Just read a female magazine interview with their idea of an eligible bachelor.

****

Describe yourself in a few words.
Humourous. Laid back. Sincere.

(CY: VERY lame question! How do you describe yourself in just a few words? I can never do that! And I don’t get this question. Why ask?)

Best Places to meet you?
Ice cream shops like… blahblah.. are my favourite haunts. You might also find me at Oosters or Timbre for some occasional after-work drinks.

(Another lame question. Why would we wanna meet him?? And hello not like in Singapore girls will go up to a guy the meet at an ice cream place and say “hey, wanna hang out?” And it’s not like his haunts defines him?)

What’s a great night out for you like?
Good food, a nice stroll under the stars and a great conversation following a play or a cool gig you can bob your head to.

(CY: WAD???? A NICE STROLL UNDER THE STARS???? ARE YOU FOR REAL?? Ok, I can accept a great conversation. But a stroll under the stars??? Even girls don’t do that anymore! Did he say that because he thinks the girls like to hear it? The notion of romantic night out has evolved… Or is he….. you know?)

What never fails to turn you on?
The sweet after-shower scent on a woman’s skin.

(Ok, his answer I can accept. But the question! Why do you ask that? Are we on a quest to turn man on? Reading this is making me dumber.)

What are your attitudes towards love?
Love is more about action than words. A relationship requires lots of commitment, monumental effort and plenty of love to keep it going.

(Sigh… Why are we defining love again…. I mean what kind of answer are we expecting?)

Sum up Miss Right.
At the most basic level, she’s got to share the same passion for my faith (CY: ok, that’s a sincere answer.) I am attracted to girls with an easy going personality with a hint of subtle vulnerability.

Why am I blogging about this? I don’t really know. I just watched “The Ugly Truth” and just read this article and it just struck me that yes…men and women just don’t get each other, but really… what’s there to get? Every man and woman are (or “is”? my grammar sucks) different! There’s no ONE formula for all man! Every guy is a different person.

Sometimes we can’t even understand a best friend, why are we trying to understand the male species or the female species?

I don’t get why this female magazine is asking such general trying-to-understand-this-male-species question, when there must be a special, personal story that this man can share? I mean I read this. And I forget this.

Ok, I’ll go take a chill pill as instructed by Diya.

(PS: But i think the never ending quest to know the opposite sex makes good entertaiment. I just wished that people don’t take on-tv advices too seriously.)
