There are many things a woman wants her man to do.

Wash the dishes.
“Guess what my tattoo artist said?”
“What…” *senses trouble*
“I can’t get hard soap on my tattoo for 3 weeks, so I can’t do housework OR wash any dishes! So you have to do it.”

To NOT drive like an idiot.
“You know what i saw today?”
“What?”
“I was driving past our traffic light, and saw this IDIOT turn like he was racing, overtaking cars like as if 2 seconds faster is going to make a difference, and i was thinking to myself – what an idiot! – and then… i saw that idiot was YOU  How embarrassing!”

Buy his mate a birthday present.
“What are you getting Matt?”
“Nothing.”
“How can you not get him something? He’s your friend!”
“We’re guys.”
“Still! If he didn’t help you get your job in Malaysia, you wouldn’t have come here and we wouldn’t have met!”
“Whoa whoa whoa!”

Cut his hair.
“Let me trim your chest hair…”
“NO.”
“Pleaseeee, it tickles my face, goes into my nose, and annoys me!”
“It’s my hair. And it makes me a man.”
“You’re already a man to me, my man. Just let me trim it pleaseeeeeeeee”

Care for his skin.
“You have so many lines on your face… *pokes and prods* for your age… y’know?”
“It’s okay, i’ll survive.” 
“But still! Look at the lines… it’ll just get worse if you don’t do something.”

I then pulled the skin at the sides of his face to stretch out the lines.
“imagines* “Wah you look so cute and young!”
“Stop it!”
“Maybe you could get botox in a few years.”
“No way i’m doing that. The men before me didn’t need it, and neither do i.”
“But already you look older for your age, and i look kinda younger for my age, so you look like a dirty old man going out with a young chick!”

I managed to get him to do facials with me.
“Come, i’ll put a facial on for you!”
“Hmm okay.”
*ten minutes later*
“HOW LONG MORE?!”
“It’s done it’s done *wipes it off* See? So smoothhhh! *plants kisses all over*”

Maybe all the going on i do about his face skin got to him,
cos i almost died when he used my expensive moisturizer.

Sorry, but it’s a girl thing…
skincare is so specific for certain types of skin,
and using something that’s particularly for my skin makes it seem a waste on his 
Plus, it’s weird to smell it on him instead of me.

Guys’ skin is generally thicker with higher collagen content,
which is GOOD news cos then it can look firmer for longer.
However, men tend to have oilier skin and sweat more,
plus the regular shaving tends to weaken the skin barrier.

I still want him to use skincare,
just not mine hee hee.

The one person who used to poke and prod my face the most, is my father!
He used to peer at my skin and say, “You ar, going out so much, sleeping so late, you’re going to get wrinkles before you’re 30!”
before chucking me some toner and moisturizer to use.
In turn, he’d also take toner from my room when he ran out, much to my amusement.

If my manly dad and brother can use skincare (plus my brother used to let me pick at his blackheads, gross i know, but oh so satisfying)
i don’t see why my bf can’t.

I would like my man to at least try to slow down aging as much as i do,
so we’d both have less wrinkles and lines as we age.
Just as how he likes me to look nice for him,
I’d like him to look nice for me too 

Luckily for him (and me), there’s a new skincare to be released in the market that’s specifically for men, and it’s not at an extortionate price.
I emailed the image (it’s Olay Men Solutions) to Clem and asked whether he’d use it,
and he replied that it looks ‘manly enough’

I asked my brother what he thought, seeing he buys more skincare than Clem.
“Whatchu think?”
“Packaging looks nice… nicer than others i see out there.”

Phew. This could be a solution to my problem!

We all know of Olay,
the brand has more than 5 decades of expertise in skin
so hooray that they’ve finally made a skincare range for men!

Olay Men Solutions targets at three skin issues males experience:
– oiliness
– roughness
– uneven skin tone

The key ingredient they use helps:
– reduce excess sebum
– increase hydration
– reduce yellowness and dark spots
– decrease spots and improve wrinkles

Best of all, it’s said to smell like a guy 

I don’t think it’s weird to obsess about my man’s face, is it?
Do *you* obsess about your man’s facial skin?
Or anything else about him in particular? 

I consider myself lucky cos i don’t have much to complain about Clem.
He’s clean, sensitive, considerate,
takes into account what i prefer him to wear,
stresses out about presents for me,
gets along fantastic with my friends,
and isn’t in any way flirtatious with other women.

There’s only one little thing – he doesn’t listen to me at random times.
I can be repeating to him where and what time an event we’re to go to/meet our friends.
And on the day before, he’d go, “You didn’t tell me!”
And i’ll be like, “You’re kidding right. I TOLD you twice, i even put the invite ON THE TABLE next to your keys, how can you say you don’t know!”

Then he’ll take advantage of my awesomely realistic dreams and say, “Maybe you DREAMT you told me, and you know how real your dreams are, then you thought you did.”

I used to pause for a moment in doubt,
before remembering VERY CLEARLY and indignantly it wasn’T a dream,
and that i DID.

Take advantage of my wonderful dreams!?
Hmph! 

Does your man listen to you?
How do you think men should talk or listen to you?
And guys, what do you have to say for yourself, huh!
