Part 2: Challenges of a single Kenyan lady: Finding a man

Most of the ladies hoped to be married by 22. That’s a year after campus, a year in the work environment, and a year after spending their money however they wanted to. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Some got married before joining campus, others in or after campus, while others have zero interest in marriage. Then there is the other lot that is really interested in marriage but can’t seem to find the right man. Today we focus on the before meeting Mr. Right. Can we discuss the various kinds of men you are likely to meet before Mr. Right?

1. Insecure guy: he wants to know all your male friends. You cannot have a new male friend after you’ve started dating. If anything, lose all your male friends. Do not narrate of any experience with your male friends. Do not call them, do not pick their calls, else you’re cheating, so bye.

2. Cheater: a kind word for a total asshole. Totally dishonest, he will lie through the teeth with a straight face and without blinking. He gaslights like crazy, nothing you ever see is the truth. He is friends with your friends and looks honest so even among your friends, you are the problem.

3. Mr. Perfectionist: he sees no good thing. The dress is always too tight, too long, or too short, the food you cook always lacks something, you can’t drive your own car right and you can’t even clean your own house well enough. He will always find something wrong in what you do.

4. Manipulator: he has the same traits as the cheater. His actions or inactions are ways your fault. He did because you… he didn’t do because you… You told me that or did that because you think… He will make you think you’re crazy if not, make you really crazy.

5. The ‘snub’: he is conveniently busy with work. He could be online posting everywhere but responding to your call or text is where he draws the line. He will get back to you and act normal, why would you be angry over his 26 hours of silence?

6. Appearance guy: he is the perfect guy in the eyes of the crowd. He holds your hand when crossing the road. Pulls your chair, opens your door, takes you shopping, drives you home, is cool with your family and he could even introduce you to his friends and family. The only problem is that all your bills will be *2. He spends no penny, everything you do together, even a piece of “mutura” is on your bill.

7. ‘Mubaba’: of course, he has to feature. He sees you; he lets you be, he empowers you and makes your growth his business. Long story short, he does everything right. The only problem is that in most cases he is married and as old as your father.

We can end the analysis there, as we pray that the first 6 clusters of men learn something from the ‘mubaba’.
