Don't Waste Your Youth Playing 'Wife Material'

When you search for advice on being 'wife material,' you'll find a plethora of tips for women on how to cook, clean, and avoid having fun. However, most of these tips are misleading and can lead to a waste of valuable youth.

It's essential to understand that there's a time for everything, and being a 'wife material' is not a suitable goal for young women. In fact, it can be detrimental to their personal growth and development.

As a university student, I had a neighbor who would borrow bar soap to wash her boyfriend's clothes and cooking oil to make him a meal. She must have been a first or second-year student at the time. This behavior is a perfect example of how some women waste their youth playing 'wife material' to boys.

Later on, I lived next to a male neighbor whose girlfriend would visit over the weekend to wash his house and clothes. She was a clean freak, and the man eventually ended up marrying someone else. This story highlights the importance of setting standards and not wasting one's youth on men who don't respect them.

It's crucial to understand that a man who asks you to perform his house chores doesn't respect you. He's either using you or selling you short. If you agree to clear the table after a meal, he'll eventually stop asking and start expecting. Never subject yourself to cleaning or organizing anything.

Remember, power shifts hands very fast in relationships, and if you bend low to pick something from the floor, that's it. You have the upper hand in the relationship, and it's essential to maintain it.

At the end of the day, it's your choice whether to play 'wife material' to boys. However, think about your time and your youth. You'll soon be walking around with rough hands, and you'll have wasted your youth, never to get it back. Be wise and run away from lazy boys. There are plenty of gentlemen out here.
