Why Helping Men Build Doesn’t Favour Women

Women discuss why ride or die girls finish last.
If he is 35 and doesn’t have his life together leave stop helping them build. Why helping men build doesn’t favour women.

[@TheKatangeseDollar]

A Nigerian lady made this mistake. She was well established in the UK with permanent residency. She had her own home and high paying job. She met another Nigerian who was on an expired visa, living sharing a house with 10 other people. She fell in love, brought him into her home. They got married and she sponsored him for permenant residency. She polished him up, and gave him money to start an importing business. She even gave him money to send back to his family in Nigeria. They had 2 sons. Once he got PR he visited Nigeria often spoiling his family with her money and for business reasons. On one occasion he stayed in Nigeria for longer than usual. He told her it was for business. Guess what, a mutual friend had sent the lady photos of her husband's wedding to another woman. From the photos - the man had been funding his new wife's and in laws' lifestyle including a new Range Rover and house. Ladies, do not make this woman's mistakes.

You ought to hold hands with a man and walk with him (complementing each other).

Never built a man but dated a man who was at the same level as me. He still felt the need to compete with me. Never understood his behavior because I had never dated anyone who saw me as a competition. Eventually, I got it and left. If a man that's on the same level as me can show me flames, how much more a man that's below me. No one can ever make me feel bad for dating men who earn more than double my income. I have my own property and car, don't come near me if you don't. I'm never going to be a man frustration tool or trauma dump when they feel like they are behind their peers.

[@damabelcedeno5524]

Never build a man because once they reach that level of success with your support- they will not want to give you any credit! It’s resentment and it’s ego based. He does not want to be reminded that he needed support. Men like to make it look like they accomplish things in their own. The best thing to do is if you’re in a relationship where he is not yet at his level of success, allow him to figure things out in his own. Make your OWN decision as a women on whether it’s worth staying or not, because they will also not express it. 🫠

[@Penelopeking1]

She will build him forever. He will forever need help with something The helping family part is not discussed enough and the biggest scam of all. It's like cheating with another woman but far far worst because it's a lifetime of sponsorship, it happens right under her nose and society will praise him and boost his ego. On top of that the family will join forces to keep her submissive and assassinate her character if she dares to speak up against it. Once he is tired of helping them he will quickly find something else to invest in but it will never be the 50:50 wife that helped build him. I know far too many women end up resentful and sick.

[@Kayprofessor]

Paid for my man to get through college cause he said he would take care of me after that. I dressed him real nice and all that too. When it was time to take care of me when we had a kid he said “no, you paying for me was your choice.” He knew what the deal was supposed to be. He left me for another woman at the job that I killed myself for him to have cause I was washing his uniform and raising our kid by myself and working. He left me with no money and tried to have me thrown out of the house. The house that I got us. That could have been the end of the story but the court saw what he did and sided with me. He eventually repented and is being the husband and father he was supposed to be. That took prayer and intervention ladies. And he has free will so he did not have to repent. Don’t build a man. Get a man that is ready to build a life with you, not off you.

[@vizeas]

@@vizeas I am still technically divorced, I chose to finish the divorce because I am protecting myself in that way. I may not ever even live with him again because I am so happy with my own space. I learned so much about boundaries and feminine energy that he will never get me in that position again. Because he is dealing with a new person. Our interactions are different now. He pursues me and I receive. I know my worth now and he hast to work to get his family back all the way. I’ve done things too in the past, never tried to hurt him but I did. He has gotten a lot of mental health help and came back to his faith. It’s been a long road and I will marry him again if I see long enough change. If he slips much at all I will move on. He got really lost and is finding his way back. I feel very in control of my situation. I have money because the court makes him pay 😜 but I am waiting to see if he continues to pay when alimony ends 😘 So far it’s been almost a year of me getting pretty much whatever I ask for.

@@sammich-lp2qm you are correct about one thing. He realized on every level that life was better and less complicated with his family in it. He fucked up bad. How did I take accountability for him?

And they’ve made up in their heads that I would actually care if he he was more skilled at something, or what have you-I just want to do stuff with a partner, it’s not a contest except in silly fun. And because I have those varied interest, instead of wanting to break me like a horse, it’s closer to attempting to skin tiger. Everything I am, from hobbies, to education, to etc etc etc (which aren’t how I define myself, why I’m flippant about the list) is seen as “dangerous” so they want to neutralize that danger. If someone views you as a man eating tiger, but is fascinated by all you are _as a tiger_ finding out that they want you to submit completely, and once you have helped them get their crap together, they remember the tiger is dangerous, and try to skin it so they can prove they’ve conquered the tiger, and then turn around and use everything they learned from the tiger, to get someone else. (Had another thought, it escaped me. Will edit the post if it comes back 😅) I love your videos. Especially because it’s not all filtered through “but not _men_ “ when everyone one knows that is not what a woman says when she is frustrated with the min in her life. I really appreciate your channel. I hope it doesn’t get deboosted once the YT highlighting black voices week/month stops.

Being exotic looking isn't dehumanizing.

[@Crisjola]

@@CyberMachine this is true. But having your entire _everything else_ from personality to intelligence dismissed, put down, and generally mocked, with the only focus being “oh you’re _only_ attractive because you’re exotic looking” is very much dehumanizing. It follows the same principles of a man being judged only for his d^ck size (which I happen to fine offensive on their behalf) as dehumanizing. It’s dehumanizing when you can’t actually tell if someone is talking about a car they think is sleek, or a real person. Being exotic looking while still recognized as a person with interests and etc isn’t dehumanizing. Being compared to a lambo is. And this also goes for the women who “jokingly” compare men to d^ldos and how they’ll “never measure up.” Which just means people are having crappy s^x, and not that men can’t compete with some motors and silicone. Edit for clarity; If someone is dating you _ because_ you look mixed race and thus “exotic” and for zero other reasons, that is dehumanizing because it’s reducing you down to only looks. And at that point I’d rather suggest that whomever thinks that finds a middle the road priced sports car, and he involved with that, since if someone, to the people K was referring to suddenly decide that they only like half Asians and that trait is the reason r they are the interests in her (or him) then that is dehumanizing. It’s not appreciating beauty. I’ve had plenty people tell me I’m pretty without the under or over tones of being compared to an inanimate objet.

[@CyberMachine]

@@Crisjola Life is a whole lot easier when you realize men primarily care about looks and there's nothing that we can do about it.

[@Crisjola]

@@CyberMachine I can have standards. Also they might prioritize looks (I’m lucky to be conventionally attractive) but the absurd jealousy I’ve run across from men who _just cannot stand_ that a woman might have more education than they do, or know more about something than they do with their hobby speaks to more than just looks. They’ve been socialized to be entitled to whatever they want regarding “the fairer sex” and that has created fragile egos where a woman who might know more than they do in some shared hobby is almost always immediately put down and told they can’t _possibly_ know anything about said interest. They no longer have to be mature and responsible so they feel entitled to whatever it is their mind can come up with. I have nothing against the Feminism of 70 but they absolutely caused (accidentally) men to go “oh, you work, still clean, and will raise the kids? Neat. I can do nothing.”

[@MothersHeartGypsyDoVe]

​@Crisjola That last part...it's exactly what I'm seeing as well. They have now decided they want wombmen to do it all. While they sit at home playing video games, likely having any children doing chores while they play like an oversized manchild. Seems they want to be treated like the wombman now but they have a warped idea of what that is. Somehow they want role reversal but not willing to do the cooking,cleaning, laundry, birthing and all the other hard-work a Mother and wife does. Yet they want to be wooed like a woman an treated with all the perks. They think wombman have. They are clueless apparently to all the oppression wombmen have endured over many centuries.

why do so many women accept being called b-ches? to call a woman a female dog seems to be the norm in some communities. I know it ain't so in Africa but in the US it seems to be the norm. I don't accept it.

[@porchiajohnson1441]

As a black woman I hate seeing so many black, latino, and queer men so casually refer to women as bitches and hoes. I never befriend these men or be in their face. I personally don't even like to use curse words.

[@MVPA-io5ee]

[@ds37215]

It's American hood culture to call women "b.tches" and "females." I'm American and don't speak that way or associate with anyone who does.

[@may-fz3tn]

It’s not the norm in America, it’s only among low value men/ women.

[@BabalonNuit]

As long as women overlook verbal disrespect, it will invariably lead to PHYSICAL disrespect. If men don't respect you from the get-go, then don't expect it to "get better". He showed you right there what he thought of women, when he referred to them as "bitches" (or other derogatory names).

[@Childfree334]

I have no sympathy for Betty Broderick. Ain't no way in heck a man is going to push me to the point of unaliving him so I will spend my life in prison. She was stupid and messy. I just would have taken half his fortune and gone about my business. She destroyed the lives of 5 kids in one fell swoop.

[@TheKatangeseDollar]

@@Childfree334 According to Betty's daughter's book, Betty was the aggressor in her parent's toxic marriage. Her aggression towards Dan increased when he left her for Linda. Dan and Linda were no angels either.

[@Childfree334]

@@TheKatangeseDollar I take what kids say with a grain of salt🧂. She doesn't know everything that went on in her parent's marriage. She is angry at her mother for unaliving her father, and rightfully so, but that gives her a reason to be biased.

Helped him to and from work with any little bus fare I had he got himself a car with his first check and wouldnt let me drive his car so I could look for a job by his second pay check he took his whole check and left me and our kids with no food and no money and gave it all to the same woman he cheated on me before that called our kids bastards and said f$#k them and she's absolutely enjoying it and said she wants to hurt me. He did this not even 3 months after my mother passed away. I am traumatized, I'm nearly on the verge of losing faith in a God, I dont trust anyone, I have secluded myself and I only go out when I have to do something for my kids. I dont want to be around anybody I'm broken inside and I'm just finished I dont want anybody anymore I just want to stay away from everybody this entire world I jus want to stay away from it.

It's sad that so many women have been traumatized by these relationships with jealous men. In the same breath, don't let the trauma stop you from being the generous person you are, just find an equally generous man that truly loves and respects you. A relationship is about partnership and uplifting each other, but its tough out here. I think the internet makes it difficult for men and women to trust each other or at least that's the perception that it gives.

I’m not going to lie I learned my lesson from this because I tried to be this woman who was down and had his back and I got nothing in return. I was always looked for to pay for the tab for dinner, buy food for the take out, always was the one driving every where we needed to go and he never paid for gas but once he got himself together I was never taken on any dates he would plan them but never showed up, if we got food to go all of sudden it’s 50/50, he got his car he never came to see but was driving everywhere else and if we did go somewhere we had to meet up and once we broke up he did everything for the next girl showed up to dates and paid, picked her up , went to see her in his free time and that hurt knowing I was there for at his lowest and was unappreciated for it and ever since then my standards and boundaries has been sky high and now people say I’m mean, cold hearted and shallow for not wanting to settle and paying to the obvious red flags. Can never win.

He's my age, and I'm happy with him. I didn't experience what these women are talking about in the video until now, and I know I picked my partner well. I didn't build him, and I'm not building him. He has a job, we're still saving money, the house we'll buy will be on both our names, and I'm NOT taking a bank loan, neither is he. Everything we do, we do cash down, with receipts and documents.
