My Condolences on Your Marriage

It is traditional for a single man to shudder at the prospect of marriage.  Loss of "freedom" (a.k.a the dreaded "one-gina" disease) Loss of independence ("Thanks guys, but I'll be having a quiet one at home tonight with the missus") Loss of female fans ("oh, Jack? Yeah, he's pretty cute. But he's married.") and so on so forth. Now to some extent (depending on a range of variables), the above mentioned consequences of marriage can and usually are true for most men. But have any of you ever stopped to consider the upside of marriage? Let's face it - most single men spend a large chunk of their energy and money on girls.  We buy nice clothes. We read mens' style blogs. We make sure every strand of...

Brains vs Brawn

One of the oldest questions in the book:Looks? Or Personality? Imagine yourself stuck in the airport due to a delayed flight. You call for a latte in Starbucks, fight your way to the last free couch and triumphantly plop into it. An hour or two later your veins are pumping with caffeine and you muster the courage to talk to that gorgeous girl sitting next to you. Also because you are dying with boredom.It's happened.You went for Looks. We continue:You then find out that the gorgeous girl; aptly named Sarah (after a few minutes of prodding into her life), is that next-door-girl you'd love to bring home to your parents. Dressed in your Sunday best for Sunday roast - you know it would be just perfect.That's Personality.But really, does this ever...

Men of Color

An anomaly has always existed that reinforces the notion that man (woman) is never satisfied.  White people want to become tan people. And tan people (comprised of mostly Asian people) want to become white (fair) people.  I don't know about the blacks though. Y'all be rockin' whatever look God throws at you. Heck, black people are probably the only people who look good with a chrome dome.  But reverting to the matter at hand, we observe that: 7% of women (or men) prefer their men fair. 23% of women (or men) prefer their men to be neither here nor there. A little salt and pepper, as they say. I don't know if that maxim applies to skin color... but anyway, A majority (42%) want their man to be tan (I think I have...

Read This and Never Worry About Money Again

Ladies & Gentlemen,  I'm very proud to introduce a good friend of mine - Joe. Joe is here for one and only one mission - to make sure that you, dear SEFTSG reader, will never have to worry about money ever again.  How is this achievable, you ask? No, Joe is not advocating a get-rich-quick scheme (though this may qualify as a get-rich-gradually scheme). Neither is Joe about to convince you to hand over all your hard earned green/dough/ringgit/dollars to literally leave you with nothing to worry about. What Joe is going to do, is author a three-part series entitled "Getting Started to Managing Your Finances" to equip the average Joe (haha.) with the adequate financial knowledge and skills so that you truly...

Interview with a Shy Guy

Saran prodded me the other day, eager to answer one of womankind's most elusive questions - "What is the way to a shy guy's heart?". Personally, I'm not exactly a shy person, thus I sought answers from the source. I sought out a shy guy. The following individual shall not be named, because he is after all, shy. We will call him Sergio the Shy Senor and this is the raw excerpt of the interview that will answer the age old question "How do you find your way into the heart of a shy guy?" R: Happy New Year Sergio. You do realize that contributing to the advancement of womankind's advances towards mankind will surely be the noblest thing you do this year? S: Undoubtedly so. R: Allow me to spare you any more niceties and get straight...

P to the E to the RM.

Dear Straight Guy, I'm currently letting my hair grow out because I'm thinking of getting a perm. Any advice? Man hug, Max. _________________________________________________________________ Dear manly man Max, Perms can be, contrary to popular straight man notion, a great look. Kudos to you for daring to tread down a path that many regular straight guys shun.  A carefully executed perm can in fact, add handsome texture and volume to your existing style, giving you a more "K-Pop"-ish look (which is in fact, currently all the rage) and thus endearing you to a rather large portion of the South East Asian female demographic. Heck, I wouldn't surprised if white girls started getting yellow fever as well (pretty please?).  That...
