Now, me am exactly the opposite of every other good thing. Short, nerdy, yappy, but I do have a good Rolex guy and maybe if you won't fall in love with me you will fall for him 🤷. M23

Since it's the first relationship Wednesday, let me leave this here.

So, when people talk about long-term plans or relationships, they talk about a wedding, marriage, having children, and just living happily ever after, but my happily ever after looks a little different.

I never want to get married or have children. I do want a long-term exclusive relationship, though. Just shake hands on it, I guess..lol. I don't see myself sharing my space with anyone, let alone a man or child.

It also seems easier. I don't want to spend my days worrying about why my man is not yet back home at 12.. let everyone live their life. We just continue happily dating, have sleepovers, travel, and just chill.

Some might say why not just have a fwb, but I need the emotional connection and exclusivity. And I'm honestly not willing to compromise because I feel like I'm okay with staying alone and keeping my peace and freedom rather than doing something I never wanted in the first place and forever regretting it.

Please tell me it's not just me who wants this.

This is my first post. I don't know how these things work

I'm 27F, financially stable. I don't have much free time, but when I do, I go hiking. I can't say I'm a great cook lol , but I enjoy cooking a good hearty meal, especially on weekends.

I'm cheerful and warm, but most importantly honest and I expect you to be. I hate guessing and mind games. If something is bothering me or I need you to do something, I will just tell you. I don't expect you to read my mind, nor will I be reading yours. I don't have time for games.

Looking for a man who is:

\* around my age, or older

\* You don't have to be 6' tall haha, but it would be nice if you were taller than me (I'm 5'4)

\* mature

\* someone who knows what he wants and say it plainly

\* emotionally stable

\* honest

\* not threatened by a woman who thinks for herself

Will leave the rest for later, so if you think we might have a chance to build something real drop a comment or DM me Edit: I thought new accounts were allowed to post here 😅 Well, the oldest account I have is only one month old, and I don't want risk getting it banned too. If you're still interested drop your profile in a comment and I'll reach out. Sorry for the inconvenience

Hey guys

Recently started a remote role paying 1k USD/month from a company abroad, wired directly into my local bank account.

I'm trying to figure out how people here actually navigate this without running into trouble down the road.

A couple of specific questions for anyone doing remote/freelance work in UG:

Bank Access & Flagging: If you don't file with URA, do local banks (Stanbic, Equity, Absa, Centenary) actually flag regular foreign transfers around $1k and demand a TIN or source of funds, or do they only care about much larger sums? How much access does URA really have to personal accounts?

My main long-term goal is applying for international master's scholarships (Chevening, Mastercard Foundation, DAAD, etc.) and study visas. Do scholarship panels or embassy visa officers ever ask for a URA Tax Clearance Certificate, or do they only look at bank statements to see that funds are there and don't care much about tax compliance?

Would really appreciate any real-life experiences or advice from folks who've been doing this for a while. Thanks!

Take note of the above. Involve counsel. (Here at your service)

This is probably going to sound confusing to most of you but I’d rather say it in its rawest form than pretend to be looking for something I’m not.

I’m 29M I have good things going on in my life,Im often busy Monday to Friday.So over the past few months I’ve been making some significant changes in my life. One of those has been choosing a celibate lifestyle and intentionally recovering from patterns of sexual behavior that I no longer want to define me.

What I’ve come to realize is that while I’m intentionally stepping away from physical intimacy, I still have a need for emotional connection so this isn’t exactly a dating post but rather It’s me looking for genuine confidant.

I’m more of an introvert than an extrovert. I love anime, cartoons, movies and the occasional lunch, dinner, coffee or activities like zip lining and all that stuff.Most of the time I’m perfectly happy staying home but I don’t mind coming out,just not to bars.

I’m hoping to meet a beautiful woman who is well spoken and would be open to building a friendship without any expectation of physical intimacy which would aid my recovery journey.

I do want to be upfront that this is an unconventional request, and there are boundaries that come with it. Rather than making this post unnecessarily long, I’ll explain those in more detail if you decide to DM me. I believe it’s only fair that you know exactly what you’re signing up for before we invest time in getting to know each other.

I know this won’t make sense to everyone, and that’s okay but if you’re someone who values meaningful conversation, healthy boundaries, and simply enjoying another person’s company without needing it to become something more, I’d genuinely love to hear from you.

If you think we’d get along, feel free to send me a DM.

Some days can feel a little too quiet, and I’d love to meet someone special to share good moments with.

I’m looking for a genuine, intentional man who enjoys spending quality time together, exploring new places, enjoying nightlife, having deep conversations, and creating beautiful memories. Someone romantic, thoughtful, and who believes in showing care through actions the little things like surprises, flowers, and making someone feel valued.

I appreciate a man who is responsible, supportive, and ready to build a balanced partnership where both people bring their best.

No games, no hidden motives just a genuine connection with someone who knows what he wants. 22f

I love how everyone is conditioned to think there is some random person (of the other sex) born somewhere who is supposed to be their partner for life. It’s a cute thought/coping mechanism.

I’ve noticed a trend among my friends, mostly the females, where the ones who grew up in single parent households crave and idolize marriage, while the ones who grew up with both parents avoid the topic like the plague.

Boomer father’s bank loan approval was delayed, so naturally he called the bank in a beer rage and waged a one-sided name-dropping battle with the poor customer service person on the other side, then promptly picked a fight with boomer mom because she didn’t mind him turning on the TV. Yes, you’ve read that right.

“Stupid woman!”
“You women are very cunning and foolish!”
Majority of the children this man has raised/is raising are girls.

“You would be nothing without me! Look at all the money I’ve spent on you!”
“You people take and take, and you never give back! You’re worthless to me!”
He chose to impregnate multiple women on an uncertain financial standing.

“That’s why this and that has happened to your children!”
Sad story.
“Go back to your old husband!” A man that has been dead for years.

He later went on to piss in her flower pots right by the entrance of the house. Hopefully it rains tonight.

I don’t think marriage or that kind of relationship arrangement should be forced on everyone.

I also don’t think it’s a great idea for men and women to live in such close quarters for an extended time period, let alone raising children together.

Why does choosing a ‘life partner’ to nurture new generations with have to be based on how good the sex is?

You are probably going to be a good parent, breaking generational curses and whatnot, but forcing life on a bad marriage/relationship will definitely f*ck your kids up.

But hey, do you.
Everyone should do themselves. Or each other. Whatever.

Also what is it with boomers being so miserable all the time? Like I get it, the whole conditioning/trauma during their formative years, but damn… they hate celebrating good sh*t and they love complaining. And the distrust and victim mindset…. The negativity is highly contagious if you aren’t intentionally grounding and regulating.

Maybe voting should have an age limit as well.

Unfortunately the prices  in Africa are just as bad as the prices  in the USA/Europe.  In Dar Es Salaam realtors are trying to sell houses for $200,000 USD. There are nice parts of Africa I admit but there's way more parts of Africa that has poverty/slums. I honestly don't see a migration of people moving to Africa from the west or Europe because of the cost of living. Many people are sitting around everyday in many parts of Africa when they could be learning plumbing or construction or learning electrical work or farming (I could go on). Africa is what it is and there's plenty of people who don't want to be there if they have the money to live in  the west/Europe. Most of the continent of Africa lives in extreme poverty. the whole world  knows most of Africa has tons of  poverty. I see people on YouTube preaching that it's time for black people to come back to Africa but they're referring to Africa as "the trenches". How you referring to Africa as the trenches but want to price homes there like American bougie/fancy neighborhood prices. People in America pay high prices for homes in nice neighborhoods because they don't have to worry about lions jumping over their gates and eating their dogs, they have garbage trucks coming to collect their trash everyday...there's a million different things that separate America from Africa the reason prices/cost of living should not be  high at all  in Africa.  People live better on section 8 in the USA than they would in most of Africa. Corruption is something else in Africa. Most people in America are exterminating/killing rodents in their homes, in Africa because of the poverty there's many places where rats are being grilled to eat. Cmon now Africa will never be what people are trying to make it seem like it's becoming. It's going to take centuries for Africa to get on the USA level. I just watched a video on YouTube about a African country where women are getting raped all the time apparently. Like apparently it's normal to rape women in this specific country and also there is unprofessional circumcisions being done and plenty of babies are dying daily but you can buy a house there for $200,000 USD.  Nowhere in Africa should a home be $200,000 USD or let alone $30,000 USD because there's a million things that separate America and Africa. Africa governments need to have a reality check. Why would anyone want to spend USA prices to move to Africa when most of Africa is begging the USA and countries well off like the USA for food aid. Cmon now. Just saw a video on YouTube where Ibrahim Traore says that he wants Africans to start producing their own food, he said that in many parts of Africa people don't even work to produce their own food they are just begging the USA and other countries for aid. Oh don't get me started on how there is no food safety standards in Africa. Cmon now these people in Africa heads are gone if they think people are going to spend American prices to live in Africa. Literally there is no food safety standards in majority of Africa. You go to any restaurant in America and there is all type of inspections that have to be done on a yearly basis.  In hospitals there's all type of inspections that have to be done in the USA on a yearly basis. These people in Africa governments are charging American prices for the cost of living and Africa is not on America level. Again I know there's some parts of Africa that are trying to be like New York City or whatever like Addis Ababa but it's not a lot of countries and there's too many problems in Africa for anyone to leave the safety and stability of the USA just to go to Africa to pay America prices. It's not worth it. In America the trash and sewer systems are great, yes it floods in parts of America but the flooding doesn't last for long because the sewer system is great in America. America feeds its own citizens, plus 10 or more other countries on this planet by sending food aid all the time. America has homeless shelters and services to help disabled people. America has air conditioning in 95% of the country in restaurants, hospitals, gyms, shelters,I could go on...most of Africa is burning up from the heat. In America there's food pantries in every state giving away free food to people in need..in Africa people are watching others in Africa die from starvation. In America there's free government insurance and section 8 and plenty of people would rather live on that in the USA than to move to Africa where they see tons of people living in huts...their own people in Africa can't even keep their land or afford it or afford real houses. there's plenty of videos on YouTube showing people living in stick and mud hut with no ac or fan, they don't have a stove or a toilet or running water, In America there isn't many areas where those problems exist and if they do exist people are working to better the situations. there's not dozens of babies dying from circumcisions and female genital mutilation and in America if someone raped you you can get a rape kit done and put them in prison. Does Africa even have rape kits? Does africa have forensic scientist who examine crime scenes and do autopsies? In most of Africa the answer is no. So why the hell do the people on the content of Africa think they should be charging America/Europe prices for housing and food and necessities like furniture and clothing and cars. Oh when I went to Africa it was plenty of times I was outside pissing and shitting in front of everyone because it wasn't a decent bathroom around. In the USA there's bathrooms everywhere like in McDonald's , taco bell, burger king,hospitals,train stations,bus stations,airports,I could go on. Africa will never be on America's level if the continent ever gets there it will be centuries from now. Yes there's homeless people in America but they have clean drinking water, in Africa there's plenty of areas that don't have clean drinking water or they don't get water at all and are suffering from drought and famine. I saw a video about a woman farmer in Africa who was working in the fields and got bit by a snake why on the YouTube video there was no paramedics or emts that came to take her to the hospital. she sat on the ground for hours after she was bitten by a rattlesnake or a poisonous snake and she couldn't even get rushed to the hospital. I could go on but these politicians in Africa got it all messed up with the prices in Africa. not to mention most of the politicians in Africa are stealing tax money and money that's being sent to Africa to create jobs and help is being stolen by the politicians to buy Bentley's and Rolls Royce's and G wagons and they're balling with the stolen donations and watching many people in Africa suffer. ugh wtf. sorry if this is jumbled up, I'm typing so fast I'm so annoyed.

Is there any one that has been at Vanuatu , I would to know more abiut the country from a fellow Ugandan on what to expect.

Are people that join online dating platforms just too lonely, toxic irl or just explorers?

Like I've already seen people with everything and still can't get along with. Why would I be interested in a stranger whose character I have no idea about

Good morning
Hi stranger some liqour(waragi)

I am trying ,I pray it works. 29/M doctor by profession,am looking for a lady for intentional dating. Someone who is having their life together, feel free to reach out, thank you

So, I was looking through some recent demographic data from UBOS and the UN Population Division, and this stat hit me hard.

Around 85% to 86% of Uganda's entire current population was born after January 29, 1986. That means roughly 9 out of every 10 people walking around in Uganda today have literally never seen or known any other President or head of state in their entire lives.

When you break down the population numbers, it’s actually wild:

Median Age: 17.1 years old (second youngest population in the whole world!)
0–14 years: ~48%
15–24 years: ~20%
25–34 years: ~13%
35–39 years: ~4.5%

Total under 40 (born 1986 or later): ~85.5%

Nearly 80% of the country is under 35. For the vast majority of us, M7 isn't just a political figure, he's literally the only system, regime, and president we’ve ever existed under. Anyone who actually remembers life before 1986 is now part of a small ~14% minority in this country.

Just thought I’d drop this here because let that sink in for a second... what does it even mean for a country's mindset when almost the entire population has only known one leader for four decades?

What are your thoughts on this?

Make your post on the sub and you may just find someone to navigate this rocky world with.
Don't be shy to also forward the posts to someone not on Reddit you think might be what that person is looking for or vice versa.

Post guidelines:

1. State your age and sex

2. Description of yourself (upto you what you talk about e.g physical, hobbies)

3. What you're looking for.

4. Use the flair used in this post(suggestions for other flair is welcome)

That's it and you're good to go.

Like the title says, i'm hoping to find a walking community in busabala or create one if anyone is willing to join.

Hi guys, would you go back home in the village or rather hang on in the city right after job loss? By home I mean you parent's place.

M31. I made this account just for this.

I'm not desperately looking for a relationship coz I'm at a point in life where I'm happy with what I have, but I'd love to have more female friends in my circle. Someone to hang out with, grab a drink, smoke some shisha once in a while, or just explore Kampala together.

If we end up becoming close friends, great. If there's an instant connection and it turns into something more, I'm open to that too. But there's zero pressure and expectations.

On the bright side, if nothing else, we'll probably have a lot of fun discovering Kampala together.

EDIT: Forgot to mention - M4F. Also, Telegram user name is the same as here

28f, created this account just for this😂

I wouldn’t say my dating experience has been horrible but I do run a strict program and definitely not settling in this lifetime. I’m also not in the business of ‘teaching’ someone how to be a good partner.

Anyway the older I get I realise I want a wife too. Not necessarily a woman but whenever I hear a man describe a woman they want I find myself thinking ‘I want that too’ but like in a man lol. I’m looking for a man that is emotionally intelligent, a man who I will look forward to talk to at the end of the day because he is my peace, a good listener, a considerate man, believes in feminism, has his own place where he cooks, cleans and does his laundry himself, healthy relationship with parents, good conversation, open to therapy, good communication skills, family oriented, goal oriented. Preferably fit/healthy weight, above 5’6.

I posses all these qualities among others, I’m 5’3 though. If you have ALL these qualities too then we can get to talking about hobbies and if we can connect.

I feel like life has been too peaceful, I'm even gaining weight. Should I start dating again and get some relationship stress? Cry a bit and fail to eat because of someone's son😆

Any married people or those in serious relationships to "encourage" me
