Actress and media personality Toke Makinwa has advised singles to date people within their financial class, saying many relationships become strained when partners cannot keep up with each other’s lifestyles.
Speaking on a recent episode of the MENtality podcast hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Makinwa said choosing a partner whose financial status matches yours can help prevent avoidable conflicts and disappointments.
“I am a big believer of date within your wage and within your class. That way there will not be stories that touch. You will have a good girl at home, a girl who will even make dinner with her own money when you don’t have. Yet, some men will still want to ch£at on her with a woman they can’t afford,” she said.
The actress also criticised men who abandon loyal partners after becoming successful, only to chase women whose lifestyles they cannot sustain before accusing them of being materialistic.
“Heaven forbid you end up with a guy who hasn’t blown. The day he blows that is when you will know his true personality. And that scares women. Money doesn’t change people, it just reveals who the person is. So many men are treating women who sacrificed everything for them badly,” Toke added.
