Preparing for Miss Right

With the biological clock ticking and people not getting any younger, there comes a time when even the most stubborn of men who enjoy chasing after ladies, eventually tire. They opt to zero down on one till death rips them apart. So, he goes on the prowl for his missing rib.

 

Some men run out of steam chasing after those detoothing vixens with the uncanny ability to run a man’s pockets dry. Some are overwhelmed by those cold and lonely nights. While some have no choice but to throw in the towel and draw the curtains on bachelorhood. Besides, the bachelors’ club has been trimmed to size after all their friends and peers have got spouses.

 

Guys are up to scratch with the fact that hitting the mark with the suitable Miss Right is the equivalent of wrestling with Golola Moses. So many embark on rigorous preparations; go back to the drawing board, examine themselves and then iron out the battle-plans that will guarantee them success.

 

Some guys ditch their clubbing ways and begin making cameo appearances at high-end events. Their reason? Most of the single ladies at these events are serious and have marriage on their minds, unlike the girls back in the clubs, who are looking to have fun and not ready to settle down.

 

Richard Tusiime left me reeling with laughter when he equated the preparation process to a snake that is moulting; a guy has to shed off the old boyish ways and grow new manly ways. 

 

“Part of my preparations would involve shaping my character. As guys, we have to dispose of what is holding us back from becoming men. And the transition from a boy to a man calls for tough choices and resolutions. Responsibility is the first step in becoming a man,”  Tusiime said.

 

He added: “And by responsibility I mean getting a job, thinking of building a house, cutting on the hours you spend clubbing and hanging out, developing a saving culture, all of which depict maturity and self-providence.” 

 

Though hard to acknowledge, lots of guys agree with Tusiime that with the arrival of Miss Right, responsibility has to kick in. Frank Kivumbi says you have to start attending various functions and for a strong believer, church services are a must. These will give your roving eyes plenty of options. 

 

He adds that guys on the look-out for Miss Right strive to ensure that their reputation precedes them. Personally, I had to start singing in church to get noticed and it worked,” Robert Muhumuza Amooti says. As guys look to jump ship from bachelorhood to board the marriage ship, they undergo a lot of transformation and decision-making. 

 

You need to drive fear out of yourself. Convince yourself that you can walk over to that lady across the room and not embarrass yourself.
