And how women misunderstand men...

Good morning blogsphere. You know, I was thinking hard, in fact, cracking my head over something to write for this blog, who ever knew blogging was so difficult. Then I see jan and his post, which cracks me up cause it is rather true (Oh sexist me), and then we have siow with her counter.

She does make some excellent points, particularly in the line of ladies nights which still makes me bleed with envy of their privilege (I mean, everyone loves a free drink, right?), but otherwise, I think she may be slightly misinformed. So let's get started with no.1 on our list...

1. Skirts

Actually, men do experiment with that. It's called kilts. And there's also sarongs, lungis, and dhotis.

And many men wear them, they are cooling and comfortable, no? And if you wish to say you don't see them wearing it outdoors, well, there are two reasons for that. One, the term upskirt was coined for a reason, and two, the dangler is too easily exposed with it. With skirts, girls can't run, sit comfortably, squat or be on a higher ground, or windy place... and more. So what's the point of something which actually holds you back?

So yes, we know the feeling of wearing a 'skirt', especially Malaysians and the culture of sarongs. Would you like a bucket of cold water with that?


2. Girls Room

I shall assume we are talking about restaurants and clubs here, since I do not think they have plush sofas or even plastic chairs in public toilets, but really, toilets? Why would want to chit-chat in a place which is about to be stink bombed by someone who had too much cabbage and beans? Ew.

And about reapplying makeup and staring into ginormous mirrors? Sorry, guys don't need to feed their vanity THAT badly to 'need to go to the ladies to freshen up'.

Speaking of which, can someone quote me any case where a guy gets remotely injured from such a mistake. More likely, you hear glass-shattering shrieks while the guy runs out red-faced.


3. Sanitary Pads

A quick warning for everyone out there. Anyone that decided to check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator for the answer to the question.. here it is.

This liquid is typically a half-and-half mixture of water and ethylene glycol or propylene glycol (with a small amount of corrosion inhibitor) known as antifreeze.

And if you decided to follow this, I'm so sorry. Antifreeze is meant to be added into cars in countries like US or UK, where winter actually freezes your radiator water, and hence, the need of anti-freeze. It is actually highly corrosive, and has quite a bad effect on cars built for tropical weather, such as Protons and CBU Vios and City. Adding this will make your radiator rust fast, and result in a leak, an overheat and a overhaul. So much for girls knowing anything about radiators. The internet cannot be fully trusted.

And on pads, hey, we don't use it, why know about it? But girls use cars and radiators in them no? Btw, on another notes, guys with girlfriends actually do know these stuff. Some even help their girlfriends buy these in times of needs (No, not me. Not yet, anyway)

Oh, and there is also a Wikipedia article on Sanitary Pads which includes the type of pads, for anyone who is interested, but I cannot promise on it's accuracy.


4. Child Bearing

I'm gonna make this one short and sweet. Yes, we are very happy to make you feel such great responsibility and giving u the feeling of carrying a life. That feeling, you won't ever get either. Oh, and sorry for the pain.


5. Self-pampering

Oh, girls really need to understand the psychological makeup of guys. We lack the vanity (and I speak for most, not all, for there are many metrosexuals out there), to actually go spa or mask or manicure. Our concept for self-pampering is buying some new gadget, or a fancy new car, or a drunken stupor night out with the boys. It's relaxing too, you know.


6. Make-up

Again, why bring up vanity over and over again? Two things about the job hunting example



• Do you want a job who hires for you just for your looks?


• Are you lack so much confidence in yourself that you need to depend only on looks to get a job?


Of course, exceptions exist, such as modeling or acting and maybe PR. But otherwise, really?


7. PMS

Be real. Don't blame everything on PMS. I mean, you don't see guys putting the blame on IMS or anything of that sort. Accept it like a man! Oh wait, maybe that's why they coined the term with man instead of woman.


8. Ladies Night

Ok, you win here. I completely agree. And it's good for men who needs a hunting ground anyway.

So there you have it. If being happy in life is as said by siow, by all means, be happy. But otherwise, I will have fun being a guy...
