Men are mostly idiots, when it comes to women- the things we do in the name of love and in pursuit of women range from hilarious to deranged. Women know this, it's a weakness that most malicious women seek to exploit. No wonder prostitution is one of the oldest professions in the world!

Though not all women have to conjure plots and schemes of defrauding their men of money, there are those who still feel the need for engaging in such indulgences. Here are some of the ploys Kenyan women use to exploit money from their men:

1. "Lend me some money, I'll pay back"

This is actually the oldest and most practised trick in the book. I know most men can relate- she has no plans of paying back the borrowed amount. She's just playing coy and accommodating. Don't expect it back.

2. Damsel in distress

This is another well-known Kenyan trick employed by ladies. She might call you out of the blue sounding in distress, claiming to be stranded either in town or in 'shags' with no means of getting back to her place in time. She knows very well that men like to be heroes!

3. "I'm pregnant"

Now I know most guys tremble at the sound of these two words- especially married Kenyan men and irresponsible teenage boys. Ladies know it, though not all; most will state that they've no intentions of keeping it and would rather you send her money to get rid of it.

4. "I have already paid for the deposit"

Ladies will at times hint their commitment at purchasing a certain commodity, claiming that she's either covered the deposit from her own pocket or even half the amount. In reality, she has done no such thing and the remaining amount being demanded from you is actually the total amount required. 

This article doesn't in anyway reflect the behaviour of all Kenyan women, and sometimes they just might be telling the truth.
