Being a bachelor comes with weird habits, and Nairobi bachelors are no exception.[Photo/mpasho.s3.amazonaws.com]
Love gadgets.
What is it about boys and their toys?
He can be 18 or 30; they’re all the same when it comes to gadgets.
You’ll often find Nairobi guys on Jumia, Cheki, among other top websites either shopping or admiring the long list of toys.
From the games, phones, TV sets to home theatres; go big or go home.
Fake it till you make it
All in the name of the big life.
Status is about buying things you don’t need with money you don’t have.
As they say, fake it till you make it.
Loans, credits, and Shylock facilitate their lifestyles.
It comes down to who has the biggest wheels and who rules the social calendar. And others just to fit, become the entourage.
The betting bug
What is life if not a gamble?
Betting, Mcheza, SportPesa, Charity Sweepstakes, and casinos; it’s only a gambling problem if you are losing.
Party on
No one looks back at their life and remembers the nights they got plenty of sleep.
Mondays at Tamasha, Tuesday at K1, Wednesday Baccus and Hypnotica, Thursday at K1, Friday at Kiza, Mercury, Sankara and Casablanca, Saturday for house parties, out of towns trips and watching football, rugby, polo and motorsports, Sunday it is always 1824.
Keeping up with the Men-dashians
The style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.
From Armani suits to local high-end pieces; they dress like they are going to see their worst enemy.
They speak Prada and every guy wants to be them.
Mr know it all
You can know your way around, know a thing or two, know the ropes, and know your stuff.
A know-it-all, though, is someone who puts on airs over his self-importance, especially a person whose instructive-type conversational style is meant to show off his superior knowledge.

Nairobi bachelors are ready to go on a moment’s notice. They visit travel sites like Jovago and Trip Advisor for discounted out of town trips: Watamu, Naivasha, Nanyuki, Mara to try out new things. From kayaking, skydiving, water rafting, bungee jumping, and hiking.
Hashtags everywhere
The Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr generation; it’s about finding your perfect match.
If they’re not talking about you, you’re not relevant. And what better way to get people talking than to become the king of social media? #hireme #likeme #findme #lookatme #watchme #listentome same script, different cast.
