The Ugly Truth: LIVE on Pirate Radio!

You’ve seen this movie right called “The Ugly Truth” where Gerard Butler takes a no bullsh*t approach to giving women romantic advice on a TV show? So I decided to do something similar on Pirate Radio this Saturday and have asked a few of my (single) male friends to come and host the show with me! (Plus DJ Shaan is going to select the playlist so that should be bumping.) But here’s the rub: They MUST tell the truth, good bad or ugly about anything you ask them. So now’s our chance ladies to discover the answer to questions that have plagued us about boys through the ages. And gentlemen, I suggest you tune in to hear your buddies spill the beans and see if you agree… (this will of course be an on-going series and we’ll get the girls to return the favor on another Saturday) for now post your questions in the comments below to reserve a spot on the show!
Tune in May 15th, 10pm – midnight to 94.3 Radio One when you can also call in LIVE on (022) 66943943, SMS ONE <space><your message> to 53650 or Twitter me @MissMalini.
She Says: I am not desperate!
[pause]
She Says: Why, did you think I sounded desperate?
He Says: Listen to you. Desperately asking me if you sounded desperate?
I feel this exchange of dialogue in “The Ugly Truth” perfectly surmises the predicament most women find themselves in when they like a guy, which is why a little strategic suggestion (from the guys themselves) is just what we need, dotchya think?!

I am SO gonna ask the boys, why is it that there is always this one girl in their lives that broke their heart and now they are never going to be the same… uff so annoying. Why do those girls always get to the boys first?
Also what’s the best way to keep a guy hooked, straight up!

Such a fun idea! Who are your three boys (guests?) Nads would make a good one. :p
May 11th, 2010 at 4:18 pm
Hahaha good point! Have to ask them if they want me to reveal their identities :) post your questions here should be pretty fascinating stuff!

post a fight-regarding ‘At what stage are we?’ If the is trying to be nice despite clarifying that he is at no stage to make it serious yet, what does it mean?
is the guy trying to be nice because he likes the girl genuinely and wants to keep dating albeit indefinitely or should the girl who has expressed interest in furthering the relationship just leave as she feels humiliated for putting herself out there?

Are all men truly commitment phobic? Or is it something the media (read hollywood) has taught them??
May 11th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
Oh and what is the deal with men being allowed to be friends with members of the opposite sex or their exes but the women they date are expected to be exclusively theirs and theirs alone?

Loving it ladies! Can’t wait to get some answers :) xoxo

The young ones are, that’s for certain. Boys don’t become men until age 24 at the youngest. Go for an older guy if you want stability and commitment. And sexuality CANNOT compel a man into a committed relationship no matter how hot you are. (Unless you’re a don’s daughter and you get pregnant…re: Kaminey.)

Super fun idea!! Too bad I can’t tune in:( But I do have a question: Is it true that men don’t have the word “sleazy” in their dictionary and for them everything is either a) sexy or b) sexier? And if they do..where exactly do they draw the line between sexy and sleazy?? :P
Is there any way you can record this for all of us to hear?
May 12th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
Sure thing Splurgerina I’ll post all the links in the pirate radio archives :)

Yay!! This is so fun, and considering that its you hosting it I’m sure you won’t let it venture into sleazy territory the way the show Gerald Butler hosted did (considering that every single US movie critic was disgusted with how crude and regressive the movie was)
How about: How do (if they do) men differentiate between wether a woman is hook-up/ dating/ marriage material?
How much do men know about what they must do to be good boyfriends/ husbands? (you could do a quiz with hypothetical situations)
Do men like it when a woman insists on splitting the bill/ paying for them occasionally?
What type of women do men like the most: girly girls who are slightly airheaded/ confident, sophisticated women who’ve achieved something/ risk-taking tomboys/ the domestic helpless kind/ the girl next door?
P.S:- If the answers start getting really chauvinistic and superficial, please make sure you stand up for us women won’t you? (even if its just making a few jokes at how unattractive their answers are) :P

Haha Jaya 100% no sleaze and for sure will call them out if they act lame, these are such super questions will ask them for sure :) The quiz is a good idea too will ask them what they think makes girls happy and we’ll get people to comment on whether they are right or all wrong! xoxo

Fantastic blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused .. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks! Yup WordPress is pretty great and I’ve been very happy with it, so give it a whirl!
