Bachelor Party! Woo Hoo!
It's that time of the year again... the time where Cleo magazine releases their most coveted issue of the year: The 50 most eligible bachelors! Yummy yummy eye candy! Ha ha ha! And quite frankly, that's the only reason why I would buy the magazine. But now I don't have to! Other half has subscribed to it! Yipee!!!
This year's eye candy isn't that bad. I was even more surprised to find an ex-poly mate as one of the bachelors... that led to more speculation that something must have happened between him and another poly mate (unless he lied in the application form though...). But enough about that.
Browsing through the mini interview of the contestants, I was quite disturbed by some of the responses of the guys... especially to the following 2 questions:
1) Bimbo or Bitch?
2) My dream woman will be working as....
Here's a sampling of some responses below (so you guys don't need to actually buy the mag, although CLEO will be very happy if u did)
Contestant: NSman, 19 yrs old
1) Bitch. SO we can bitch about other people together
2) Kindergarten teacher. I find a woman who's good with kids attractive
(I find it scary that a bitch is a kindergarten teacher... poor kids must be traumatized)
Contestant: VJ, 25 yrs old
1) Bitch. She'll stand up for what she believes in
2) a hotdog vendor. I love hotdogs!
(hmm... bitch and hotdog.. yeah.. I see the relation... somewhat)
Contestant: NSman, 21 yrs old
1) Bimbo. At least she won't be as quarrelsome as a bitch
2) a teacher
(right.. other half was already screaming in protest. He's pretty sure that there are teachers that are bitches. And he's also sure that they are very quarrelsome. I wonder if a bimbo can be a teacher?)
Contestant: Inline skates shop owner, 25 yrs old
1) Bimbo. SHe's harmless and won't intentionally hurt the feelings of others
2) a business woman who has time for her family too
(unfortunately, if she's a business woman, she's likely to be bitchy.. somewhat)
Contestant: Project Executive, 24 yrs old (this is my poly mate)
1) Bimbo. She's gotta be pretty for sure
2) High powered executive in an MNC
(refer to above response)
Contestant: Bank Officer Trainee, 26 yrs
1) Bimbo. I'm assuming that she'll at least behave well in public
2) Travel photographer. Being in constant touch with people of different cultures, she can see the world in a different light
(I find it hard to believe that a bimbo can be a travel photog)
Contestant: Entrepreneur, 26 yrs old
1) Bimbo. They may be intellectually unattractive, but at least they are nice. Have you seen legally blonde?
2) Computer Game developer
(which part of bimbo do you not understand?)
Contestant: Actor, 27 yrs old
1) Bimbo. Less tiring to deal with
2) a banker. I love a woman in a power suit and stilettos
(sigh.. refer to above responses once again)
Do you notice similarities? Ok, perhaps their definition of bimbo or bitch is different from my definition. But that's not the point. The problem is, they are attracted to certain kinds of females, but yet, they have other ideals about what their ideal female should be. And there you have it. The real reason why they are still bachelors.
Man.. I am sure going to be sued for this! Ha ha ha ha...
disclaimer: Note that not ALL of them had these sort of responses!
