The Standard Group Plc is a multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper print
operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The Standard Group is recognized as a
leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key influence in matters of national and international interest.
Relationship counsellor Sheila Wachira and columnist with the Standard's Eve Woman says women have an inescapable desire to outdo each other. If, say, a friend married a doctor, another woman would want to marry an engineer to get even. And this has led women to overlook otherwise eligible men, who are not necessarily in the blue-chip category.
Thus why, by the time their fantasies collides with realities on the ground, they are too old, and bachelors rarely care less about them. Why are beautiful women settling for No 2?
"Beautiful women love gold. And the wealthy men
have an appetite for beautiful women for validation and preservation
of social status."
Affluence, appetite for a higher life drives the beautiful women to settle for number 2. Therefore they can compromise on the jealousy from the first wife or the castigating society in exchange for a good life, medals and financial security.
The number of women is equal to that of men, why the apparent husband crisis? The ratio may be even, but women are too choosy.
