A former Kenyan beauty queen, Jennifer Waridi, has said she cannot date a man who earns below N3m.
The ex-Miss Tourism Lamu county, who is currently single and focused on her dreams, also said she can’t date a jobless man again.
Speaking to a journalist, Warida revealed that she once dated a man who was unemployed and ended up being the one footing his bills, including paying his rent.
Despite supporting him financially, the man later dumped her.
That experience taught her a valuable lesson and has shaped her current approach to relationships and life in general.
“I can’t date a jobless man. I tried that and learnt the hard way. I even paid his rent! That’s a scam, and I believe women should not accept that,” she emphasised.
She went on to add that financial stability is a must for any potential partner.
“I can only date a man who earns between KSh 300,000 and KSh 500,000. The cost of living is high. He must be able to pay rent, spoil me with the baby girl treatment, and of course, we can still save,” she added.
When asked to describe her ideal partner, Waridi said she is deeply attracted to intelligence and values a man who can challenge her mentally.
“I want a man who is smarter than I am. He should not feel intimidated by my big moves. He must be confident enough to challenge me,” she noted.
