Reno Omokri has advised men against rendering financial assistance to their girlfriends.
“When a woman you date tells you she needs money, listen calmly without interrupting, then respond thus, ‘I am sorry, but it seems you mistake me for your father’.”
Omokri said men shouldn’t allow themselves to be pressured into financing women they are in a relationship with, adding that it is not wise.
He said: “Don’t be pressured into financing a woman you are romancing. It is nice. It is not wise. Even if she leaves you, what have you lost?” You won’t be lonely
The bestseller author said a man shouldn’t think he will be lonely if his girlfriend walks out of the relationship. In his words: “Don’t think that you will be lonely if she leaves you. Loneliness is like having no money. Bad friends are like debt. It is better to have no money, than be in debt. And it is better to have no friends than to have bad ones. Loneliness can’t kill. But a bad girlfriend can. Instead of bad friends, learn to enjoy your company.”
