Entitlement in Dating: Why Generosity, Not Expectation, Wins

I’ve seen women ask men to cover bus fares or buy yam before a simple chat can continue. When men refuse, they walk away. Yet a small gesture like paying ₦200 still creates a lasting impression. I believe the issue isn’t whether men should pay or women should receive. It’s entitlement. No one should assume financial responsibility just for saying hello. Generosity is kind. Expectation is manipulative. A healthy relationship is a partnership, not a sponsorship. Stand on your own feet first. Then appreciate or reciprocate any help. Generosity, gratitude, and reciprocity are far more attractive than entitlement.
