The Shift: Education and Wealth in Modern Dating

This reflects a broader trend in modern relationships where financial independence and education are becoming more attractive qualities in women, and traditional roles are being reevaluated.
The scholar’s statement highlights the shifting dynamics in gender expectations, especially in urban centers like Nairobi, where both men and women face pressures to meet evolving societal standards in relationships​.
