• Mesach Semakula told fans that being pretty isn’t enough because modern men want partners who actually bring something to the table.
• The singer claimed men are way more likely to help out women who show they can turn a little bit of cash into a bigger success story.
• Semakula warned that relying totally on a guy is a recipe for disaster since even the most generous men will eventually get tired.

Musician Mesach Semakula has urged unmarried women and those without partners to work hard, become financially independent and build their personal value, saying beauty alone is no longer enough to sustain a relationship.

Speaking in an interview with local content creators, the singer observed that many men today are increasingly looking for partners who can contribute meaningfully to their lives rather than depend entirely on them financially.

According to Semakula, a woman’s ability to work, support herself and make productive use of the opportunities available to her can make her a more valuable partner, regardless of how much money she earns.

“However beautiful a woman may be, beauty alone is not enough. A man also wants someone who can add value to his life and not become an additional burden,” Semakula said.

He explained that men are more willing to support women when they see that the assistance given can be used productively to improve their circumstances. In his view, a woman who demonstrates initiative and the ability to grow what she receives inspires greater confidence than one who depends entirely on her partner.

“It is easier to give a woman something when you know she can multiply it. But when everything depends on you, you can eventually get tired,” he noted.

Semakula’s remarks come amid changing expectations in relationships, with some couples increasingly embracing shared financial responsibilities rather than leaving one partner to shoulder the entire burden.

He also pointed out that economic pressures have made it difficult for many men to meet every financial need, making self-reliance an increasingly important quality in relationships.

The singer encouraged young women to invest in themselves, pursue opportunities and develop their skills, emphasising that financial independence does not necessarily mean earning a lot of money.

Instead, he suggested that women should focus on making progress with the resources available to them, building confidence and becoming partners who contribute positively to their relationships.
