GUY NEVER INTERACT WITH GIRLS BEFORE, GIVEN UP ON FINDING A GF

0

A guy shared how he was in an all boys school all his life and never had the opportunity to meet girls and now he has given up on finding a girlfriend.

Here is the story:

“I was in an all boys school all my life. So obviously never had the opportunity to meet girls. Then come to poly, I was still relatively looking the same as I was before (nerdy looking, overweight) so girls never showed interest anyway, I’ve had 3 friends who are girls who all shared the same sentiments that women in general don’t go for nice guys, but more of the opposite.

Since poly till now, I have changed. Look different. Dress different. Lost weight. Put myself out there on online dating apps, and literally nothing. Lack of matches. The matches I get, either don’t respond or they’re looking to get their egos boosted.

I keep reading all this stuff about other guys going on dates with women, and how they’re expected to pay for everything, or how men are supposed to pick up hints from women *if* they are interested. I just find that so childish that men are expected to pay for everything in a day and age that ‘people vouch for gender equality.’

Anyways, all my classes are online. Which means I still haven’t socialised / interacted with women.

I’ve completely given up. It’s just never enough as a man. You can be the best version of yourself, and you’ll still struggle. It’s not worth the trouble and stress.”

WOMAN FELL FROM HEIGHT ONTO SHELTERED WALKWAY @ BOON KENG HDB

A woman reportedly fell from height and landed onto the shelter of a walkway at the foot of a HDB block at Boon Keng on 14 January.

She later succumbed to her injuries and passed away.

Semi-conscious but succumbed to injuries

The SCDF said that they were alerted to the incident on 14 January at about 5.15pm and the woman was manually rescued by SCDF officers from the shelter’s roof.

The victim, a 33-year-old woman, was conveyed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital and was in a semi-conscious state upon arrival before succumbing to her injuries soon after.

CRAZY KUNGFU MAN WHO WAS TASED BY POLICE OFFICERS, JAILED 7 MONTHS

Wong Yew Tien, 42-years-old, pleaded guilty to one count of voluntarily causing hurt and one count of using criminal force to deter public servants from their duties. A third charge for public nuisance was also considered for his sentencing.

He was sentenced to 7 months imprisonment yesterday (14 January).

Wong was seen in a viral video last year challenging the police to a fight before being tasered by one of the officers and arrested.

What happened?

On 16 July 2021, Wong was found lying on the ground at Block 802 French Road at about 1.35pm, at LEFA de Cafe.

An ambulance was called and paramedics soon arrived and attached electrocardiogram probes to his chest, but he suddenly became violent and started shouting and throwing chairs.

The paramedics couldn’t control him and the police called – the police were informed that Wong was on drugs.

Wong then started challenging people at the coffeeshop to fight as three passers-by tried to subdue him while waiting for the police.

The police then arrived and the three witnesses then released Wong, who then got back on his feet and challenged one of the witnesses, a coffeeshop supervisor, to a fight.

He then threw a table and challenged a police officer to fight, charging at the policeman and challenging another police officer to fight as well.

Wong was told to calm down multiple times but then charged at a policewoman, who fended off his attack.

Wong then attacked the policeman and bruised his forearm, before eventually being subdued by the officers after they fired 2 taser shots at him.

Previous convictions

Wong had many convictions prior, with the earliest dating back to 1994 for theft. He was previously jailed 6 and a half years in 2000 as well as given 8 strokes of the cane for culpable homicide not amounting to murder with common intention.

He was also jailed 3 months in 2014 for also voluntarily causing hurt to deter a public servant from duty, the same offence he was charged with in the present.

He was also previously ordered to go to a drug rehabilitation centre and is presently under a drug rehab regime.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) said today (15 Jan) that more than 100,000 children between ages 5 to 11 have already received their first jab.

This amount equates to about 40% of primary school students since the exercise started on 27 December 2021.

Come Monday, students can start to receive their second jab.

Sibling walk-in arrangement

On this initiative, MOE mentioned that there are good take up rates, as more than 2,800 jabs were given from this initiative where siblings can walk in together to receive their jabs as long as they have a prior appointment from Mondays to Thursdays.

On average there is one walk-in to about five appointments made.

Special students registered for jabs

As for the take up rates at special schools, two in three children have already registered for their jabs.

Health Promotion Board staff have deployed their mobile vaccination teams to help out in 12 out of the 20 venues since Wednesday and all of them are specially trained and experienced in supporting children with special needs.

MOE ended of by saying that receiving jabs will help protect the children as well as those around them who are medically ineligible to receive their jabs.

They urged parents to register their children for the jabs if they are medically fit as soon as possible before the CNY period where many gatherings occur and also be prepared against the upcoming Omicron wave.
