I am very aware that what I am about to write will not go down well with many readers on this forum, but then, the truth must be told.In as much as I do not support single ladies being too forward about money and material things, I do not support a single guy going into a relationship when he has not found his direction in life; more especially nowadays that increase in population has made it very difficult for young people to find job after school.I will be making reference to the Holy Bible to back up my stand, but before then, let's take a look at some of the disadvantages of a guy going into a committed relationship when he is still struggling:
1. He gets distracted:
women are emotional creatures that require lots of emotional attention to satisfy, so for a guy who's still struggling financially, keeping a committed relationship will most likely distract him from chasing his life dreams.
2. Financial waste:
no matter what you think or say, keeping a girlfriend cost money, especially nowadays that technology has taken over the world.Buying call cards to say hi to her, buying gifts for her on special occasions, taking her out for dates, and other frivolous spending cost money which the guy can invest on himself to acquire ICT skill/certification, etc.I won't bore you guys with too many points, so let me jump straight to the Bible backing.
During the process of creation as narrated in the book of Genesis, the world was without form, nothing existed and God created heaven and earth, sea, oceans, forests, trees, animals and every other thing on earth.And God looked at the earth and saw its beauty, and decided to create the first human.Please I want you guys to pay close attention to the preceding paragraphs of this write-up.
When God decided to create human being, God didn't create man and woman the same day, instead God first created man- Adam.
Adam lived alone for long, moving around the earth (Garden of Eden), taking care of the animals, trees, fishes, etc and God saw that He was lonely and needed company and helper, and God decided to create Eve to keep Adam company and to also be his helper.
The moment Adam woke up and saw Eve, he fell in love with Eve without waiting for many years to develop love, and Eve also fell in love with him without having to screen him to know how much he's worth and whathe has to offer her.
Note 1: there's true love at first sight, don't doubt it or condemn it, its real!
My point:God first created Adam, and Adam had virtually everything he needed to survive- shelter (whether under tree or whatever), food, etc before God brought him a wife!So to the single guys reading this, please pray to God to bless your daily life activities so that you can succeed first before getting a woman, and you know why?
1. Woman is not the most important thing to a man, his work (goal in life) is.Give a poor man the most beautiful woman who truly loves him, I bet you guys the man will run abandon the woman lol
2. A man feels more good in a relationship when he is financially stable than when he is financially broke!
3. No matter how rich a man's girlfriend/wife is, the man will never feel satisfied with the woman until he himself is financially stable too.
4. The true behaviour of a man can only be known when he is financially okay, and not when he is broke!
5. Naturally, by default, every woman desires to be with a man who is more financially capable than her. This is one major reason Oprah Winfrey never married. Same reason Linda Ikeji, Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Domnic, Agbani Darego, Rihanna, etc are all single secretly searching for that guy that has more money and fame to come make their dream come true.
Don't ever think guys aren't proposing to the aforementioned ladies because I can bet my nairaland username that thousands of suitors who may not be as rich and popular as them are asking them out on daily basis.
So guys stop nagging and attacking the ladies; ladies aren't the problem, our common enemies are the past and present politicians who ruined our national economy, leaving the youths helpless and jobless!It is the politicians that we youths should hate and attack for embezzling our common national wealth for their personal use.
We need to pray for a better Nigeria with many great job opportunities for the youths, and we must also condemn giving better jobs to females who do not qualify to the detriment of guys with better qualification.
Lastly, ladies please I am not encouraging going after already made guys only, please give all guys equal chance of friendship because that broke guy today maybe the next Forbe's billionaire tomorrow, so always pray for God's direction and do use your wisdom!
