- A viral video has sparked debate online after a man claimed that a man who doesn’t provide for his partner financially cannot be considered manly.
- While some social media users support his stance, others believe it is outdated and unrealistic.
A man’s claim that a man cannot be considered a true man if he cannot financially support his girlfriend or wife has sparked widespread debate on social media.
In a widely circulated video, he argued that once a man is financially capable, he should take full responsibility for his partner’s expenses. He argued that masculinity goes beyond paying for dates and meals and extends to cover every aspect of a woman’s financial needs.
“You can’t call yourself a man if you don’t pay for everything,” he said. “You pay for dates, travel, her meals, her nails, her hair. A man who doesn’t like to hear that is not a man. If you have it, provide it.”
He further advises men who are not yet financially stable to avoid dating altogether and instead focus on self-improvement, savings and financial empowerment.
“If you don’t have money, you shouldn’t date. Get your accounts in order and improve yourself first. But if you’re living together, you should provide. A girlfriend or wife shouldn’t have to worry about money,” he added.
The video has since sparked mixed reactions online. See some of the reactions below:
@coldogo5 said: “Look at this fool talking nonsense to me and thinking he has a point.”
@thatboy_Gix added: “This is so bad; your girlfriend that you worked so hard for? Stop calling yourself a man if you don’t pay all her bills!”
@nightprogram_ commented: “Regardless of your financial status, if this news angers you, then from today on you know that you are not a man.”
