Kenyan TikTok content creator Lydia Wanjiru has caused a stir online after sharing her unapologetic views about the kind of men she prefers. In a video posted to her platform, Lydia candidly revealed that she’s not attracted to men who completely avoid alcohol.
“If a man doesn’t take alcohol, he’s not my type kabisa,” she said bluntly. She made it clear that she’s not promoting excessive drinking or alcoholism, but she simply finds teetotalers strange. According to her, men who don’t drink often end up being overly controlling or displaying odd behaviours and fetishes.
Her comments quickly spread across social media, sparking a heated debate. While some users backed her opinion, saying lifestyle compatibility is important in a relationship, others felt her view was unfair and overly generalised.
Despite the mixed reactions, Lydia’s remarks have opened up wider conversations about dating standards and how personal preferences can differ. Her bold take is a reminder that everyone looks for different qualities in a partner—and while not everyone will agree, these preferences are valid in the context of individual experiences.
