Published on July 10, 2019, a city man's guide for women on how to navigate relationships with Nairobi's modern men has gone viral.

According to Andrew Kibe, a man from Nairobi, women need to understand what men really care about and what they don't in order to have a successful relationship.

Here are five things Nairobi's modern men, including the 'fck boy' and 'Ben 10 mega stars,' don't care about in a woman:

  • Her weight, as long as she's comfortable with herself
  • Her job, as men don't really care about a woman's career
  • Her money, as men believe they earn more than women
  • Her car, as a means of transportation is all that matters
  • Her fake hair, as men prefer natural beauty

Andrew's guide has sparked a conversation about the expectations of men and women in relationships, with some defending the boy child and others criticizing the guide for being insensitive.
