If a man ever says something about like going 50/50, don't date him. If he doesn't pay for the meal, don't ever go on another date with him. Men that are financially stable are happy to pay for a date with you. And men that value women, that see you as potential wife material, they're going to pay for your dates because they know the value that you bring. This whole like 50/50, men are high out of their mind if they really think we're going to do that. I, my husband paid for every single date we went on. I don't think that women can really take men seriously when they don't pay for the dates. How can you really respect a guy that doesn't pay for your meal on a date? Women will lose respect for you. This whole 50/50 thing is such a joke.
Mind you, I'm an attorney. I believe women can be powerhouses. I believe you can be career driven. But as women, we still want a man that's going to pay for us. Even if you're going to work, you still want a man that is financially stable, that will pay for you. So yeah, if any man ever says this, oh, please run. Run far from him and block his number.
All right, guys. This video is about dating and going 50/50. I'm going to give my opinion on that as the video goes on, but let me know what you think about dating 50/50 down in the comments section. Should you be able to go 50/50 while you're dating, 50/50 in the relationship, 50/50 on the bills and the house, 50/50 on the mortgage, anything like that? Uh, let me know what you think about that down in the comment section because uh, times have changed. Modern women, a classic woman—the definition has definitely changed because classic women, you know, they, when growing up in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, where the man's income could literally take care of the entire household before inflation. You could buy a house with your income, a car with your income, take care of your wife, take care of your 2.5 kids and a dog and a white picket fence. You could take care of all that with just one income back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. That's the classic woman, to where the man takes care of everything.
But listen, I ain't going to lie to you. In 2025, when inflation is so high and you need two incomes just to survive. Listen, it is crazy out there in these streets where one income can barely take care of yourself and two incomes can barely take care of a couple. So, I understand women do want to be wined and dined. And I absolutely agree. If I asked to take you out on a date, I should pay. I'm not tripping about that. That's no problem at all because I'm the one who asked you. Now, if I'm taking you out, if I take you out on three dates, four dates, five dates, and I'm paying, I'm I'm going to be waiting for you to say, "Hey, I'm going to cook tonight. How about you come over here?" And you know that's her date. That's her taking me out. She wanted to do something for me. She wouldn't expect me to pay, right? Because she wanted me to come over and to enjoy her meal. That's her taking me out on a date. But if that opportunity never comes to where she wants to take me out on a date—hey, I want you to come to this museum with me. I want you to see things that I like. I want you to come over here and enjoy the food that I'm cooking—if that never comes around, fellas, you might need to go ahead and run because she's going to be expecting you to pay for everything all the time. And she's never going to give you anything monetarily, financially, emotionally, take you out on dates in return. So, that's that's a little quick little bit right there. Let's go ahead and dive back into the next video.

They say it makes me a roommate. That's not the case. I don't think modern women have a problem going 50/50 on the bill. They have a problem with going 50/50 on the bills, but they don't get 50% of the save. 50% of—now you're cooking for her, you're cleaning for her, you're taking the kids 50% of the time. The problem is when you agree to get into this 50/50 relationship when it comes to financially, that's all you consider. That's what a lot of modern women have a problem with. You go ghost when it's time for me to get 50/50 in other things. You're acting like you're too much of a man to pick up a mop, to load the dishwasher, to help with the homework, but yet you ain't too much of a man to accept the half of a rent payment that I give you to our mortgage. That's the problem that a lot of modern women are facing today. He's going to say, "Well, I mow the grass and I clean the gutters." Things that happen once a week, but I tell you, the diapers need changing every day. Hey, my man spitting right there. He ain't really lying. So, it is it is is more to it. But at the end of the day, guys, who am I to tell you how to run your relationship? I, I can't, nobody could tell another couple how to run their relationship. What works for them is what works for them. What works for me is what works for me. But he ain't lying. You can't just do 50/50. If you're going to do 50/50 on the house, no, then you need to do 50/50 of the house chores. If you want to keep up that classic modern day type of woman, man, um, gender roles, just go ahead and do that. But I can tell you this one story though. Uh, so my my wife washes the dishes, right? She washes the dishes. It is what it is. And I always drive. I always drive. She never drives. She's the princess. I'm driving. Boom. Boom. Boom. And then one week, you know, she wasn't feeling too well. I was like, "Okay, I'm going to take care of the dishes. I'mma do everything." So, I'm boom, I'm doing the dishes the whole week. I'm doing the dishes for like two weeks. I'm like, "Bro, we have a dishwasher and doing dishes is not that hard at all." Like, boom, dishes was done every day. Put up. Boom. Like, dishes was done. [ __ ] was easy. So I'm like I hit I was like, "Hey, how about I do the dishes and you drive? We could just switch, bros. I like doing the dishes. It's more better." She nope. Nope. I'm not driving nowhere. I do the dishes. I was like, "Dang, I almost got I almost got driving up out that thing." So yeah, we do 50/50. You know what I'm saying? Some I do some of the stuff in the house. I do stuff outside the house. Monetarily, I contribute to the house. I pay probably most bills. When I have the money and if I'm broke and she got the money, of course, she's going to take care of me. We're family. We we in this together. The the money goes to the same account. We ain't really tripping about that. But at the end of the day, when it comes to that house, man, I would much rather watch them dishes than always be driving, bro. I want to be on my phone, too, when I'm in a car, but ah man, I almost switched it up on you know what I'm saying? So yeah, the 50/50 goes more than just monetarily. It goes about the household, what you're doing in and out the house. It's not always about money. Sometimes it's about emotional support and and all that other stuff. So 50/50 is more than just monetary gains. If you want to look at the overall story, but when it comes to money, when it comes to money, uh, a lot of people that's married, all that money goes to the same bank account anyway. But when you're dating and you're trying to get to know people and you spend $100 a date, [ __ ] man, it it adds up quick. Let's just say you're going on 30 dates a year, that's like $3,000. It's going to that's going to add up real fast. Real fast. So you got to be careful who you're dating. By that third date, you need to know because you can't be wasting any more money on them because uh this 50/50 stuff, man, it's going it's going to add up real fast, fellas. So, y'all get ready out there, women. Y'all winning on this one, women. Y'all are winning.
Yesterday, I made a video about this man who was basically telling other men that if a woman can't be with you when you're at your lowest, if a woman can't be with you when you're struggling, that she's not the one. And I basically said that no woman owes it to you to be with you while you're struggling. All right, this [ __ ] Oh my god. You, she's right. No one owes it to you to be with you while you're struggling. But that's the difference between a real one and someone that's not real. Someone that's a that she's a runner. She's a track star. Someone that always runs away. You know what I'm saying? Someone that sticks with you when you're down. I'mma tell y'all. I'm going to show you how I go. A woman owes it to you to engage in struggle love. A man commented and said, "Men get with struggling women all the time. If you're a provider man, there is no such thing as a struggling woman. You go into a relationship expecting to provide. The issue is that you want women who want provider men to do 50/50 with you. You really can't afford to take care of yourself fully without her financial help. And you don't want to say that cuz your ego is too big to actually admit it. You actually need a woman's income. And there's nothing wrong with that. The issue comes in is you don't want to find a woman who agrees. You want to find a woman and change her mind. It's more of a challenge to you to get a woman who wants to provide her man to go 50/50 with you. You want her fit, feminine, and flirty, right? She could be fit, feminine, and especially flirty when you're providing for her and taking care of all the bills. And then you have the nerve to say you want a traditional woman. Traditional women don't work. You want what you cannot afford. Stop trying to change somebody's mind. It's clearly not working. Give it up. Let me know down in the chat. Would you date her? Scream 50/50ers are financially unstable and also mentally unstable because it's in a man's nature to protect and provide. Now, you have some men that say, "Man, money ain't everything." You're only saying money isn't everything because you're financially unstable and you're trying to make an uh I don't know. Uh, money isn't everything. Uh, and I'm financially stable. I'm pretty financially stable. I got like four jobs, bro. But I'm financially stable. Um, money isn't everything. It's a lot. It is a lot up there. Money is definitely a lot, but it isn't everything. Your health, let's say you get sick or someone you love gets sick, that money doesn't mean [ __ ] That money doesn't mean anything at all. So, I mean, he let's see where he goes with this excuse on why you can't provide for the woman you chose. How are you choosing women and then telling them that they're going to work to pay half of the bills because you're unable to be 100% man. And then you get mad when she's talking to you in a tone that you dislike. How can you demand respect in a home that you're making her pay 50/50 for? First, a king gets himself right. He learns himself mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. He builds himself up so he can build his kingdom for his queen. You guys are going after queens and having the queens help you build your kingdom. You're not kings. You're backwards and you will never become the greatest version of yourself until you know the position that the woman is supposed to play. Her role—this dude's just talking, man. You know how I hate to say you get somebody a microphone and a platform and that I I hate to say that cuz I have a microphone and a platform, but they just get to talking. But he just he just talking. Listen, provide. Look, me and my wife, we decided to move inside this house. And we were like, "Hey, we we could live inside this house right here, which is pretty good, and I could take care of it, or we could live in the this house right here. I'm talking about this nice house, but I'm going to need some help." She was like, "Oh, we we in this together. We're going to the the big house, baby. So, we're in this together." Yes. Some women want, "Oh, I want to just have everything taken care of." Some women were like, "Oh, we can live in this house and all I got to do is do this and this and this. Oh, yeah. We're in this together. It ain't no 50/50. It's a teamwork." But once again, dating and being married is two completely different things. But dating, I do understand what he's saying. He I think the last woman said, "You're trying to date a woman whose mind is already made up that you're trying to change." She's right. Don't try to change their minds, women. You're wasting your time. Go ahead and find your woman that already feels what you feel. They already agree. It's like, "Hey, 50/50. I'm not really tripping." You know what I'm saying? Some women are tripping, some women don't. Just don't try to change their mind because that's basically like them trying to change your mind and you're not going to change your ways. So, don't even waste your time. But my man right there saying, "You ain't a man if you can't take care of everything." What? You know how hard it is in today's economy to take care of everything. We barely take care of ourselves. We need government support to take care of ourselves to even to be able to afford the housing market is crazy. $200,000 houses are now $600,000 houses. $150,000 houses are now $340,000 houses. What do you mean? Uh, you're not a man if you can't take care of everybody around you when we're barely struggling to take care of ourselves. The economy is crazy right now. Inflation is crazy right now. And you're over here talking about you're not a man, man. Get out of here. That dude's tripping. I mean, I don't know. Maybe y'all agree. Maybe y'all agree. I think he's tripping.
Young lady, you don't have to go 50/50 with your man. But do you understand the meaning of teamwork? Do you understand if both of you are making the same amount of money and both of you are living paycheck to paycheck and neither one of you can afford to have that place and pay all the bills by yourself. You both have car notes and you got a kid together. So you both have child care that you share. If you're a team, you do what's best for the team, for the family, for the good of all, not just you. You see, just cuz my man pays just about every bill now does not mean it was always that way. There was a time when we were in your shoes and 50/50 was the smart thing to do. And even though it was more 60/40, him 60 me 40, it was still the smart thing to do for us. Teamwork. We were building together. We were supporting each other's goals and dreams, so we both can make more money. And even when he got laid off, we found a way because I was determined to have his back like I would expect him to have mine had I got laid off. And that's exactly what happened. I had his back until he found another job, which was in a couple of months. And he had mine when I went back to school, graduated, and had a better job, which caused both of our incomes to rise. And that was in the first 3 years of our relationship. And we've been together 24 years now. Our family has reaped the benefits of our teamwork. Our daughters and our grandsons have watched us and our parents in action and they know how to work as a team as a result of it. We rise as a team, baby. Be well. Hey, give it up for her. Hey, she she that's that's what I'm talking about. Teamwork makes the dream work. Teamwork makes the dream work. Just imagine. Uh, I've been in situations where my wife made way more money than me. I was literally broke. I didn't have a job. And now I'm in a situation to where it's like she doesn't have a job and I'm taking care of everything. Life hits and at an instant anything can happen. Your life can change in an instant. Uh, and you're not going to be prepared for it and you have to be ready. So what happens to a woman that's 100% saying that a man needs to pay 100% and he loses his job? What happens then? Does she just keep her money to herself and doesn't help out around the house? Does she start to help out around the house? Does she leave? I'm confused. But uh, when it comes to 100% in dating, if you're dating someone and he doesn't meet your financial goals, I don't know, man, it's tough. I understand that you want to if if a lady is making a lot of money and she wants to date someone on her level, that's that's that's understandable. But let's say if someone's struggling with money, doesn't really have a lot of money, but only has good looks and she likes what do you what else do you bring to the table? I know. Oh, women shouldn't have to bring anything to the table. Uh, but I mean, if you're not bringing anything to the table at all, that's going to, you know, what what makes you attractive other than your looks? Because somebody can only look at you for so long before they get tired. But let's go ahead and keep diving into these videos.
Man, let me tell you something. There is really no greater red flag than entering a relationship with a woman who has a child and yet she is still claiming that she will not go 50/50 with you. This attitude absolutely will speak to her behavior and to her morals. That is completely selfish. She will come into a relationship with a child and still expect you to do everything. Run for the hills. Leave it in the comments and let me know if you've already experienced this or if you know someone who has experienced this and let me know what you think about it. If you enjoy this video, leave it a like, a save, or a share. Follow me for more relationship tips and insight. Yeah. Uh, she might have something going on right there. Let me know if you've ever been in that situation before. How dare you talk about, "Oh, I want 50/50. Let's do 50/50. Oh, it's the first of the month. Oh, you know, do you have that extra thousand?" You're not a man. You're not a man. Case closed. Period. A man's duty is to protect and provide. If he's out here asking your short, she has to have a job. She has to have a job. You're out of your mind. If she wants to have a job, she can have a job. She she doesn't have to worry about the bills being paid. Why? Because as a man, it is our duty to do that. If ladies, if your man's talking about 50/50 blah blah blah, I ain't gonna lie. You don't got a man. You got a little boy. You got a little boy you got to take care of. A man is going to protect and provide easily. No ifs, ands, or buts. That's it. Hey, let me know what you think about that down in the comments. This is my last time talking about this 50/50 cuz they're always talking about, oh, a man's job is to protect and provide. Protect and provide. But I keep forgetting what the the women's job is. But anyways, the protect and provide, providing is getting kind of even the protection part is getting kind of crazy these days, man. Hey, this this it's not the the 50s and 60s anymore. It's not the Oh my, it's not the Gilded Age. But good lord, it's getting kind of cra it's hard to provide. It's hard. But that does...
That make you less than a man because you can't afford everything? Everything. Does that make you I don't know. I don't know. [ __ ] in relationships.
For all of you women who have this false belief that somebody is supposed to take care of you 100% financially, you are delusional. You don't even date anybody that is in a position to take care of you 100% financially. You're broke. He's broke. You're scratching and surviving. He's scratching and surviving. How the [ __ ] could y'all ever get ahead off of $60,000 a year incomes? And this is me stretching it cuz a lot of y'all are making less than that. A lot of y'all are making less than that. Y'all are making $120,000 combined a year and you think that you're supposed to have this Hilton lifestyle.
Do you understand that these people are wealthy that are living like this? They're not rich. They're not hood rich. These people are wealthy. And if you don't know what wealth is, wealth is is how long you would be able to survive if you've never made another dollar from this day on. How long would you last? These people will last generations before their money even has a dent in it. You can't even go 30 days without making money before [ __ ] get tough and you start feeling suffocated. Know your lane. Stop letting social media treat you. It take teamwork to put this [ __ ] together. He was spinning right there. Hey, wealth and having a little money is to completely different things. If they never made another dime, the wealthy people will be able to survive for a gener for generations. Not even put a dent in it. While some people can't even last 30 days. Dang, that's crazy. Yeah.
Don't talk about 100 uh 50/50 or anything like that if you if your dating pool is broke broke. So that goes a long way with it as well. Don't talk about 50/50 or going 100% if you can't even do it yourself. If you are married or if you have a boyfriend or you have a situation or whatever it is, you should not be working. There is no reason for you to have a job because the man should be the one providing for your household or providing for you. He should be paying all the bills. You don't need to work. Stop letting these men think that you have to go 50/50 on things. Stop letting these men think that you have to do this, you have to do that. You don't have to do [ __ ] A man's job is to provide for the house. It's to provide for his woman. So, if you're his wife, if you're his girlfriend, if you're his his fiance, you should not be working. You need to quit your job right now. I have been with my husband for 7 years and have not worked a day in my life. The day that he makes me pay a bill is the day that he will get served divorce papers. Whoa. All right. She trolling. She got to be trolling. That's what happens. A woman's job is to stay home, not to provide for her household. That's what a man is for. If your man is making you go 50/50 on bills, then you need a new man. A real man doesn't need your money and doesn't need your help. All right. This for the ladies out there. If the day if you're in a 100% relationship, right? If the day that you have to pay a bill, would that also be the same day he you get a divorce? That's what she said. She was like, the day she has to pay a bill, it's the same day he's going to get divorced. She don't love that dude. She love his money. That's what that sound like.
And oh man, that's crazy. And that's why some men are scared of it because they they fear that you don't love them, you love their money. And if you really love them, going 50/50 wouldn't really matter anyways. But I don't know. Some people like to stay at home and work. Some people don't like to work at all. Some people like to contribute. Some people don't like contri contribute. But at the end of the day, I can't tell her what to do because I'm not in a relationship. I don't give relationship advice. What works for them works for them. What work for me work for me. What works for you works for you. But that last statement was crazy. The day she got to pay a bill, the day he gets and they've been married for nine years and she ain't never worked a day in her life. Just imagine if she helped out a little bit. how much further along they'll be. That'll be crazy. That'll be crazy. But let me know down in the comment section. Are you a 100 guy? I mean, are you a 100 guy? Are you a 50-50? Are you a case by case situation and you however life is treating you right now? And that's how life is treating you right now. If you got it, got it. If you don't, you don't. If you need some help, you need some help. Let me know down in the comment section. Ladies, let me know what you think down in the comment section as well.
