A 40-year-old Kenyan businesswoman has set tongues wagging after opening up about her dating preferences in a video that quickly gained traction online.
In the clip, the entrepreneur was candid about the fact that she wants nothing to do with men her own age, saying that being approached by them makes her feel as though she is dating someone from a much older generation entirely.
Why Kenyan Woman Prefers Dating Younger Men
“I am a 40-year-old woman and I cannot stand men my age; if any of them approach me, it feels like I am dating an old man, a grandfather. So, I have decided to date Gen Z, but the problem is money; come buy my dresses, tops and skirts so I can make money,” she said in the video.
Her remarks made clear that while her preference leans firmly towards younger men, sustaining that lifestyle comes at a cost.
She was upfront about needing financial muscle to keep up, even appealing to viewers to support her clothing business so she could fund her social life.
The businesswoman also touched on her dietary habits during the clip, revealing she sticks strictly to oats for breakfast and would never be caught eating chapatis or mandazis.
Kenyans Share Mixed Reactions to Dating Gen Zs
The video drew a wave of reactions ranging from thoughtful analysis to outright mockery.
Pda Peter Dawo Abok:
“What the woman verbalises: dating 40-year-old men feels like dating a grandfather. What the woman is really experiencing but can’t say openly: 40-year old men are today more enlightened and no longer fund women lifestyles; they no longer date liabilities; they’re focused on building themselves. A round of applause for me, please.”
Johnlee Beef:
“So she wants to trade the ‘grandfather’ energy for someone who will ask her ‘What are we?’ every two weeks? Good luck.”
Muthoni Mwangi:
“Me watching nikiwa na chapo tatu kwa sahani.”
