A Ghanaian man has shared some useful life lessons with his fellow men, especially those who struggle to be financially stable.

@mr2real_realtalkm proceeded to list three essential things a man must acquire before taking the bold step to propose to the woman.

He said a man who is ready for a woman should have a house, either owned or rented, a car, and most importantly, a source of income.
"Don't worry the woman, don't propose to her if you don't have a house, either rented or owned. If you don't have a job, either a business or a company or anything that brings you a regular income that you can cater for yourself and the woman and the kids. If you also don't have a car, to help you move from A to B, don't propose to a woman," he opined.
He further stated that any man who does not possess the three things mentioned above is not ready to have a woman and may end up being a headache to her.
In a conversation with YEN.com.gh, a relationship and marriage counsellor, Ama Nsroma said the views expressed by the TikToker are rooted in certain expectations about financial stability and traditional gender roles.
"While having financial stability is a good foundation for marriage, the idea that men should not propose unless they own a house and a car is a narrow perspective that doesn’t take into account individual circumstances, relationship dynamics, or the diversity of modern partnerships. What truly matters is finding a partner with whom you share values, goals, and a vision for the future," she stated.
Netizens share their views on his assertions.
