A financially challenged Nigerian lady candidly shares her discomfort regarding dates with men who meticulously calculate their expenditures, emphasizing her preference for more extravagant spenders.
The perspective was voiced by @Simplegbemi on the microblogging platform, X, where she expressed her disdain for men she deems not lavish spenders.
In her words, she finds it embarrassing to be with men who can't spend without the need for meticulous calculations, stating, “I hate being on a table with a guy that calculates everything. If you don’t have money stay at home pls..it’s fvcking embarrassing 🙄🤦🏽♀️.”
The post sparked a wave of reactions from other users, with some supporting her sentiments while others criticized her for seeming entitled.
Irunnia_ chimed in, saying, “He will take you to a date, He will do all the talking, He will do all the paying, He still isn’t allowed to calculate what you guys ate. Nigerian men are trying. It’s not easy.”
abazwhyllzz added a different perspective, stating, “He shouldn’t calculate the bill? If his budget for the date is like 10k and you end up eating above his pocket, if he asked you to pay the balance, do you have money to complete it?”
bigtimiszn expressed amusement, noting, “What’s amusing is how you managed to make it to 2024 with this kind of brain. Like, how on earth did you enter 2024? I thought God censored people. 😂😂😂.”
TokyosBite shared a personal anecdote, saying, “On Saturday, my friends and I were out. Me and one had two bottles of a drink that cost 1200 each. We had two bottles each of the drinks we picked… tell me why 1200x 2 became 3000? We almost paid 6000 for a 4800 drink. Now you see why everyone should calculate everything, honey?”
