A TikTok video by Cuban user @geraryiyi has taken social media by storm, sparking a wave of reactions with his thought-provoking commentary. Entitled "This Is Something They Haven't Told You," the content creator shares his perspective on why some men label certain women as "gold diggers."
"Find a woman who fits your budget. Naturally, a man is supposed to provide, and naturally, a woman's whims should be indulged. Then you go for a girl with expensive tastes and call her a gold digger. The blame was always yours," he declares in the video, which has already garnered tens of thousands of views.
The clip has stirred controversy, with some users agreeing with his stance and emphasizing that relationships should be built on realistic financial expectations. Meanwhile, others criticize the generalization, arguing that it perpetuates stereotypes about gender and money.
Among the most notable comments are those accusing him of endorsing a materialistic view of romantic relationships, while others praise him for "putting men who play the victim in their place."
The post has become a platform for discussing the role of money in romantic relationships and the traditional responsibilities often assigned to men and women.
