Interview with Venus

I just finished lunch with two colleagues of mine, sitting at the couch chilling out. Somehow we got on to the topic of the birds and the bees.

A short introduction on my two friends, lady Y is a self-professed lesbian currently attached with, I must put as, a hot chick. Lady A is straight, unattached, a very independent woman (notice how being independent puts distance from the opposite sex?).

Lady Y happens to be reading CLEO, and chanced on this article on Singaporean women being clingy…

Lady Y: “Hey guys, this is interesting. Are Singaporean women being to clingy to their spouses?” she said out loud, pointing at the article.

“Pass me that.” I took a quick glance at the article. It’s a lot of details, and to summarise, basically about guys lamenting on how their girlfriends controlling them, demanding everything… time, space and soul blah blah blah… this ex was like this that etc… you get the point.

“Not true lor. Guys are the same what. In fact I think guys are more possessive lor! It’s almost impossible for girls to hangout without having to put up with their annoyance.” Lady A retorted.

Wooh… suddenly I feel the pressure on me. Being the only guy in the vicinity, it seems that the burden of clarifying to these poor misguided souls the MEANING of “clinginess” lies on my shoulder. Ladies, you have sorely misunderstand the male population here man… Now listen…

“Hey” I said with little smug on the face “Being clingy is not being possessive lor. There is a world of difference.”

“Women are clingy, in the sense they need assurance and pampering all the time. They want men to say nice thing about them, talk to them and do stuff for them etc.”

“Guys are not like that~! Guys want their girls to stay by their side, and that is being possessive. They want to know where you are, who you are with because it’s a man’s protective instincts kicking in. But not expecting girls to fuss about them... because they want the room to do their own things…or do some thinking. In fact fussing the guys will only get them hot and bothered, that’s not gonna help. There is a difference in the two though I can’t say which is better”

“Well… true…” lady Y hesitates “But I still think girls are better! Easier to get along than guys.”

“Yeah lar, but end of the day the girls need the guys lar.” Lady A covers her face with the mag. “I still like guys… Shawn Yue’s the best!!!……blah blah blah”

And the rest of it was blocked out of the mind. Rubbish is meant to be cleared out of the mind, not to be input. Still feeling happy about scoring some points for giving some insight to the female populaces about the “virtue” of men, I shifted in ease back to sleep.

There we call to an end of another episode of Mars VS Venus, the never ending story. Period.
