Mummy's Boys make the Best Husbands (Edit: Do you think Jay is one of them?)

[jessca]

Not sure where to post this...but i found this article in an english newspaper, the Daily Mail. Some extracts:

Why mummy's boys make the best husbands

They have long been the butt of jokes, but mummy's boys are now likely to be taken more seriously after research showed that they grow up to be the best husbands. According to the study of young married couples, sons who have a strong relationship with their mother are more likely to be considerate, make their wives happy and enjoy a successful, lasting relationship.

Researchers found strong and significant correlation between men's ties to their mothers and their partners' satisfaction with their relationship. Mothers help to mould the way their sons deal with women and how good they are at it, said the study. Close contact with their female parent means mummys boys are better able to develop intimate and emototionally open relationships.

Men were asked how close they were to their mothers. Researchers found that, in general, men who said their mothers 'understood their needs' were described as 'affectionate' by their wives. Men who had strong love for their mothers also tended to date women who described them as 'their best friend' And those who sought to 'make their mother proud' ranked high interms of their ability to communicate with their partner.


Sorry about any typos, typing rather quickly...so what do youse think? I think Jay falls into that category... :wink2: If he is, we know for sure hes gonna be a great husband!

[GuArDiAn AnGeL]

wow...i've never really thought about that jessca!...i thin jay falls under that category too..since hes so filial to his mom...he'll probably make a GREAT husband...lol....so jay's love will be described as his best friend?!?!?!...wooo...there is something to look out for...lol..next time he said a girl is just his BEST FRIEND....i guess its MORE than that!!!

[bluedolphin]

umm...i think jay is one too....since he is brought up by his mother and they are realli close to each other.....he also mentioned before his girlfriend/wife must also be filial to his mother.....he will be a good husband..but his expectation of his partner is quite high..... :happy:

[jianing0411]

i think jay will really love his wife a lot lah. but because he is so busy i don't think he and his wife will spend much time together.. unless she doesn't have a job and can follow him all around.. but other than this, i think he'll really make a great husband. and father too...

[jessca]

but his expectation of his partner is quite high..... :happy:

At least he wont go around asking any random beauty to marry him!!

Ps. I like your avatar! Babygirl made it, nice isnt it..hehe :happy:

[linny]

Nya~

Of course Jay will make a good husband! It's clear that he loves his mom AND grandma a lot.. Not only that, he has great respect for both of these ladies in his life. So, Jay would make a great husband.

Not only that, but you can tell by his personality that he'll make a good husband... He is so gentle. My mom says that guys who are soft spoken and gentle typically are very good men, so I'm sure Jay will be a great husband.

[estherz]

haha agreee.. :laughing:
Jay WILL make a good husband. i think he'll probably get out of the entertainment circle and just write songs for artistes in order to spend more time with his wife..! hahaha but i must admit, whoever his future wife is, is a lucky lady! she better know how to appreciate him!
i wouldnt label him as a mommy's boy, as mommy's boy is really horrible (cos i got a schoolmate who's one). i mean like jay wouldnt go complain to his mom that someone in the entertainment circle and hide behind her hoping for her to take actions. hahaha so, i wont list him as a mommy's boy! he is just a fillial son! a goooood man... :love:

[annaitako]

looking at jay.. it's very clear that he has a very special bond between him and his mother and his grandmother...
of coz jay will be a great husband!!

but i have guy fren who loves his mom so much but unfortunately...
he follows watever his mother says..
so.. most of the time he spends his time with his family and being his gf is quite tough coz he won;t have time for the girl...

to love jay u just have to love his mom and grandma as much i guess...

[seth_seth]

I don't really fancy mummy boys, rather I prefer one who respects his mother...
cos I don't really like a guy being pushed around by his mother...

[evenstar_sc]

I don't think jay is a mummy's boy at all, he's just a really filial son and he respects his mom and grandmother. Which would make him a good "other half" i think.

umm... being too much of a Mummy's boy isn't exactly a good thing. I think usually they'd be more submissive to their partners and are more likely to be bullied by them.

[LiLxAmMiE]

i agree with evenstar_sc, jay isn't a mummy's boy! he's just a really good son who respects his mom. :happy: i think mummy's boy is pretty, let's just say, WEAK? because every single little thing, he would tell his mummy about it, which would make him not independent!

[linny]

I always thought mommy boys were just very close to their moms? :?

Guys who get pushed around by their moms are weak, but they're not necessarily mommy boys are they? Guys who let their mom's push them around are not men yet, and Jay is obviously a control freak so he probably wouldn't let his mom push him around.

:glug: Yah, Jay would make a good husband.

[i1215]

i think he would be a good one...not like those that would beat ur wife...but then i have doubts...in a way i think he's demanding...i read what his ideal wife is and it sounds like to me that he wants his wife to listen to whatever he says...since he likes to take control...even tho he likes the girl he would expect the girl to listen...if she doesn't listen then he would go bye bye...since he always like doing things his own way...i think jay would be good to his gf if the gf listens to what he expect from u first...that's my opinion....so yeah....he said his wife can work but not from 9-5...but i think that's normal....isn't that kinda selfish then...he can work but i can't...? he can complain that i work too much but he can't? but for those who read this...i am not being offensive just my opinion...but overall...if u are those type of girls who doesn't like to work then it would be perfect...some girls like to have to own business going on u know? cuz if u depend on ur man too much u will be ending up with nothing when u guys break up...i hope jay is loyal to that special someone forever...

[Vicluva]

yeah i think jay would b a gr8 husband, his behaviour to his mother and grandmother show that he respects women and treats him well, and that obviously makes on my top ten list of husband material, not that i'd made a list... :dry: of course the fact that he's absolutely gorg DOES help a little.... :blush:

[Melvin]

well... jay isn't really a mummy's boy... he just really respects his mother and is really filial.. but isn't really one. Anyway, I still feel that Jay would make a great father, because he's responsible and caring. :wink2:

[sakikora]

jay would be the most perfect husband.....and father....since he is filinal to his gran and mum...he will respect his wife...WWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAi wanna get married to him....

[joung]

u know i kind of think that jay's one of men who like to play around..not in a bad way but i do think he is!! hummm but i do think that when he finds the one he loves, all his love and attention will be given for that lucky girl. just hope that he'll still have time to do great music for his fans then.

[moonsilk]

I do not agree that mummy's boy will be the best husband...

Becos they will tend to listen to their mum instead of their wive...

This may be an assumption or sweeping statement...hhaha...

[Dong Feng Puo]

I think there's some truth to that, why not. My uncle 39284 times removed is like that. I guess guys who are close to their mothers just have a deeper appreciation for mothers/wives. I think Jay should be MY husband!

[jmin13]

i agree with it..Mummy's Boys are alot more better than other guys...they are so fillial and so caring...most of my guys friends are mummy boys and they give me a very gd impressions..they will go to market with their parents on weekends...tidying their own bed...where you can find these kind of guys now ? they really make a gd husband..the way they treat u is different from other guys..

[trishee]

Well, despite the fact that he named his latest after his lovely mom, you cant really tell, can you? I think he is being a wonderful son by naming his album after her but momma's boy? I dont know. :glug:
Surely he loves his mom, but whats the harm if he really is. Come to think of it momma's boys are quite cute at times. Often mistaken for being gay, they turn out fine.
FYI: When he was touring in Thailand, he brought his mom along so she could shop, how cute!!
Well, you be the judge, but Im 100% positive he'll be a wonderful husband. whether he's a momma's boy or not. :excited:

[friends_pt]

I strongly believe that Jay will definitely be a good husband... But Jay is not a mummy's boy... he is jus being fillial to his mother... n most importantly, i think tat children frm single family will teasure their life partner well n will give their future children a happy n complete family...

[ask4more_jay]

hmmm...i read in a magazine article that jay was 3rd place in hong kong for "Best Husband of the Year" of something? i don't know! =P

[ene]

As much as I love Jay to bits, I have to say I wouldn't want him to be my husband. I don't like mummy boys. I'm assuming mummy boys are referring to boys who listen to their mummy 100%. It's difficulte enough maintaining a marraige. Imagine how much worst it'll be if you have his mum poking her nose into EVERY AFFAIR or having him consulting his mum on EVERYTHING before making a decision. If you're old enough to be married, I say be old enough to make decisions. Without consulting your mummy !

:happy:

[zrayon]

Jay will definitely become a good husband. I don't think he's a mummy's boy. He used Mdm Ye's name as the album name, maybe because he wanted to show appreciations towards her. No matter what, Mdm Ye is the one who brought Jay to this world, so it's good to have a son that is soOoo fillial that used his own mother's name as the album title.

Person that is fillial normally is caring towards their partner too, i guess.

[snowflake]

I think Mummy’s boys will make good husband but only on the condition that he can still do things on his on and not always listening to the mother. :-) This will cause a problem if married. Can you imagine him always siding with his mother?? Remember that guy that get divorced from Kui’s sister (played by Lu Min Jun) in “The Rose”? :oops:

Anyway, I think Jay is fine. He is just filial. And guys who are filial can’t be too bad ??! :? He will most likely make a good husband. Envied the gal who he will married in the future. :cry:

[kasic_fantasy]

hmm i think jay is one....i think he will be the type that offen bring his mum and his wife out for dinner in those quiet restaurant....and treat his wife very well....all thanx to mdm ye hui mei's special training :D

[kelly21mah]

ya!!!i reli wish he's my boyfren or i hope my boy fren got 50% of his characteristic...
i love him so much!!! :happy:

[asoka_gal]

i aso dun think that he is a mummy's boy..he is juz filial to his mum..i guess his chinese roots are very strong? but mummy's boy? yucks..

[cookiebandit]

i think mama's boy makes the worst husbands. i want a man who can think for himself!!! =)

but seriously, just cuz he treats his mom good doesnt mean he'll do the same to you. if ur not the straight laced, obedient, quiet, softspoken kinda girl (sorry, a bit stereotypical, i know) then a mams boy is not for you. think about it. if hes a mamas boy, he's gonna listen to every advice his mom says and sooner or later you are going to be sick of hearing " well my mom said......"

[esther]

I dont want a mummy's boy for a husband. I want my boy! Haha!
If he rather listen to his mum everytime, i guess i will be very irritated.

But, jay will be a good husband, not judging whether he's a mummy's boy or not, but from his attitude towards all the people around him... Dream on, people, for the chance to appraise whether he is a good husband! (For course the only accurate way of appraisal is to be his wife) :roll:

[sweetheart]

I think he will be a great husband t, considering that he is closewithhis mother and grandmother. But i do think that he has his bad boy side to him too, but he is a good bad boy you know? I feel he has his times like us, we get introuble with our mothers and fathers too.

Gosh who ever marries him will have gorgeous...Hot babies together.
