The gold diggers.
Except there's no gold.
Only concrete, misogyny, drama and serenren.
Hello, our wonderful newsletter audience. Welcome to Giggles and Gele, a space where women get to be themselves without the prying eyes of men (if you’re reading this newsletter as a man, close your eyes)
This week, the girls discuss the popular mentality that men have, which is usually centered around “all women want is money”
Fasten your gele, grab a popcorn, grab a shovel, and lets start digging.
*Hits concrete*
This new year, the idea of women being gold diggers has to perish. A lot of men will come online to talk about how women only want rich men and half the time, their definition of “rich men” is one that’s financially stable enough to take care of basic things.
Yes, women like wigs, they like nice clothes, they like perfumes, they like fine heels. The question now is why are you getting into the whole thing when you can’t afford it? Men will see women that are way above their standards, offer her nonsense, get rejected and come online to say women are too materialistic. Somebody should make it make sense.
Financial stability is something you should have and look for if you plan on getting into a relationship, especially if you’re the type that dates for marriage.
Poverty is not fun, creating generational poverty is not real love.
When bills start coming from left and right, nobody will teach you before your head will set. Is it until your child is always playing the role of the devil in school plays? Let’s all know what we’re doing, ejoor. It’s nice to not have to worry about money, nobody is trying to exploit anybody here.
Let’s not even talk about the idiots that use poverty to test women. Yes, men do that, and not just in Nollywood.
As men use to come and say women act different around rich men, men act different around rich men. Let’s unpack that. Men seek male validation, especially from rich men. That’s when twenty year old man will turn to boss man and have significantly older men at his beck and call, but they are not ready for that conversation.
Then again, in this day and age, nobody wants to be with a rough draft. You’ll see men saying one woman invested in them and that it's true love. But let’s face it, gone are the days when women will come and say they’re building a man, nobody wants to do Barbra the builder.
Men always make women seem so narrow-minded, as if women are not working hard themselves, “women only date men that will buy them iPhones”😭 I’m sorry, what? You people need to be for real. It's 2024, get rid of that mindset.
Man: what's up, how are you doing?
Woman: I'm very well, thank you. I'm a bit hungry though.
That's all it takes for men to tag you as a gold digger these days.
One stupid man even came out to say men deserve all the respect because women hardly have to raise a finger, seeing as we just depend on men. If you also think like that man, you’re stupid as well. Who put that system in place? Is it not the men in question that used to say a woman’s job is to cook, clean and make babies? So why are they getting pressed when women ask for money?
And when they say women won’t have to lift a finger when getting help from men, that’s because you’ll expect us to lift your balls. Half the time, when women ask men for help, their penis will start twitching and they’ll still come online to slander sex workers, abeg nau.
We won’t talk about this without acknowledging the fact that it’s always the ones with no gold to dig that are usually very pressed about this. Yes!
You want to talk about gold digging but it’s only borehole and grave that we can dig from your finances?
The ones that have gold, maybe the girls are digging it because that’s the only thing you have to offer? Akwanwa once went on a date, and the guy legit talked about his booming business throughout the whole thing.
He barely gave her the chance to ask personal questions, and at the end of the date, she came to the conclusion that the man could only hold conversations concerning his money.
Maybe men should think of these things before they open their mouths next time. You people cannot cook, you can’t pray, you have no interest in personal goals, you’ll still now have poor hygiene. Uncle, what else should women love you for?
*Hits concrete with shovel, again.*
Oh and, women? We need to perish the idea of this “if not for feminism, I would be relaxing and not working my a*s off.” My dear, no. Dead that idea, now now. You would, in fact, not be married to one aristocrat and sitting pretty.
You’ll probably be scrubbing floors and cooking back to back. Your husband will give you face lift with his fists if the tea is too cold, and you’ll be expected to take care of your nine kids well. You’d better get up and work, before one nonsense man will come and say he picked you from the trenches.👍
Eight great women (definitely not us) once said and we quote, if the gold is there, why not dig?
