A viral post about a woman refusing to hang out with a man who didn’t provide money to fix her phone has sparked intense debate online. While some supported her decision, others accused her of entitlement. One comment read, “Hangout na only bed, so why not him help her, even na 5k,” implying that hanging out equates to sex and that he should have given her money for that reason.
This toxic mindset reduces relationships to transactions, suggesting financial assistance is owed in exchange for intimacy. Hanging out should never imply sex, and conflating the two undermines healthy dynamics, reinforcing harmful stereotypes about women and relationships.
