Help Her Carry Her Load
Before I begin, I would like to thank D W for mentioning this blog on his blog of beautiful writings. I am just doing my best to help the blokes :)
You know there is this unique thing about girls/ladies/women.
We like to carry things wherever we go. Even if it's a small, tiny little purse. It may be for security. Even at this day and age when Motorola's V3 or VISA tries to convince us that the phone alone or the VISA card is our best companion, we still need to carry something with us wherever we go.
Sometimes for some reason (shopping, helping someone...) we had to carry large amount of stuffs in plastic bags or big carriers, it would be a very nice, in fact very gentlemanly gesture, for the guy friend to help carry those big items for us.
(For the record: I am not into a guy carrying his girlfriend's handbag. THAT is an entirely different thing. I am not in favour of that actually.)
I am quite baffled at why some Singaporean guys still have their hands in their pockets, or stand around with their arms folded when they see their female friends or colleagues trying to juggle their own big bag along with the other shopping bags or other stuffs all by themselves. In fact, "baffled" is an understatement. I am angry when I see that.
I mean, c'mon. Surely they are not waiting for the girls to cry "HELP!" before they stretch out their gym-trained arms to help the damsel in distress? I know it's not by their choice that their gal pals looked like they just bought the entire rack of clothes from Mango. Still, I find it quite disturbing that some guy friend of mine would actually stand and watch us drown in our baggages. Singapore men! What are you looking at? Save the damsel in distress!
Have a good school holiday week ahead!
