Actress Yetunde Bakare, has provided insight into why some men query about what a woman adds to a relationship, stating that she has never personally experienced such questions.
She offered her viewpoint, speculating that males might view women who respond to these kinds of questions as untalented.
Bakare revealed this to Punch during an interview.
The thespian insisted that the men might have studied their spouses and realised that they lacked vision and purpose.
She said: “I personally think that is not a general question. Nobody has ever asked me that. I feel men often ask such questions when they don’t see the woman they are with as someone who has potential.
“He might have studied her and realised that she does not have foresight, or that she lacks vision and purpose.
“He might also see her as someone who is more interested in a luxury lifestyle that she cannot afford on her own. I feel it is just an excuse for the man to let such a woman go.”
Recall that Yetunde Bakare, an actress, stated that finding true love is more difficult than keeping it.
“Finding true love is harder than keeping it,” Bakare stated in an interview with The Punch. It is more complicated nowadays, because a lot of people have had bad experiences and they tend to withdraw easily in order to protect their peace and sanity.
“I believe one needs to love, value and discover oneself before thinking of a healthy relationship.”
She also debunked the notion that fame led to automatic happiness.
She said, “That is not totally true, because the rich also cry. If one is a people pleaser, one will have a lot of breakdowns keeping up with fame.
“When one is famous, the expectations from the public will be on the high side. People will hardly understand that one is human too.”
The ‘Modi Monso’ actress also stated that celebrities usually had mental health issues as a result of pressure from fans.
Bakare said, “Celebrities have mental health issues due to the pressures from fans, and seeking unnecessary validations from the public.
“For me, I keep everything in check and I don’t follow the crowd. Nothing bothers me or gets to me, because I understand what I was getting into when I joined the industry.
“What also helps to keep my mental health in check is being content and staying focused on my personal growth. Anytime I feel stressed, I find someone to talk to, and once I let it all out, I’m absolutely fine. I know it’s not easy with some people, because they don’t have anybody to confide in.”
