The art of MCP

he Art of MCP.

MCP is an acronym which stands for Male Chauvinist Pig. In order to fit into this category, you must

1. Always insist you are right.

2. Make every decision.

3. Be stubborn

4. Confused on what actually went wrong.

5. And never admit your mistake.

Before I go on to explain how this term came out. Perhaps I can describe the different demographics between a man and a woman using 3 theories. They are

· Accounting Theory

· Terms and Condition subject to changes

· The Gambling theory

The difference between a guy and a girl when it comes to accounting is that a guy will always “close the account” on a daily basis whereas a girl uses accrual basis. This means that if a guy ends of a day without his girlfriend complaining or quarrelling, you would assume that all is fine. Of course that’s a wrong assumption because what girl does is she will “accrue” over a period of time and strikes when the time is right. This means that what she’s unhappy might be donkey years ago but somehow or rather it will be presented in the current “financial statement”.

Terms and condition refers to STRICTLY no provision in any changes. In simple terms, this mean that you are not allowed to make any deviation from the plans that you have promised to do. “For instance, you promised to take her to the beach over the weekend, however due to some unforeseen circumstances, you postponed your plan” Well, this is not acceptable under the 10 commandments of pathology. ( PAT THO means dating in dialet) You might have the best of reasons, but still it is strictly prohibited.

The next theory that I am going to describe is called the gambling theory. In games such as poker or texas hold’em, there are strategies whereby you can either split the cards (CAI PAI) or joint your cards for a advantage in the game. Well you might come across situations whereby you are certain that you are going to win this particular quarrel but the other party can split the cards(means telling you that it is a separate matter and you are in the wrong!) or joint the cards( means telling you that what do you have to repeat your mistake from your previous incident).

However, I beg to defer. In my opinion, MCP stands for Manly Charismatic and Personality. Anyone that is deemed a MCP should be proud of it. Even the biggest company in the world has a terms and condition that states subject to changes and is incapable of fulfilling their obligations at times, thus its natural to have provisions for the statements that we have made(it’s okay to break a promise due to a valid reason)

Secondly, if you ever give birth to a boy and when he’s old enough to learn spelling, the only time he can score 9/10 is when you forbit to teach him the world “PROMISE”. This would save him from unnecessary if anyone blames him in the future. He can proudly say “Promise? “I never learnt that in school.

Well, as the saying goes, Nan Ren Bu Huai, Nu Ren Bu Ai. (Man not bad, girls don’t like). So the next time you are labeled a MCP, Smile and receive the compliments graciously, you are one step to becoming the next best thing !
