I don’t know what’s wrong with the men nowadays. I think somewhere in their DNA, something went astray. That probably explains why they do not seem to know how to behave properly.

Take for instance the men who exhibit themselves publicly by flashing themselves, engaging in lewd acts and attempting to chat up members of the same sex.

Walking out of the train station a few hours ago was I. Nothing seemed to appear different. The path was the same, the streetlights were the same, the newspaper vendor uncle was there and some of the shops at the MRT station were still open.

I certainly wasn’t prepared for anything to happen. Engaged in my own thoughts after being stood up earlier by a client and wasting one hour of my precious time, I was definitely feeling quite lousy.

Amidst this lousy feeling sprang a man next to me. I really don’t know where he came from. Did he drop from the sky or was he trailing me quietly from behind?

I was of course speechless when I noticed another body barely inches away from me looking at my direction. He stopped me and opened his mouth “can I be your friend?”

I stared at him, this time completely dazed. In fact, I could only manage a weak ‘no’.

Whatever his intentions were, I certainly didn’t invite them. I wasn’t scantily clad, neither was I naked. And most importantly, there wasn’t any slogans or billboard signs on my face screaming ‘flash at me’ or ‘chat me up’. I am really sick of all this unnecessary attention.

I’m sorry guys. Please give me a break!
