GUYS please do not be hoodwinked. Love for nothing ended with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden where the bible shows that man needed nothing since God was the sole provider of everything and here is why I think so.
About a week ago, I had a conversation with one of my best friend – James France. This discussion followed an earlier discussion I had with one of my other friends. This other friend of mine showered all kinds of praises on his girlfriend, for example, he urged that his girl emphasises time without number that she loves him for him and that she can even walk bare-footed three miles on broken glasses just for my friend’s sake.
From my simple observation, this friend of mine thought I would regard him as a champion but contrary to his expectations, I rebuffed his thinking as childish, but still he couldn’t bow out.
While having lunch with James, a related story was floated and at the end of it, we discovered that a girl, who tells you that she loves you for you without any material attachments especially in this era of dotcom, is a liar and there is hardly any truth in her.
Even during the primitive period, women were looking for men who would hunt and bring home enough game at the end of the day; those who were good at gathering; the hard working,  etc., even then,  things like beauty  were a by- the- way.
Guys, if that was the case then, how about in this enlightened era?  Well, if you think it is not all about money and other goodies, have you ever wondered why guys with enough dimes have all the babes around them? Why not us?

Haven’t you heard of guys who have lost babes to the haves?  I discovered that once you work hard and prosper in possessions and influence, women will follow you like mosquitoes, wanting to have a taste of you but all claiming to love you.

A woman may say she doesn’t love you because of anything (material possession or influence) but that isn’t true. Women are very smart creatures and good at strategizing. Like economists, they are good at making projections. Yes, a guy may not be able to provide her with cash, drive her in a sleek car, take her out in good places, provide her with a good shelter and she may appear unbothered and really loving but boy don’t be hoodwinked.

She would have projected that at a certain point in the future, probably because of your career line, you will be able to acquire money and she will enjoy those very things she appears not to crave for.

If that isn’t the case, she will have calculate and seen that by you staying at home, you can help with domestic chores which eases definitely on her purse since she will not have to pay anyone to do those chores.

For the few years I have existed on earth, I have never came across a girl whose dream husband is a lazy one who will marry her and dump her deep in a remote area where she will be the sole bread winner.

In fact, I sympathise with guys who hate working hard, thinking that they can sustain a relationship on only sweet words, bossing around simply because they are men and nice looking.

Brother, do not be fooled. Money has power to turn an ugly guy into a handsome man and on the other hand, poverty has equally the same strength to turn a handsome man into a caricature like.

Besides, women want more than sweet words and looks and they are very right. Naturally men are supposed to provide for their spouses and family as a whole.

Your sweet words may have the power to soothe her ears but those words have no power to calm down her grappling empty belly.

Also, your looks can never be turned into decent shelter; clothing and neither can one present their looks at the grocery and earn everything for free.

However, it is the material things like money that can do that. At high school, one of my teachers used to tell us that love without goodies is like eating meat without salt. I used to laugh but I can assure you now that sir was very right in his observation.

I know some women activists may scoff at this but they should not behave like ostriches that love to bury their heads in the sand whenever there is danger. They should face and accept reality as it is. Materials, especially money, are the wheels that run that thing called love. And before they scoff at me, look around and you will see the kind of men they are with.

Having known the reality at this age, I can’t be so mean to it. I have to share the message to my fellow youth.

We should work hard to make things comfortable for ourselves and the ‘birds’ we plan to have as lifelong partners if we are to  enjoy our relationships with them. As for me, that is what I plan to do.

If you do not heed my counsel and work hard, don’t cry foul if you see your ‘bird’ hovering around me in the future. I’ve warned you!
