Date My Family: Kabelo’s 80/20 rule is questionable

Kabelo may come across as a charming and charismatic gentleman but his theory on how to handle relationships may cost him a date or two.

This week’s episode of Date My Family was an enjoyable one and a perfect way to end this season of South Africa’s popular dating show.

The bachelor

Kabelo Mabasa is a hard-working event and advertising specialist who resides in Soshanguve, Pretoria. From what we gathered, Kabelo is a simple man, who is in search of a lovely lady who is educated and whom he can take on a date.

“My woman must be beautiful. She must also be educated, she can’t be sitting at home doing nothing. She must have a job,” says Kabelo.

Furaha wants an established man

The first family Kabelo meets is Furaha’s cousin and best friend. Furaha is described as a fun, loving and kind person who is very hard working.

Furaha is in search of a man with a strong character and someone who knows how to deal with their emotions.

The date starts off on a good note: the family is not only welcoming but they also ask relevant questions.

Without wasting any time, the family asks Kabelo when he was last in a relationship and to their surprise, Kabelo mentions that his last real relationship was in 2013.

“In the past seven years, I’ve had women, but those interactions were not serious.”

Kabelo says that although he’s single, he does get tenders and short courses here and there. Wait, what does that even mean?

Twitter had all sorts of ideas about his comment.

The awkward cousin moment

Kabelo made the date even more awkward when he asked Furaha’s cousin (Tshepho) if he hadn’t had a fling with her. Huh? That’s the cousin, dude!

“No way! That’s my cousin,” says Tshepo.

“Cousins can get up to no good!” says Kabelo.

The 80/20 rule

Tshepo asks Kabelo about his thoughts on cheating. Unfortunately, Kabelo’s answer is not direct, and it leads to his theory about the 80/20 rule.

“If you’re in a relationship with someone and they only give you 80 percent what’s left is the 20 percent which men usually get or want from other women. But, for me, if I find a woman who gives me my 80 percent then I will definitely not cheat!”

Kabelo sounds convincing up until he says that one person cannot be enough for him. This comment causes a lot of doubt for Furaha, who is now convinced that Kabelo is a cheater.

Kabelo doesn’t mind having someone who swings both ways

For the second date, we are introduced to Mbali, a free-spirited 25-year-old who enjoys having a great time. Mbali is in search of a tall guy with a light complexion.

However, things became more interesting when Mbali’s mom reveals that her daughter is bisexual – Kabelo’s eyes brighten up. The bachelor assures Mbali’s family that he has no problem with their daughter’s sexuality. If anything, this excites him even more.

Straight men love the idea of dating bisexual women. 🤣❤️ #DateMyFamily

The family assures Kabelo that even though she’s bisexual it doesn’t mean she will cheat on him with girls.

“Mbali does not have a prying eye – when in a relationship, she is in it for the long haul,” says a friend.

The only problem Kabelo has with Mbali is her love of dancing on tables. He doesn’t want to see his girl opening dance floors and being the centre of attention.

“Dancing on tables is such a turn-off. It’s inappropriate to have your wife dancing on tables.”

Female best friends are problematic

Deborah’s family represents her very well; however, things turn pear-shaped when Kabelo reveals that his best friend is female.

“We grew up together but now she’s married,” says Kabelo.

The best friend’s marriage brings in a sigh of relief for Deborah’s family as they consider a female best friend to be a bit problematic.

The family suddenly has a change of heart as they come to the realisation that sometimes being married does not mean the person isn’t unavailable.

“Married or not, they’re still available. Female best friends just blur the lines, Deborah will have to be careful,” says her friends.

The only downside about this date is that Kabelo shoots himself in the foot by mentioning the 80/20 rule again. A rule that he clearly does not fully understand.

I don't believe he understand the 80/20 rule😰 #DateMyFamilly pic.twitter.com/bVFiYBzX7m

Wait…

80/20 rule?

If you are 80% unhappy then you go find the 20% else where? #DateMyFamily #DateMyFamilly pic.twitter.com/GttOAGSM4v

Deborah is the one

Kabelo is clearly impressed by the picture they’ve painted of Deborah – so much so that he chooses to take her out on a date.

The bachelor likes that Deborah is a work in progress and believes that they both have the potential of growing together. The date is perfect, and both agree to keep in contact and work towards a second date.

Hopefully, Deborah will teach Kabelo what the 80/20 rule entails, because his understanding of it could potentially ruin the possibility of them being together for the long haul.
