Social media influencer Cassypool has sparked a heated debate with his opinion on whether men should send fare money to women above 25 years old. In a video shared online, he argued that women over the age of 25 should no longer expect men to pay for their transportation when visiting them, a view that goes against the common practice in Kenya where men often cover transport costs for women.
Cassypool explained that women aged 25 and below deserve to receive fare assistance, but once they reach 26, they should become financially independent enough to cover their own transport. He questioned why women over 25 continue to ask for fare, suggesting that it is unrealistic for men to keep paying for their transportation at that age.
He stated, “A woman who should be given fare or paid for a cab is 25 years and below. Once you turn 26, why are you still asking for fare?” According to him, a woman who respects herself will be able to pay her own way, which also shows respect and commitment to the relationship. Cassypool emphasized that a woman genuinely interested in a man would not ask for fare because that demonstrates seriousness and willingness to contribute to the relationship.
On the other side, he encouraged men to grow financially and avoid being seen as those who have to pay for a woman’s fare continuously. Cassypool believes that men should not feel obligated to cover such expenses for women who are old enough to be self-sufficient.
His views have ignited mixed reactions on social media. Some people supported Cassypool, agreeing that women over 25 should take responsibility for their own transport costs. Others strongly disagreed, arguing that age should not determine whether a woman deserves support or respect from a man. Some people noted that fare is a small amount and not worth making a big issue out of. They believe that if someone has invited you over or is interested in seeing you, paying for a small transport cost is part of the effort to maintain the relationship, regardless of age.
Comments ranged from calling Cassypool’s stance sensible to mocking it as outdated. Some users joked that women over 25 who ask for fare should be considered “aunties,” while others pointed out that love and respect should not be measured by who pays for what.
Beyond this debate, Cassypool also warned women to be cautious of Nigerian men in Kenya, accusing some of them of exploiting women through money and then abandoning them and their children. He alleged that certain Nigerian men are involved in illegal activities such as money laundering and warned women to be wary of such situations.
Overall, Cassypool’s opinion on fare payments has stirred a lively conversation about gender roles, financial independence, and respect in relationships, highlighting differing expectations and cultural norms around money and age.
