DATING A KENYAN

Honestly, relationships are complicated. Even when you think you have dated all kinds of guys, when you are so sure you have encountered every species… a new one comes up. And you know, there is a way the human species is complex. People like things that are different and weird, things that are not familiar to them so when you are a Ugandan and you say that you are dating a Kenyan naturally your Ugandan friends are going to be envious of you and excited to know what it is like, they want to know every little detail about the relationship.

Nobody really understands your situation until they go through it themselves. So, I am guessing anyone of another nationality other than Kenyan can relate or already know what I am going to say because you have been down that road or are still down that road. Kenyan men come off as timid and slow to approach, well I say this because I am used to my Ugandan men who are sharp and quick and go for what they want… (well, majority). By nature and I think because of the influence of the Kenyan culture, Kenyan men are not direct when trying to say something or portray something. They will travel mountains and valleys even when there is a straight path just to make their point.

Do you know how exhausting that is? Not every girl is patient and old fashioned. While you are there travelling mountains and valleys, a West African man will use the straight path and steal the girl from under your nose. And it is not even that we prefer the West African man, it is just that he maneuvered his way faster and got what he wanted while you were wasting time... doing God knows what, with a lot of petty talks and meaningless conversations. 

Well, I do not hate Kenyan men, they are actually fun to be with and easy to relate with but the fact that they are not straight forward…. is just a sleeping pill.
