Why do they like such a gal?

(About how foreigners like Indonesian women who look like my maids)

A: Why do you think Jo likes that kind of girl? You’ve seen his girl friend, right?

B : Hey don’t judge. Maybe that girl is smart. You don’t know her that well, beautiful.

I shut my mouth. When it comes about how I made comments to other woman I often shut my mouth when he finds it intimidating and contains a sharp-tongue word.

When you choose your woman there’s a package right? Beautiful but dumb. Ugly but smart. But would you choose ugly and dumb all in one? Okay, it’s about preferences. It’s about feeling. But please, before you show-off your ugly & dumb girlfriends … Guys, you should do a make-over and a training first for her so then she would make a good-non-embarrassment appearance in front of … the people. Which can be your employer, your friends, or worst your exes? *lol*. And believe me, I did this to one of my friend’s girlfriend. And there’s nothing wrong with that. The point is she or he has to realize that she or he needed a make-over. Whatever the reason is, it is not comfortable when you were stuck in a gala dinner or a wedding reception and you were under-dressed or the opposite. You should be … suitable. And when you’re suitable that’s classy and elegant. That’s timeless.

Jo, whom is a friend of Re is a well-educated expat lived in Indonesia for the past 2 years and dated this woman whom looked so much like …my maid. While Jo is amazingly handsome. Tall, blonde, blue eyes, and earn a lot. :).And see him walking with a woman who looks like my maid was not really comfortable. I was so close to leave Re and shaking Jo’s elbows and shouting, “WAKE UP Prince Jo … WAKE UP!!!!”

And it’s not just Jo. There were several friends of Jo whom also dated Jo’s girlfriend’s friends. There were 3 of them. I had no idea where Re found this group of friends. I don’t judge … Well, maybe a little. It’s not comfortable when you were stuck in this so-called wrong group of friends.

I felt I was overdressed with my jeans, my sleeveless shirt and my flat sandals. O yeah not forget my post man leather bag. I’m not a high-heel sandal gals when I have to go out casually only for coffee or shopping for groceries with my partner. And those ladies … they look like they’re ready for a night out in a Mardi gras parade.

Gees, and I thought we’re having a brunch date. I can’t stand to not make a comment.

So after this brunch date that made my head a little bit dizzy for not accepting how Jo could actually fall for this woman, I discussed it again with him. And along the time it intrigues me to get to know his preferences about women. So I tell him about the packages.

Beautiful but dumb or ugly but smart. Okay, me first. If I were a guy I would choose brain over looks. Why?

If you were smart, why would you want to look not attractive?

But also there is a type of stubborn smart. Where she believed that beauty is from the inside and that cosmetics are toxic. Well, I don’t judge …

But if she were determined to keep her “not so attractive” appearance instead of change some of it so then she would look attractive, no matter how smart she is, she will still look ugly. And stubborn.

And I don’t want to be caught dead with that woman in bed. I just knew it from the start, if I were a guy, I would be a chauvinist prick. Just because I want a smart gal to be my partner, I still want a woman with a nice rack and a beautiful hair. Not forget nice hands and nails. Smart but overweight? No. Smart but does not know how to look good with her clothes? Big no. Smart but dressed like some fashion victim? Go to hell. I’m starting to sound like gays, aren’t I?

So people, balance it please. Enhance your look, enrich your brain.

When I gave him these options, do you want to know which of those 2 he pick? He chose beautiful but dumb. What do you know? He’s a pure chauvinist prick.

And when I asked him why, he answered when you’re beautiful even though you were wearing a training pants and an over-sized shirt, you would still look beautiful. Sometimes no one cares the inside when the packaging was so intriguing. And he said, smart is about learning … it is fixable. Adjustable.

WTF? :P.

What else is new?

And I asked him, “I’m smart and ugly, right? Because I do not want to be known as beautiful but dumb”

He said, “Don’t make me choose. I’m lucky. Stop judging those poor gals who do not look like you. Not even close. My friend fell in love with her gardener and got eloped. Maybe that’s love. Who knows? You and I, we are just not that lucky when it comes about this love bullshit”

I was jaw-dropping. But then he said …

“So, what do you want for dinner? Fillet mignon or my famous vegetarian spaghetti?”
