“Problems Begin When Flowers Are Replaced With Money”- Man Speaks On Modern Dating

• A man has shared his views on modern relationships, highlighting a decline in simple romantic gestures.
• He argues that traditional symbols of love, like giving flowers, are being replaced by monetary gifts.
• This shift indicates deeper issues within today’s dating culture and changing priorities in romantic expressions.

A man has sparked widespread reactions online after sharing his perspective on modern relationships, arguing that the decline of simple romantic gestures reflects deeper issues in today’s dating culture.

In his post, he noted that traditional acts like giving flowers have long symbolised love and thoughtfulness, but are increasingly being replaced with money. According to him, this change signals a troubling shift in priorities.

He said that flowers represent affection and intentional care, pointing out that the tradition is still practised in other parts of the world where it originated. However, he observed that in Nigeria, cash gifts often take the place of symbolic gestures.

The man stressed that choosing money over meaningful expressions of love highlights growing materialism and reveals a lot about people’s values and character in relationships.

“The moment people stop giving flowers and replace them with money, that’s when I know problems have started in the relationship space. Flowers are a symbol of love, and even the white people who started the tradition are still using flowers.”

@Josiahbig_1: “Facts: men are enablers of all this. Every wrong thing with society was enabled by men (simps).”

@Samzonal: “Toor, flower keh. For Nigerian girl?”

@dannybnxk: “My hubby will know that she met an intentional wealthy man who upholds traditional meaning to kind gestures. When wealth is no longer the chase, poor character exposes itself.”

@Efedrift: “So na flower una take show love before colonialism? Answer that question first.”

@Nate0x0x“I never saw the meaning of that thing. It’s crude and just belittles the action. We make cash.”
