Dating older men has become the cool thing among many young career women and college girls.
The phenomenon itself has long existed before this generation, but the term ‘sponsor’ was introduced recently to refer to older men who date young women and give them money.
One does not necessarily have to have an intimate relationship with a girl for him to be considered a sponsor, but one automatically becomes a sponsor once he gives money to a girl for whatever reason, be it for rent, upkeep, hair, nails, rent, tuition or even partying.
In most cases, a sponsor is often someone’s husband, who is bound to leave the beneficiary for his family when all is said and done.
Those who have embraced the habit of having a sponsor get money and in return his dry bones get to creak under her caressing care, and he gets rejuvenated by her youthful warmth.
He can pay her rent in a decent apartment, buy her jewellery, take her places she only reads about in magazines or use his position to get her a job.
For years, men have mastered the art of seducing women. But the coin has been flipped and the woman is now the hunter.
Her script is simple. She targets her prey. Marks her territory. Waits for the right opportunity to pounce and voilà! The man is dancing to her tune. If the prey is well-loaded, then the woman will stick like glue. He will top the sponsors’ list.
Here are some of the few tricks women use:
Social media stalker
Dear men who post photos of the plush residences, expensive cars and check in every time you fly abroad, please know that a woman somewhere is watching you. And she will strike soon!
Shopping advice
There is nothing as attractive as a married man with a ring on his wedding finger shopping cluelessly with a 10-year-old daughter in the shopping cart. Women will approach such men and pretend to help him find the right size of diapers for the tois.
Sorry honey, I didn’t mean to hit you from behind
They target men driving German machines or those expensive guzzlers from Toyota. Daihatsu and Probox owners, you can relax. You are not the target audience.
Witch doctors can vuta mpenzi
This mostly happens if the man in question seems too attached to his first family. Women can also do this to the man so that he cannot stray.
Death has occurred of Mrs Sponsor
The search has widened past the churches, beyond the workplace and networking groups, bars to the graveside. They wittingly use a man’s vulnerability following the loss of his wife to win their way into marriage. It is advisable though not to get involved with a man whose wife died from a long illness, bravely borne.
The high end sponsor will make sure that everything in your life is catered for. He is more than generous and will take his women out to countries like Dubai and on top of it when he buys things for you he will list it in your name.
The only problem with such sponsors is the fact that they are super possessive, they tend to treat their women like property. If they pay rent they expect you to be there for them 24/7 and you should not date anyone at the same.
They are filthy rich but are mostly married but hardly ever home.
