I'd say he's offering to cover it in a positive light. In his shoes if I was offering to pay that kind of money out monthly I wouldn't lie about the reasons I would simply tell the girl truthfully what it is that motivates me whether that is the "alpha male" knowledge that when I come home from work, there'll be dinner on the table and the place will be clean and such or that when she's done with school she can get a better job and so it's best to stick it out. There is no point in lying about the reasons you don't care about paying all the bills, at the end of the day the girl is either gonna accept the offer and if she does it is highly likely that both the clean/tidy home with dinner cooked every night and her focusing on her school work and getting a better job will come of it or the girl is going to refuse the offer and get a job herself to contribute and the result may be that she gets a good grade but there will be too much going on in her life for the relationship to survive. (I know that can happen, my ex studied and she worked 2 jobs for a while, I myself worked 2 jobs too but didn't study. It killed our relationship because we hardly saw each other and when we did get time together she was too busy studying to spend actual time with me)
