Media personality Toke Makinwa has advised people to date within their financial class to avoid unnecessary pressure in relationships.
Speaking on the ‘MENtality’ podcast hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Makinwa said financial mismatch is one of the main reasons relationships struggle.
She argued that dating within your income bracket fosters greater understanding and support.
“I am a big believer in dating 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 cheat on her,” she emphasised. Compensation& Benefits
The actress also spoke about loyalty and success, noting that many men leave partners who stood by them before fame and later complain that women are materialistic.
According to her, money does not change people but reveals who they truly are.
She warned that this is why many women are scared of building with men who are not yet successful, because their true nature often shows once they become wealthy.
“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 they are. So many men are treating women who sacrificed everything for them badly,” Toke added.
