What's love without the gucci bags?

I was having a conversation with a friend the other day about dating below your social/financial status. Bearing in mind that we're both quite young, the turn of this conversation might surprise you. "Me: So *insert friend's name here*, would you ever go out with *insert boy's name here*?
Friend: Ehn!? God forbid! Please I'd rather someone buy me a channel bag than cabin biscuit."
I proceeded to laugh my ass off after that statement because I actually found it hilarious at the time. Thinking about it later it didn't seem all that funny anymore. Its actually sad how girls/ladies/women today are sooo materialistic! One wouldn't expect teenagers to be so money conscious but its sad to say that females are becoming more money hungry younger and younger these days! I wouldn't be surprised if an 8year old girl stopped talking to a boy because he only got her a 'common' card for vals day! I mean its crazy! But hey! That's life as we know it now right? Don't get me wrong, this is no alter call or special intervention for all you golddiggers or aristo chicks out there. Far from it actually! Because really and truly, we ladies have to ask ourselves this fundamental question before we rush into replying that 'will you go out with me'/ 'how do you feel about me' text or for the older *lucky* ones out there the 'will you marry me' proposal - What's love without the gucci bags?
Hahaha! I can imagine guys shaking their heads to this and thinking of a hundred ways to kill me right this instant. Remain calm gentlemen. :p
Now back to the ladies, I don't know what your own equivalent of a "gucci bag" is. It might be something worth much more or a bit less but remember, we weren't all born to suffer abeg! Long gone are the days when we had to "grow" with our men *rme*. If he ain't grown, toss him to the side! *these nails can't be changing no diapers if you know what I mean*. What I don't understand is why young beautiful girls will leave their comfort zones under the guise of "love". Sorry to burst your love bubble but when your broke hunny pie finally makes it, chances are that he'll leave your ass for a thinner, prettier, fake boob'd bitch! And all you'll be left with are the photos of you guys "growing" together. This is not to say I'm totally against falling in love with a not-so-made guy. Atall oo! I say, buy all means go for Mr looking-for-job-only-have-one-good-pair-of-shoes. Tbh, I have loads of respect for ladies like that! So much courage! Gosh! But not all of us can be like that I.e Ruth *aboko ku* lol. As for me, I'm on my way to becoming anorexic, marrying a footballer and living my own equivalent of a happily ever after, but that's just me ;)


***DISCLAIMER: I do not encourage any extreme acts of desperation just to catch a 'big fish' and will not be held liable for any damages incurred in the process. And for the guys out there, don't feel the need to steal or lie just to impress any lady, we *the smart ones* have a special eye for that and we WILL eventually catch you out! +++ If you decide to take all this seriously or to heart, that's your own cup of tea :)

Take care. x's and o's, her royal awesomeness :)
