Poor Lovers' Serenade
Here I am, and I and so am I, miauwww, meowww, miauwww...
My love can't you hear my serenade? Look what I brought along, it's a present, a sign of my love. I give you this golden ball! Itis all yours.
Mrauw...
Look at me Lisa, I am your best friend, don't look at or believe that cheap tomcat!
I am the great catch, can't you see that?
I whisper sweet words in your ear and my tail will pet your back while I bite your neck and...
Grrrr.. iauw
Look sweetheart, you can't imagine how fast my heart races if I look in your yellow eyes.
They are amazing and so bright at night.
I can hardly believe you have eyes for those smooth talkers next to me!
Take this small offer, I humbly offer.
Trust me I am the best choice, I have a field of lucky clovers to share with you this summer.
Mriauuuw, miauw, meow, prrrrr...
They say in love and war is everything permitted so does this mean it's fine to lie? I don't see any point to lie about the lack of savings or a small salary, not if you want a steady relationship. You can decide to avoid talking about the topic if you meet once per year and don't live nearby. But money, no matter how hard we need it will not compensate the lack of true love (a cuddle, the best friend, the loyalty, the listening ear, the person you can cry and laugh with). For sure having it all is the best but if it comes to love, if a deciscion should be made, I would take the one who makes me smile and can make a cup of tea.
I never met a girl or woman in my life with a wishlist if it comes to men. Only those who said that they would gladly 'sleep on a concrete floor' (empty house, without posessions) with the love of their life. Notonce I heard a man say that. They all have a wishlist and rarely are satisfied. No matter how ugly and nasty they are they still seem to believe they are a great catch.

I don’t know if you have heard this statement before; “is more comfortable to cry in a Lamborghini, than to be happy In a bicycle “.
Down here in Africa, you’ll see a lot of ladies say things like this and unfortunately if they are lucky to end up marrying a very successful man, it seems those money mongers end up been a punching bag for their husbands. That was how that short statement came about. So, many ladies will pick wealth over happiness in marriage.
That’s why in recent times, people are advocating for women to work harder to earn their own money all the time and I’m glad is paying off..

I believe I read this statement one before here on Steemit. I prefer the bike. At least you can hop off if you don't like the guy unlike being locked up, scolded at and abused in an expensive car. Rich is only great if you have enough power and skills to manipulate and make the guy believe he's Adonis. Most likely he is not.
We notice the other way round. Lazy men, especially foreigners believing women will take two jobs, raise the children alone and say goodbye to their wishes and dreams and friends to keep a guy. I say: No thanks. Pay for yourself. Not once in my life a man paid for me or my children and I will not ask for that either but no way I go take care of an adult man too lazy to work and let him live on my account. I saw how my mother did that and many more women and it's a bad thing if you have as an adult no self-respect, nothing at hand and believe you can behave like a spoiled child for the rest of your life believing you are a great catch. It's clear to me why women no longer like to get married. If a man adds nothing to your life there's no point in getting married
With us women work next to being the mother and the housewife while it's not the other way around. So women have a job outside and 24/7 inside. It's clear why they feel stressed especially because they have no place of their own, no time to relax and are still seen as the one who loves to cook, clean, becoming a mother and the one always cheering up their partner.
Is there a way in between? I don't know. I do agree it's a good thing for a woman to be independent although I have strong doubt if it benefits her since in most cases she will pay for the children, pets, the groceries, expenses for the partner while there's nothing left for her. So her capital is consumed while the man invests (a car, home, you name it although many families have more debts than they can ever pay off).

This right here is a culture shock… totally opposite of what’s happening down here in naija.
I think the two countries needs a swap of the opposite sex. The men coming down here to learn how to hustle hard and while our ladies going over there to learn to be independent but my fear is that you ladies shouldn’t take it too far with our Nigerian ladies… whenever we pick up something new from another country, the extreme is always the case in Nigeria. Look at feminism, the few Nigerian women practicing it has taken it too far…
