On How To Spot A Stingy Guy - Must A Guy Spend On His Girlfriend?

Posted in: , , , ,

Toke Makinwa spoke on the issue of stingy men in her weekly Vlog where she gave women pointers for identifying a stingy guy. I agree that being stingy is not a desirable trait in both men and women, and a giving spirit encourages one to reciprocate, but when Toke repeats several times, "a stingy man is bad for business", I wonder, what business are we talking about, are you a prostitute?

Toke goes on  to say;

He might be rich but “Is that money in circulation?... A stingy man is not the way forward, a stingy man is bad for business....some guys are so stingy that if you want to collect money from them, it's like squeezing a rock to bring out water..... a proper gentleman doesn't let a lady ask him for stuffs cos he knows she needs 'em...when a lady is scratching her hair, it's a sign for him to know that she needs to change her hair...Ladies if a man is not giving you money, close your LEGS!"

Again, I'm baffled. Close your legs? Must money from your romantic partner equate to sex? Are stuffs like fake hair, cars, bling, or restaurant outings, the only things women want from men? Should a guy even give his working girlfriend raw cash or gifts? Makes it look like an aristo arrangement.

For me, some things are more important than money in terms of being in a genuine relationship. These are support and understanding, respect and tolerance, and the spirit of compromise. Anyways, watch Toke's video below....

Do You Run Other Women Down Because of Men?

Posted in: , ,

Toke Makinwa's vlog this week is about women who talk bad about other women in front of their love interests, either because they're interested in the same man, or out of a presumed "honesty" to save the man from himself. Toke feels so bad about it that she's really ranting, and I do see where she's coming from. However, in as much as we want to be all kumbaya, one may ask, is it not sometimes necessary to call out a woman who's behaving badly? Check out the video and let's discuss.
