“Your biggest mistake as a man is spending on a woman as an investment” – Lady warns men

A Nigerian lady has advised men against seeing women as investments, warning that they may regret spending heavily on a woman instead of investing in themselves.

In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), she urged men to prioritise their personal and financial growth rather than using their resources to build up a woman they are dating.

In her words, she said:

“Your biggest mistake as a man is for you to see woman as an investment. Instead of you to be investing in yourself, you’re investing in a woman. You will definitely regret it. Your head that is not correct, will correct.”

She further advised men against spending money to make a woman a better version of herself, insisting that her parents should be responsible for her welfare if they are capable.

According to her, some desperate women could use whatever comes their way as a means of improving their lives, while the man supporting them may not be their ultimate priority.

“The worst mistake you can do in this life is to spend on a low life woman to become a better version of yourself. It’s better you leave her for her parents. If they are not capable, they are not capable.

A woman that is desperate will use anything that comes her way to get to the top. You’re not even her full stop at all. You’re just a stepping stone. Continue doing lovey lovey, and keep wasting money on her, you’ll definitely regret it,” she added:

Her comments have generated mixed reactions online, with some agreeing that men should prioritise themselves, while others argued that supporting a partner can be part of a healthy relationship.

The discussion continues as social media users debate love, money and financial responsibility in relationships.
