Popular OAP and media personality has a viral video about guys and their preferred mode of communication.
The snippet being repeatedly shared on social media platforms shows Toke Makinwa expressing her preference for guys who spend ‘money’ on calls as opposed to making Internet calls or just texting.

Girls really like being called instead of just being texted all the time, the ‘On Becoming’ author says, and she seems right on that one. Almost all the women I asked say they prefer that.
What’s not right about that clip, and what obviously upset most people online is how she all but expressly declares that guys that make Whatsapp calls aren’t good enough. To her, calling shows effort and by not spending money to call a lady you’re interested in or in a relationship with, it suggests that you are lazy and not willing to do the work.
Watching the full vlog on Youtube puts what she says in that snippet in some perspective but it does not change the fact that calls, whether through Whatsapp or the other way, actuallyshows effort.
The effort might not be good for her, that’s her choice, her opinion, but it does show effort and no one should feel unduly pushed into demanding more just because of this.
The problem is with ladies who’ll hear this and take it as their standard.
Your boyfriend isn’t all that boxed up but he realizes that you love to be called instead of being texted and does that regularly.
Are you going to give him hell and think he’s not serious just because his medium for this is Whatsapp? Would you have preferred him not calling at all?
FYI, Whatsapp calls are not free of charge. They expend data which, of course, is bought with money.
