Students taking courses perceived to be ‘tough’ are the hottest things in town for women looking for superior genes, Campus Vibe can reveal.
The sight of cars parking outside campus ladies’ hostels with the finest lasses in campus the chasing after moneybags seems to have given way to this new craze, where women target young men with brains.
Well, it is no longer a passing fad that men undertaking difficult and ‘intellect arousing’ courses are the precious targets.
Kimaru, a fifth-year engineering student from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology told Campus Vibe that he found himself in the radar of an older chick just because she considered him intellectually gifted.
“The woman was six years older than me, around 29, and you could see she was desperate. Well, she gave me pocket money, enough to make me forget Helb loan and money from my folks,” said Kimaru.
“We used to spend weekends at her house, but after she told me she was pregnant, she suddenly moved houses,” said Kamau who added that the woman was simply interested in getting his baby. Kimaru also revealed to Campus Vibe that her ‘girlfriend’ would tag along another chick, supposedly her friend, to her dates whenever she came to campus. In fact, Kimaru says, his roommate ended up ‘knowing’ the other woman. But unlike Kimaru, his roommate ended up marrying her girlfriend.
“I can’t mention his name because I don’t have his permission, but they are married,” said Kamau.
The same thing happens in most universities. For instance, engineering, architecture and medical students at Moi, Maseno and Egerton have for a long time been prime targets of hawk-eyed women. Psychologist Ken Munyua says: “This belief is mythical. It’s like saying that a child born in Turkana cannot be an engineer. Education and genes are two different things,” he added.
