As the holidays approach, city ladies have strangely shunned the melee of seemingly unambitious town men for their upcountry counterparts.
On face value, most city men are often considered a crop of intellectually upright, fashion-conscious millennials with a knack for flashy finer things often deemed as serenading.
For the long run, however, ladies have discovered that there is (or should be) more to a punctual dating anniversary reminders with one-timer candlelit dinners that leave serious dents in their men’s pockets.
With that in tow, here is why more city ladies are opting to settle down with upcountry men.
1. Hardworking factor
Most city men seem to be progressing well but underneath the flare, ladies have discovered that they lack the traditional hardworking factor since most are born into rich families in this information age allowing them to create a virtually accomplished life online.
The upcountry man, on the other side, has mastered the good art of diligently working hard to create proper grounding of strong wealth capable of lasting beyond the foreseeable future.
2. A good property grounding
Owing to their hardworking factor, most village men are considered well grounded with enough property while still possessing the technical know-how to acquire more.
Despite coming to town in search of more, most of them have some inherited property back home such as land, estates of sugar, coffee, tea or other plantations.
Their city counterparts, on the other hand, in as much as they are suave while joyriding on parental wealth, they can lose it all due to bad decisions and management skills.
3. They are loyal
Ladies have also noticed that upcountry men can be loyal especially because they always seem to have their priorities properly planned out.
A typical city dweller on the other, in an attempt to impress, is often engaged in questionable functions with strange acquaintances.
One of these city girls even went as far as claiming that most of these Nairobi-born men are players and don't know how to treat a woman.
4. They are physically strong
Due to the nature of life in the village, encompassing healthy food, hard physical work and leisure activities, most boys grow into naturally stronger men without the aid of workouts and gym.
Which girl wouldn't want a man taking charge of the heavy duties around the house and always dependable when it calls for it.
5. Spiritually concerned
With good upbringing from the village, including concerned parents and intertwined community as a whole, most upcountry men are often concerned with religious matters and throng places of worship.
City men, on the other hand, are not mostly concerned due to bad influences from the goings on of the capital.
6. Easy to Control
As much as it is deemed that the man is the head of the house, most ladies are increasinglyinterested in men who can make them feel powerful.
Some suggest that most of these upcountry men are naive and lack exposure to the fast-moving town life, hence, can easily be manipulated and controlled.
7. Good in House Chores
Ladies’ hearts are often melted by upcountry men since most are surprisingly good at doing much of the house chores and don't hesitate to assist.
Ladies, who wouldn't fall for a man who will occasionally offer to cook, clean or do dishes with you, or better still do it by himself especially when both of you are formally employed.
City men, however, owing to their wealthy upbringing, lack culinary skills and will often demand to have a house-help around, given that they have been brought up in such environments anyway.
8. Humble
Due to established criteria of upbringing in the village, most boys often turn out humble which is, in turn, translate to respect accorded to their ladies.
It has been said time and again that discipline in the villages is more observed since the community is involved in bringing up the boys, hence they end up acquiring more virtues.
City dwellers on their part are likely to be influenced by bad vices from the immoral city life given that most are brought up by house helps due to the busy schedules of their parents.
9. They settle down quickly
The courtship period of a city man is tediously long and marred with tales of repeated heartbreaks and forgiveness whereas upcountry men often settle down quickly.
For those from the villages, you know how important the aspect of marriage is. Who wants to keep getting the "utaoa lini (when will you settle down)" questions?
This being an African setting, settling the bridal price is considered a very important step in determining how much a man loves a woman as well as the financial preparedness of his future.
10. Good in bed
You all ladies will definitely agree with me when it comes to this. Based on a health fosterage of properly cooked indigenous foods in the village, most men are considered good in bed with a health breed of offsprings especially at a time when sperm count is drastically low more so among city dwellers.
Recent research showed that over-relying on inorganic foods such as processed food products such as meat and milk can hurt male fertility.
So how many of you ladies are getting themselves an upcountry man this weekend?
