I've had friends who say they cannot collect money from a woman. I do not have a position on this as I've not been in such situation before although I collect money from my sisters all the time .
In a relationship, is it okay for a guy to take money from a woman - for example, when she offers to pay for a date or the guy needs a quick loan or any other situation that involves the girl offering money. Should the guy take it or is it an abomination for guys?

It will be interesting to hear the answers.

hmmnn now dis is a tough one i havent really taken money from a lady maybe cuz i avent been in such a tight spot b4 so i cant say,but they say when you are desperate the things u say u wouldnt do will be out the window but personally i dont think its right except if the guy and girl are engaged or married

I see what Fola is saying. It has to do with the man's dignity especially if the perception is that the man is supposed to financially provide for the woman. I was brought up in such a culture. Now that I am older and wiser, I have to say that taking that attitude is just not practical. There are times when people need to rely on each other and be there for each other. Of course, I am assuming that the man is not going to use the money unwisely such as gambling it away. And I am assuming that he will act courteously in offering to pay it back.

A Nigerian man's dignity is not to be toyed with. He can accept any insult as far as it does not demean him. I feel it's foolish pride to refuse to ask money from a lady when you need it.
I hear people refer to guys who live off their wife or girlfriend as shameless and I have a little problem with that one especially if the guy is not a lazy guy. He makes effort to earn money and he spends wisely.

It is okay for a man to take money from a woman when he is not stealing it, his mindset is right, the money would be spent wisely, he is collecting it for all the good reasons and above all; he can also take it(money) from a man.

What's the difference. Man, woman, it's still money.

True talk soto but many women can't help but remind you of that fact if there's a little argument and they will put it in such a way that you are supposed to know that a guy collecting money from a woman is demeaning to the guy. If I really need the money for the right reasons, I have no problem collecting it.

If she thinks it's demeaning, then she is with me for all the wrong reasons.

the truth is dat it takes a lot for a man too ask a fellow man for money, not to even talk of woman,
but I think dat if they are in a relationship the guy should be able to ask, as long as the woman understands the situation at hand....
