Timini Egbuson Says Many Women Have Monetized Dating
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson recently shared his perspective on modern relationships, expressing concern over the increasing trend of monetizing dating.
In an interview with TVC, Egbuson highlighted how this shift has influenced the dynamics between men and women, particularly among the affluent.
He observed that many women now equate a man’s love with his financial generosity, leading to a misconception that lavish spending signifies genuine affection.
Egbuson pointed out that for wealthy men, such expenditures are often inconsequential, allowing them to replicate the same gestures with multiple partners without forming deep emotional connections.
“The nonchalant attitude of some men is because there are a lot of women accessible to them,” Egbuson explained. “Once you have money, you have a lot of options. And that is also because a lot of women have monetized dating.”
He further elaborated that this monetization has led some men to devalue relationships, knowing they can easily attract numerous women through financial means alone. This dynamic, according to Egbuson, has made the dating scene more stressful and challenging to navigate.
Reflecting on his personal experiences, Egbuson revealed that he has chosen to remain single for now, describing the current dating landscape as “stressful” due to these complexities.
