    Commonly used phrases/words/statements by Kenyan Men in Kenya

    I am so far from being able to write a “Guide to Dating Kenyan Men in Kenya” but I’m getting there so don’t think for a second that I have forgotten. However, I think I am quite capable of writing about this because I have heard things that just amuse me.


    • You know there are many women who would sleep with me, but I chose you – Use this one when you are dealing with a slightly difficult woman. Apparently its supposed to make her feel special
    • I can do without sex – Use this to make it sound like you have had enough sex and now you are looking for a serious relationship.
    • I drive a _____________________[Try something along the side of a Benz]
    • I work at ____________________ [This as well as the one above should be mentioned within minutes of meeting said lady. It works even better if you have a business card to quickly flash out]

    SIDEBAR
    I had a collection of business cards, I tell you…… it was very entertaining….Got rid of them though.

    • Women in Nairobi are like _______ [insert negative word here], but there is something about you that just makes you__________ [Insert positive word[s] here] –Again, it’s supposedly the allure that you are looking for something permanent….. Don’t look at me... I don’t get it either

    Normal Conversation

    • My Guy, You Guy [or whatever variation with the word Guy] – This is while talking to your male friends. Sometimes you accidentally call a woman my guy. Use when trying to put what you think is an important point across
    • Chief, Boss – See above. Also as a greeting i.e. Sema Boss, What’s up Chief?


    Necessities

    • Please be a member of at least one Chama also known as Investment Club
    • Boys are key. It doesn’t matter whether the last time you talked to them was two years ago, those are YOUR BOYS and you mention them all the time, without actually stating their names. They are YOUR BOYS. i.e My boy just had a baby. My boy just did this or the other. My boys are eating nyama at XYZ
