Mistari - a curse that has befallen some men (part 1)


'Kurusha mistari' (translation - vybing/hitting on a chiq) is the order of the day in some of the circles that I am surrounded by. Day by day I see many more men, fall and rise just cause of the lines they use to hit on chiqs. There are some peeps I know, up and down like chickens, they can’t settle in one place...always looking for chiqs to hit on.

It is a good thing and at times a bad and/or disadvantageous thing to 'tupa mistari'. this is one thing that can get you in a lot of beef, especially for those guys who cant help it, they were wired to have the smooth talk in their mouths and at times it is confused to be 'rushaing mistari'

As men we suffer a lot when our talk is confused to be something else...the way chiqs push for the various harassment bills and forming various camps, I think as men we should have a diction mis-understandment bill whereby a lady is charged for mis-understanding our diction and we should seek the registration of the MAWE (Men Against Women Empowerment) association.


But I must say the problem isn’t all theirs (the ladies I mean), sometimes as men we start fires that we can not extinguish, we light fires and fuel them with a bottle of petroleum while still holding the bottle...of course we end up burning ourselves. We have got to be aware of what we say...cleverly coining our words. This reminds me of an incident...the other day while at church listening to a sermon, a pal...James...is preaching. So here is James, away with his sermon and he goes on to narrate a story. So he says,


"...you know, we single men that have moved out of our parents home have issues. We don’t enjoy the good food any more, the chapos and all so we have to make friends with the mama's who have vibandas..."


Now note a few things, when James said "...we single men..." he was just relating to the fact that guys who aren't dating and
aren't married and are living alone bring along consequensces. James was talking about food and the adverese effects when living alone, as far as he was concerned...but woe unto to him some ladies weren’t thinking on that line. James placed himself in a predicament; you see he did not realize until later on, that he was advertising himself in public to over 200 chiqs.
I always say kimbelembele (in-frontness) si kitu poa (is not a nice thing)! Never go ahead of yourself, but many times we fall into that trap. Mistari!!!...he he he...danger zone especially if you don’t know what you’re doing or better yet, not aware of what you are doing.

I am telling you as guys, wanting to come out looking like THE MAN...is a big mistake...at times, kujifanya we ndo mwanaume...isn’t the best of options. I think our ego plays a major role in this, what I mean is that mwanaume hujiamini sana and in simple terms a fish is caught by its mouth (literally). It starts innocently by a few words and being ‘the gentleman’ that you are charming and all. The lady folks too have a way of putting their guards up such that we put a lot of effort into winning over their trust, and then once they are won over the male folk have already lost interest.

Truly the thrill is in the chase and not necessarily the capture

Its amazing how these things tie the man up...the fact that you tupad those mistari's and the lady falls real hard, you are bound for life, but rarely do men realise that. Be careful of what comes out of your mouth kambla ujiweke ndani ya box!
