Genuinely needing some perspective here because I’m experiencing the ultimate Monkey’s Paw situation.
So, context: I’m a local SG guy, currently finishing up my final year at NUS. A few months ago, I somehow managed to level up my riyal estate and started dating this absolute goddess of an international student from China (PRC). Bro, when I say she is a solid 11/10, I mean it. Looks like those Douyin influencers—flawless porcelain skin, 170cm, sharp features, dressed like she stepped off a Shanghai runway. When we walk around MBS or Orchard, every single guy turns their head. I thought I won life, honestly. Absolute peak heng ong huat.
But guys, there is a catch. A very hairy, very long catch.
Last weekend, she came over to my house to study. She was wearing this oversized, sleeveless tank top. She raised her arms to stretch, and my soul literally left my body. I am not exaggerating—her armpit hair was longer than mine. It was a whole ecosystem under there. It was so long and silky that I swear, if you give her a mini comb, she can put a middle parting or do a braid.
I sat there totally stunned like vegetable. Apparently, it’s a cultural thing or personal choice for some girls there? Like, natural beauty, don’t want to damage the skin, or whatever. I respect that, truly. But my brain is having a massive error 404 trying to reconcile this ultra-glam, high-maintenance fashionista look with the full-on caveman situation happening in her pits. Whenever we are doing something intimate, I look down and I get distracted because I feel like the hair is staring back at me.
I want to suggest IPL or even just a basic trimming, but how to say without sounding like a toxic, controlling local brat? I don’t want to hurt her feelings or cause a diplomatic crisis. But every time she lifts her arms, I feel like I’m looking at Juon.
Is this a dealbreaker, or am I just being a typical picky Singaporean strawberry? Please advise.
