"Angmohs make better boyfriends"
Article extracted from Cleo August issue, Charlene Tan 23

If we girls had to list the qualities we want in a man, it'd probably read like this:
Confident, spontaneous, independent, open-minded and romantic. We all know what we want
and are not willing to compromise on our expectations. So don't judge me when i say this, but Caucasian men fit the bill. It's not that local men don't possess these traits, but let's face it - it's rare breed who do. Either that or i haven't had the priviledge of meeting them. And it doesn't help that my friends who date local men are incessantly complaining about their boyfriends.

Contrary to the stereotype that girls go out with Caucasian men just for flings, I've had stable and meaningful relationships with all my ex-boyfriends. I met my current boyfriend at a party, and we've been going out for two years now. I find Caucasian men going out for two years now. I find Caucasian men more fun and carefree. They're way more romantic and are willing to put in the effort to plan adventurous and exciting dates. You're never going to get a "Let's get a HDB flat together" from them, that's for sure. It makes my day whenever my boyfriend showers me with compliments, telling me how lucky he is to have me, and how beautiful I am. It's all in the details, guys. It's appalling that local men just don't get it.

It might be that Caucasians are used to speaking their minds, but also find relationships with them to be more open and trusting. My friends often tell me their boyfriends demand to know where they're goign and what they're doing. But my boyfriend has always given me the space i need. He doesn't gripe when i go on my girls' nights out. maintaing a relationship with my girlfrfiends is important to me, and the last thing i want is for me to stop seeing them just because i have a boyfriend. I appreciate that he trusts and respects me enough to let me make my own decisions. I'm an independent girl, and i want to go out with someone who accepts.

The more conservative female might think that Caucasian menare a wild and crazy bunch, and that if they were to bring one home, their parents would totally freak out. But let me assure you that bringing them home isn't a problem because all the guys i've brought back to meet my girls have been nothing but respectful.

Plus, they're also unfailingly sociable and charming. The first time my boyfriend met my parents, it was totally unexpected. We had popped by my place to pick something up, and it turned out that my entire extended family was there having tea. That would have been intimidating for most guys, but he simply walked up and introduced himself. We even ended up staying for tea. His outgoing nature also means he makes it point to get to know all of my girl friends and they love having him around. On the other hand, whenever my friends' boyfriends join us, they tend to sit in a corner and keep quiet.

It's that spontaneity and initative that local men lack. And it's painfully apparent even though even through the little things. Case in point: When it get crowded on the bus and they want you to move aside so that they can get in, rather than simple "Excuse me", they'll stare you up and down, as if you can mind-read. And when you finally move aside, they roll their eyes at you as if you had deliberately stood in their way. It's characteristics like these that put me off local men.

If i manage to find a Singaporean man who meets my requirements, i'd be more than willing to give it a shot. But so far, none have come close to what an angmoh guy can offer me. back to top?
