Backwoods Men
Here are some of the answers given by 4 randomly chosen men to the question "What do you envy most about married men?" posed by Cleo Magazine:
That they are more stable financially, and can focus on their job as all the necessities are taken care off - Mr. B. Ibrahim, 19
They have someone to share everything with. They have a wife who can cook and do the laundry - Mr. B. Bakhri, 20
That they've someone who'll care for them when they fall sick and love them no matter how ugly they look - Mr. Subramaniam. 31
Their lives are taken care of by their wives. It also seems they are happier, more matured and rational - Mr. Chai, 21
Now why do I find something inherently wrong in their comments? Hmm...let me see...is it just me or hasn't the world progressed in terms of equality between the sexes? I have just the answers to slap them back with...
Mr B Ibrahim, men marry only after they become financially stable. Being married doesn't make them suddenly rich! And who's the one that'll be taking care of all the necessities? Your nanny?
Mr B Bakhri, your maid can also do the cooking and laundry. Will you dispose off your wife once you get a maid?
Mr Subramaniam, Kudos! One of the better answers...yet do you really marry only to get security from being considered ugly?
Mr Chai, what do you mean by their lives are taken care of by their wives? Do you mean wash your undies, feed you, go to work for you, brush your teeth for you? *rolls my eyes*
Where did CLEO find these boys? Honestly!
PS: One of the first trance songs I listened to that I liked! Brings back memories of my first ever Chicago trip with Dawn, Marcus, Chia etc. Oh the constant replaying of this song in our rented mobile coffin (PT Cruiser)!

I have a cousin married to a Jap who is 7 years older than he is, and now they're living in the states. So now my aunts warned me not to get a girl there because I will have to do as much chores as my wife. Honestly, I wanted to tell them that I don't mind at all. Funny how the old people still think that way.
Look at their age; they probably just finish SPM or STPM for crying out loud. Hence the rather masochist opinion. The better commentor, Mr. Subramaniam on the other hand is the oldest and more matured which kinda explains the more matured answer.
Very old school tune!! I like I like!!
I generally think that Malaysia's men are a little behind the times in terms of gender equality.
ck: old ppl is forgivable bcoz they grew up thinking that's the way it should be...but at least u dun think tat way la...hahaha
