It's "shrimp" here in the Philippines. "Lollipop" isn't a widely-used term tho, I guess people are willing to overlook slight body issues if the face is attractive enough.
Prawns are not just in Singapore. We also recognise prawns in the Philippines, we call them “Hipon” the Filipino words for Prawns. Yes, generally, a lot of prawns are bottom.
Is all fine until these prawns starts to "dislike" / look down on those who deem to be "unfit" in their very own prawn definitions. Just because they have a "nice body" (subjective), doesn't mean their entirely attractive. please realise this my dear PRAWNS. It goes both ways. Aiman touched on this at 2.21.
I hate to break it to you guys but here in the Philippines we also use the word "prawn' but in our native tongue which translates to "Hipon" and generally means an ugly person whether male or female.
As an Australian I find Singaporean guys hot 🔥 you're right about the self deprication my Singaporean ex would always hate on one eye being bigger than the other.
PRAWN IN THE PHILIPPINES CAN BE EITHER GIRL OR BOY WITH THE SAME DEFINITION AS THEY DESCRIBED. THERE'S A FAMOUS BEAUTY QUEEN IN THE PHILIPPINES DUBBED AS "HIPON (PRAWN)".
The term is also widely used in the Philippines which in the local language we use "hipon" pronounced hi•pon. There was even a stand up comedian back in 2014 or something that was declared persona non grata in the province of Davao, for calling or saying that majority of the locals in the region of Davao are Hipon 😂
I think when someone works out really hard and has that hot body, it somehow transforms their face or how they look. I personally think Singaporeans are attractive! (Plus i like their English accent - Singlish accent).
We use "Prawns" in the Philippines too - and as a matter of fact it's a direct translation "Hipon" but not only for gay men but men in general who has a nice body but less attractive face.
BTW if you want a collective noun for them you can borrow "Ukoy" from the Philippines (crispy shrimp patty made with mung bean sprouts and shredded squash or papaya, dipped in a vinegar sauce)
Similar term here in Malaysia and in Australia, the term was paper bag (because you could screw them with a paper bag over their face). The rise of guys going to the gym has led to the rise of number of prawns. But I do have to say that a good body can go a looooong way for average looking guys, whereas a good looking guy with an average (or below average) body gets demoted quite fast in the “gay attractiveness” scale.
Indeed, many local eligible and sought after guys often go for the least desirable for experience as no one would believe it actually happened but popular guys just want to prove that they are special.
So true but different strokes for different folks. Find you guys so interesting and entertaining but say what’s on your mind. Just say true to yourself and keep doing what makes you happy. Aloha Hawaii
Love that you guys are defending our Singaporean men but sorry to say that South East Asian Gay Twitter(X) says otherwise; they love to tear down the Singaporean gays any opportunity they get. We’re always the lowest ranking country whenever superficial topics like these are brought up. 😂😂😂
Lucky prawn, not sotong! But I agree with Sean. Not into Koreans but Filipino guys are the hottest of SEA guys. Next would be Indonesian guys. Maybe it's just me but I'm not into pasty guys. Btw, local guys for me would be Benjamin Kheng and Zhin Sadali.
Singapore especially has alot of prawns. 😂 sorry but true. And the one thing I can't stand is their bad set of teeth. 😅 thank goodness I'm in Canada now 😮
i dont really care if an dude don't have the looks but if they have the body and is loyal that's fine, who am I or anyone to judge others, everyone is unique in their own way
In PH it's not just prawn - "Hipon" we have a lot of terms.. Like a group of prawns or hipons we call them Ukoy which is a prawn fritter, a group of prawn fried together.. 😂😂😂
I have never heard about this slang word before. But I’m going to ask my gay friends if they have. Im Irish leaving in UK. I spend a lot of time in Thailand so when I’m next back there i will have to ask my Thai friends 😂
Prawns are ok but sorry, prawns with attitude are a turn off. Face is a priority. Those who care about body… bless your soul when you reach 40 or 50. Thailand, Philippines, HK, Taiwan (now even China) has the best looking guys for Asian.
As a Half Korean "Pretty Boy" face.... to the Prawns, the Shrimps, the Langoustines or any kind of seafood out there.... STOP GIVING ME THE D.E.A.T.H. STARE like i'm the one who murdered your whole family !!!!! And talk shits behind our back "He's not even that pretty, took out your shirt, i'll bet you never know the feeling when all the mens surrounds you after you took out your shirt" - Prawn asked Camly "I got Pull Over by the Police, they're LET ME GO when i'm took out my mask...." and i'm became a bad guy, bashing me about the "privilege", THAT I'M A RACIST ??????? 😂😂😂😂😂
I remember there is a video where Alden Sng who said his "friend" from China said SG guys are mostly prawn. So does it means he is one of the prawn or he belong to the larger community here?
11:49 I think it's all preference, but a lot of Koreans care about looks, wear a bit of makeup, or have literally done a few surgeries. Also, they're not afraid to use photoshop online. All that being said, I can see why people consider them the best or to have the most avg looking guys. I think men in a lot of other asian countries aren't as extreme about it and that's the trend among the gays. To look as natural as possible.
That is not exclusive to Singapore.... in the Philippines we have a term called "HIPON" meaning shrimp/prawn, We even say to Hipon looking guys.... "tapon ulo" which means throw away the head, cause the body is okay but the face can be thrown away. And in our country the term Hipon can also be used for straight men.
Hi a simple suggestion from me. Try to add english sub for ur videos cuz it is hard to understand ur slang sometimes and the auto generated subs alls a bit confusing
Love the unhingeness and unfilterness. But Sean is too dominating in the conversation, he comes up too strong with his opinion and somehow shutting down the other 2. Tone that down a little and allow more lively discussion.
Sean has always been my gorgeous crush. Really wish he could open up for me to know him better. Fyi Im a Malaysian Malay. I was str8 but after divorced 10yrs ago, I converted myself to 200% gay man.
I must add there are also many malaysians and taiwanese who think Sg has many hot good looking fit guys. I always tell him likely they are foreigners! Sorry sg guys!
We have similar terms as well in Indonesia, they’re “cowok udang” (prawn guy) or “BMW” (Body Mengalahkan Wajah = The Body Beats The Face).
I SUKA BMW HAHA BODY MENGALAHKAN WAJAH
@@ItsAimanOMG hahahah, hii, Aiman!
BMW is hilarious!!! I cackled like there's no tomorrow
prawn actually is widely use slang regionally. theres is also the opposite slang of prawn which is "lollipop" ( you eat the head and throw the body)
Learn new word to bitch about. Thank you hahA
Omg my ex used to call me Lollipop bear I had no idea what he meant 🤣
It's "shrimp" here in the Philippines. "Lollipop" isn't a widely-used term tho, I guess people are willing to overlook slight body issues if the face is attractive enough.
Prawns are not just in Singapore. We also recognise prawns in the Philippines, we call them “Hipon” the Filipino words for Prawns. Yes, generally, a lot of prawns are bottom.
Actually. hipon is Shrimp. Most Asian do suck the head of Prawns, before they peel the skin and devour the body.
Sean giving 🦐 vibe lol the body looking good
You are all beautiful in your own ways. Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
no, one is beautiful or not. it is that simple.
If everyone's beautiful, no one's beautiful.
Nice body can be subjective too
SO TRUE.
I went to Singapore gay bars solo once. There sure as hell were so many prawns.
Is all fine until these prawns starts to "dislike" / look down on those who deem to be "unfit" in their very own prawn definitions.

Is it pronounced “hip-on”?
@@TheoWentHomehi-pon
@@TheoWentHome it is pronounced, hee-pon.
You forgot that they have good looking bodies, not just ugly. Basically we say, "throw the head away and eat the body."
The bigger guy make-up and hair is so on point. Cheers to him!
It's the same in the Philippines. They're called "Hipon" which is the local term for prawn.
I’ve heard about prawns from the China side earlier as 虾系男友 / prawn type boyfriend
If you have a nice personality and a nice fit body, you're a 10 in my eyes.
We call them “butter face” in US. It came from “everything about my date was perfect, but her face (butter face)!’
As an Australian I find Singaporean guys hot 🔥 you're right about the self deprication my Singaporean ex would always hate on one eye being bigger than the other.
I prefer the American term "butter face," as in "...but her face."
PRAWN IN THE PHILIPPINES CAN BE EITHER GIRL OR BOY WITH THE SAME DEFINITION AS THEY DESCRIBED. THERE'S A FAMOUS BEAUTY QUEEN IN THE PHILIPPINES DUBBED AS "HIPON (PRAWN)".
Circuit boys from HK, Taiwan and China label Singaporean prawns. That is how I first came across this term in 2012
What does one call a guy with a nice face and average body?
The term is also widely used in the Philippines which in the local language we use "hipon" pronounced hi•pon. There was even a stand up comedian back in 2014 or something that was declared persona non grata in the province of Davao, for calling or saying that majority of the locals in the region of Davao are Hipon 😂

I’m Thai. And I find Singaporean men very attractive indeed.
It's the same here in the PH. But we call them 'HIPON', a tagalog word for shrimp/prawn.
Sean is definitely my type ❤😂

I immediately remembered that ghost from Scary Movie 2.

Malaysia not mentioned? Anyway, thanks for enlightening us on the prawns subject! 😅
So true but different strokes for different folks. Find you guys so interesting and entertaining but say what’s on your mind. Just say true to yourself and keep doing what makes you happy. Aloha Hawaii
Yes they are so refreshing and entertaining 😂
That term has been used since the 90's/2000's in the Philippines in the native language.
Filipino maids in Singapore may have brought the concept to Singapore when chatting with local gays.
Learning tons of vocabs from your podcasts. As a baby lesbian femme, I’m curious your PoVs on lesbian community in SG as well. 😬😬🤓
This was the best one yet
Love that you guys are defending our Singaporean men but sorry to say that South East Asian Gay Twitter(X) says otherwise; they love to tear down the Singaporean gays any opportunity they get. We’re always the lowest ranking country whenever superficial topics like these are brought up. 😂😂😂
Central Asian men have beautiful face feature and naturally handsome.

I guess you really love the Austronesian rizz
Singapore especially has alot of prawns. 😂 sorry but true. And the one thing I can't stand is their bad set of teeth. 😅 thank goodness I'm in Canada now 😮
And only recently, a Caucasian tiktoker actually proclaimed Singapore is full of models everywhere he looks. Even Singaporeans are tickled.
In malaysia I always heard people saying Singaporean gay is prawn but i really dont think so to me they are above average
I kinda have to agree … face-wise, there aren’t that many good looking guys in Singaporean bars
i dont really care if an dude don't have the looks but if they have the body and is loyal that's fine, who am I or anyone to judge others, everyone is unique in their own way

No one is ugly.. the fact that if a person who says another person being ugly just ditch him. After few years hid bf turns ugly how?
Nahh ugly is ugly. Youre just sugarcoating it.
😂 i've never heard of this "prawn" term even though I speak 3 languages. 🤣🤣 But yeah, now I got it.
Its the attitude or the vibe that the person exudes confidence that attracts, personality, but lets face it its the first thing they see its the face😮
We use this slang in Brazil too, only translated, which in Portuguese it's "camarão" lol
It's shrimp rather than prawn in the Philippines (camaron).
please give them separate mics🤣
Prawns are ok but sorry, prawns with attitude are a turn off. Face is a priority. Those who care about body… bless your soul when you reach 40 or 50.

You know there are saunas in Seoul that will only allow gym fit guys....didn’t care if ur prawn or not
It's true that Singaporean guys are not really....aesthetically pleasing based on modern beauty standards.
Sean, aiman, keiran guys you are not prawns, definitely❤
Lollipops? 🍭

RZGHHHH NEVER STOP THESE VIDS
Hi a simple suggestion from me. Try to add english sub for ur videos cuz it is hard to understand ur slang sometimes and the auto generated subs alls a bit confusing
I'm Aussie. The term "prawn", is actually Australian slang that was adopted by Singaporeans. Google it in urban dictionary or something.
All three of you are attractive in your very own unique ways. ❤️❤️❤️
I’m a Malaysian and I think Singaporean is like Malaysian, we are average looking.
AIMAN IS SO FUNNY 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but aiyoh i feel you, i also have low standards 🥹🥹😭🥹
hot body is everything for me. face as long as you have all the organs and parts on it, it's okay.
Hottest men in Asia 1) Japanese/Taiwanese 2) Thai 3) Philippines
Love the unhingeness and unfilterness. But Sean is too dominating in the conversation, he comes up too strong with his opinion and somehow shutting down the other 2. Tone that down a little and allow more lively discussion.
Philippines we also called it Prawn😂 but in our language which is hipon😂
Green shirt is cute
I do enjoy visiting gay club in bbk. All are friendly and gentle . Unlike LBGT clubs..
Sean has always been my gorgeous crush. Really wish he could open up for me to know him better. Fyi Im a Malaysian Malay. I was str8 but after divorced 10yrs ago, I converted myself to 200% gay man.
“…mixed with lesbians…”😂
Sean is cute and gives off twunkish vibes :3
Sean seems a bit too serious, and woke/pc. I prefer Kieran and Aiman as hosts.
Prawn is well known among asian countries.
Kieran is really growing on me. 😌
Lolz we've called such people 🦐 here in 🇵🇭 since 1999- early 2000s 😂
Ughhh , SG guys are wiser and more educated.
As a Filipino gay man, I think Sean is hot.
We have "hipon" (prawn) here in the Philippines.

So.... Opposite of prawn is fish head curry? 🤔
Someone here mentioned lollipop 😂
I must add there are also many malaysians and taiwanese who think Sg has many hot good looking fit guys. I always tell him likely they are foreigners! Sorry sg guys!
Is not a uniquely singaporean term lo. Chinese media have this term 虾系男友。
Yeah..Singaporeans in general are prawns
Robin Tiang, Benjamin Kheng, Aiden Sng
BTW, Dennis O is hotter than Daniel Henney
