I Love Gold Digger And You Should Too<\/h1>\n

I don’t have an issue with gold diggers.<\/p>\n

You will never find me complaining about how a woman is a gold digger and shame on her and how she doesn’t deserve to be with that man and he’s such a victim for falling for her game.<\/p>\n

Naw, you will never hear me say that.<\/p>\n

And there are several reasons why:<\/p>\n

1. (Some) Black men call all women gold diggers these days<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Nowadays if you expect a brother to pay for a date…you’re a gold digger. It really is that bad. I once had a guy say he thought I was a gold digger because when he was telling me about his book and how he needed an editor, instead of offering my services (I write\/edit for a living) for free since I knew he was a student, I had the gall to suggest I be paid for my work.\u00a0 Yeah…that’s really what he said. Under these conditions, any woman who doesn’t insist on going Dutch never considers a man’s income when evaluating him or marriage and has no expectation whatsoever of being compensated for work she’s done (i.e. the editing) is a gold digger. It’s a no-win situation.<\/p>\n

2. Income and financial stability matter when it’s time to marry<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I have a friend who is a pharmacy manager. He once said to me that he’d be just as marriage-worthy if he were making $20,000 then at the six-figure income he was making now. I laughed. He may still be a nice guy at $20,000 a year, but he is definitely NOT marriage worthy.\u00a0 When it’s time to marry money matters<\/a>. If a man can’t provide or a family on his income alone, then he’s not ready to be married. Women still do more housework and rearing of the children than men<\/a>. MUCH more. So much it’s like women have two full-time jobs, the one they do at work and the one they do at home. If you marry a man who has a comfortable income then a lot of the pressure is off of you to either:<\/p>\n
