“Women only respond with the energy of deception” — a man sparked a discussion about the relationship on the Internet

AND man sparked controversy online after she claimed that many women only respond with equal energy when it comes to cheating in relationships, while not reciprocating the gifts and love of their partners.

The viral statement caused mixed reactions on social networks

An unidentified man said this during a discussion about modern dating and emotional investment in relationships.

His comments, which quickly went viral on social media platforms, drew backlash from users, with some agreeing with his frustrations while others accused to make unfair generalizations about women.

“In case you’re feeling stupid, I come from a country where most women don’t reciprocate any energy other than cheating. If you buy them a car, they won’t buy you a car. If you buy them a watch, they won’t buy you a watch. But the moment you cheat, that’s when they become reciprocating masters.” he added.

The debate reflects the growing tension surrounding modern relationships

The comments have reopened conversations about expectations, loyalty and the emotional stakes in relationships, especially among young people in Nigeria where social media debates about dating culture remain a regular trend.

In recent years, similar debates about relationships have dominated online spaces, with men and women often arguing over financial responsibility, gift giving and emotional support in romantic partnerships.

In 2025, several viral podcasts and online interviews also sparked backlash after speakers made controversial claims about gender expectations in relationships.

While some users described the man’s comments as appropriate, others insisted that healthy relationships should be built on communication, trust and mutual respect, not stereotypes.
