    Another mystery: how did Ulfa manage to snatch a bule?

    Dear Dikkiman,

    I intended to give the subject some serious thought. But unfortunately I was already laughing out loud at “The friend, …”

    Anyway,

    She threaten him with divorce and instead of being allowed to perform manly night-guard duties, like us, he must do housework while she watches “Desperate Housewives”.

    It looks like your an expert on bulwom as well. And I have to admit that in winter I’d rather do inside housework than perform outside night-guard duties ;-)

    A couple of years ago I went to central Sumatra on a business trip to check out some palm oil plantations. I had the pleasure of staying over at one of my uncles (tulang) home.

    Lo and behold he had two housemaids in their early 20′s. One of them is drop dead motherf***in gorgeous…like really HOT! Suffice to say, I had an instant boner (white soft silky skin, sexy long hair, very slim and petite figure, very feminine looking. Contrary to whatever crap that douchebag nguyen was sayin’) and a great cook to top it off.

    I often joke around with other relatives of why does the maid is prettier than the majikan’s wife, lol. I’ve had one of those moments where I think to myself…“man, what if I just take her away and bring her to LA. That would be great! Home-cooked meals everyday”

    Now, on to more serious topic:

    In his country, the woman is tall, White, likes to argue and not follow what he says. She threaten him with divorce and instead of being allowed to perform manly night-guard duties, like us, he must do housework while she watches “Desperate Housewives”.

    The typical bitch above wants to have her cake and eat it too.

    Sad, but true. This social phenomena is called “Feminism” and is very pervasive in the United States. I see it every day. Feminism gives women a false sense of independence and equality (in a different way). Do you guys ever wonder why the divorce rate here is 50% and climbing? It’s at its highest ever since. This is what typically happens: bule man fall in love with sexy looking, and pretty bule woman, they get married, have kids, then it goes downhill from there.

    After first child birth, bule woman cuts her hair short and now that she has a man trapped in marriage, she doesn’t need to maintain her pretty, sexy appearance and stops taking care of herself (gets fat, wear little or no make-up, cut hair short and look like a butch, and watch desperate housewife, soap operas, etc., all day). To top it off, she demands the husband to help with household duties such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, taking care of kids, etc.

    What…you don’t want to cook, clean, and raise our kids? Ok, how bout this: I do the housework, and you go to work and try to run the company, or build a bridge, or work under the sun all day doing construction, or do any manly work? What…you can’t or don’t want to do it? So you just want to stay home all day and do nothing…you’re useless! GTFO!

    After an 8-9 hours working day not including the 2 hour commute, bule man just wants to go home to a pretty sexy wife (so that he is less inclined to cheat and go after other single sexy women) and some good home cooked meals. But instead, he comes home to a fat bule woman that nag, nag, nag, and some nagging, complaining and ohh..yea, PIZZA! WTF!!

    So bule man thinks about divorce…hmm…, loose your home and live in a shitty apartment, 18 years of child support, and a lifetime of alimony (which means half of his paycheck goes to ex-wife). Both option sucks, stay with a crappy wife or divorce.

    So bule man goes to Indonesia and find pretty and sexy housemaids that ACCEPT the traditional role of a wife. Bule man go to work and bring home the bacon, while the wife stays home and do all of her housework HAPPILY while staying slim and looking sexy all day (how do you guys do it? Is it the jamu? Or the senam pagi?). The way I see it, the husband and wife perform their respective functions and now they are EQUAL in VALUE.

    Yes, it’s old school way, but guess what? It works. Please do tell me what is the divorce rate back in 20’s, 30’s or 40’s or even 50’s? I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that it’s very low.

    It’s not that bule man can’t GET a bule woman back home. It’s that there is no QUALITY functional women here back home. They’re all overseas where feminism hasn’t taken root yet (and I hope it never will).

    Granted, there are some bule guys who are just bad with women :) or just have no game at all

    And for the record, I am not old, bald, fat, ugly, nor divorced.

    I am gagah perkasa…hahaha…..

    @ diego

    Another mystery: how did Ulfa manage to snatch a bule?

    the same way as Titi DJ, Ayu Azhari sisters, Anggun C Sasmi, Maudy Koesnady and lots more indoensian woman i guess…. its not something that should be puzzled down.

    Its almost a common thing. And they are not pembantu look i think ! Titi DJ and Maudy was one of the most beautiful indonesian woman on her time. Same with Azhari sisters! so i don’t think all bule after the pembantu looks.

    Its just some bule have.. odd preferences thats all.

    Remember beauty is universal, what you think ugly might be pretty for others.. hehehe

    I just had to read this blog and again I’m stunned. How dare you Dikman? Emang ada ya trend tampang pembantu? kok gitu si? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Your kind of mentality is exactly why human rights movement will never get anywhere in our “developing” country, in particular. Until you have respect for one another and not discriminate/stereotype, Indonesia tidak akan pernah benar-benar bersatu. Hilangkan prejudisme-mu!

    @ Sobhana Yth.,

    You are mistaken.

    LIke the Proklamator Sukarno I love Indonesian woman in all her forms, big, small, tonggos, item, dekil….Astaga and Aduhai !

    I am also an ardent follower and practioner of Pancasilla and the Unity of Indonesia. Even though I am Betawi, a Bongo and air guitar player, and part-time parking collector, I accept as my guru in Seksiness Achmad Sudarsono, a central Javanese.

    I say to you now, Seksi Friend. Merdeka !

    so please de, jangan menghina gitu dong, Pancasila L-nya satu.

    oh, yes, sorry, Subhana, of course, I am better at the manly arts of neighborhood guarding than typing, I apologise. But Subahana, I think you need to work on the gender-neutral art of reading. In my article, I was merely describing the Bule taste. I am very liberal with my affections… Astaga and ADUHAAAAIII !

  10. sobhana Says:
    February 18th, 2010 at 10:30 am

    you called the woman pembantu-look!! copot aja tu kacamata pembantu.

  11. Dikkiman Sujengkol Says:
    February 18th, 2010 at 10:33 am

    Sobhana,

    Why don’t you have a look at the conversation thread on Detik. I think a lot of Indonesians have noticed the taste of the Bulman, not just me. I’m not saying there’s anything bad about the maid look – that’s the point of the article.

    Maybe you think there’s something bad about looking like a maid ?

  12. sobhana Says:
    February 18th, 2010 at 10:43 am

    i know there IS such a job = housekeeping, and seems like you’re the one implying there is a certain look that comes with that. wtf.

  13. Oigal Says:
    February 18th, 2010 at 10:48 am

    Sobhana,

    Don’t waste your time, its just another sad little troll pretending to be a real Indonesian. Some trolls are amusing and funny. Others not worth the time of day, such as this. Its all been done before and much better.

    I am surprised it got an article though, the qaulity control filter must need cleaning.

  14. Dikkiman Sujengkol Says:
    February 18th, 2010 at 10:48 am

    ‘Begini, ‘Nak

    I meant no disrespect to your profession. Not all maids look alike. They come in all shapes, sizes and varieties of the basic template. But you have to admit there’s a widespread perception of Selerbul or Idabul. You must know what I mean by Idabul. I say let a thousand flowers blossom ! It seems to make Bulman happy. It seems to make the Inems of the world happy.

  15. Dikkiman Sujengkol Says:
    February 18th, 2010 at 10:50 am

    Oh, Sobhana – Oigal is a Bulman, by the way.

  16. sobhana Says:

    well i houseclean part-time i guess yes. i clean my own apartment, and when my bf comes over…he helps too, and then we reward each other.

  17. Dikkiman Sujengkol Says:
    February 18th, 2010 at 11:05 am

    Well, Ibu Sobhana Yth., why don’t you ask yr bf what he thinks the typical taste of the Bule is.

  18. Unspun Says:

    Here we go again. Am reminded of the proverb: There is nothing new under the sun; only the history that you do not know. We all know that Indonesia is heaven for the loser type bules who all of a sudden find themselves transformed into, as the Japanese would call it, Charisma man. Indonesia is more neutral for the Jock bule who’s no stranger to admirers. (and if you are a bule woman, kasihan deh as the choices here are pretty paltry, either among bules or Indonesian men) Now lets once again se the loser types expose their Liberal hearts with the cliche arguments ;)

    Mr Unspuns, I also ever write here about Bule Woman or Bulwom.

    i live in the states, so diversity is pretty common. we’re all pretty advanced over here. i’m dating someone with a non-judgmental personality.

  22. Dikkiman Sujengkol Says:
    February 18th, 2010 at 11:20 am

    Yes, I hear those inbred Dwaynes and Marilous who marry their cousins on the Appalachian trail are very advanced.

  23. sobhana Says:
    February 18th, 2010 at 11:29 am

    well i can only speak on behalf of my circle of friends, and to my own defense i must admit some of them can be somewhat a tad bit unconventional but hey it’s cool. we don’t judge.

  24. Unspun Says:
    February 18th, 2010 at 11:41 am

    @sobhana: Everybody that hasn’t had a lobotomy judges. There is a world of difference, however, whether they choose to be judgmental about it.

    Those are some unusual adjectives to describe a “boner”.

    Bule jakarta are nothing to Bule Bali.
    Bule Bali are more sexy, fit and gorgeous and smells nice too.
    Bule Jakarta is more to oom2 bule with giant beer belly. You can find them around Kemang and Cilandak

    Anyway, I have experience dating with Bule Bali, well not exactly dating, perhaps you can say just “icip-icip” or holiday flings. If i want it to be raunchy and dirty and just for one nite stand then i’ll pick blonde guy and some of them are younger than me. YUMMY! and if i want a suave romance, i’ll pick professional from Europe such as Spain, German and Croatia. And i dont date bule karatan either in Bali or Jakarta….oh hell no!

    Bule Karatan is the bule who came to Indonesia for vacation for the first time en then falling in love with Indonesia (Food, Ladies, The way we live etc) and then they decided to move to Indonesia, either to Bali, Jogya or Jakarta. And for example, if they are from Europe they will get social security money monthly which they can use to have a nice life in Indonesia, and f*ck the girl around, party, etc. And once they are contaminated by AYAMS or maybe dating with the kampung girl, they change the way they used to live, think and act.

    Anyways, I dont date bule in Jakarta because i think they are already contaminated by “AYAMS”. Their brain and the way they live is contaminated. Screw them.

    Advanced in the US? Nice joke. I remember my half Dutch, half British niece moving there and upsetting the whole neighbourhood because she was dating a black guy.
    By the way, how do those Dutch words end up in your posts?

    Thank you, wildrosewood.
