Men-2

This has to be the strangest co-incidence.. though they're not really new to me, but i just realised that exactly 2 years ago, I had written my article on Men

Reading it made me realise that though 2 tremendous years have gone by and the world around me has topsy-turvied [ well, I still stay in the same place, work in the same city, have practically the same wardrobe, hangout with the exact same set of friends, but let's not get into the technicalities.. :P ] ....so as I was saying the world around me has changed a lot. And I have too, with it. Obviously, I have grown wiser [ I like to believe that about me and this is my blog. Who asked you??!!] with time [for women never age ;) ] .

So the confusion must have lessened right??? (Sigh....) If anything, it has gotten worse. Earlier it was just about their behavior, which you can learn to ignore or accept (or do both) over time.

But you know what really completely absolutely baffles me1111 [apart from how I managed to break the shift key on my keyboard] ???
How do men always, I mean always manage to say the wrong thing??!!!!
don't believe me?? here are a few snippets I have gathered from my female friends, "in conversations" with their dates, boyfriends, and/or husbands .. ;)

1) After 3-4 dates :
woman: "With you I just don't realise how time flies. I really enjoy talking to you"
man: "good! "
Good??!! remember the how do you do etiquette? couldn't you even manage a measly "same here"??

2) Major problems at the parental front,
woman(poor worried thing): "who knows if we'll be together tomorrow"
man: "Hmmm...."
wow!! for the woman you love , that's reassuring!

3) Ever heard the definition of beauty as being defined as natural?? Well she thought she'd give it a try...
woman: "So?? How do i look??"
man: "You look a little blank without makeup"
blank???!!! I mean seriously, did he just say BLANK!!!!!!!!! how about NATURE-FRESH!!!

4) I don't even want to give the background for this one
man: "wow! you look really slim in that dress!!!"
and I am not going to tell you what the slap on his face sounded like ;)

5) A worried wife over the phone,
woman: "Please take care, I'm really worried about you"
man: "Oh don't!! Its useless, you can't do anything"
Ouch! that gotta hurt! lucky he was on the phone ;)

6) A wife, getting wistful about her courtship days, wondering...
woman: "you must hate me now that i don't dress up anymore"
man: "I never saw the difference"
wrong answer buddy!! ever heard of the word sensitive?? how about polite?? :P

7) another from a hopeless (ahem i mean metaphorically) romantic ...
woman (humming to herself)
man:"were you just singing??"
woman: "no, just humming..i wish i had the voice and skill to sing well..."
man: "you have a feminine voice..thats enough"
well i understand you are trying to be encouraging..but ever heard of constructive criticism?

8) And this dear reader, is the UNCONTESTED WINNER!!!
(don't ask how I got hold of this information...that's a trade secret ;) )
At the dawn of a steamy , passionate night
woman(smiling): "say something..."
a pregnant pause...
man: "I really respect you as an individual"
hehehehehhahahahahahah...rofl rofl rofl....despite all my sympathies for her endless fears and non stop tears, I could just not stop laughing when she told me this! And don't even get me started on what she described afterwards!!!! ;)

Honestly men... its not so hard. Be honest, just read our minds and know when we want you to be honest and when romantic. And remember when we want you to be romantic, we do still want you to be honest, its just the honesty that we want, not the one that you have!! All you have to do is read our minds and say exactly what we want you to say!! and don't forget, it has to be an honest opinion!!

see that's not so hard ;) ...

relationships are all about honesty, if you can fake it, you're in it!!! ;P ;P ;P
