Before you go throwing Shade on me,trade carefully because im not generalizing all Kenyan men and placing them in one basket. I have done my extensive soul searching research and with that I can write objectively about how it is to date a modern African man and specifically the 'Nairobian or Kenyan.
Going on a date with a Nairobian man can sometimes be depressing. The ideal date especially for Kenyan men is taking a lady for Nyama choma at a local pub. How boring! and worse still is when the music is so loud and there is a football match going on. Thank God for apps on our phones that entertain us through the entire carnivorous, chest thumping, beer (soda) sipping(sipping) men squealing like women when a team scores.
I mentioned to a guy that I would like to go to our local park for a picnic, discover the sites in Nairobi, we didn't even have to go out of town, there are so many sites that would amaze him if he was willing to just go out and explore the town. He was shocked that I wanted to do things out of the norm. I even proposed that he could make a meal at home and we could have a decent conversation but it was as if I had suggested or mentioned something so taboo. Me! go to the kitchen! was the response I got.
Sweetie, are you waiting by the car door for him to open it for you, You are hilarious girl, (open your own damn door! that's for the movies) When you expect the door to be opened for a you or letting a lady enter a lift first, that is just not something we are cultured to do. I don't even have to tell you about my experience, just go to a busy mall and see how many 'gentlemen' will stand and let a lady go through first. I was giggling with a girl friend about this..... ladies are now picking the men up for dates in our cars and dropping them home after dates....... but lets leave that to rest for now and move on.
Our men never give promises of the moon and the stars because making a commitment is something of the past. They are just afraid of being responsible, the number of women complaining about men who don't take up responsibilities is very worrying. You don't expect to lay with women and not have baby issues? check out dead beat Kenyans. Moving along.
Don't get me started with the dress code, you expect an all natural woman, no weave, Vaseline for makeup and long sunny dresses and yet when Anaconda or Booty comes out, who is the first person to forward it to the boys or groups. I'm confused whether to get an ass job or boob implants, hmm perhaps Vera had some insight on it, nahhh im kidding, [poor thing]. Let me not even begin with bedroom affairs, some men have perfected the art of written and spoken fantasies of what they can do, when it comes to do, you are left wandering in the dark, what the hell happened or was that it?
Flowers and chocolates are a thing of the past, with apps that can send you virtual flowers and sweet messages, darling don't hold your breathe for those. Maybe a bunch of spinach/sukumawiki or traditional veggies is what you might get when you are making a meal at least its a plant.
I have to appreciate the Nairobian men when it comes to dressing, their rides and homes. I haven't met an untidy man. They are on their A game when it comes to grooming and they smell delicious. Infact, I was once embarrassed by a man who had a better pedicure than I did,i noticed that men go to the palour more than us ladies for facials, waxing, Pedi's and mani's but that stops there for now.
Finally, return the key holder ladies. Some of our guys will propose, you get the ring and three babies down your still dating or in a relationship? Hmmmm, that is an open relationship and you are the convince, wake up and smell the coffee.
Worst thing is that we cant live without them! Gotta love the Nairobian Alpha man.
Keeping it 100%
