The Tujuane chic
is absolutely right. I have said it. I am not kidding and those who don’t like her
can go and lodge a complaint at the UN.
For those still
in darkness, Tujuane is a programme on KTN that brings together people who
would like to hook-up. It’s a match-making show testing the compatibility of
two people in their first blind date.
The furore- banging of tables and
rage blowing in the social sites is because of one lovely Susan. Real name
Mirfat Musa who ekes a living at Imagine Pictures. Her supposed victim is one ‘Eastlando’
dude – George Gitau who is a director of photography. Here are reasons why
Suzzie (Emphasis for keeping it real) was right and Gitau was off the tangent.
By the way as I write this defense
for Susan, a fan page created because of her forthrightness has 9,797 likes. It’s
called ‘Kenyans Against Susan - #tujuane.’ Unfortunately, I also liked it.
However, back to real business.
First, George slips-up by asking his
catch what to order for her. How does a dude start something like ‘Can I…?’ to
girl whose body language reads: “Atawesmake {Will he manage?} I am no Chris
Hart, Silas Nyanchwani or Jackson Biko but just tell the girl simply with
subtle command: ‘We are having fries. It has lovely ingredients.’ At least
convince the girl your choice is the right one. That’s what being in control
mean. From the word go, she should be made aware you are steering the date.
Second, Susan tests Gitau with a
mild question that should have favored him but he develops cold feet. “Do I
look like eating fries?” Why did Gitau not apply ‘hood’ humor to satirize that
remark, huh? I would have told Suzzie: “Yea. But mostly, you look sweeter than the
moon.” The point is if she intends to make you look a dumb ass because you eat
fries, ridicule what she eats too. Tit for tat is a fair game.
Third, accepting to take what the
lady has suggested was how Gitau sold out. What the fuck? Because she wants let’s
say Fried meat and rice then you settle for that. That’s where the dude moved
from a frying pan to fire. Susan pulled a Nyeri on him. Curling his tail and agreeing
to play by her rules/choices was a big disgrace to the male fraternity. You
double-crossed.
Fourth, unless this Tujuane show was
choreographed I don’t know why Gitau could not have jumped on the ‘Julie
Gichuru’ mention. If both guys do photography, then they are closer to the
media profession. Gitau had a chance to discuss the amiable personality of Julie.
Her Sunday Live programme. At least to relax and let this lady understand you
are well versed on current issues. However, Gitau went there with a fixed
mindset –formulaic rules- read in gutter press- Firimbi -or worse- from friends who are single. God have mercy!
There is no offense in getting opinion from pals- I do most of the time- or
even read those newspaper columns and relationship blogs but approaching the situation
without flexibility is tantamount to silliness. Gitau dug his own grave and I
will not shed a tear for his humiliation.
Fifth, this sweater jibe is where
Susan caught Gitau flat-footed. However, I must commend him for returning ‘fire’
with ‘fire’ by asking about her lightness and bright colors. Again, the guy had
a chance to play the ball to his advantage. Tell her sharp people wear
red-stripped sweaters especially in the evening. Research says so. She will not
question because truth be told, Susan was daft from the onset.
Sixth, I am diva declaration showed
clearly that Gitau is a wimp. A baby sitter. “Oh, so you are a diva, you must
be into opera music very much ama?” You continue:“Though I listen to Luciano
Pavarotti- that Italian guy. Bad he passed on. I miss him a little.” Then you
pose bravely: “You know him.” She says no. “But you are into divas; I also
thought you would know Pavarotti. So famous.” Susan would have been put into
her corner. But Gitau let the girl scare his mind with her ‘Diva’ stance. Divas
informally are idiotic girls obsessed with their materialistic lives- into
Nicki Minaj a lot- overwhelm the rest of humanity with their photos on social
networks how they have perfect lives- love fencing… nada nada nada.
Seventh, when Susan asked Gitau: “Are
you shy?” I knew the dude’s goose had been skinned, boiled, cooked and finally
served. If a lady can read through me to that extent then I scatter. All along,
she was the one in charge of the date. Gitau had asked for a lift in the blind
date.
A dude stands a ‘live interview’ of
his own errors from a girl who knows what she wants then we condemn the girl? Are
we all finally heading to Mathari Mental Hospital? Gitau deserved what he got.
Susan knew what she wanted, Gitau was clueless. Soiling the name of ‘hustlers’
for no apparent reason.
My vote for Mirfat ‘Susan’ Musa. I
am going to unlike now!
Very nice summary of the crazy episode. I dont know what I should have done with camera eyes lurking from every corner. As a man who sweats alot, I must have sweated a pale of water.
ReplyDeleteI think there was a problem with both of them. The lady came to destroy the man, but the man came looking for love. Too bad for him he did not find it.
Next time, we need Amol on Gitau's seat.
Having been in such a situation myself, often you can be baffled by the stupidity of some women. I liked how he played the lame duck letting her expose the levels of divaness(read stupery)but all in all it was a reflection of what an average man undergoes every so often.
ReplyDeleteTruth be told women are so empowered both in bed and socially that you don't just meet a woman in Mercury and bring your Eastlands stupery there...Eeither you play by her rules or show balls...I'ma pick this discussion from here and blog it, may be tomorrow or Thursday.
I like making my own rules so I don't know what about blind dates and all that kind of shit. Why do people go to blind dates? Is it some kind of a game. That dude is retarded though, I think I would have scored some serious shots. Who knows, I may have even convinced her to come to my hood.. first day. It happens, it can be made to happen. For me if I don't like you and we are on a blind date, I'd really force you to use your brain until you realize how little you've learnt in your twenty something years. I make my own rules, I follow them and if I don't like them, I change them... I'd have changed them here and scored a couple of shots
