In a recent episode of her podcast, Toke Moments, popular media personality Toke Makinwa shared her thoughts on societal expectations surrounding relationships, urging singles to maintain their standards when choosing a partner.

Makinwa emphasized that individuals should not feel compelled to compromise their preferences due to societal pressure.

She argued that it’s acceptable for a woman to rely on a man for financial support if that is her choice, advising men who are uncomfortable with such arrangements to simply seek partners who align with their values.

“If you say, ‘Oh, this girl is a money-hungry girl. All she wants is a man to pay her bills.’ If you can’t pay her bills, leave. There is another guy who that is what he is looking for.

“You don’t need to lower your standards. There are over a billion people in this world. You can go and find somebody who has what you are looking for. Stop letting society dictate for you,” Makinwa stated during the podcast.

Addressing the tendency for online arguments about relationship dynamics, Makinwa noted that it’s often unnecessary. “I feel like we make things harder than they are; fighting online with our opinions. If somebody is not what you are looking for, refuse the urge to start trying to pinpoint what is wrong with them because it is actually a reflection of you and not them,” she added.

Makinwa’s remarks have sparked conversations about individual preferences and societal expectations in modern relationships.
