Digital creator and influencer Shorn Arwa has shared her candid experience dating a man who was financially struggling during a mentally challenging period in her life. In an interview with comedian Dr. Ofweneke on TV47, she reflected on the emotional and mental toll the relationship took on her. “I dated a broke man when I was mentally ill. I was just like, I can’t do this anymore,” she said, noting that the experience left her drained and determined not to repeat it.
When asked about her ideal partner, Arwa emphasized confidence as a key quality. “I like a very confident man, just not as talkative as me. Sometimes you wake up and hear a lot of things from the vlog. You have to be confident and trust your woman, knowing she has your back,” she explained. For Arwa, confidence is crucial, particularly for a partner who can handle the pressures that come with her public life. She also shared how she has learned to ignore negative comments online. “I hear things about myself and I’m like, ‘aaah no, add some creativity!’” she laughed.
Arwa also offered advice to women about relationships, suggesting that practical considerations should come before emotions. “Love will come. Marry for convenience, and the love will grow. Women are taught how to nurture, how to grow the love in the process. If you don’t look at the money, you will suffer,” she said. Her perspective encourages women to balance emotional connection with financial stability and long-term compatibility when choosing a partner.
Shorn Arwa’s reflections highlight the challenges of dating under difficult circumstances and underscore the importance of confidence, trust, and practical considerations in building a sustainable relationship.
