“Carry cash guys, it’s sexy,” relationship expert Matthew Hussey says.

Don’t be the man who needs to ask his date for a few hundred shillings for parking or to tip the waiter. The value of having cash in your pocket shows that you as a man will always be prepared and ready, no matter what the situation may be. You can take care of your woman. That’s sexy.

What’s not sexy? Waiting for a woman to help you figure out a problem. So before you jump to sexists comments, let us understand carrying cash, no matter how much or little the amount may be, demonstrates preparedness and a sense of responsibility, regardless of the gender.

In a non-gold digger kind-of-way, “do it in your means,” says Hussey. Whether it’s KSh 2,000 or KSh 20,000, having cash shows that you are always prepared.
