Men Will Be Men!!

My recent break from work gave me ample time to ponder over the amusing and unadulterated world of hypocrisy that we live in. If this statement doesn’t make sense to you, the next one surely will! Men, in general, always like the same characters in other women which they detest in their own partners. I write from the belief that your head will nod in agreement, and lips curve into a knowing smile as you read through.

Ask the husband what he wants for dinner. Or maybe what is the latest news headlines today. You’ll end up as getting no response at all. Or, if you’re lucky, you’ll get that ‘Buzz off!’ expression. But when another female asks him about something as silly as what is a food pipe, just see the eagerness in his manners to explain it all right to her!

Complain that you’ve got a headache and see him react. He might be kind enough to suggest you to get a pill or a good night’s sleep or something. And how do you think he would comment, if this incident occurred between his friend and his wife, and he happened to witness it? ‘Poor Anna, she’s not well. Tch tch, Mac is so inconsiderate!’

When you’re pregnant, he’ll tell you blankly, ‘See, in these times, such things happen. Nothing to worry.’ And if his friend’s wife is pregnant, he will be all gaga to make her comfortable.

Upon the slightest provocation, laugh out aloud. Or just twirl that single lock of hair on your forehead constantly. I’m sure you’ll be branded as a bimbette. And, when the other woman does it, he will laugh along with her. And look appraisingly at her movements with her hair!

Dress up provocatively enough for his friends to take notice of you. He’ll NOT like it. Well, the way he reacts may vary. But when the other woman dresses up the same way, look at his roving eyes!

You think all the humour in him has dried up? Just look at all the jokes he can crack when in the presence of other ladies! As if he is born to make others laugh! Gosh! You just smile at the thought of the same face, solemn and forbidding, when he sits at the dinner table at home!

I cannot prevent a broad grin as I write. If any of you has ever been into a ‘friends-circle’ of the mixed sex, you’ll probably relate to what I say more easily. As soon as you have a new female entry into your group, the boys suddenly change. All attention on her. All eager to talk to her. And we girls immediately check out her clothes, the way she talks, the car her father owns. And then, gossip! Hypocrisy is in the air. And the one of this kind has always been in the air! Ask your grandma if you don’t believe me.
