FACTS:

More and more young women are cheating on their husbands. (Study of extra-marital affairs by Care Corner Singapore)

The number of Singaporean men who marry foreign wives increased by more than 10 percent from 1997 to 1998. (Ministry of Community Development)

Eight out of 10 working men would prefer their wives to work instead of staying at home. (1997 survey of working adults by Social Development Unit)

"When a sensitive guy tries to win a woman over, she calls him a wimp. But when he turns macho, she calls him a pig. Either way, we lose!" said one husband.

words that pierced harder than a thousand daggers...
lousy love-makers, mummy's boy, professionally stagnant, immature, overly sensitive and male chauvanist pig.

Ronny's Laws
Ronny Zeroth Law states that Women = Evil
Ronny First Law states that the looks of a man is inversely proportional to the woman's Look
Ronny Second Law states that Fame + Wealth = Handsome
Ronny Third Law states that P(a guy winning an arguement with a woman) = 0 , where P denotes Probability....

Understand women? Don't even try

The harsh reality is this: Most men simply don't know what women want. And really, who can blame us? Unlike men, whose desires can be categorised into beer, women and football, the female sex is one of incredible complexity. When i say complexity, I'm trying to be nice here. I actually mean to say contradiction, but i really don't want my wife to lock me out of the bedroom tonight.

Seriously, though, just think about it.
They want equality, yet they still want doors opened and chairs pulled for them. They demand that we do housewoork, since they also have careers these days, but when we clean, they tell us not to touch thiings around the house because we mess them up. The get insanely jealous if other girls look at their partners, yet they themselves crave attention from other men. They call us sexist when we admire a woman's well proportioned chest, but it's okay if a bunch of girlfriends get together to check out a cute guy's butt. They can't believe that we can spend 2 hours to play computer games, yet see nothing wrong in spending 4 hours to choose a pair of shoes.

You know, sometimes, I wonder if God created women just to have fun with us. I mean, how is it possible that a being created out of our rib is so completely confusing to us? This entire article might sound strange, especially coming from a married man. But you see, I can say all these things with authority because of my lack of understanding of femaledom didnt hamper the development of my relationship with my wife.

When it comes to understanding women, there are really 2 things you can do, but alcoholism is generally frowned upon by society, not to mention that the hangover's a pain. So really, there is only option 2. Which is, don't even try. Just chalk women down as one of those great mysteries in life, like why no women care that Keanu Reeves is a bad actor.

You see, I think we're just not meant to understand what's going on inside their heads, simply because it then makes the journey of discovery all that more engaging. I've known my wife for some 16 years now, and I'm still peeling the layers off her every day to understand her better. And not just her. Some of my best female friends, I'm also relishing knowing more about them as the years go by.

The journey's hit some rocky bumps, for sure, but you can never say that it's been uninteresting. If you're Christian, then you'll know that women are a gift to men, although He might have been sniggering as He pulled out our rib. I think that they are, indeed, for the world would be terrible without them. But to paraphrase a line from the movie Spiderman( who also can't understand women, by the way) they are our gift, they are our curse.

Should women let the men dominate?

GIRLS. What is it you all want? No, really. Then tell the guys. Tell the men what you women really want. Because they don't know. Truly, they haven't the foggiest idea.

No, no, don't give them a clue. Clues are for games. Marriage, relationships, it's a partnership, not a game. This is the 21st century, so quit being a geisha about it. Even if the subject is as old as that first couple. She had nothing to wear, he couldn't decide what to eat, Adam & Eve, those two. (You know, of course, that if they had been chinese, they'd eaten the snake.)

Last week, Singapore wives accused their hubbies of being wimps (if i tell you "wimp" is "women intimidate men, periodically, I hope you'll laugh.) This week - it's ladies first, no matter what has changed - their husbands have their say, and Singapore men are saying the missus is a witch (to rhyme with bitch, natch). It's like a tennis match in some form,a fair bit of backhanding, but still love-all. But here's the curious thing. In all the exchanges of name-calling, the most important word, love, has not cropped up much. Practicalities. The Singaporean is famed for being pragmatic. Be realistic, love, schmove, have you thought where we're going to live and how we're going to eat?

An Ah Lian once told me that for her Beng and her, "Whne he asks me, 'Are you cold?' and 'Are you hungry?', that is his way of telling me he loves me."

Care and respect. You won't go far wrong to value the two alongside love. Now, I am going to open my mouth and change feet (which are not shod in geisha slippers). I believe most women either want to be dominated, or have to be dominated. But are unlikely to admit to it. As if having come thus far, letting the man lead would be to proclaim women are, indead, the weaker sex. And when he doesn't lead, he's a wimp. It's not related. Sometimes, it's good to have a man to cling to - especially when you're on an incline in four-inch heels. When i suggested this to a pool of female collegues, there was the expected uproar.

No Way!
In the next minute, one by one: Well, yes, maybe, perhaps he should dominate, but only in certain matters. Several of The Newpaper's New Faces said the same: NO!

All right, yes, the man should dominate, but only on important decisions, (umm, finance and home, kid's education) He can be boss, but only in certain quarters. In other words, when you say so. Hello, make up your grudging mind. Only one person can wear the trousers in the house. Err, if you'll let him, that is (because he looks silly in your dress)

One 20something actually confessed to wanting a bit of the cavemen type. She is a completely feminine girl, skirts and all, although that's not the indication. Many of my younger friends point to education. Then they should have no difficulty understanding that "dominate" is not "hit me on the head with your big stick". It's to let the one who shaves every morning be the man of the house. Okay, dominate is the wrong choice of word. If i said give him face, acceptable? You might even learn to love it. Eventually.

didnt sleep last night. doing chemistry. now my head is aching badly. should be sleeping soon. going to meet ronny tomorrow at 8 to collect the tutorials that i supposedly lost. geez... that's just too early.. i might be tutoring tomorrow afternoon. i dunno. feels like stopping tutoring till the As are over. but then, O levels would have started and my "student" will have not enough time to prepare. my mum told me to tell her if i can't tutor her friend anymore. i too have exams k. and it's not like my results are satisfactory either. getting all O level passes is simply... urgh.. changing study strategy again...

i like to hear mr dennis yeo's talk. or just his crap. he can motivate and make people laugh. well, he made me laugh at least... ahhaha..
