a little background info... MetroMan enjoys the company of the fairer sex, he enjoys making them comfy. But MetroMan has a dark secret. He's selfish and can't bring himself to commit for fear of becoming like the "bapak-bapak" types such as his frens who got hitched.
Metroman's weakness is the hot model type woman; his diction goes weak in their presence and is reduced to what i think is akin to the Caveman. He mumbles & grunts. I've seen myself a few of these specimen that MetroMan is attracted to. ok la. Gruntworthy.
When he goes on dates, MetroMan is polite to no end, even if he finds that they talk too much, are too short or too boring. The ladies will ask for seconds, but MetroMan always has some reason... usually very believable but made-up and delivered in a politically-correct and gentlemanly way, always, of course.
A summary of what MetroMan wants?
Manicured & mischievious, organised & outgoing, sassy & smart, and HOT. His M.O.S.H rule.
Well, if this is what most metro men go for, no wonder i'm still single.
well MetroMan should count himself lucky that he is in this present time, kalau time cavemen time, nearthedral timing, sure some cave women would use a bommyknocker and knock it on his head. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe MOSH rule cannot win over my RICH & SANE request. *winks*
hmm... no offense to any MetroMen out there but i really can't understand the need to find someone hot. and before anyone accuses me of being a sour grape for not falling into the hot category, the reason i say so is because i have never gravitated towards hot men or men who consider themselves hot.
ReplyDeletemaybe cos these men would automatically set off alarm bells in my head.
and at the end of the day, i want someone who genuinely cares for me and loves me more than he loves his own reflection... haha
random: yah we shld compare the MOSH vs RICH SANE criteria. i didnt realise this b4 but MOSH seems more ahem "externally focused" eh? heh. no offence to my dear metroman of coz. just an observation. to each his own :)
ReplyDeletewh: so right! i also have this 'aversion' to good lookers. yea yea some of my frens said it's coz i cant get them, but that's BESIDE the point. really! i just dont feel... drawn to them. not coz they could be vain or what, but aiyah, better go for the average but pleasant-looking ones... kata orang tengok tak jelak :P
actually bh, sometimes when u think about it, since we discount looks and go for average looking joes...lepas tu these same pple never even live up to expectation. ni mcm kes, sakit mata, sakit hati jugak eh? *evil laffs*
ReplyDeletekalau kes macam gitu, angkat kaki blah la. lol.
ReplyDeletebut then again, love is supposedly patient and blind. once you're head over heels, then wat to do? accept as it is lor :)
agree on the jelak bit. to me, a person's beauty is special when it grows on me and even more so when i discover it myself... chey wah hehe
ReplyDeleterandom: asalkan jangan sakit jiwa, hilang akal then fall for a jerk sudaaah
M.O.S.H... it's all a pair. You forgot the other "H" ;)
ReplyDeleteAs to physical attributes, being visual is ingrained into our being at a primal level, admit it or not.
If a man can be critical of himself in terms of his career achievements, personal accomplishments (I'm no parasitic bum joe as Barren can attest), conduct & mannerism, and last of all his looks, is it wrong to expect the same of a potential partner? Naturally, the "form" comes into play first. Thereafter, it's how she holds my attention with her "substance". I expect too much? Only cuz I offer the same.
Anyway, just getting in my thoughts in the morning. Cheers all.
wah. Metroman speaks. LOL.
ReplyDeletebut just curious Metroman: the manicured & mischievous bit: must be what? go to nail spa and get french manicure with the nail polish all (if that is so, sesungguhnya tak boleh pray la*)- i remember a bruneian acquaintance, a guy who says that he always have his nails manicured & ahem ahem he's on the crooked path. *winks* but thats straying from the topic...
mischievous in what sense? I'm sure everyone has a mischievous streak in them.
In the end, yes, like I've commented earlier...looks do matter but asking for HOT is a tad bit much unless you are looking for someone having a temperature of 37.9degrees.
All the best in your quest. Cheers (",)
i guess to a certain level, we all want some kind of 'standards' in the partner we look for. and the MOSH rule is just the 1st level of criteria for metroman. im sure he wouldnt choose someone just coz shes hot... he wouldn't be able to live with a total airhead, im sure :)
ReplyDeletehmm sorry mr mm, if i left out a few things or didn't capture what you intended to say. for the manicured part, correct me if im wrong, but i think its not really in the literal sense? more like someone who's well groomed and put together, dresses nicely and makes an effort to look good...
true that physical aspect comes into play first - you need to be comfortable with what you see before you decide to give someone a chance. but everyone has varying levels of acceptance in this.
ReplyDeleteand not everyone has a mischievous streak in them, i've met ppl who are just plain boring and goody-too-shoes... no jokes, no teases, no surprises... gaahh!
but it all depends on what you're looking for - a date or a life partner. cos when you're searching for the latter, you tend to set a few more levels of criteria. you are stricter yet are more inclined to be lenient in averaging out the scores for each expectation, according to priority, of course.
so i can only hope MetroMan, that when you do come across a girl with the right combi of your desired form and substance, your fear of commitment will disappear. otherwise, i hope that perfect girl doesn't fall in love with you, cos she'd deserve a man who truly loves her and wants to commit to her.
BH: Yes, the term is "well-groomed and put together". Very apt.
ReplyDeleteWH: If only I can tell you my reasons for fear of commitment... only that when a guy like me decides to give his ALL to that one woman who stands out, he gets taken for a long ride which culminates in hurt.
anonymity is preserved here so you could tell me if you really wanted to.
ReplyDeletesometimes it escapes me how, after placing layered 'admission requirements', a seemingly potential one still managed to enter our hearts and leave us broken.
we can question why our security had lapsed with that particular person or even start scrutinising every subsequent person who comes our way.
but who knows... perhaps, it is time for us to relook at our requirements... perhaps we've been walking with a veil over our eyes and not realise it at all... or perhaps, all we need is to remember once again how it's like to have faith...
good luck MetroMan, i hope you'll address your commitment fears soon.
