In a video spotted by YEN.com.gh, the lady, during a street interview, stated that she would not date a man who still lives with his parents.

According to her, a man who falls into such a category is extremely broke and would not be able to provide for her needs.

“Because, umm, it screams brokeness. Like, you are broke - you are extremely broke. That’s why you are still staying with your parents,” she said.

However, her statement had some contradictions and gave signs that she preferred a relationship she could financially benefit from.

She quickly changed her stance when presented with a hypothetical scenario.

She clarified that if she were unaware of his living situation and he consistently spent money on her, she might reconsider.

“As long as he spends on me, dear, I don’t mind.”

When asked why she deserved to be spent on, she confidently replied:

“Just look at me.”

She confirmed that she receives a monthly allowance of GH₵500 from her current boyfriend.

Her advice to men still living with their parents was blunt: 'Please, leave there'.
