She has many titles to her: a radio presenter, TV personality, VJ. Joey Muthengi is a lady full of life, vitality, optimism and realism.
She cannot tolerate ‘substandard' men
Joey is very categorical when it comes to choosing the man she would consider dating. She intimated: "I think Kenyan women are to blame at times for dating the wrong men – we don't set our standards as high as we should."
What are the standards and qualities men should possess according to the radio girl?
"Be sincere in your relationship. Don't just do the norm – if you are truly interested in this person, time is important; just put away your football for two hours, spend quality time with me when you are not on WhatsApp; it's about where focus is." she says
"I want to feel like those two hours we spent together, your focus was on me," she added.
She is single
A big shout to all men out there: Yippy! Joey is single.
She said: "I am the most single and very comfortable I have ever been; honestly I don't even know if I can do a relationship right now – I am so happy where I am."
But if she were to date, what would Joey detest?
"I wouldn't tolerate a man who snoops on me; I think that is why I am so single. I value my personal space and freedom."
"If I feel like you are encroaching in my space, then you are out; like I just can't date you! Why should you look through my phone anyway?" she questioned.
Joey prioritizes hygiene and self-drive qualities in a man
If you look at her nails, hair, eyebrows, dress and shoes; you'd note Joey is a clean spark. She says she wouldn't settle on a man who does less than the effort she puts on grooming herself.
"I wouldn't date a man whose hygiene is wanting; you got to shower, you got to groom yourself, you got to ensure you are all clean. If you are an adult, you should do adult things," said Joey.
And what has she got to offer in return? "If there's a genuine effort you are putting in, and you have a vision and a plan you are working on, I will appreciate you – in a couple of years, I want to be that person who stood by you."
She is a perfectionist
Joey does not settle for second position; her worst stand in everything she says is being the best.
"I am some sort of a control freak; when I see potential in something, I want to grow it – even at Hot 96 right now; I am coming in at a time I see potential."
"The reception at Hot 96 has been great; I came in at a time team building was that weekend, and I got to know people. So far so good; I have been paired with Coco; he is insane, but I really like him."
