Jokes aside, I think girls are just as bad. As a matter of fact, most Malaysians have a communication issue. Here are two of my latest encounter.
The first, trying to meet up with someone for completely non-sexy stuff. A friend.
Me: Can I go to the shop at 4pm?
Her (slim and sexy): Huh? Why so late?
This is when I have to cool down. What the fuck kind of answer is that. If 4pm is late, how the eff am I to know what time is a good time for her? If I suggested 8am, it could have been: Why so early? What's next? Suggest 3.59pm? We could go on the whole day guessing. Why can't she just suggest a time, and make the conversation meaningful. This is a clear case of focusing on the problem, but not on the solution.
Case 2: Well, this is just dinner. She's pretty and is a senior MarCom manager. God - how did she get into communications? Or perhaps, that's how she skirts around issues. Oh yeah - great body and fantastic in bed.
It started with a call to her, the night before. No answer. SMS, no answer. Next day, I SMS her again at 10am. Finally, she responded at 11am "In shower".
Her: In shower.
Me: Since last nite? Must be a lot of fun in the shower, although I prefer the bed.
Me: So, can we meet up for dinner?
Her: Do you like Indian food? How hot can you take?
What the... firstly, I just assume that means she is OK for dinner. I asked if she is OK for dinner, the reply is do I like Indian food? Eff. And how do you describe how hot can one take? Should I reply "Oh, I can enjoy food as long as it is below 500 Scoville". No shit - there is a Scoville scale to measure how hot (as in spicy) food is.
Instead, I replied: As hot as you are, I will be OK. Let's go to a place in Jalan <>. OK with you? I will pick you up at 8pm.
Her reply: Is it <> or <>? I can drive then and meet you there.
My reply: It's <>. It's on the way, so, I can pick you up. 8pm ok?
Her reply: You are my friend, not my driver.
What the fuck. This is now 4pm. And no, I still could not bloody get a time. Sure, gals are known to be late because they wanna look good. But, look at the answers and the questions. It's completely random. If the time is not OK, suggest another time. I am no dictator. Instead, she just went round the bush.
I am not a great communicator. But hey, to the very least, learn how to answer the bloody question. Then, please learn how to focus on the solution instead of the problem. Sigh.
