TRANSITIONING BOYS INTO RESPONSIBLE MEN

@RitableP Modern dynamics,

Parents have forgotten their role of parenting and are focusing on money and themselves. The world is becoming ill day by day because of mistakes done by our parents.

Absent fathers and misinterpretation of women empowerment.

Men, be ruthless in the dating market.

If you do, the only women you will turn off is masculine women.

It is your duty to be rational, and truthful.

Lies are for boys, and women.

They lie all the time, to avoid being accountable.

Truth, no matter how painful, should be told.

Why do I feel like the current obsession with mental health is just a feature of a weak society?

People can't take anything tough. Everything they go through affects their mental health.
Was there a thing as mental health 100 years ago?
It's just an excuse for most people to not develop thick skin, something to blame for not enduring hardness.

By the way, many Ugandans in the diaspora believe in Mr. @GODFREY_Kutesa’s methods of parenting. Very many! This diaspora has spoiled kids ahhh

I sent UGX 400,000 to the wrong number. I realised my mistake several minutes later when the person who was supposed to receive the money did not send the customary message confirming receipt. I called. You sent it to the wrong number, she told me. I immediately rang the accidental beneficiary.

Instead of finding a frightened person wondering why UGX 400,000 had mysteriously landed on her phone, I found somebody whose theology had already processed the transaction. She told me that the previous night she had spent hours in church praying to God for a miracle of UGX 500,000. Then morning arrived, and providence, apparently using MTN Mobile Money and suffering a minor accounting error, deposited UGX 400,000 into her account.

She therefore had a complaint. Her miracle was UGX 100,000 short. Instead of returning my money, she asked me to be merciful and send the missing UGX 100,000 so that God’s promise could be fulfilled in full. I tried to explain that this was not divine intervention. It was human error. She disagreed and told me her daughter had not gone to school because she could not pay the fees. She asked me to stop looking at the transaction through the eyes of a man who had lost UGX 400,000 and examine it through the eyes of a mother who had spent the previous night petitioning heaven for UGX 500,000.

By the time she finished presenting her case, I had somehow moved from complainant to defendant. Worse, I was beginning to feel guilty for underpaying a miracle I had never contracted to perform. Bantumwe, I sent the remaining UGX 100,000 and to this day, I suspect that woman bewitched me. There is no satisfactory economic explanation for discovering that you have accidentally lost UGX 400,000 and responding to the emergency by voluntarily losing another UGX 100,000. She told me she was deep in Bududa. Landslides had carried away her home and crops. She also told me that relief items meant for people like her had been stolen, naming @AnitahAmong and Agnes Nandutu in her account of the mabaati affair.

By then, however, I was no longer conducting due diligence. I had already been appointed Minister of Finance in her miracle government. I had intended to recover UGX 400,000 but I ended the telephone call having paid the full UGX 500,000 she had asked God for. The most disturbing part is that somewhere deep in Bududa, that woman probably went back to church and testified that prayer works. And technically, she has evidence.

It is easier and better to start a new family than to mend a broken marriage.

You may be wondering why your plans aren't coming to fruition despite your efforts.

It is because beneath your bosom is a dirty heart and a burning stomach whenever other people succeed.

Don't blame other people for your stagnation.

You are a witch.

What you need:

- A space, your rural farm

- A simple structure

- Water

- Routine

- Order

- Discipline

How many months to maturity?

- 3 months to 6 months

But what do young men do nowadays?

- Masturbate

- Bet

- Buy Pizza and chips

- Yell for politicians

- Entertain random hoodrats online

- Beg for handouts from useless politicians while insulting those he does not agree with.

Then what next?

- They come to social media crying about joblessness, depression and brokenness.

If you think the world will sympathize with you, then you will wait forever.

Simply having a diploma or degree does not make you a special man.

The world wants to see your value and results, not your tears.

Nobody cares.

Change or Perish.

[Eric @amerix]

Protect your reputation.

As a man, your reputation is your key to opportunities.

If your reputation is under siege due to overwhelming allegations,

Don't repudiate the allegations, you will dig deeper.

Keep silent, and let your accusers fight the validity of the allegations.

[Eric @amerix]

Men,

Here is the SIMP CALCULATOR;

You need two ratios:

Reply Rate = Texts she replied to / Texts you sent

Date Rate = Times she showed up / Times you asked

Then average them:

Score = (Reply Rate + Date Rate) / 2

Example. You sent 80 texts. She replied to 2.

You asked her out 10 times. She came 0 times.

Reply Rate = 2/80 = 0.025

Date Rate = 0/10 = 0

Score = (0.025 + 0) / 2 = 0.0125

YOU ARE SIMPING.

The thresholds:

Score above 0.5: She likes you.

Score 0.2 to 0.5: Lukewarm. Proceed with caution.

Score below 0.2: Cut your losses.

The math is not brutal, but the reality was already brutal. The math just made the brutality become visible.

A woman who likes you does not need 80 texts. She isn't avoiding your calls by accident, and she isn't busy every weekend you ask.

She doesn't like you.

STOP SIMPING.
