Men are such idiots
Men are such idiots. Utter idiots. That's such a sweeping statement but bear with me, as usual.
I've got a nagging problem with men. Not Eric, though he sometimes, once in a blue moon, falls into the general category, but yeah, men in general. They're, mostly, all Mr Fix-Its and they have this stupid, stupid, stupid tendency to whine. At this point in time I seriously doubt that men are able to do anything proper at that, they're so preoccupied with what they are damn good in and boasting about their cleverness, they just refuse to see the bigger picture and the other routes to maneuvre around themselves to bring out bigger successes.
Example in point. Men walk around with engorged heads. OK, OK, maybe most of the men I know walk around with balloons of air on their shoulders. They like to boast. Blardy hell, they so damn like to boast. And to girls like me, almost 25, my friends who are of my age aren't typically successful yet. What the fuck is there for them to boast?
You got that, their so called degree-d achievements.
IDIOTS.
And then, with that stupid engorged head full of air, they will use their stupid recorded GPAs to boost their delusioned egos and go on to test your brains. And in the process try make you look like a complete idiot. This is a plan which inevitably backfires, because, instead of making you look like an idiot, the stupid MAN will look so stupid, he will just go down into that mental blackbook of 'blundering stupidos'.
Now, I'm giving out lessons to guys who want to date smart girls like me a huge tip. Don't boast. And don't do stupid things like this.
Example 1
Me: So what do you want to do actually?
Him1: You won't know. Don't ask.
Me: Try me.
Him1: You won't get it one. You don't understand engineering. My mum, my sister also like that.
Me: You want to do consultancy?
Him1: Maybe.
Me: Hmmm…
Him1: You know what is consultancy or not?
Example 2
Him2: I heard you're writing freelance.
Me: Sometimes.
Him2: You know how much to charge or not?
Me: Charge for what?
Him2: Let's say I want you to do a copywriting work.
Me: Oh. OK. For what company?
Him2: You know what is copywriting or not?
Example 3
Me: So how are you today?
Him3: I hate my job. I'm an engineer but I'm not doing anything right.
Me: Huh? I thought you're a sales engineer. Means that you do use your skills right?
Him3: No. I do sales.
Me: I think everybody does sales in his lifetime. We're constantly selling ourselves.
Him3: You know what is sales or not?
Example 4
Him4: What a fucked up day.
Me: What happened?
Him4: Stupid presentation backfired lah.
Me: I see. How come?
Him4: Just did. The people just didn't seem to understand me, I have to talk about the things so many times.
Me: Ha ha. The handouts didn't work?
Him4: You know what is presentation or not?
Notice the similarities which I have highlighted in bold. Now idiots, if you didn't know already, any girl will tell you that admitting helplessness and innocence is in a girl's basic guidebook. We have NO PROBLEMS in asking for help at all. We are trained and brought up to be 'helpless damstrels in distress' when the time calls for, and in that process, you will be made to feel like a hero. Every other day in my life, I either am genuinely stupid enough to not know that I'm supposed to check my tyre pressure often, or clever enough to feign helplessness by saying, 'Oh dear, I don't know how to do this, can you help me?'
There and then you will be given your chance to look heroic and impress the lady. She will give you your chance. Otherwise, don't try to be a smartass and imagine that by asking a question like, 'You know what is XXX or not?' will make you look clever and heroic. It won't. Either that, or stop looking for smart girls with attitudes and brains like mine. Because you don't deserve us. Go find a girl who is genuinely stupid or fine with feigning stupidity and you can have all your chances in the world to look like Einstein.
Final example.
Him5: Hey. What are you doing over there?
Me: I'm writing a story.
Him5: Wah what story?
Me: Something for work. It's coming out okay I think.
Him5: I see. What do you actually do ah?
Me: Er. I'm a writer and an editor lah. I thought I told you already.
Him5: Oh. I forgot mah. So what do you do as a writer? Write stories?
Me: You know what is stupid or not?

I’d like to comment on this. But, you know what is a comment or not?
May 6th, 2005 at 10:48 am
i felt the same way about my female friends…
May 6th, 2005 at 10:49 am
Nolar MORON, I randomly picked the name out of nowhere and wanted to babble nonsense for 15 minutes. Of course I KNEW what BG was, otherwise I wouldn’t have initiated the conversation.
May 6th, 2005 at 10:57 am
if men are such idiots as you claimed. don’t fall in love with them or marry them. tell your dad he is an idiot too and stop reconizing him as dad cause he is a man. look who’s whining now?
May 6th, 2005 at 11:03 am
If you read carefully, she said “men in general” not “ALL men”. There is a difference.
Personally, I hate it when a man can’t stick up for himself.

May 6th, 2005 at 11:16 am
OI! :mad::mad:
you know what is an ‘OI!’ or not?
May 6th, 2005 at 11:21 am
james:
hehe…. that’s a comment!
michael: idiots will be idiots… whither male or female. what’s with our stupid luck to meet idiots all the time?
elaine: I TOLD YOU! You wouldn’t believe me… see?
stan: urm. you? whine in your own blog lah bugger.
mei: thank you very much. i think stan didn’t read carefully, but i can forgive him for that. speed readers are prone to mistakes.
cynical idealist: exactly, THOSE KIND OF MEN! and they’re also the type who think that they want a smart woman.
eyeris: not IO? haha.
May 6th, 2005 at 11:22 am
arrrggghhhhh….dammit james, you took my line. :p
May 6th, 2005 at 12:15 pm
I totally agree with minishorts! But I don’t understand what is “agree”….what is “agree” ah??
May 6th, 2005 at 1:56 pm
… aiyo, and these are the same men who don’t understand why women get all ‘huffy’ after they ask the questions like those in the examples.
thank God for intelligent men… when they *do* pop into one’s life…
May 6th, 2005 at 2:32 pm
Haha, good one, especially the last example. But you don’t come across as that intellectually challenged, so why are all the men you meet underestimating your brains? I say, next time just put them in their place and burst their stupid egos! The really smart ones don’t boast, they don’t need to.
May 6th, 2005 at 2:44 pm
oooh! somewhat man-bashing!
today after 1 and a half years of being in A-Levels.. the guys finally decided to DECIDE where we have lunch. .. since it was the girls who decided throughout the entire course. It took the sad boys nearly 15 minutes to decide before we helped them to decide.
They wanted to make decisions, so that they do not look sissified. Oh well, too bad. We ended up deciding for them anyway.:)
May 6th, 2005 at 4:53 pm
hb: awww… nvm you better go and take care of that new egg of yours lest you break another one (wait, that sounds obscene) hahaha
wilson: well, you know what is a dictionary or not? hahahha.
zyrin: i like to imagine that my current beau falls into the category of smarter men.
janus: me can’t understand my smart luck either!
jayelle: that’s why we girls always say together, ‘Men!’ with a loud sigh.
May 9th, 2005 at 12:46 pm
for a few rotten apples the whole lot is condemned to the abyss of hell. such fair judgement and remarks. and yes, i do recognize that your remarks are aimed at ’some’ men. but rather that spiralling toward the edge of a horn, could it be that there are women like that too (SFX: gasp!) after all its a big world out there.
instead of gender discrimination would it be sane to say that ’some people are idiots’. there are good/nice people and there are crappy people, just that you run across some crappy people which are men (i heard a saying, something about attracting the same species or some shit. true? maybe, maybe not).
at one point of your text, you seems to show some above average mentality. if so, it would seem that the article was written under circumstances like anger, hatred, disgust, and loathing. maybe a little, maybe a lot (one would only know). in an instance we all know ‘great works’ that comes from writing under influence (bravo! SFX: applause! en core! en core!).
hmmm lets ponder!, how would you feel if some ego cream filled, semi skimmed brained man wrote an article like yours but aimed at women and call its “all women are whores” now that ain’t right is it? … of course it ain’t right.
May 9th, 2005 at 12:51 pm
edtivism: of course it ain’t right. but it sure as hell would be fun to flame and laugh about (for men).
May 9th, 2005 at 1:27 pm
yes, assembling comments and placing in right into every guys mouth so that you could make it into supporting evidence of your incorrect accusation (’Objection sustained’ SFX: wodden mallet knocking).
minishorts Quoted,”sure as hell would be fun to flame and laugh about (for men). Unquote. so you are sure as hell. wait, out of context for a few seconds, question one: are you a guy? question two: so you did see hell?.
okay, back to contexts. if your a man and you find doing such things to be fun, your are wrong to place such statement (not every guy thinks like you). if you seen hell, still you can not place such statement (refer to the previous comment).
May 9th, 2005 at 1:38 pm
if my previous statement sounded hostile and negative, i apologies. maybe my narration was not as well as i think it is (”my bad”).
by the way, its edtvism for the record.
May 9th, 2005 at 1:44 pm
edtvism: sorry for the name blunder.
have you been ditched recently? by a girl like me i mean? the ultra-man-hating feminist.
*hugs* i don’t think your next gf will be some one like me lah. don’t worry.
nice guys like you deserve better, sweeter and kinder women.
which i’ve striven to be. but am not.
May 9th, 2005 at 1:46 pm
No offense to men you know but I only hear this “you know what is…” from Chinese educated people. In fact when the sentence is read, I can already hear it playing in my head with a condescending Chinese “lei cheee mou copywriting hai mat yeh?”
May 9th, 2005 at 1:47 pm
Oops I think it should be “chi” and not “cheee” but someone’s bound to say “you know what is cheee or not?”
May 9th, 2005 at 1:50 pm
albert: you’re right… all the men who said the above were chinese educated men from my high school (seniors and peers alike). though comment number two made me tempted to say… ‘bai’ in reflex.
May 9th, 2005 at 2:17 pm
ultra-man-hating-feminist dating a man. (in accordance to japanese anime@animations, a huge drop of water hangs from the top left of my head)
although your statement are extremenly incorrect, my last relationship ended a long time ago. but i wasnt really suprised since now i kind of understood your way of thinking/forming of idea(intriuging, action: rubs chin).
apart from that, your kind sweetness and warms are greatly appriceated. i can’t conjure up no other words to say but “thank you”.
perhaps what you are looking for is deep in yourself. you did show sweetness and kindess.
‘a place where mankind will never look is within themself. be true to yourself’ quote, some article and then augmented by me.
May 9th, 2005 at 2:21 pm
oh dear.. how now, ed? I’m actually falling in love with you. please write me a personal and i will respond to you … minishorts @ gmail.com
wait. i’ll mail you. brb.
ps to the others: this guy’s got great pick up methods.
May 9th, 2005 at 3:02 pm
there is a time that you don’t know how to react to a situation. this is that time for me.
May 9th, 2005 at 5:33 pm
Lols.. I see bullets flying everywhere.. ahahaha..
Hmm.. I’m a guy and I LOVE women.. and also I LOVE hanging round my buddies.. but ironically I don’t find them being idiots.. hehe.. Everybody chill.. ahahaha.. Men are idiots, women are whores.. who the hell cares?? some men are and some women are too.. ahaha.. as long as they stay away from me I’m fine.. As for dickheads who like to boost their ego, why pay attention to them at all? heh.. ignorance is a bliss..
Take cover!!
May 10th, 2005 at 1:27 am
s4ints: so happens the edtvism guy got really hilarious mah… maybe he can prove that men are not idiots leh?
May 11th, 2005 at 5:37 pm
ahaha… of course he is.. he’s my buddy.. ahahaha.. lols..
June 23rd, 2005 at 11:48 pm
I guess the more we try to impress girls the more unimpressed they are? Sad case of men being wussies I guess.
July 13th, 2005 at 2:37 pm
why you like that say men? don’t anyhow say say leh. cannot anyhow like that one lah.
permit me my opinion, since you have yours (you know what is an opinion or not?)
men are dicks. sure, there’s one or two genuinely nice fellas, and there’s a whole bunch of genuine assholes pretending to be nice fellas.
perhaps then, if the men you meet are all uppity about their myriad achievements, you might want to consider seeking companionship from another subset of the male species.
say for example; pre-pubescents. they rarely have enough spine to question your intelligence. contrarily, they might take to worshipping your maturity and worldliness.
there’s always the option of hanging out with white men. sure they’re mostly prats, but they hide their disdain well, almost as well as they hide their affairs.
my point, and i do have one (thanks, ellen), is that you have OPTIONS. choosing not to exercise those options and bitch about it instead is also an option (but you know that already).
however, half these morons posting comments obviously aren’t…
(like cynical-idealist’s gem “intelligent women rule”, and just about anything written by stan.)
July 23rd, 2005 at 4:29 pm
Good advice, will be duly noted.
Relax, not all guys are total jerkoffs in that way.
August 17th, 2005 at 5:16 pm
that’s not called boasting
(unless i missed something)
that’s called belittling/being derogative. (yesh i ‘m with you on this one)
we do boast, i feel it helps our self-esteem and is healthy, its only bad when you hurt or make others feel little.
January 29th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
All i can say is dat these guys(mentioned in examples) were stupid nd rude…..personally, i do like women with a sense of humour….but i don’t relish excessive teasing…..!!!
