AIESEC: It's alot like dating

While looking through the brandsite for AIESEC, I browsed through a file for AIESEC and our brand promise. It was then that I had to check my eyesight.

Heck. AIESEC has sooooo much advice on dating for guys.

You don’t believe me? Let’s just go through the brand promise for AIESEC.

1. Activating Leadership.

If you’re dating, somehow or rather you’re going to have to be a leader. A relationship has to be dynamic! You can expect one party to continuously be passive, while the other is aggressive. Thus, you have to activate your leadership and lead your partner.

Especially since every question you ask will be answered with ‘whatever la’, ‘never mind’, and ‘up you you’. Of course, be ready to face the consequences when your decision is not the same with the one she had already made in her head.

2. Demonstrating Integrity

If you’re in a relationship, you have to demonstrate integrity. Nobody likes it when their partner constantly lies to them. Be honest with your words, feelings, and opinions.

However, if she asks you if she looks fat in that dress, for the love of God and all that’s holy LIE TO HER.... I mean, use your common sense. Unless you don’t mind suffering from a failed relationship (and several broken bones.)

3. Living diversity

Living diversity. But since this is a two person relationship, this means that you must always take into consideration the diverse opinions that the both of you have. It’s no fun if only one person has all the say on opinions like world politics or if Siti Nurhaliza married the wrong man.

But then again, if she feels strongly about a certain topic, then just nod your head and say yes or risk losing your balls. Ermm, what I meant was a frayed relationship.

4. Enjoying participation
Enjoy the participation in your relationship. You shouldn’t feel that your relationship is a chore, but a blessing. Be happy and support all the dates or things that your girl likes to do.

This, of course, includes watching chic flicks, following her when she goes shopping, paying for the things she bought during her shopping, as well as being abused when it’s that time of the mon-.........., when she needs the emotional support from you.

5. Striving for excellence.

Always strive for excellence. It’s never good to rest on just a relationship, but always try to find ways to make your already great relationship better!

Sure, you might have to spend a lot of time, money, energy, more time, and more money, as well as no more watching the EPL, no more futsal, partying with friends, going to mamak sessions late at night, and freedom as you know it. But it’s worth improving your relationship!

6. Acting sustainably.

Always act sustainably. You should always thing about the future and how to sustain your relationship.

This means saving your money and refrain from buying wasteful stuff like that new cell phone, that pair of Adidas Predator shoes, the 3D card for your laptop, or fresh meals from restaurant in favour for instant noodles. The money can be banked and then used to buy stuff like roses, chocolates, and the 97th pair of shoes for your dear gal. And it’ll be worth every cent, if you want to sustain your family tree in the near future.
