\"\"<\/a>To counterbalance my earlier post<\/a>, I decided to blog about something more fluffy today. Reader Pauravi emailed this link<\/a> to the bunker with the following message:<\/p>\n\n

So finally, there is a calendar us South Asian women can feast our eyes on :). Enough of the gawking at scantily clad women, check this out!<\/em><\/blockquote>\n\n

I was swamped at work on Friday so I had one of the monkeys take a look to give me his expert opinion:<\/p>\n\n

The calendar is SO worth a looksie…I went through all 50 men and honestly I don’t have any drool left yet. <\/em><\/blockquote>\n\n

So what exactly is this calendar, you ask? Asiana Magazine<\/a> — a UK lifestyle and bridal magazine for Asian women — has a feature on the “ultimate 50 single Asian men in Britain<\/a>.” Each man’s photo comes complete with an interview and biodata such as age, profession, car that he drives, and salary range. (Am I the only one who finds the last two kind of tacky?)<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/a>I’m all for the objectification of beautiful brown men (such as this<\/a> one, this<\/a> one, and this<\/a> one). But in this publication, I found the interviews much more entertaining than the photos. Take, for example, the priceless interview with Rehan Bhatt:<\/p>\n\n

Age:<\/span> 28 \n\nDrives:<\/span> Lotus & BMW\n\nBiggest turn-off:<\/span> Women that judge a man by the car he drives.\n\nYour ex would describe you as\u00c2\u2026 <\/span>The greatest real dream she ever had. She actually said that!\n\nPulling outfit?<\/span> I\u00c2\u2019m not that vain but jeans, crisp shirt and my pink g-string never fails!\n\nMost outrageous thing you\u00c2\u2019ve ever done:<\/span> I got randomly attacked once so I chinned the guy, only the guy turned out to be a butch lesbian.<\/blockquote>\n\n

Translation: I want a woman to like me for me. But in case any of you are wondering, I drive a BMW. I’ve also beaten up a woman. Call me. \"\"<\/a>Aman Chohan, however, was much more self-deprecating:<\/p>\n\n

Your ex would describe you as\u00c2\u2026<\/span> an arsehole. Other than that, it\u00c2\u2019ll all be good things.\n\nTeen heartthrob:<\/span> Tia from Sister Sister. What are the chances she reads Asiana? Hook me up!<\/blockquote>\n\n

\"\"<\/a>My favorite profile is that of Aash Aneel:<\/p>\n\n

Worst quality:<\/span> I forget things. Like any bad qualities I may have, for instance.\n\nHow many times have you said I love you?<\/span> After a few too many drinks, sure, but then you only have to count if you get arrested.\n\nMost outrageous thing you\u00c2\u2019ve ever done:<\/span> Danced with a Christmas tree I found on the streets. I may have said I love you to the tree but there was no awkward moment the next day.<\/blockquote>\n\n

He’s cute and<\/span> he has a sense of humor. My kind of guy.<\/p>\n\n

Take a look at the publication<\/a> yourself. The photos are tasteful and safe for work. And the interviews will make you smirk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
