UOB Lady’s Card
It is true you know… the advertisement by UOB on their plastic series specially catered to the tempestuous species, where the infamous tagline goes “The men don’t get it”.
The famed anthropologist and psychologist, Freud, died while still being unable to answer, “What do women want?”. And I for one am the first to admit that I really don’t and may never will… get it.
The first of many is…
How come all women are so good at being in denial?
“Oh come on baby, XX and I are just friends”, “No, he is not trying to woo/impress/court/date me”, “No, I don’t have feelings for him anymore”, and “There is nothing going on between XX and me”… any of the above sounds familiar?
If what they all say about us guys are true, that we are insensitive and wouldn’t know what hit us even if it was standing right in front, then please give us some credit and admit it when we ask or suspect. Because if we are able to spot it in the first place, it means that even a blind man can see it, so please don’t insult our intelligence by denying it.
How come you sweet things are always fat?
With some exceptions (I’ll concede on that some girls are really huge… think Godzilla), most of you girls are slim and trim. So please don’t worry too much about that cute little love handle at your waist. Most of us guys (including yours truly, Moi) quite like having a little bit of curves on our women, so having a little bit of that sexy fat on you is perfectly fine. Moreover, unless you are a supermodel or celebrity, we get that it is virtually impossible to look like the ladies in those advertisements.
We always know what you ladies are thinking…
No, we don’t. It would really be helpful to drop OBVIOUS hints to us, or better yet, tell it to our face direct when you want something, are upset, or whatever that is on your mind. Unless you are happy to be disappointed most of the time, then please help us clueless guys. I have seen and I myself have tried… but to no avail… so help us out a little would ya? I don’t mean to spoon feed us all the time, but at times when you suspect that we may not know what is going, then give us a nudge.
Please… you gals have enough clothes and shoes
Again, there is a little caveat to this little mystery as I have some female friends who either have surprisingly on a few pair of shoes or don’t have to much clothes… but for most of you shopaholics… you don’t always have to own every piece of clothing/accessory/shoes in the store.
Well, at least there are 2 pluses to this little idiosyncrasy…
You are stimulating the economy. We wouldn’t recover as quickly from the economic downturn if it weren’t for all your contributions by shopping.
All those clothes, accessories, and shoes make you look damn fine. And I love it!
Not all are negative points though…
How you ladies always smell so good and look so fine?
I don’t know about how and I don’t know why… but you always look so fine and smell so good, even when you aren’t supposed to. Like when you just wake up or are doing sports… instead of looking disheveled or smelling like salted fish, you always look and smell your best…
Sometimes I wonder if you wake up 30mins before us, go to the shower, wash up and stuff, jump back to bed, so you always look fabulous when we open our eyes.
How is it that you never seem to perspire?
Simple point in case… men sweat and we sweat like animals when we are doing sports, when it is a hot day, etc.
Women never perspire. Nope, not a single drop.
How you always lift our spirits…
I for one, always seem to have my spirits lifted when I see my woman… everything just seems nicer… food tastes better, jokes seem funnier, time seems to past faster… you get the point.
I end off with this…
For a relationship to work, a woman needs to understand her man and the man to love her woman… so luckily for us, we don’t need to “get it”. Phew!
