“Any man who smokes or keeps long beards is useless” — Lady sparks debate online
A lady has triggered widespread reactions on social media after making a blunt statement about how to identify what she described as a “useless man.”
In a video circulating online, the lady claimed that certain physical habits and appearances are enough to judge a man’s worth, insisting that her views were non-negotiable.

According to her, “Any man that smokes is a useless man,” adding that smoking alone is a red flag she believes women should never overlook.
She argued that regardless of a man’s financial status or social standing, smoking automatically disqualifies him from being taken seriously as a life partner.
The lady went further to include physical appearance in her assessment, stating that “any man that keeps long beards is also useless,” stressing that she does not care about cultural, religious, or personal reasons behind keeping beards.
She maintained that such men often hide behind excuses while lacking responsibility and direction.
Her comments have since ignited heated debates online, with many social media users pushing back against what they described as sweeping generalisations, while others criticised her tone and choice of words.
The discussion has reopened conversations around gender stereotypes, personal preferences, and the fine line between opinion and insult.
