Many men have been deceived by some
women’s beauty. This has made many people confirm an alleged assertion
that many beautiful women make bad wives. Here is why that is so!
While growing up as a kid, my old guy
often told me that whenever an old man offered a piece of advice, it was
not because he disliked you, but rather because he may have experienced
similar situations over and over again.
Those who listen to the advice often
turn out well, but those who don’t, end up living in misery. Of course
the losers, already on the downward spiral, will say: ‘let me live my
life when I am young’.
Let us do a little math. What percentage
of your youth is adult life? In my time it was 15-24 years, which is
why the society expected a woman to get married by 24.
Bi Mswafari couldn’t have been more
right when she said that it’s difficult for beautiful women to get
married nowadays, because most of them think they’re God’s gift to the
world.
Women with beautiful faces tend to
believe that they can leave a man sitting in a restaurant, and get
another before they even reach the door. True, this will happen, but are
you sure the next man who takes you will marry you? The answer is
usually no. In fact, you only gradually move from a wife material to a
social trophy.
Trust me, just like the English Premier League trophy, different players will fight to use a woman.
Bi Mswafari shocked the women folk with
her claim that when HIV/Aids first hit Kenya, it was the most beautiful
women who died first.
The kawaida ones were spared. In Kenya,
where wife inheritance was the norm in some communities, men died after
inheriting widows.
Wise old men usually remind young lads
of a saying that goes: ‘when choosing a wife, don’t go for a very
beautiful woman as she will kill you with stress before your days’.
The belief is that internal beauty is
what we should look for in a woman, but men say, albeit jokingly, that
they don’t have X-ray machines with which to tell the inner glow.
Men have been advised to do background
checks on a woman’s family and upbringing. This is particularly
important because while beauty fades, character is permanent.
I saw a number of beautiful women
growing up back in the day, and trust me, they never had character, and
today they live in misery. Some of them tried to reform, much later in
life, but age was not on their side.
Young women out there should know that beauty fades, and it’s not bad to be beautiful, but that is the gift God has given you.
Like any other gift, use it wisely. Remember, beauty is like a drug, it can harm you if you don’t control it.
Don’t let your beauty turn you into a laughing stock in old age.
