She takes my money when I’m in need, yeah she’s a trifling friend indeed, oh she’s a gold digger, way overtime that digs on me — Jamie Foxx

Gold diggers,

They come in both sexes. Yes, there are male gold diggers, but for some weird reason, everyone thinks it’s just women who love digging for gold.

Even though gold diggers come in different shapes and sizes, they usually have the same mentality and mission. The mentality is usually entitlement and ingratitude to non-expensive gifts or vast sums of money.

Their mission is to get as much as they can from you financially without you noticing or giving you anything in return so they can live the luxurious life they want. But why do gold diggers never want to work for the lavish lifestyle they so desperately think they deserve?

Anyway, if you are not sure if your boyfriend or girlfriend loves you for you and is just sticking around for your money, you’ve come to the right place. Here are five (5) signs your significant other is a gold digger, and you should break their shovel and kick them out of your life. I take great pleasure in doing this because this is life-saving stuff I’m about to share with you.

Some might even call what I’m about to do heroic

Let us begin!

SIGN 1: ALL THEIR FRIENDS ARE GOLD DIGGERS/HAVE A GOLD-DIGGING MENTALITY

Humans are the average of the five people they hang around the most. If, by the off chance, a gold digger allows you to know their friends and meet them — which rarely happens anyway — and all their friends are gold diggers/have a gold diggers mentality of entering relationships just for the money and not for love and commitment, news flash you are dating a gold digger.

SIGN 2: THEY NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING…EVER!

Whenever you go on an outing or date with your significant other, and they never offer to pay for anything, they’re probably a gold digger. Yes! I know Some of you reading this are already saying but men are supposed to be the providers so they are meant to pay for everything.”

First of all…that’s a parasitic mentality. Secondly, open your eyes! Be smart! If the woman or man you are in a relationship with has NEVER! Keyword NEVER! Bought you anything, not even something as little as a cup of coffee, then get that person out of your life because all they’re doing is digging the gold out of your finance mines.

You also have to watch out because gold diggers are slick AF. They may offer to want to pay for something but stall long enough for you to pay.

You know that “oh! let me just look for my card move they do as they either pat down their pockets or scuffle around in their bag”

Be wise on these streets!

SIGN 3: ALL THEY CARE ABOUT ARE YOUR SOURCES OF INCOME AND NET WORTH

Gold diggers only go where they’re confident there would be gold to dig. In this world of “fake it till you make it”, many people usually look like they “have money”. Still, they almost always never have, or they live paycheck to paycheck.

Now, suppose you look like a wealthy Individual, i.e., you are worth millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, you have nice clothes, a wonderful apartment, expensive shoes, a nice car, expensive jewellery, etc. Because you are rich, be overly cautious when dating someone weirdly interested in how much money you make and your net worth.

There is a difference between someone wanting to know how you make money so they can know if your source of income is perfectly legal and replicable using the same steps you used and someone who only wants to know how much you make and have in the bank account to spend.

Be wise; gold diggers are scandalous and would take you for everything you have without remorse if you let them. Once you notice all they want to know about you is how much you make in a year, what type of car you drive or want to buy next, or how big your house is, kick them out of your life immediately and don’t let them gaslight you into letting them back in.

SIGN 4: THEY ARE EMOTIONALLY DETACHED

Emotional attachment is every gold digger’s kryptonite. They know they are finished if they commit the grave sin of falling in love with you. So, they take precautions by ensuring they remain emotionally distant and cold towards you. They never allow you to know them profoundly or do things they know might pull their heartstrings in your favour.

They would only allow you to buy them the many expensive material things on their wish list. Anything other than that is too much. Gold diggers would not let you go as far as seeing or knowing their family. They make it a duty to keep the relationship as shallow as possible.

SIGN 5: THEY WILL ALWAYS VALUE EXPENSIVE GIFTS AND THINGS OVER THOUGHTFUL GESTURES

Thoughtful gestures stem from intimacy in a relationship. You can make a kind gesture for your significant other because you know them well enough to know what they would like/appreciate and at what point in their lives.

Since gold diggers prefer to keep the relationship at its shallow stage, there is no way you’d know what they like except by buying them expensive stuff or giving them a tremendous amount of money. And even if you go out of the way to try and do a thoughtful gesture for them, thinking they’d like it, you’d only be met with disappointment and ingratitude. Please do not date a gold digger even though you think they are the only ones you can convince to love you.

NO ONE IS DOING YOU A FAVOUR BY LOVING YOU. ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU THAT OR CARRIES THAT DEMEANOUR AROUND YOU DOES NOT TRULY LOVE YOU.

You deserve to be with someone who loves you for you and not for your material possessions.
