p.q: n this guy was wearing a suit so he's definitely in the business side
barren: wah corporate malay guy
barren: why is it so surprising to find corporate malay guys?
barren: lol
barren: i find it so rare and refreshing
p.q: yea
p.q: he LOOKED refreshing
p.q: haha
barren: lol
barren: tat time i had a meeting with a mediacorp sales guy
barren: malay also
barren: refreshing also
barren: lol
p.q: lol
p.q: i wonder how they're like in person
p.q: are they humorous? witty?
barren: i dunno, i hardly come across such species
barren: its almost like they're an urban legend
barren: *ponder
p.q: i know!
p.q: but i don't think i can be in a relationship with one?
p.q: actually im not sure
p.q: i think such men come with big ego
barren: or high standards
barren: which i don't think i can keep up with
barren: hiak2
at the risk of sounding racist (but how could we, we’re malays too!), this is really true for my friend, ms p.q. and i. we hardly come across corporatey malay guys, or at least the straight ones. I only noe of two, and yeah, their standards are damn high la.
Are they such an elusive specimen, that we’re not quite sure if they even exist? And single ones? Even harder to find!
And why are we so intimidated by the idea of a high-flying malay guy? More often than not, we’d assume that these men, especially the good-lookers, “won’t go for malay girls” and stereotype them as “sure wanna look for angmoh or chinese gf”.
Why ah?
Anyone care to refute our totally baseless assumptions? Or has evidence that the opposite is true?
I just have to tell you this... one of the high-flying malay guys i know is... gay.
ReplyDeleteand even his male partner is chinese.
does that count as evidence?
