MICHELLE LEE
Astro Football Overload
Michelle Lee gets the ball rolling on what catches her
attention and how you can impress a girl like her.
Flash
Those Pearly Whites
“I always notice guys’ postures. The way
they stand, carry themselves, walk... the way you look like you don’t want to
be there or like you own the room—it’s very obvious and comes through.
Typically, the men I notice are the ones that are confident. Don’t slouch, walk
confidently and smile—it shows that you’re comfortable with yourself.”
Don’t
be a Cock
“Confidence is knowing you’re good enough,
but not showing it off. Cockiness is telling the whole world and basically
exaggerating what you actually have. There’s a difference even with
athletes—confident versus cocky ones—in their games and competitions. There are
some guys who are like ‘I’m the best in the world’ but people are actually
beating your ass. So don’t show off.’’
Keep
Yours Hands Off
“If a girl seems like she doesn’t want to
talk with you, don’t continue the conversation. If she’s backing off, don’t go
and chase her. I’ve been in situations where people are extra touchy-feely
around me and that makes me uncomfortable. It’s okay to talk, but when you
start touching my arm and all when we’ve obviously just met, it’s crossing the
line.”
Fire
Up with Passion
“I’m drawn to men who are ambitious and
driven. Passion is really sexy. When they talk about what they love, it’s very
alluring. It’s a huge turn on to see them put so much energy into something.
Ambition, drive, passion-all that translates into a relationship too. If you’re
passionate about me, you’re gonna put a lot of work into the relationship as
well. ”

EVER WONDERED WHAT A ROMANTIC staycation in the city with Michelle Lee would be
like? Picture this: Michelle pulling the duvet across her bare shoulders and
kicking her feet between the sheets in a suite at Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur.
You’re probably used to hearing the Astro
Football Overload host and Hitz.FM deejay dishing out detailed game
analysis, but today she’s opening up about what she likes in a man and how you
can set the sparks flying.
“Travelling together is good,” Michelle
says. "Your relationship grows because you’re spending an excessive amount
of time together and things are bound to go wrong when you travel.
You get to see how your partner handles
situations like meeting new people, especially the ones who don’t even speak
your own language.”
Though seemingly minor, these revelations
are vital Easter eggs in the curious domain of relationships. “It basically
opens you up to who your partner really is—whether they’re the kind who would
rough it out or needs to be pampered wherever they go.” There’s a merit to
travelling in a relationship, “It’s good bonding time because you experience
new things and create memories together.” Michelle unveils an added bonus
behind this: It gives the both of you something to laugh about in the future.
Is bunking a hotel room with your lady
friend a cause for concern? Michelle sheds light on the importance of touch and
physical intimacy, describing it as “a whole different level of being able to
know a person and being comfortable to that degree.” She confesses that she
finds it hard to be physically intimate with someone, “I really need to get to
know a guy before I’m even ready to kiss him.” She acknowledges that she’s even
been called a prude, but don’t get her wrong; Michelle’s just held back by an
innate sense of self-preservation.
It doesn’t take rocket science to make a
gal feel comfortable. According to Michelle, the equation is simple: A good
dose of honesty mixed with sincerity. “Don’t lie or fake anything cause that
would just ruin everything you built up,” she warns. “If you’re talking about
sex, don’t be pushy.” She points out guys need to understand that a
relationship doesn’t necessarily equate to sex, “Don’t think if she’s your
girlfriend, she’s automatically going to sleep with you. It should never be
that way.” Different people have different principles, she notes; everyone has a
different take on what physical intimacy means to them. Mirroring an
Austen-esque notion on the role your intentions play in courtship, she quips,
“Your aim in making her feel comfortable shouldn’t be because you want to bed
her. Don’t you love her and want her to be happy?”
Michelle highlights that the guys who made
a lasting impression on her were those who went above and beyond the call of
duty. “It’s not anything specific,” she says. “I like to be independent and do
things on my own. But I’ve been with guys who went out of their way for my
safety because they knew that I was in need.” She mentions a significant other
who had driven all the way to Sepang at 4am to pick her up after a job, only to
drop her home and give her a wakeup call the next day, “I’m not saying you have
to do whatever I say, but I think it’s romantic when you naturally want to go
out of your way for love.” Michelle talks about her career, sharing that she
measures how far she’s come through the milestones achieved like landing a
regular TV hosting gig and venturing into radio. A driven individual who
embraces challenges, Michelle says that she’d love to break into a different
genre like travel or even tech. “The way I was raised was about putting in a
lot of hard work. I was never born with a silver spoon in my mouth—I had to
work for everything. Your mentality is the first thing that will motivate you
because it’s always mind over matter.”

My girlfriend hasn’t been able to
find a job for almost a year now.
I can support her financially,
but how much is too much?
ADRIAN, SELANGO
A year is a long stretch to be unemployed.
It’s okay to provide for her basic needs, but when excessive costs are
incurred, that’s when the magic carpet ride needs to end. That being said, bear
in mind there is very little motivation to find a job if financial woes aren’t
peeking at the corner. Perhaps all she needs is a little inspiration. To do
this, apply the reward method: “When you get a job, let’s go celebrate at
[insert a fancy restaurant name].”
I’ve fallen for a female friend of mine,
but she has a boyfriend. Should I speak up?
BEN. KUALA LUMPUR
Before you utter those fateful words, ask
yourself what you are trying to gain from telling her: A relationship? That
she'll come running straight into your arms because you’re the better man? As
hard as the truth may be to swallow, she's dating someone she wants to be with.
If that relationship is rock solid, your confession will do little to shake up
their foundation. And if it's not, your declaration will just be an invitation
to become the third wheel until she handles her own.
My girlfriend gave me a key to her place.
Does that mean I need to do the same?
MELVIN, KUALA LUMPUR
Just because she’s ready for that kind of
commitment doesn't mean you have to be. The sharing of a unit, especially in
the form of key exchange, often means more than just come over for dinner every
now and then and watch the games. She’s hinting at settling down and having
this arrangement be more permanent. Have a conversation with her and dish out
all the hard topics like "Where do you see us going?” and “What does this
mean for us?” Who knows, you might be ready to commit by the end of that chat.
How do I break
it to her that I hate the pet name she gave me?
ZAINAL. JOHOR BAHRU
Whatever happened to the generic call of
adoration such as “babe”, “darling”, “honey” and “baby”? There is no safe way
to tell her to stop using the pet name she has assigned to you since that has
become a habit and how she communicates her affection for you. However, you can
tell her to keep that particular pet name to enclosed settings where there are
just the two of you. If that doesn’t work, a rose by any other name would smell
as sweet. Let her ride out the novelty of the expression and she’ll move on to
something else.
Should I tell
my partner there’s a somewhat indecent photo of me online?
RAMESH, MELAKA
While honesty is the best policy,
sometimes it’s wiser to withhold lesser information until it comes to light.
You’ve obviously had a past that she wasn't always a part of and unless she
scavenges the Internet specifically searching for nude pictures of you, there’s
only a slim chance that she’ll come across your birthday suit display.
Regardless, if she does find it, just give her the lowdown and spare the
details. Make light of the ordeal and she’ll respond in kind.
