MM, Please Don’t Pull The Trigger!

(2006-07-13 17:03:59) 下一個


Normally I think I am quite a prudent and calm person, but recently I got a bit antsy. “Why?” people may ask, “Everything has been going your way.” Actually, That IS the problem. Because I am doing all right , My chance to get marred to a Chinese MM is becoming slim to none.

The other day a friend of mine emailed me a article with a title “ 結婚名單上必須槍斃的 5 類 男人” referring the attachment below. To summarize the essence of the article , A MM won’t marry A GG if he meets the test of any of the following conditions.

a) Homebound

b) tall

c) Fashion oriented

d) Wealthy

e) Good looking

I have to admit I am completed shocked by this revelation, in my mind the above conditions have been golden rules for MMs to pick their men for years when it comes marriage. Can you believe this? Now if a GG who goes out every night, is short in length, has enough money in his pocket for next meal, dress sloppyly, and has a featureless face, then he would be in hot demand. MMs would go craze on him since he would be the best marriage material.

I thought and thinking, in the end I couldn’t still figure out a logical explanation. What has happened in my motherland, where are these brainy, talented and beautiful MMs in my dreams? I have no clue at all. Maybe China has changed so much so fast and it has left many of us in dust. The only reason I could only think of is that something must in the water these MM drink or air they breathe.

In terms my and many GGs’ outlooks for marriage I think it would be very gloomy. To tell the truth, we are just a bunch of “dead men” walking. The worst thing is there are no remedies for us. Because it is too late for us to go back to our mothers womb to reshape our physical attributes, besides we have to dress up to make a living and amass some money to live (FYI, the average condo sales price in Manhattan is $1.45 million. ). Now you see what I mean.

As any reasonable man who still wants get married I started to weigh other options which may be available for me. Nevertheless, before I am going to “jump off the ship” I summoned all my courages to make a final appeal to Chinese MMs out there “ Before you pull the trigger could you think twice? “.

Note: Someone indicated to me that my writing is  too serious. So that I’d just like to poke some fun to light up a little. However, If my writing offends you please forgive me. Thx.

   結婚名單上必須槍斃的 5男人   (zt)

1.長得太帥

男人除非打定主意吃軟飯,否則長得太漂亮絕對是缺點。這個男人長張漂亮臉蛋,從小被阿姨們搶著抱,長大被身邊女生追,婚前倒貼的妹妹一大把,婚後虎視眈眈的姐姐一大群,把他捧得不知天高地厚。這種漂亮男人,擺在街上供我意淫挺好,真把他請進家裏供著?才怪!    


2.
掙錢太多

男人的錢,夠穩定生活就好了。錢太多燒手,往往會生外心。當他的錢可以應付不止一個女人的首飾需要,就算他不主動,也有其他女人以所謂愛情的名義自動送上門來。做人不要太貪。控製不住的那部分,很有可能肥水流到外人田,令你日後成為怨婦隊伍裏的一名。

3.
服裝品味太好

男人服裝穿得幹淨整潔就好,太講究服裝的男人,往往太愛自己,婚姻生活裏不懂得適當的讓步。想一個男人,他的衣服比我的還多,每月製裝費比我還高,每天早晨出門前,考慮是穿藍色這套好,還是黑色那套好,是配灰色領帶,還是配棕色鞋子,多麽娘娘腔!

4.
個子太高

中國女性曾經侮辱性地提出了三級殘廢一說,大傷個子不高的男人的自尊,大長了那些傻高個兒的誌氣。想要個子高的男人,最好看看你自己有多高。莎菲女士碰見的那位小白臉,高得她僅到他腋下,這樣子高法,有什麽好?一輩子那麽長,天天需仰視才得見,脖子吃不消不說,大多時間隻能看到他下半截。要是光為了男人的下半身,哪有結婚必要?

5.
守在家裏

男人晚上不出去,肯守在家裏,應該算美德吧?曾經去一個朋友家玩,住了三天,吃盡了苦。那男人外表看斯文溫和,搶起電視遙控器來可是寸土必爭從不手軟。我要看麥當娜,他要看警察現場抓罪犯。我們每天最佳娛樂就是搶遙控器,因對方身強力壯,每次以我的失敗告終。看著他寬厚的肩膀,我心裏對自己咬牙切齒地說:絕不嫁這男人!

縱然平行 回複 悄悄話 豆沙小月餅: Your comments are logical and thoughtful. Thx.
豆沙小月餅 回複 悄悄話 我仔細看了一下這5條,作者列舉的例子有些極端。

第一條,外表。從心理學的角度講,男人帥會呈現兩個極端,一種是驕奢淫逸型,一種是謹慎內向型。女人是感情的俘虜,比男人更容易去懷疑和否定。男人帥的同時,也會讓身邊的女子益發不自信,然後產生不安全感。不過,隻由外貌來評斷一個人,還是草率了。我認識幾個男孩子人都很帥,雖然有些優越感,但是也沒有掩蓋他們的善良和正直。

第二條,富有。 我覺得要看錢的來源。國內改革開放以後暴富一大批人,部分是鑽了空子。現在國內非常富有的人,也大多比較有後台。我隻能說,這些有錢人的素質,並沒有想象中的高。所以,國內流行的那句話,“男人有錢就變壞”,我覺得很大成分上是針對國內好事不出門壞事傳千裏的環境。對於比較明智的人來說,錢不會害了一個人。

第三條,題為“服裝品位太好”。可是這一段描寫,絕對不是服裝品位太好,而是沒有品位。如果品位太好,一眼就知道什麽適合自己,不會挑來挑去搞不清楚的。

第四條,個子高。我記得一篇文章,討論男人和女人的身高差別,據說是15厘米最好。列舉了很多的優點,那位作者可以和這個理論一下。

第五條,居家型男人。居家型不等於自閉型。兩人相處總會有這樣那樣的摩擦。如果男人一天到晚在外麵很少回家和自己搶電視的話,那麽心中會不會出現其他的抱怨?想起一句話,“忽見枝頭楊柳色,悔叫夫婿覓封侯”。

前些天看到一篇報道,日本女性的擇偶標準由“三高”轉向“三低”,不再是高學曆高收入高個子,而是低姿態、低風險、低束縛。(注釋:“低姿態”是指懂得尊重女性,了解女性需求和想法的男性,像美容師、社會工作者等都被認為懂得女性心理。此外,沒有年齡偏見的男性也大受歡迎,姐弟戀的情形比以前多,有國際觀的男性或有「女士優先」觀念的外國男性也頗受歡迎。「低風險」指的是低失業率的工作,像公務員、擁有專業資格執照的人。固然高收入人人稱羨,但是相對的風險也高,日本長期的不景氣也造成許多人中年失業,單身女性可能因此覺得細水長流的穩定收入還比較實在。「低束縛」即不互相束縛,尊重彼此的生活隱私和活動空間,婚後仍然可以發揮自己的所學和專長。低束縛的想法也開始出現在建築設計上,現在日本很多室內設計師在設計時,還會考慮配合男女需求不同,提供夫妻各自的活動空間。)

我想,這五條從字麵理解和這個三低標準有些相似,但是隻是表麵相似,內涵迥異。

婦女解放運動以來,女人在各個方麵爭取著平等的待遇。可是從心理上說,對於婚姻中的安全感的需求,至少是東方人來說,還是沒有改變。從高到低的走向,也隻能說明女人不得不在這個疲憊浮躁的社會,放低了標準,以換取著安全感。

如果具備這5條的男人一樣可以給予安全感,女人何樂而不為呢?
