The current financial climate is harsh, and many people are struggling to make ends meet, let alone support an entire family. This makes dating seem almost impossible, yet the urge to find love and build lasting relationships remains as strong as ever. But if you are earning a low salary, does this mean you shouldn’t be dating? One relationship expert seems to think so, and she has publicly stated this, much to the internet’s displeasure.
No Dating for Low-Income Earners Many women might agree that they should never be taken for granted. Likewise, they should not be expected to settle for less than they desire. Some prefer a simple life, requiring no splendor, while others enjoy a glamorous lifestyle and wish to be treated accordingly. Neither preference is right or wrong, and neither should settle for anything below their expectations. However, Karla Elia, a 23-year-old relationship coach, now claims that men who earn a low income “shouldn’t be dating in the first place.” She believes women should be treated as queens and should only date men who can afford their lifestyle choices.
Karla makes a living giving relationship advice and encourages women to find men who will support their chosen lifestyles without breaking the bank. She insists that a woman’s time is more “precious” than a man’s and thus, they should be treated as special and placed on pedestals. “When a woman settles down and gets married, fertility is not forever. A man can start over with a new girl at any age. As women, we don’t have that luxury. That means a woman’s time is more valuable because she has more to lose. We shouldn’t be treated equally to men; we should be treated as precious.”
Women are Investments According to Karla, men who date women should cover all date expenses, including meals and travel, and regularly shower their partners with flowers and gifts. To her, women are investments, not just romantic partners. “A man needs to understand he has to be in a financial place to invest in a woman,” she said. “We are investments. I know I can afford my lifestyle, and if someone can’t afford and add value to that, I would say ‘thank you, next’.”
Karla is no longer dating because she got married last year on May 25th. Her husband is transitioning from a high-ranking role in the US Navy and continues to support her lavish lifestyle choices, allegedly with investments in the stock market.
Start Dating with an Abundance Mindset According to Karla’s teachings, to find their dream man, women must adopt an “abundance mindset.” This involves knowing their worth and what they deserve, understanding that their prime time for starting a family is limited. “To find these men, you have to step into the energy of ‘I am worthy, I am healing, and I am not making decisions from a place of insecurity,’” she said.
Additionally, women should only date men who understand that women have their own ambitions and are not interested in the traditional role of staying home with the kids. They should share common goals with their partners, such as starting a family and building strong career paths. “They both have the common goal of creating a family, being stable, and growing with each other,” she said.
