A Nigerian man has stirred reactions online after sharing an unpleasant encounter with a woman he recently went on a date with.
In a video circulating on X (formerly Twitter), the man narrated how the woman allegedly asked about his monthly income during their first meeting.
He expressed surprise at her question, arguing that discussing his earnings at such an early stage of their acquaintance was unnecessary. According to him, there are certain personal matters that should not come up when two people are just getting acquainted.
Explaining why he found the question uncomfortable, he said:
“I don’t know why you’re asking me how much I earn for a living if you’re not coming for something different. I feel like there are some certain questions we ask when you’re on a date with somebody, and they just don’t make sense. Why do you want to know my earnings? We’re just meeting for the first time.
It’s more like asking a lady, ‘What’s your body count?’ How does it sound? I mean, there are just some questions that don’t make sense. Anyway, I’m driving out. I’m going on a second date with another girl. No time.”
He maintained that asking about a man’s income on a first date was just as intrusive as asking a woman about her sexual history, stressing that such discussions could create unnecessary tension during an initial meeting.
The man further revealed that he was not dwelling on the experience, as he was already on his way to meet another woman for a second date.
His disclosure has triggered discussions on social media, with users expressing different opinions on whether financial questions should be part of a first date or reserved for when a relationship becomes more serious.
