Tipe-tipe bule Jakarta
April 30th, 2007 by buledepokSetelah memuat artikel tentang kategori orang Indonesia yang tinggal di luar negeri (yang membuat beberapa orang tersinggung) sekarang giliran bule untuk dikategorisasikan
Yang kenal saya sudah tahu bahwa saya sangat anti(pati) ama bule Jakarta. Selama sekian lama di sini saya tidak pernah mau berteman sama bule Jakarta. Demikian juga dengan perempuan: walau pinter, cantik, nyambung ama aku dan lucu… pas saya tahu dia pernah pacaran ama bule saya langsung jadi 100% hillfeel, kecewa bahkan bisa jijik. Ok.. that may be not rational but that’s what I feel.
Anyway, berikut 4 kategori bule menurut seorang ahli yang sudah lama tinggal di Jakarta (bukan saya):
By bule guys I’m only referring to white, single,
straight Caucasian males who are working in Jakarta as expats or
teachers, or bule guys who live on a pension. So tourists are excluded
from the observation.
I have been working in Jakarta for over 28 years and retired 2 years
ago. I’m still living in Indonesia (Bali now). I tell this so you know
I’m not just another nitwit who’s just arrived in Jakarta and thinks
that he knows it all - my conclusions have some truth in them.
Here are the four types I have determined:
1: The Playboy type (20%)
2: The Steady type (50%)
3: The Reveller type (25%)
4: The Lonely type (5%)
Most often but not always young and good looking guys, often working as
well paid expats, but sometimes just working as teachers. They don’t
frequent the naughty bars, but like to go to upscale discos and pubs.
Most of these guys have many girlfriends at the same time. Their
girlfriends are from the middle or higher classes, these guys rarely go
with girls from the lower classes. They never pay for sex and also
almost never sleep with the same girl two nights in a row, and they
also never sleep alone. They often meet their girls in malls or the
upscale nightlife venues or through friends or the Internet.
By far the largest group, some of them are young expats but by and
large this type is between 30 and 45 years of age. Some of them are
serious guys who don’t really like going out (anymore) or people who
fall in love easily, or who want to settle down. They could have been
in group one or group three before - but have somewhere along the way
fallen in love with a girl, or they have gotten enough of hunting. Some
of them actually end up marrying their girlfriend or some just keep her
for the duration of their stay in Indonesia. Most of them are quite
faith full to their girlfriend and don’t "dine outside" more then once
or twice a week, which is considered very faithful in Indonesia.
The second largest group, they are mostly older (40 to 70) well paid
expats, or pensioners often divorced from their western wives. Some are
English teachers. They frequent the bars often going there every night,
but at least two or three times a week. They almost never take a steady
girlfriend and averagely sleep with one to three girls per week. They
often pay for those one night stands.
This is a rare breed - but believe it or not, this type does exist!
They can be found in all ages. They are well paid expats, teachers or
pensioners. They don’t get an Indonesian girlfriend and rarely take a
bar girl, or a girl from another place. Reasons for that can be that
they can be extremely choosy or simply not interested in the girls, or
they may have physical limitations (short, bold, body deformations etc)
or they may severely lack social skills. Some of them are shy or
completely lack self confidence. A certain percentage (25%) of this
type doesn’t sleep with an Indonesian girl during their entire stay in
Indonesia! Most of the guys in this category still sleep occasionally
with an Indonesian girl (mostly not bar girls) averagely about one to
four girls per month. They almost never pay for sex and rarely sleep
more than once with the same girl.
Menarik kan? Pokoknya saya cukup setuju dengan kategori dan persentase ini. Menurut saya memang 98% bule Jakarta (apa pun pekerjaannya dan statusnya) adalah bule brengsek yang gak punya harga diri, mikir pakai penis dan merasa hebat karena bisa dapat ayam atau cewek murahan/matre dll…
Tapi saya tahu apa yang Anda pikir nih: "Bas, loe sendiri masuk kategori apa?".
Good question
Saya sebetulnya bule yang unik di sini dan gak bisa masuk kategori apa-apa
Tapi saya mirip "The lonely tipe". Saya picky, kurang bergaul, tidak pernah bayar untuk sex, tidak pernah mau tidur sama perek dan sudah 2.5 tahun tidak berhubungan seks sama sekali.
Kok bisa ya? Yaa.. bisa
