You Reject Someone Broke, But Want To Be Accepted Broke?

“Don't judge her.”

“She may not be jobless by choice.”

“Marry her and build her.”

Fine. But should the same grace not apply to men?

Nobody should be mocked for being unemployed. Jobs disappear, businesses fail and people sometimes struggle through circumstances beyond their control. The real issue is not simply whether someone has a job. It is whether the person has direction, discipline, skills, ambition and a willingness to build.

A woman earning ₦100,000 is not automatically a liability. A woman earning ₦1 million is not automatically an asset. The same applies to men.

A person with little money but a strong work ethic and good character may be a better spouse than someone earning plenty but bringing entitlement, reckless spending and zero responsibility into the marriage.

So stop telling men to ignore financial reality in the name of love.

Marriage is not a rehabilitation centre.

You can choose to build with someone who is still struggling, but make sure you are choosing their character and trajectory, not merely hoping their potential will eventually become reality.

Most importantly, apply the same standard you expect others to accept.

If a woman is free to reject a broke man, a man is free to reject a woman who has no direction.

If you believe unemployment does not determine someone's worth, apply it to both sexes.

Fairness cannot mean one standard for choosing and another standard for being chosen.
