"...I am not interested in praying for any man to love me and care for me because it is a form of ritual.

"When you are praying for someone to love and care for you, it is a form of ritual, because you are kind of going against someone else's freewill and freedom. Every human soul has freedom and free will in this life.

"...It may not work. Secondly, even if it would work, it might come back with punishment. So, don't be surprised when it starts to backfire..."

She further said she is not interested in having children and prefers to have a female child out of wedlock, but raises concern about the state of the world.

According to Stephanie, she does not want to bring a female child to a world where men abuse women. She said:

"Secondly, I am not interested in having kids. No. I don't wanna have kids and even if I want to have a kid, I will definitely want it to be outside marriage. I want to be a single mother and definitely to a daughter.

"But here is the catch: I love my unborn daughter so much that I will not like to bring her into this kind of world. I have not even figured out what is going on, where men abuse women, where women don't have a say. I don't want that kind of thing for my daughter.

"I love her so much that I will not bring her. Let her remain wherever she is...Don't tell me to pick the right partner...Somebody may love you today and tomorrow change. There is nothing that would happen to them..."

She further sent a message to women dating broke men.

"If you are a woman and you are dating a broke man, it does not count and once that man makes money and decides to leave you for another woman, nothing will happen to him. He will continue to live fine."
