Television host, Berla Mundi clarified the challenges young men confront in relationships by highlighting the rivalry they frequently encounter with older people who could be more financially secure.
Mundi brought attention to the strain placed on young males to live up to social norms and expectations in relationships, which makes their journey more difficult than that of women, who might have easier access to support.
Mundi discussed the difficulties that young men are facing in relationships during her visit on the New Day. She emphasized the mounting obstacles that these men confront.
She made the point that young males frequently lack a similar support system, in contrast to women who can ask for assistance from others with ease.
Mundi highlighted the particular difficulty faced by young men who must compete with older people, who may be better off financially, to satisfy the needs of their counterparts.
“At least for a woman, you know you can call someone, but when it’s a young man, he has no one to go to and there is also a burden of a girlfriend expecting so much from you .
“As a young man, you are competing with a 60-year-old man who probably can afford all the things a girl you age would like, meanwhile you are hoping that you and that girl can have a future together unfortunately the girl is aiming higher and expecting an iPhone 15 when you don’t have an iPhone 11 or 12.
So there is a lot of pressures on young men in relationships and it’s tough for them” She added.
Mundi provided insights into the complexities young men face, navigating the expectations of their girlfriends while striving for a shared future.
