Male Gold-Diggers On The Rise in Kenya

Since time in memorial women have always been programmed to pick a mate with wealth, and a high social standing.
In the cave man days, men with might represented success and so they were in high demand, but today it is all about how much a man is worth financially. And I ask why not? Men cannot give birth or look after the home, so they might as well be good for something and provide abundantly!
Over the years, men who can afford to lavish their women with a plash and glamorous life have been called everything from sugar daddy, to meal ticket, to walking, breathing ATM.
Enthusiastic
And despite the feminist revolution and career opportunities being made available for women, they still dream of marrying a rich and successful man. And anyone who tells you different is naïve or a liar. Come on, we are the so-called “weaker” sex, it is expected!
So when a woman is spotted roving the dating scene aggressively and purposefully hunting for a rich and successful fellow, it is seen as something almost normal. But lately, it seems the tables have turned, as a new trend seems to be rearing its ugly head. Men have chanukad!
Recently, I was asked on a date by a certain very enthusiastic younger man, and seeing as this ‘dating a younger man’ trend seems to have caught on, I decided to switch off my brain for a little while and try it. And shock on me when my younger man seemed to think I had a bank that gave out free loans, or that maybe I owned magic trees in my backyard that grew money I was willing to give to any man who proclaimed to love me.
Stories abound of women who have bought businesses, cars and even apartments for men, all in the name of love only to be ditched by the way side as soon as they got all that they wanted. Or found another unsuspecting woman to use as a financial upgrade. And it is not only the younger men who are not financially stable who are jumping on this ‘get a female meal ticket bandwagon’, educated and professional men have started to seek out women who can provide them with a more comfortable lifestyle, free loans and if possible, an early retirement plan.
These crop of men are intent on securing a cushy lifestyle, but they are not willing to work for it. They instead prefer to enjoy a woman’s money.
Sniff
They are very charming and suave, and are constantly prowling the dating scene looking for unsuspecting women who they think will give them the lifestyle they desire. And make no mistake about it, they are very dedicated and do their groundwork and know how to reel in a woman to upgrade their lifestyles.
They go hunting on social media (where people often give more information about themselves than they should), gyms, offices, bars in the suburbs, and hoity toity hot spots of Nairobi. They know exactly where to find their targets and can sniff loneliness and money a mile away, and know just how to package themselves to get what they want. So ladies be warned, and if your mama never taught you; never ever give a man money, borrow a loan for a man, or pay a man’s bills, it never works!
