define: gwapo. [part 3]
here's the third of the series. the feedback since the first and the second has been of much help - and yes, yes, i'm incorporating yours into the list. they're all listed in the fourth. c;
at this point, i'd like to explain that these categorizations, each taken separately, may or may not make or break it for the fellow in question. one trait may want the girl to go "daym, i want him bad," the other may only go so far to as make the girl take a second look.
the sudden rage of hormones, or the double take, might only actually mean something if the guy has reached the gwapo level that will be described at #45. c;
moving on:21] promdi gwapo: simple lang ang buhay. period. almost all of my guy friends, fortunately, are promdi gwapo. so, my definition of this might just be a tad too inexperienced. baka merong mas may alam? c;
i'm guessing the non-promdi gwapo would be the type to go gimik-all-the-time, to think sunsets are boring, or to estimate good dates to cost at least P1,000. go figure.
22] familiar gwapo: we talk about two kinds of familiarity that breeds, not contempt, but interest:
1] he's familiar because you're with him all the time;
2] he's familiar because, although you haven't met him, you see him all the time.
ergo, to get some of them interested, you have to be around fairly most of the time. c;
23] law-student gwapo: this is obviously a recent insertion. haha.
this has something to do, of course, with the intellectual/smart gwapo complex, as well as that which i will later on describe at #38.
as to why they deserve a separate category altogether, ehrm, don't ask. [kanya-kanyang listahan lang yan. haha. :p]
i've been however told of a popular theory that male law students are babaeros. we have yet to test that, folks.
24] geek gwapo: yes, we all love geeks. c;
this fascination has something to do with, yet again, the intellectual/smart gwapo, the rockstar/musician/artist gwapo, the mysterious gwapo, and dare i say... see #26 below. c;
it's that general vibe that them geeks are waaaay out of our league.
officially, [well, or not] wikipedia would have us believe that a geek is generally "a person with a devotion to something in a way that places him or her outside the mainstream."
25] been-around gwapo: "he knows what he's doing. siya bahala sakin. he'll take care of me."
do not abuse this by telling her about all of the boinkfests you've gone to, i tell you, lest you be charged of being, let me put it roundly, a manwhore. this trait is actually almost always a turn-off.
and zee gels yuzwali go for zee...
26] virgin gwapo: conversely: "ako bahala sa kanya." haha.
but seriously, this can conveniently coincide with the idea na he's probably not atat to get in your pants. although the opposite may actually be the case because of the nature of the circumstances. haha.
but seriously again, the virgin gwapo can be understood to be one who does not look to get it on [read as: getitown!] before everything else.
27] biker gwapo: i've only met two bikers in my life. and although iba naman ang kina-gwapo nila, both of them claimed with hold-you-by-the-collar conviction: lahat ng biker, gwapo. haha. care to explain, boys?
28] in-uniform gwapo: see the following: maporma gwapo, boss gwapo, malinis gwapo. perhaps, even the gentleman/mabait gwapo. c; ooh, let HIM take charge. haha.
29] med-student gwapo: yes, they deserve a separate category. just 'cause. haha.
iba ang dating ng uniform ng med student. of course, the presumption of being intellectual/smart gwapo would be a factor.
and perhaps this works also because the girl could think: "he will always take care of me." [whatthe. haha.]
30] blogger gwapo: ah, yes. technology at its finest.
a guy's online persona as a blogger may, albeit unknowingly, be attractive enough to get female readers hooked.
this rather novel type of fascination i noticed at the the jester-in-exile's blog. i take it that the wonder is entirely because of his blogging prowess, as he claims that he has not met any of them in person.
click on the following for illustrations. see the comments for the confessions of admiration, to say the least. c;
a] The Journal of The Jester-in-Exile: Dear Kuya Jester
b] Ask The Jester-in-Exile: Prettynometry
