In another post on X by @TheHypeChannel, Shamiso and Londie London became a hot topic after they shared their experiences with love bombing. Both of the hosts were complaining about how often men love bomb them with gifts. Shamiso said that she dated a man who initially spoiled her, but then, once they were in a relationship, it all stopped, and he would ask her for money. Londie London agreed that there are some men who are only trying to get them under the guise of material spoils. Shamiso referred to the dating tactic as many having a recruitment budget. She said:

"They have money to get you but they don't have the money to keep you."

@mpho_khumalo1 agreed with Shamiso:

"This is so true. And it seems to be a thing lately. The “down time” becomes extended, and sometimes he’s not even down; that’s just who he is. Whatever he was doing in the beginning was literally just on “recruitment budget”."

@Nalzzy remarked:

"I’m a believer in slow & steady. No love bombing has ever worked out for me. You soon realise why they came in so hot and fast. They’re never my kinda people, those ones."

@Strictlybettin3 was stunned:

"Women claim to know so much about men, yet they get bamboozled by the same behaviour."

@Vhoyde argued:

"Lovebombing works the majority of the time, and it always will. Because women like things and they always will."
