In Kenya, there is a certain stereotype that paints Kikuyu men as unromantic. The generations-old typecast spreads a “lie” that no man from the ‘Nyumba ya Mumbi’ is good enough when it comes to romance. The cliché has been used for ages to create a belief that no Kikuyu man is ever bold enough to spend his hard-earned money to treat a lady “like the queen she is”.
On a personal level, my tribe not withstanding, I believe that I am the most romantic man to ever live in this God’s earth. I know how to spoil them ladies. I never let those century-old labels limit me from executing my mandate as a man. A true African man for that matter.
But what defines romance? Do we have a standard definition to it? Is it throwing big chunks of money on a date at a five-star hotel? Is it opening doors or pulling the chair for her? Is it allowing her to order fast, buying for her a fancy dress or lingerie or even being the best lover?
