On a normal coffee meet with my girls, you will find us bashing men for the various things they do, or have failed to do. Today, I actually want to give men some credit, especially African men of the Kenyan origin.
Men are amazingly simple.
Oh yes they are, and the men in the house feel free to correct me on this one.
- A regular men needs you to just be clean, be able to hold an intelligent convo, feed him something edible and give him good sex regularly and he’s good to go. I always overcompensated (I don’t know for what), and would go out to make my men 4 course dinners and what not, until the day I realised that it doesn’t really matter, few men are selective about food, if you measure up in the other areas. But once in a while, you may do the 4 course thing.
- Men don’t mind if you don’t call every hour to let them know you’re thinking about them, as long as you’re ok on point 1 above.
- Men rarely sulk. If he’s sulking, about work and whatever, you don’t need to draw it out of him, just apply point 1 above.
- Men like easy going. Don’t try too hard. Be yourself. What can be simpler than that? Don’t sweat small stuff. It’s ok to look good, but don’t try too hard just because he’s asked you to have ice cream with him. He’ll notice you’ve gone out of your way, be normal. Most guys like normal women, not super women.
- Men understand stuff straight up. I think this is the most adorable trait about guys. Say it like it is, and the man will get it as said.
- Most men won’t need elaborate gifts on valentines day or christmas. A dinner treat (food), beer, or alvaro and good loving will do. You can throw on some good lingerie, but I’ve realised even this doesn’t matter.
- Men want to be given peace. Don’t nag or make noise at them, and you’re good to go.
If you have a man, celebrate him this weekend. If you’re a singlet like me, pray that God sends your way one of the simpler ones.
Where have you seen the eye candy below? He’s in House (the series) season 4 and is our very own Edi Gathegi. Some good acting he has going, and not too bad on the eyes either. Love his eyes!

Someone tell them to do the kissing before we apply lip gloss! Or do they ruin it deliberately? Lol.

You could be talking about me. I relate especially to point 1.
