Sensitive New Age Guy
My friend Jieyong has recently started a blog, which he used to claim was a girl's thing. Initially when he knew I was starting a blog, which was a few months back, he was actually quite shocked with it.
A few months later, here he is, part of the blogosphere now.
To make matters worse, (haha) this guy who once claimed blogging was a girl's thing is now coo-ing sweet nothings to his girlfriend, repetitively calling Jasmine , his girlfriend, as dearie. So basically I shall describe a typical blog post by him:
Today Dearie was sick, poor dearie. She has been working so hard and fell ill again, so I went to dearie's house after booking out of camp to cheer her up. Nowadays camp life is so boring. The only entertainment I get is when the coolest sergeant in my camp, 3sg Raymond, comes to the specialists' mess to visit me. Anyway when I reached dearie's house, dearie surprised me with a big scrumptious meal and gave me a big huge teddy bear for me to bring home! I love teddy bears!
Ok, so not exactly the last part. I'm sure Jieyong is not into Teddy Bears! But I was just teasing, playing on the claim he made today about him being a Sensitive New Age Guy. I was commenting that they calling Dearie so much over their blogs is really giving me the goosebumps.
Anyway, Jieyong and Jasmine are such a sweet couple. Although, in my opinion, a little bit too sweet for me! Nono, they're diabetic to me! (super over sweet). Now you know why I'm still single, and they are.... haiz... blissfully in love! *And note to both of you: continue to be sweet to each other and ignore my teasings*
Getting to my main point, I'm wondering exactly whether this Sensitive New Age Guy thing is still relevant to society nowadays. I kind of remembered it being quite 'last millenium', because now the new 'in' term is metrosexual. But the other day I just read that metrosexual is passe, and machosexual is in again.
I kind of envy those who are natural metrosexuals OR machosexuals, coz I'm actually neither. I envy it when a guy like Jieyong can wear a pink shirt and carry it off coolly, like it was just another normal punky hip hop- teenager kinda shirt. For me, if I wear a pink shirt, I'll look more like a confused teenager that is part goth/part drag queen. Ok so I'm exaggerating, but you get the idea. And getting pedicures and manicures are totally not my thing. Besides, shopping to me can be rather torturous since I get easily bored, and half the clothes out there don't fit my rather small frame. Being a metrosexual can also be a rather ambiguous thing, because some people think it's just a polite term for calling someone GAY, which I'm so not. But at the same time, even more people think it's a huge turn-on because it shows that a guy is confident in himself and not afraid to show his softer side. Whatever la.
As for the machosexuals, I don't exactly know what the term entails, but doesn't it annoy you when some male celebrity on TV just smiles and says a simple sentence and hordes of females scream wildly in delight, labelling him some 'sex object'?
Which leaves me to the oldest trick in the book: being the Sensitive New Age Guy. Though I think it sounds the least cool and macho of the lot, haha, I still think deep inside their hearts, most girls dig these guys. Just as long as you're not TOO sensitive. Like crying when you see the sun rise or something. Good thing is, I don't have to BE the SNAG, because I guess I naturally am, although I find some things hard to say out in words. Like Dearie, or telling my mom I love her.
Step 1 in training myself to be a full-fledged SNAG: (I'll come up with more in my future posts)
1) Psychological Conditioning
I love you dearie I love you dearie I love you dearie I love you dearie I love you dearie I love you dearie I love you dearie I love you dearie.
Wah, no goosebumps this time round.
