A Nigerian lady has sparked reactions online after advising men to pursue relationships with women whose financial expectations align with what they can comfortably afford.

In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the lady criticised men who approach women despite knowing they cannot afford their lifestyles, only to complain later about the financial demands they encounter in the relationship.

She described such men as audacious, arguing that some pursue women whose lifestyles are beyond their financial capacity without properly considering the responsibilities that may come with dating them.

Speaking in the video, she said:

“Men who cannot afford a date should not date. Why are you looking for a woman when you know you cannot afford the woman?”

The lady also questioned why some men complain about their partners’ financial expectations after willingly choosing to pursue them.

According to her, men should understand their financial limitations and consider compatibility before entering relationships rather than blaming their partners when disagreements over money arise.

She further argued that men should stop pursuing women they cannot afford and subsequently describing them as gold diggers.

In her words:

“Go for your type and let peace reign. Every level has women. Don’t go for what you cannot afford and now come, ‘Oh, she’s a gold digger.’ Which gold do you even have that somebody will dig?”

Her comments have generated conversations online about financial expectations, dating preferences and compatibility, with social media users expressing different opinions on how much money should influence romantic relationships.
