"She wants someone who is stable in life na... Gusto ko sana sabihin na P100K sahod ko per month eh kaso 'wag na lang."
Kuwento ng isang lalaki, binasted daw siya ng nililigawan niya dahil akala raw nito maliit ang sahod niya.
"So there's this girl that I had a crush on. We were classmates on 1 subject (Graduate school), and I thought we were okay kasi masaya naman kami pag magkasama at magka-chat. After the semester, I decided to confess and asked her out but she rejected me," anang lalaki sa online community na Reddit.
Pinaliwanag naman daw sa kaniya no'ng babae na binigyan nito ng chance 'yong isa pa niyang nanliligaw kung saan nag-e-earn na raw ito ng P70,000 hanggang P80,000 per month.

"She then proceeded to explain na there's this guy rin from work na nililigawan siya, and she likes that guy too. She did mention na she likes me as well and considered me as a partner but she wants someone who is stable in life na. That guy raw kasi earns 70-80k a month (sahod+business combined) kaya she decided na to give that guy a chance kasi at our age, she's just being practical," kuwento pa niya.
"So I just smiled and said 'Oh okay I understand. Fair enough haha. Sige, I wish you all the best.' Gusto ko sana sabihan na '100k+ sahod ko per month eh' kaso wag nalang hahahahha.
"Akala niya ata broke ako kasi sa mga memes na shine-share ko sa Facebook lol HAHAHAHA."
Saad pa niya sa comment section, "Kaya pala she asked me once magkano sahod ko. I just smiled and said 'hulaan mo' then she said '40K' so tumawa lang ako sabi ko 'secrettt.' Ayoko naman kasing magsinungaling at ayoko magyabang lol."
Umani naman ng samu't saring reaksyon ang naturang post ng lalaki.
"Puro ka daw kasi memes. Dapat daw humble brag. Haha. Pero yikes naman yung guy na nagshare ng sahod nya. Like, nugagawen?"
"Dapat tinanong mo din sya kung magkano sahod nya, kasi for sure nagtatrabaho din sya di ba? Nasa grad school e. Nang magkaalaman."
"To be fair, at least honest yung girl sa intentions niya and red flags. It's scummy in hindsight, pero practical din on the other hand."
"Its practical approach... she is not wrong. You should have said na slightly above the other guy... now d2 kana nag rarant. Instead of taking the chance... d2 sa abroad its always good to know what are you into kasi its not only attraction but also sacrifice. If pera pa ang problemahin mo e maghanap ako ng mas magandang chance. Dont get offended about it, its just a straightforward thing at this point. Maybe she is into long term."
"Lol babae din ako pero nakaka urat yung mga ganyang babae na nagtatanong kung magkano sweldo. Nakaka-turn off. Never ko tinanong husband ko magkano sweldo nya kahit noong mag jowa palang kami. Red flag na yan. Kung hindi sya maluho hindi nya aalamin laman ng wallet mo, nagpapaka-practical daw lol. Haha funny ni anteh. Goods na yan OP na hindi sya makakatuluyan mo, kundi drain yang wallet mo."
"pero iniisip ko sana after niya sabihin yun, pinaalam mo na actually you earn more than that. Then after magbago isip niya, wag mo na ipursue kasi na off ka. sarap magpaka petty"
"I get her wanting to be practical and I’m guessing she wants to have a provider as a partner. Okay gets buuuut I think she doesn’t fully understand the concept."
"Hahahahahaha babaw ni ate. Hindi lang naman dapat sa sweldo tumitingin. Factor din dapat how he manages his finances, his financial goals and/or liabilities and his potential to earn more."
"Tbh, I might ask that question too. Not because we share the same reasons but because nadala na ako. My ex couldn’t handle the money I’m earning, nasaktan ego niya. Tapos naging free loader pa. So yes, I would ask so I won’t experience the same trauma. I hope that’s valid."
