South African social media users have shared their polarized views on whether or not a girlfriend allowance is a thing and whether boyfriends should give their girlfriends a consistent and monthly allowance. <\/p>\n

According to Tsapitori.com, a girlfriend allowance is a sum of money that is given to a woman monthly by her boyfriend. The monthly allowance is a nice gesture but not an obligation, said the site. <\/p>\n

The girlfriend allowance conversation got kicked off, AGAIN, after content creator and stay-at-home-girlfriend, Trully Zoe, shared a vlog on TikTok of how she spends her monthly salary from her boyfriend. <\/p>\n

According to Trully Zoe, she spends her allowance on a couple of things, including going to the gym to keep fit with a personal trainer, going to pilates, shopping for clothes and make up, grooming activities (facials, nails and waxes), going to therapy and weekly wig installations. <\/p>\n

Commenting on Trully Zoe\u2019s video on 947DriveWithThando, show host Thando Thabethe revealed that she had never received an allowance or money from a man.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe calls herself a stay-at-home-girlfriend. So she\u2019s a stay at home girlfriend and maybe we\u2019re jealous because I\u2019m just like where do you find these men?\u201d said Thabethe. <\/p>\n

Twitter user, @IamEriOluwa, responded: \u201cWhen you ladies find the guys. Please, invite me on a date 🙃 I wanna learn one or two things from them lolz. I mean, there’s something they know about making money that some of us need to learn lolz. Wife allowance, I understand but girlfriend allowance. I mean monthly…. Please, I wanna learn \u270d\ufe0f.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another user, Charlie Cesc Makgoba, said: \u201cI would never pay someone to be in a relationship with me, yes I’ve had 5 failed relationships this year alone, kodwa i won’t give up and I won’t pay someone to love me… ke mfana wako Tembisa nna…\u201d<\/p>\n

Whilst Son of the soil said: \u201cGirl friend allowance is a good idea for us as young men because it helps us to make our proper budget. I used to give mine 600-700 per month with conditions tt she must not ask me anything during the month. This helps me to save more money bcs there was no unnecessary demands.\u201d<\/p>\n
