Muthoni Mukiri warns young women against relying on dating sites for financial support
Fomer Inooro news anchor and life coach Muthoni Mukiri has taken to social media to discourage young women from resorting to dating sites in pursuit of wealthy sponsors to fund their lifestyles.
In a candid video shared on her Instagram account, the mother of one delivered a strong message urging women to reconsider such choices.
“Most broke women don’t believe they are broke. They think they are dating the wrong guy,” Mukiri asserted in the video.
The life coach cautioned against flashy lifestyles funded by strangers, emphasizing that such women risk becoming subservient and susceptible to anything these individuals desire.
“You are jumping from one married man to another, engaging in activities on dating sites that go beyond bounds, attempting to make a living. Yet, you think the reason you are broke is because you have not met a wealthy man. The reason you are broke is because you are broke,” Mukiri explained.

She further pointed out the danger of relying on someone to rescue them financially
“If someone can come into your life and save you, they are doing everything for you. Then you start thinking they are giving you something you can’t give to yourself, and you start treating them like a god. They start doing whatever they want with your body and whatever they want to you.”
In September 2023, Muthoni also urged women in the dating scene to prioritise financial independence, emphasising that their finances should not be considered their boyfriend’s responsibility.
Muthoni argued that seeking money from one’s boyfriend could indicate a sense of entitlement and unrealistic expectations.
She added that assuming a boyfriend’s finances automatically become the woman’s upon entering a relationship often leads to disappointment and potential mistreatment.
“The issue isn’t about asking him; it’s about feeling entitled. The problem arises when you believe he owes you money. It is not his role to be your financial provider unless he willingly chooses to do so—it’s not his primary responsibility,” she emphasised.
Muthoni added, “If a man is providing for you without you being self-sufficient, it can also lead to mistreatment as he may feel he is offering something you cannot provide for yourself.”
