The Story of Boon and Lynn
Jamie Yeo -
I once knew a couple that everyone thought was a match made in heaven. Boon (not his real name of course) was handsome, sweet, sensitive and committed while Lynn (not her real name) was stunning, sexy and successful. On the outside, they seem so happy. Lynn would "complain" about how Boon showed her up constantly by being so much nicer to her parents then she was, while Boon would jokingly tell his friends that Lynn was so successful and made so much money he could be a "househusband" one day. A few months after they got engaged, they broke up. And that's when the accusations flew.
Lynn was too materialistic for Boon. Boon was too weak for Lynn. Lynn was too controlling. Boon was too nice. Lynn was too ambitious for Boon. Boon was too unmotivated for Lynn. Lynn was a bitch. Boon was such a sweetie. Lynn was too headstrong, too stubborn, too proud, too shallow, too vain, too conceited, too this and too that!

How many times have we heard that story? Loving Singaporean couple on the outside but if you dig deeper, you'd find the poor guy wrapped around the girl's manicured little finger.

Singaporean women have lots and lots of wonderful qualities, and certainly more good ones than bad. However, this week's blog topic forces me to pick on our bad traits which has really given me a headache. I mean, I'm really having to rack my brain here! Because I think it's so obvious that SG women are just so much better than SG men and it's not just me being biased! But OK, if we had to point out our flaws, I'd say we are too independent, too headstrong, too ambitious, too materialistic, and sometimes too picky. We need to lower our standards both living and social. We need to not look for everything in a man and settle down with what we have.

We need to let them, SG men, take care of us. They'd like that. SG men are very caring. Not only are they caring, but they're pretty hardworking too. Most of them are very filial having been mothered by Mommy since they were a baby, so chances are they'd love and respect our parents too which is always very nice. Most SG men are very sweet yes.

SG men are very responsible too. Most of them would gladly undertake the responsibilities of providing well for the family, a trait that is intrinsically what we women want and hope for in a life partner.

Having gone through National Service means that most of our men are quite fit as well, which is always a plus. NS makes SG men real men!

The best of Singaporean men far outweigh the worst, I say. I'm simply not worthy.
