Men, Please Pay Attention To Detail.

By Arthur Katabalwa

My dear friend Dixon Okello is at it yet again.http://xclusive.co.ug/2015/04/27/okello-column-catch-cheating-wife-hire-private-investigators/ And whereas I have tried not to dispute him (indeed on a number of occasions I have been on his side), we both lie at polar ends with our attitudes to and interpretations of sexual trends.

You see, unlike Dixon, I do not believe that the moral propriety of society lies between a woman's legs. In the article he writes online, his assertions about the way women cheat are at baseless and at worst complete balderdash. Men, unlike women can have sex as a "contact sport". No feelings involved. It is all about "conquest" if one goes back to the basics of animalistic instinct. Yet with women, the vast majority will not have a "rumble in the jungle" without some kind of emotional attachment. That doesn't mean they don't. In fact yours truly has had a number of indecent proposals. And I have deduced that these are purely for no strings attached.

In the article, Dixon asserts that "men are the lamest liars(sic) ". Does he have proof of that or is it just conjecture? And if we are liars why do we do so? A friend of mine, Brian, has said to me that our options are spared in as so far as we may not get caught. And if we were to get caught then those options are severely curtailed. But maybe, and just maybe, if we were caught and the consequences are of a nature where we still have cojones of which to speak of after, then our options would become limitless in my view. If you have tener cojones to play about then woe betide you. But does that apply to women? I can't definitively say so but I can imagine so.

"Many are now discovering that the kids they have been toiling for are not theirs after all." Dixon writes in the article. Let me make this clear to all my male folk out there. Unless the child looks like you without doubt or proven using DNA, you will never ever with any certainty say those kids are yours. So just toil away. 

There is a thing called the midlife crisis. Ask me: I have gone through it and men tend to do the most stupid things they can ever do during. Many seem to be on self destruct. And this midlife crisis thing ruins marriages. It ruins life. Many of my contemporaries in the UK are aware of this. I don't know if they do in Uganda. But when that period hits you, it is like nothing you have ever known before. One needs a rational mind to correct them. But at times if that mind isn't available, one is left to their own devices.  There is a man in Dixons' story who is caught by his wife with a pair of thongs in his pockets and his explanation is the midlife crisis. She doesn't believe him.... Well, I know of a few men who find it such a turn on wearing their ladies pants. 

Dixon advises us to take our time off The Premier league. Probably yes. Pay your lady some attention. Show her some TLC but not exclusively to see what she brings home just in case that's what she buys the other man. I think if you made a fuss over what she brings you, she will decide to take her heart off that other man (if he existed)

He further advises "Don’t ever let your spouse buy you cologne. Ever! They tend to buy for you whatever brands their little toy-boys use so you can never catch them with a foreign fragrance." Never ever? Ever? He continues "Smell your spouse constantly!" This is bordering on lunacy. What if it is an innocent smell?  Dixon asks: "Why else do you think you get a peck when you walk in the front door?" If I don't get a peck when I get through the door I know I am in the dog house. I have done something wrong. And the worst thing he advises is; "Check her handbag" Please guys, never, ever do that. That is personal space. I have a drawer in my house which basically has rubbish in it like old keys and stuff. Nothing important. I don't want anyone rummaging through it. That is the same with a ladies handbag. Men; don't look through them!!  Coat pockets and glove compartments? What if you found a pack full of condoms? Then what will you do? Accuse her of cheating? That is circumstantial. Will you then be able to explain to her that hidden computer file full of smut? 

Please read the rest of the article but be sure not to go overboard like Dixon says. If you do not have the confidence to let your woman be her own, go to overnight prayers and letting her be, knowing that her gym instructor will look better than you (talking of OUR gym instructors......The female ones!) then there is a massive problem. If she comes home with a sculptured body make sure you up your game and stop looking like a bad beer advert.
