A young woman has ignited heated conversations online after posting a viral video advising women to approach relationships with men as opportunities for personal advancement rather than just companionship.
In the video, which quickly spread across X (formerly Twitter), she urged women to ensure that every relationship leaves a lasting impact on their lives.
“Use men as a stepping stone, use men to up-skill, use men to upgrade your life. Make sure no man leaves you without an impact,”
she declared.
She cautioned women against entertaining men who bring no value, insisting that each encounter should result in progress, whether academically, financially, or in skill acquisition.
To illustrate her point, she advised women aspiring to learn new skills but unable to afford training to leverage relationships with men to secure the opportunity. For businesswomen, she suggested ensuring that men provide resources such as land and property that could serve as future investments.
“Even if the relationship ends, the assets remain,” she stressed, adding that no woman should allow a man to pass through her life without leaving something tangible behind.
Her remarks have sharply divided opinion on social media, with some users applauding her for promoting women’s empowerment, while others condemned the advice as transactional and exploitative.
The controversial take continues to trend, sparking conversations about modern relationship dynamics and the value exchange between partners.
