Are All Guys Jerks?

It's a Sunday and I'd meant to sleep in a little longer. It's nice to be home after a week in school. However, a call from a dear friend of mine interrupted my beauty rest (Please don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. In fact, it was a good thing that the call woke me up or I'd have wasted the morning away).

My friend Kimmy* had been clubbing the night before with her friends and a major crush of hers was invited too. Unfortunately, before Mr. Crush turned up, Kimmy had already drunk a bit too much and was rather tipsy.

Now, when Mr. Crush came with 2 friends of his, Kimmy, who was usually shy around Mr. Crush, boldly walked over to his table and started talking to Mr. Crush and his friends. Sadly, his actions were less than comforting. He seemed disinterested and even his friends seemed friendlier to Kimmy than he was. Much TOO friendly in fact. And this whole time, Mr. Crush did nothing to protect Kimmy from his overly-friendly pals or get Kimmy back to her table where her friends were. It wasn't as if Kimmy and Mr. Crush were complete strangers. Even if they were, a true gentleman should do something about the awkward situation!

Fortunately for Kimmy, she wasn't dead drunk and quickly escaped to the ladies when the men were too much to handle. It was a terrible thing to happen. She had wanted to talk to Mr. Crush, and since his friends were there, she was just trying to be nice to them. But they obviously took advantage of her friendliness.

When she narrated the whole incident to me, I told her flatly, "Forget about him lah. This kind of guy is not worth your time and feelings."

Then she asked me, "Why do girls fall for guys who are jerks??"

I opened my mouth to reply but no words came out. I replied, " Maybe it's because... nan ren bu huai, nu ren bu ai?" Nah, I seriously doubt that. After much thought, I decided that all guys are jerks, the same way all girls are bitches. It's just that different people are jerks and bitches to different extents. So there.

To end, I'll just share two of my favourite feminist quotes.

1. Guys are like laxatives. They irritate the shit out of you.
2. Guys are like parking lots. The good ones are taken and the ones left are the handicapped.

PS: Names have been changed to protect the privacy of my friend.
PPS: Would like to apologize to the FEW existing nice guys out there if you're offended by this.
