Wangi Men

‘He looks so wangi. And his hair, omigod...it makes me wanna run my fingers through it. Don’t even mention the eyes. Sigh..’, I said, explaining why I go ga-ga over Robert Downey Jr.

‘What do you mean when you say a guy ‘looks’ wangi anyway?’, he asked.

I told him I can’t draw a definite line between wangi and busuk guys. I just know one when I see one.

He insisted to know in which category he falls into and I instantaneously, without a doubt, said ‘Busuk!’

Ok, now lemme enlighten you on what I think is wangi and busuk.

1. The ‘clean’ understandable hair-which means that by just looking at it, I understand whether the hair is parted in the middle, side, or not parted at all. Un-understandable hair is when I it’s scruffy or too greased up that it lose its original charm. Un-understandable hair is also the kind of hair a guy has on his head, as a fashion statement (coloured, braided, ‘pacak’ed) or hair that is impossible to run your fingers through. Think make out sessions girls-you don’t wanna kiss him and run your fingers through hair which grease will stick to your hand (ee-yew) or hair that hasn’t been touched by shampoo for so long (super ee-yew).

2. The ‘clean’ understandable clothes-easy lines, easy cut. I really hate it when men wear clothes to show off, they signal lack of confidence in themselves, although I do believe the reason the style up is because of the opposite-to show confidence. Unfortunately guys, those bling bling rantai you have attached to those jeans, or that super tight tees that show your nipples, aren’t really tasty. They attract the wrong attention. Why bother to tell the world you got nipples or a bulging tummy or a bulging whatever? We girls have better looking nipples and worth-the-show curves. So save us the visual explanation. Also men who wear their mothers’ rags as their day-to day attire, men who have BO, dirty finger nails and even dirtier shoes.

3. The ‘clean’ attitude-charming smile. You don’t have to have symmetrical features or traffic stopping 6-pack, you just have to be genuine and sincere when you smile, and that, my dears, can get the attention of any girl or any girl’s mother. Scores big time.

Now, these are the men whom I think ‘look’ wangi:
1. Robert Downey Jr.
2. Heath Ledger
3. Tom Cruise
And the Busuk men are:
1. Collin Farrell
2. Jack Black
3. All the men in My Name Is Earl






But of course, 'busuk' is sometimes used to express affection, which is cute :)
