A Meru woman’s recent experience with a younger admirer has brought laughter and sparked discussion about evolving relationship dynamics.
Faiza Karambu shared her story of being approached by a 25-year-old man who not only professed his interest but also made an unexpected request—asking her to send him fare to meet her.
Faiza revealed the amusing encounter during an interview, expressing both surprise and disbelief at the young man’s boldness.
Initially intrigued by his approach, she became hesitant when he asked for financial assistance to facilitate their meeting.
“I told him to ask his mother for the fare,” Faiza recounted humorously.
“He accused me of being rude, but I couldn’t understand how someone trying to pursue me could expect me to pay for his travel.”
When she asked the man his age, Faiza was further astonished to learn he was 25 years old.
With her own child nearing 20, the thought of dating someone so close in age to her child was laughable.
“I couldn’t help but laugh,” she said. “Imagine having a boyfriend nearly the same age as my son!”
Faiza believes the young man’s intentions were influenced by the assumption that she was wealthy, perhaps fitting the stereotype of a financially stable “auntie wa Harrier.”
However, she made it clear that she is not in a position to fund someone’s lifestyle, stating that if anything, she should be the one receiving fare.
Rather than dismissing him outright, Faiza offered the young man advice on responsible living.
She encouraged him to focus on building his own life and financial stability, emphasizing that reliance on older women for support is not sustainable.
Reflecting on her experience, Faiza humorously criticized the trend of younger men seeking financial stability through relationships with older women.
She noted that such arrangements can hinder personal growth, as they foster a dependence on others rather than self-reliance.
Her story, shared with laughter and insight, has resonated widely, sparking conversations about the changing dynamics in modern relationships.
