My grandfather used to talk about how much he loved his wife when they were younger, and that she was the prettiest lady in the kopitiam (coffee shop). She would serve him coffee and he would have stars in his eyes as if he saw an angel for the first time.

He said when I was older I should look out for things that were attractive in a man: one looks, because he wanted good-looking grandkids that other people would be jealous of; two: wealthiness, because he wanted to retire; three: personality, because he'd say I would get out of the house faster.

Guys who are good-looking aren't hard to find with standards this low, but rich guys are hard to find because they are gross, guys with good personality is worse after the guys in my class screams "SHEEEESH" like a hyena.

So, no. I would rather like girls, because they are ultimately better in their lives and the ecosystem then guys, but alas, the heart chooses what they want, so I am unlucky in every single fucking way in relationships.

Then came the anime guys that made my dirt-low standards rise to the fucking top like the highest floor in the Kuala Lumpur Tower that frankly made me shit my pants. 

Those, 2D, sparkly eyed, in another dimension, paper thin boys were out of my reach from my living room to the confinements of the Panasonic TV screen. However, my hearts were still theirs and I have fell into the hole of high expectations coupled with never seeing real men the same way.

Unless they were in a Chinese historical drama with their long hair, and elegant stature, 

Not that important.

Basically, men ain't shit and I couldn't find anything redeemable about them even in my late teens, but that one quote from my grandfather has stuck to me like a moth to a flame, that couldn't stop pestering the mind of a horny teenage girl.

Find something that was attractive in a man.

What did I find attractive? My friends would say answers like: "I like his eyes, because they shine brighter then the bluest sky," or "I like her hair because it's so luscious and long and I would like to comb my hands through it like a flowing river."

No, the only thing I found attractive was the face, like any other person who was in their vanilla crushing phase.

I was vanilla, I can admit that. I proudly admit that I was that one vanilla chick who would read short stories on ao3 while turning my head away while gagging once the every-so cheesy smut scenes came along to grace me with their presence.

In late 2021, this was about to change. I would go from a normal teenage girl to an expert in finding the attractive things in a man. 

With the help of my other Malaysian friend.
