Cute And Cuddly

Received the first official complaint yesterday that my posts are getting too long. Will strive to keep this one short.

Since school began this year, I have heard at least three independant proclamations from various girls that they prefer their boyfriends to be 'cute and cuddly', rather than muscle bound. According to them, meaty boyfriends are nicer to hug, and are warmer in general.

Hello. Soft toys and blankets exist for a reason.

Indeed, this revelation has greatly vexed me. Whatever happened to the over-hyped six-pack alpha male we see in the media, the one who gets all the babes? Isn't he the default embodiment of manhood?

Last night, Haoyun mentioned Panda Xiong's weight, and told me that if ever we got further in our relationship she wants me to be as 'prosperous' as he is. If you haven't read the papers, at his recent wedding Panda looked like this, up 40kg a few years ago to 100kg now.

(If you don't know who he is, you can read more about him here)

Males don't handle mixed signals well. If you want us to be walking rocks or tottering marshmellows, just tell us. Clearly, please.
