Rebecca Tweneboah Darko: Are men really the prize when it comes to relationships?

Another weekend run took place at Ashiaman market due to the reasonable prices of cassava paste vendors.

This also applies to sellers of onions and palm oil (Directly from the Volta region). I think we can all feel the rise in prices of everything, so I won’t bore you with this conversation. Read about it on myjoyonline.com.

At the mini market just across from where I bought my salmon (from Abidjan), for some reason the thought of our mechanic came to my mind. Since I hadn’t visited her and her newborn yet, I was getting ready to buy her some food and a few things for the house. A month ago he told me about the arrival of his new bundle of joy.

But according to my brother, it turned out that the child our mechanic gave birth to last month was not his.

He looked after the pregnancy and the mother because this was his ‘Woman’ until, a month after the baby was born, the woman told him that the baby belonged to someone else.

I asked where he heard that and my brother told me the mechanic trusted him. The conversation ended; I didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t call him and say anything because, for God’s sake, what do I say to someone going through such a situation? May God be with you? Or how do you feel? Or are there a few things I bought for you and the baby?

Frankly, I had no idea, so I just went with the flow for the moment. I said you can’t be a hero in every situation, Becky, that’s okay.

Later that evening I came across a friend’s situation. “80 percent of breakups are initiated by women,” she wrote. The dialogue between us after I made this comment is as follows:

I disagree but….

Friend: That’s a fact. Statistics don’t lie.

Me: If statistics show that 80 percent of breakups are initiated by women, then men weren’t that interested in the relationship.

Friend: Here we go

Statistics and facts. Women leave more relationships than men.

Me: Waiting for a woman to start a separation before taking action?

Friend: Statistics and facts. Women leave more relationships than men.

Me: If we break up why do you think so? Who is to blame? Woman? Why don’t we talk about the real reason he left?

He called immediately. He called me because I thought texting wouldn’t convince me enough and I needed to understand better what he meant by that. When I picked up the phone he said: “Do you have to argue about everything? Google it; statistics don’t lie.”

Now the men have the prize, ooo; If you think you want to leave, you can continue; no one will chase you; That era is over.

I even had to tell my teenage children that they were the prize. I told him to relax because I was just trying to explain to the person who came up with the statistics that 80% of the breakups in relationships are initiated by women, to think about the real reason for the breakup in question. From where? Are men the prize?

She said, “Becky, let me tell you something; men don’t care anymore. They are more focused on their own peace and well-being, not letting women stress them out with their drama.

If you think the relationship is over, you can leave. No one will beg you to stay. You’ve made your decision; have it!”

Have you noticed that the number of men chasing you in your 20s drastically decreases once you reach your 30s? We are the prize. Know this and know peace.

At this point, I had a lot to ask for clarity, but let’s leave it at that; I needed to get some sleep before the sun rose. Did I let him go? No, because I woke up thinking about the whole conversation and wondering to myself if the men were really the prize.

American comedian, actor and rapper Karlous Miller said something in his interview with Shannon Sharpe at Club Shayshay; “I’m not even looking into it; we’re not going anywhere unless you love me first,” he said.

He was answering a question about how he picks his dates. “How do you all use your fame?” he added. I think he meant that he was the prize; women choose him because they like him first, so there was no need for a week of persuasion with dates and flowers in between before he finally committed.

This makes sense; Actually, men are the prize, I thought. It really depends on how you see it! Also, if you think about it literally, you’ll realize that for those of you who subscribe to dating apps, you have to pay, swipe on guys, and literally be the first to message him.

I will tell you about dating app experiences in more detail in my next article, but men, tell me, Why do you think you are the prize when it comes to relationships and women, do you think men are really the prize? Because that’s not what Lori Harvey said.

Here are examples of opinions on this subject

My lawyer friend sent this

“If both people have mutual respect and love for each other, this will eliminate the question of who is the prize.”

Join the conversation, I’ll hear from you in the comments below

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL MEN’S DAY TO ALL MEN IN THE WORLD, LOVE ALWAYS.
