In a world full of sprinkle sprinkle, no girl wants to become a pickmeisha to a dusty. Period.
But the real question still remains—how do you actually know if you’re dating a rich guy? And how do you attract one without getting caught in a cycle of broke guys like it’s a rite of passage?
Now, I’m not claiming to be the expert here—but after countless long, late-night conversations with my girls (some over wine, some over heartbreak), I’ve picked up a few things. Habits. Patterns. Tendencies.
So today, we’re diving into it. Let’s talk about the characteristics of broke guys. And listen—when I say broke, I don’t mean poor. There’s a big difference, darling.
A poor man is someone who simply hasn’t gotten the opportunity yet. He has potential. Give him the right chance, and he could become the next big thing.
A broke man, on the other hand, is someone who has had opportunities—lots of them—but keeps fumbling the bag. Either he ignored them or he blew the money on vibes and nonsense. That’s not misfortune; that’s a pattern.
Let’s get into it.
1. He Wants to Have Sex During the Day
There’s an African proverb that says, “A man’s buttocks should never face the sun.”
Any man who’s trying to get down during daylight hours is idle. Lazy. Unfocused. Like, shouldn’t you be chasing paper or building empires? Not Netflix-and-thrusting at 2 PM?
Sex is a sacred ritual. One that should be performed under the cloak of night when the world is calm and your responsibilities have been met. If he’s out here trying to play bedroom Olympics when the sun is still up, that man has no hustle. Red flag, babes.
2. All Dates Are at His House
This man will never take you out. Never. Dinner date? Forget it.
However, he’ll be the first to call you for a night out clubbing—with a whole crew of his boys and maybe some shisha. Classic broke boy energy.
Now, I’m not saying house dates are a problem. Sometimes it’s cute and cozy. But every time? No, darling. You’re not his roommate.
Make a list of date spots you’d love: nature walks, rooftop coffee, a picnic, even mini-golf. Let him put in the effort—or move along.
3. “Eat for Me Please”
These men will always ask, “Have you eaten?”
Sweet, right? Sounds like he cares? Don’t fall for it. It’s a trap.
Because when you say “No, I haven’t,” he’ll follow it up with “Eat for me please.”
Sir? How does me eating for you solve the problem? This isn’t care—it’s lazy affection. It’s low-effort emotional bait. You deserve better than “eat for me.”
4. They Will Derail You
Now listen, I’ll tell you a joke—but I won’t tell you a lie.
Broke men will always try to derail your progress. They don’t want to see you win. And why? Because your growth threatens their comfort zone. Your success reminds them of everything they’re not doing.
Mention your goals or celebrate a win, and suddenly he’s quiet—or worse, dismissive. That’s not love, that’s sabotage.
Remember: misery loves company. He wants you in the box he’s placed himself in. Don’t shrink to fit it.
I know the list is longer than this, but these are my top four. So, my darling—while you’re out here attracting rich men with vision, intention, and soft hands, don’t accidentally fall for a broke one masquerading as deep or misunderstood. Know the signs. Guard your heart. Sprinkle sprinkle.
