic society where people are showing off like there's no tomorrow.
.
This won't go down well with so many girls but as for me, this ain't bad. I give it a 5/10

Okay after this your estimate baba, let assume before you guys leave rains starts falling so you guys had to chill for rain to subside, then the place is a little flooded now she can use her leather slippers in the flooded water. Is it a crime to at least buy her a bathroom slippers if they sell one around? Now all the money in your pocket has finished so you won't be bothered abi because you have reached your budget for the date.

The main point I have been trying to make from the start is not about going to spend heaven on earth or your life savings on a date. It has always been that its wrong to carry just 2k because anything can happen.

You can have 5k or 10k and still not spend more than 2k yes. But not to just carry only 2k for pocket on a date haba. If actually he had like 5k in his pocket he would not have had such embarrassment and still not spend more than the 2k.
