say what? waarr..rough. OK, here we go- The thoughts of a Kenyan woman about Kenyan men:

"To be manly is having or denoting those good qualities traditionally associated with men such as courage and strength. So a man who acts the opposite of this I’d imagine is a wimp – Weak, feeble and cowardly. I saw something on the news this week that made me sad. A wimp (Allow me to use this word to denote his feeble message) representing the male population under the auspices of the Global Gender Empowerment Network was asking guys to stand up for themselves (presumably against women) by shaking our hands with their left hand, not smiling at us and not having physical relations with us. Does this sound very manly to you? Why would an organization that purports to empower men give them silly things to do that can only serve to emasculate them?


I’m tired of Kenyan men. I really am. A South African, Zimbabwean, Ghanaian, Nigerian, American, English and French guy have all told me that there is something very wrong with the average Kenyan guy. I agree. You make a million excuses for them until you interact with men of different cultures and then you understand – Houston, we have a problem! We have to breed this lot out of existence. In every society you have an evolutionary pattern that emerges for the species to propagate. If for example you live in a society where men do not have economic power and women are doing very well, men evolve to be very good looking and virile. If conversely society has plenty of successful men then women around them have extraordinary beauty. Look at Ethiopian or Rwandese women. Here, they will stop traffic. But in their countries their men will walk down the street and keep walking when a hottie walks past without a second glance. Why? Because they are a dime a dozen. The women are not economically empowered and to propagate, evolution conspires to make them more physically appealing to the males in their society. Getting a beautiful woman to marry and sire your kids is as easy as a gesture, so they evolve to have the edge.

Chicago is an example of a city that has a disproportionate number of hot guys. They are everywhere! Waiters, bellboys, random guys on the streets, hot, hot, hot! You know how your typical African American movie has the Blair Underwoods of this world? I saw at least 20 of those on an average day. When was the last time a guy in Nairobi turned your head? It just doesn’t happen. The women in Chicago meanwhile are quite random looking but they seem to have money. Can you see the pattern?

Enter Kenya and its peculiarity. Our men have no money. And they are not hot. Combine these two things and add insult to injury – They treat women like crap. So what exactly does one get out of the deal when it comes to dealing with Kenyan guys? Absolutely nothing! Are these the genes we want to pass on to our children? What happened to the days when men were men? The days of Dedan Kimanthi?Did he and his crew need a wimpish empowerment agenda when they fought to protect our lands and our honor?


They have been replaced by mediocre looking chaps who want our money and unimaginatively shake our hands, left handed, to protest against being marginalized in a society where they can’t make anything happen for themselves as a real man can and should! Oh, and they somehow, incredulously think that they will punish females by saying no to physical relations (As if we are lining up to ask!). Sigh. Let’s hook up with foreigners and protect our species. Yes ladies, feel free to breed this lot right out of existence!"

Your thoughts?

I agree am a wimp. Lifting her weight up like Artur Magaryan is too cumbersome to ask of me.

The Wazua ladies should speak freely here. Maybe there are things Kenyan chaps can style up on.

It's right up there : you got no money and you're not 'good looking'!

if the men are ugly, its coz they were born from ugly women...ni ajali ya maumbile

You'd be shocked as to how prevalent this argument has become. I've heard this from 4 different Nairobi women aged 20, 29, 33 and 38. They all dating or married to foreigners. They are not from needy backgrounds.

The ever increasing cosmopolitan nature of Nairobi is bearing on this discussion in a way..

So she travelled to Chicago and concluded that Chicago has good looking men and average looking women. Did she bother to do the other 1000+ world cities?

Why is she describing Kenyan men using that maendeleo ya wanaume lunatic yet there are very many other public figures that would better represent the median Kenyan man.

If she went to Ethiopia, she would be shocked at how ugly and pararad the average ethiopian woman is.

Poor writing, very poor writing

pthu!!!!

I would want to know the name of one man,if there is any (Preferably an ugly Kenyan man),who has ever told her she is beautiful....and if there is any,she should count herself lucky.
