There’s something about Why It’s Tough Being A Guy

So I was reading Adrienne Adrenaline’s post about why it’s better being a man. Like those dead wise men love to say, the grass is always chewier on the other side, so I shall attempt to alleviate my friend’s pain and envy by highlighting some points as to why it’s tough being a guy sometimes.


1) We are deemed losers if we don’t drive.
According to what I read on the web these days, the Car is one of the quintessential pre-requisites before you are in consideration as Boyfriend/Husband material. By that definition, I’m doubly a loser because not only do I not have a car, I haven’t even started my driving lessons yet. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that in lieu of the car, B3 will accept my Kar Chng.

2) We get weirdoes staring at our you-know-what sometimes.
The convenience of peeing into the urinal is fine and dandy. Unfortunately, there are occasions when your overly friendly neighbor tries to strike up a conversation at the most inappropriate of times. Sorry, but I am not really interested in ‘making friends’ with you mid-way through my pee.

3) We are faulted when we display a lack of ambition.
During orientation, my class was asked where do we see ourselves in 10 years’ time. A babelicious classmate confidently answered Tai Tai. The nearest male equivalent my friends and I can think of is Tai Tai’s Lover Boy, which is simply not as glam.

4) We get ridiculed because of the body hair that sprouts from the weirdest of places.

5) We get ridiculed because of the lack of body hair.

6) We face a lose-lose situation at Horror Movies.
An involuntary squeal from us, and that’s it: We’ll be deemed as Ah Guas.

7) Come to think of it, we face a lose-lose situation at Teary Movies too.
When we don’t cry, we are deemed as ‘cold-hearted’ and ‘non-metrosexual’ (what the?!?!). When we cry, we are Ah Guas. Walau.

8) We get multiple orgasms on a regular basis.
Yah right.


I really should be doing my tutorials instead.
