The lament of the average guy

I laughed out loud the first time I heard the song because of the way the title is manipulated.
Chai Klang is the main character from the period novel “Ban Sai Tong”, the perfect man that every girl dreams about. But while the word klang means “middle” in the context of the novel, the song twists it to mean “average”.
This average guy believes a beautiful woman remains single because she’s too choosy, so he invites her to stop seeking perfection and date someone who’s just average.
I got to thinking about why a beautiful woman would spurn an average man. Maybe she’s just waiting to see if he’s in fact good enough for her.
I have a dee friend who once dated lots of guys, and she totally agreed with me. She also thought the song must have been had been written by a man behind the times, who thought every woman must have husband.
Here, she said, we have a guy who fancies a beautiful woman even though he’s just average, so he uses gaming strategy – offering her a better chance at happiness (at winning the game) if she chooses him.
But he doesn’t realise that not every single woman is looking for Mr Perfect. All his dream girl wants is a good match for her. If Mr Average weren’t overestimating himself, he’d know that “average” isn’t the point.
Since he believes every woman must have a husband, he’s regarding women as mere sex machines, and that’s a more plausible reason why they shun him. He’s just plain rude, my friend decided.
And that, she added, is why she has a tom husband. She’s bisexual, so she might be drawn back to a relationship with a man, but experience has taught her to be more careful about men.
It occurred to me that her bisexuality had taught her more about people, and ensured that she evaluates people by what’s inside. That’s why she could critique Mr Average so wisely – and why she can do without men.
All those articles you come across that purport to teach men how to “convert” lesbians into heterosexuals come from the same belief system that went into this song.
Many men try to seduce women in the belief that every woman needs a husband. They concoct tactics to appear good enough to be chosen. It’s regrettable that they don’t know my dee friend. Then they might understand that women are choosy because they know what’s best for them.
