Just read a thread on front page of a young girl getting insulted for desiring a rich man.. which got me thinking;
Almost every Nigerian girl boldly believes she deserves to be swept off her feet by a FinancialLord and Saviour ...Most guys can testify to girls shamelesly making financial demands right off the bat once you start a conversation with them - relationships are now transactional in nature and the concept of "love" is long gone.. the question now is, what has led us to this point? and I've come to the conclusion that this skewed mentality amongst girls of today is as a result of the hypergamous nature of females, combined with societal factors (via media indoctrination).

1. Nollywood movies.
We all grew up watching movies where the storyline often involves; a young poverty-stricken village girl who the "rich Prince" sights fetching water from the stream and he chases her vehemently until he marries her - she then becomes the Queen of the land and all her enemies and the enemies of her parents are put to shame. In most instances there would've also been a "rich princess" from the neighbouring village who is portrayed as a "bad girl" spoilt and rude .. and that's why the prince rejects her to go for the " humble" poor girl..

Similar storylines have included; the orphan-girl suffering in the hands of her wicked stepmother until a "knight in shiny armour" comes to her rescue and marries her out of her miserable state.

.. with repeated conditioning through movies, young Nigerian boys were indoctrinated to believe their value is tied to their ability to become "rich" so they can rescue a poor "good girl" and marry while every little girl was brainwashed to believe her reward for being a "good girl" is being blessed with a rich husband.

2. Simp-ish R'nB music of the 90s and modern-day Afrobeats.
Those of us who grew up in the 90s can testify to the sheer amount of simp-conditioning music from the likes of; Jagged Edge, Boys 2 Men, Ginuwine, Tank, Usher etc..
Rappers like; JaRule, Fat Joe and the rest also put out music that conditioned women to believe a man owes them the world!

Furthermore, female artists cemented this believe system with lyrics like:
"can you pay my bills? can you pay my telephone bills can you pay my automobiles?... I don't think you do, so, you and me are through" - Destiny's Child
"tryna get with me with no money oh no, I don't want no scrub..." - TLC

Nowadays, we have Afrobeats lyrics like:

"If I tell you say I love you o, my money my body na your own o, 30 billion for the account o, Versace and Gucci for your body o baby"
"money fall on you, banana fall on you, coz I'm in love with you" - Davido

"It's what you do with the banana, go determine if you go get house for banana" - Olamide

Lastly,

3. The inherent nature of hypergamy - In simple terms, female hypergamy is a woman's inclination to marry the best man she can find. This stems from an inherent biological motivation to get pregnant with the best genes possible.

Most women have the mindset that it is the sole responsibility of a man to take care of them. I think it is just as a result of what is going on in the african society. But, I think it is not as rampant as it was before. Some particular set of women are trying to breakout from the ideology, but it is going to take ages before that kind of mentality seize exist.

Movies tell them so, Guys follow their asses like idi0ts, guys spend on them what do you expect.

If ladies start following guys like the way guys follow ladies am sure guys would pick the richest and finest ones

if you can't hustle for your own cash, don't even dream for a rich dude, you can't be parasite to a thriving soul.

I would have said na poverty cause am but even the rich kids want a husband richer than their daddy.


The real reason is this, money solves almost all of the problems on this planet. Who wouldn't want to have it unlimitedly?

why would any normal human being want to be a liability to a fellow human being? this concept of women depending on men is beyond my understanding.

Kondomatic:
Women have always wanted better/richer men..

Even in the olden days.

Everybody's daughter wanted the greatest wrestler, the highest wine tapper, the most skillful hunter, farmer etc.

It's not a new thing.

If they tell you how women fell for men with wide bongo trousers, longest afro hair etc, you go laugh.

And those guys with Volkswagen tortoise car were the real play boys.

It has always been so.

Eve saw Satan with the only Apple in the garden that Adam wouldn't let her eat, and she fell for it.

They have always wanted who has more and it's not a bad thing.

The major difference now though, is that;
in exchange for providing, men of old were 'rewarded' with a chaste and loyal bride.

While men of today are playing a losing game, providing for promiscuous, rude, unfaithful and disloyal whoores.

I don't think it's right to complain abt women hypergamous nature... Its in them already...

The best thing to do is to improve ur self and become the prize... Women will compete to upgrade their selves for u to be attracted to them not u competing for her love which will eventually fade away when some one better than u comes along

Redpillers don't complain, we look for solutions

4. Growing poverty!

These penis having people will not leave us alone.

Most times they think we bashing them out of frustration but we see and experience everyday make it hard to value any lady.
Just yesterday one had to sleep with a friend just because she wants to make new year hair and she had a fiancée in Lagos.....I have seen enough.
They can do anything for money...no contentment anymore.

I just pity guys who are weak.

4. Growing poverty in Nigeria.

I could write one or two things here and give that balderdash you wrote up there a TKO, but I'll restrain myself.

I'll rather cash out with my ideas than waste them on an already wasted topic.

Raalsalghul:
4. Growing poverty in Nigeria.

So how come men don't feel entitled to the pockets of rich women? abi poverty only affects women?

yeah it is not....so advice your daughter to leave her husband immediately she sees who has more.....foolish Male

Good write up
I will add this to it

4. Social attachment to material wealth :- lose of moral value in society in which everything now depends on money..

I pray they listen. anyhow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hypergamy is not natural. It is a mental conditioning.

Grandamante:
Hypergamy is not natural. It is a mental conditioning.

It's an evolutionary construct. This is the only way the female species have been able to survive for centuries. Left to themselves, they will rot in poverty and lack.

Just observe the animal kingdom for example - females have always latched onto their male counterparts for resources - they are too weak and lazy to fend for themselves.

Hello guys ..please I need your help .. I met a girl recently in her work place and I really like this girl immediately,I collected her number and we have been talking on the phone for about a week now. Today (8th day)I decided to have a long conversation with her asking her about her love life and business plans, she is single and wants to start a clothing business this January according to her but she has lost her capital to a certain forex trader this December but the trader is paying her 20% of her money every month and she plans on starting the business in February...I have the money to assist her because I truly like her but my fear is, another babe that works in a bank also told me the same thing just 3weeks ago about loosing her house rent to a forex trader ..though the new girl I like did not ask me for money but I feel she already did indirectly by telling me..what do you guys think? Should I free her or help her and why..even though this sounds like a scam to me already

True talk
