I honestly don't like Singaporean men very much. They bore me. The majority are so homophobic that they wouldn't even appreciate Sacha Baron Cohen's alter ego, Bruno! Or maybe, it could simply be insecurity arising from the fact that they have on multiple occasions unwittingly exposed themselves to Bruno. Don't know what I'm talking about?
Yet, I do need to credit Singaporean men with a couple of things.
1) Singaporean men are rock steady. Because of the risk-adverse nature of the well-educated, average Singaporean male, he is effectively the financial pillar for any woman and tai-tai's-to-be. Never mind the financial turmoil, he's probably got it all planned and sorted somewhat.
2) Singaporean men are steadfast, loyal and faithful to a cause. Foreign female friends rant and rave about how the Singaporean Joe is ever eager to please. Their Asian roots help - no further for a doting father and family man.
3) Singaporean men are so united. In a relaxed setting, two things effectively bind men here - and that's army talk and soccer talk. I've witnessed so many Singaporean Joes chummying up within minutes of idle banter on these two default topics.
4) Singaporean men respect their elders and tradition. While increasingly local women stray on this, the men remain stalwart.
Moving on, time to get bitchy with the bitches - the worst of Singaporean women. I tend not to develop close relationships with many Singaporean women because their faults repulse me so much.
When you do catch me with female company during the weekends, you'd discover that they aren't local, or they have spent many years abroad, or also hate other Singaporean women with a passion. What's there to dislike? Too much!
1) Sarong Party Girls (SPGS). I was at Attica some weeks back, just tagging along with some friends. I was rolling my eyes over and over again. Local girl after local girl were hurling themselves at Ang Moh men, disregarding the Caucasians' looks and profession. If you think that these SPGs are those who are sexed up, dressed in tight or revealing clothing and beach-tanned, that isn't sot. The SPG mentality is so widespread there is even a SPG in every Plain Jane.
2) The Non-SPGs are unadventurous and boring. They are the "I don't know, anything goes!" type. What's their idea of spending the weekend? Shopping, lying in bed, watching Korean or Japanese soap operas. Ask them out to go for in-line skating, cycling or shooting it out at paintball and they'd talk you out of it.
3) Spineless, shapeless wrecks. She NEVER lives for herself but always about what her boyfriend wants, what her mother wants, father wants, friends want. The biggest irony? Her friends are equally lost! Unlike the robust women from the West, these Vanda Miss Joaquims have no dreams, goals or passions. Oh sorry, I forgot - they do however continually seek out men they can leach inspiration from and direction from. The one time you never want to be close to a Singaporean woman is when she is out of job and bumming. They are just SO DRAINING! At least in Japan, women are domestic lords.
4) Complacent As Hell. The Singaporean woman naturally doesn't give a damn about her appearance, what with all that "if he loves me, he'll accept me for who I am" jazz. To them, getting attached is an excuse to get fat, as is getting hitched, having a baby, or becoming a mom. I know this too well. I live with one, the Monster Mom. Don't blame your husband or boyfriend for the "overtime work" or inordinate amounts of "business travel".
5) They are prissy. Hello? The poor guy's only asking to go out with you. It's not like he's proposing. And where have you been? Reproduction ain't the sole function of sex.
6) Twisted, warped minds. Girls reading this may attest to hating your moms. I wouldn't speak so soon. It's a vicious cycle.
7) Choping seats with tissue paper. Absurd and completely unacceptable.
Weird la... single girls got maids meh?. they pre-occupied to their parent's maids?. Then where the kids come from?
You are one type of funniest joker in Singapore, I never had ever seen any Men chop seat before. Men are "macho" , they provide seat and open door to us (girls). Do you have a local singaporean chinese boyfriend before?. You go and sleep with him for one day, then you will know him. Trust me.!:D
About 10 to 20 years ago, there were not many expatriates in Singapore. After Singapore gradually replacing Hong Kong to be regional hub, expatriates are getting more and more in Singapore. Singaporean men are proud to be friends with Angmohs and like to be their tour .....
there are a lot of truth in what he said and we observed those tissues lying around in foodcourt and hawker centres.
there is nothing we can do, all our girls are pampered and live in the first world country, everyone wants to be rich and famous. and did not know we are actually becoming very selfish and self-centred also.
In my experiences, I have come across people of all races and creed and they are basicaly the same... i.e decent people who work hard to have a good life and to cherish their family.
Ordinary folks with ordinary problems and jobs with great family values. In fact, I find the Singapore scene etheral and fake....our values are confused and warped.Our problems are internal and not external.
