Episode 4 of ‘I love women but sometimes’…
Thursday, November 2nd, 2006I’m back… I told you that the topic’s too vast to be covered in a trilogy… So here comes the fourth installment of my " I love women but sometimes" commentary…
People might be wondering, what’s my big issue with women of today and why I write so much about them… Once again, I retiterate that I LOVE women and the comment are based only on some of them… Ok fine, MANY of them but NOT ALL… Judging from the responses, most seem to have taken it on the right note thus far…
The reason for my sudden literary fascination with the fairer sex is due to recent situations and current environment… My best of friends are in sorry spirits or have been so for quite some time… ReasoN: Women. One of them is in a far away land reminiscing in solitude about a long term relationship that was terminated by his other half after half a decade… Another is in an utter state of confusion and pain revolving around his recent experience with the opposite sex… As for myself, my single status in the past 5 months has been torturing me with days and nights of loneliness… An empty feeling… Not so much for the loneliness but the vacuum in the heart yearns to be filled and occupied by a familiar tenant… The kind of feeling that makes you wanna kick yourself for some decisions you made in life… The only odd one out in the group who seems to have his peace of mind intact, is a buddy of mine who hasn’t had a whiff of a woman in his life… I mean, in THAT way, not literally… Having been single all his life long at 26, the guy has waaaay better things to do than to be lamenting like the rest of us, " Dei, why are women like that???" in 24 hour prata joints…And over MSN… And on the phone… And during Deepavali visits… And at surprise birthdays… And in clubs… And the list goes on…
Guys start doing weird things when a special woman enters their lives and even weirder things when they leave… I’ve had friends who quit smoking and drinking to impress their special girl… I’ve seen guys turning into poets overnight… I’ve seen friends running atop buildings and skyscrapers to take photographs of nature and sceneries, just to put a smile on their girl’s lips… Gung-ho friends of mine have meekly hidden and had a hurry-burry smoke at some ulu corner during gatherings with their special girls and her friends, so as not to create a bad impression… I see working men borrow money from friends just to bring their dates to exotic places to impress them… I’ve seen poor guys who run every errand for girls they are not attached to, just so that she might reciprocate some day… I, for one,refused to attend my own brother’s wedding when I freshly got attached because the date my mom fixed,clashed with my then girlfriend’s 21st birthday celebrations( A good 3 1/2 years back) Why do we do all that?
I’ve had friends who rambled for months after their girfriends left them… I’ve had friends who became semi-psychotic stalkers who followed their ex-girlfriend whereever she went… I’ve had friends who’ve got their ex-girlfriend’s name on their bike but the girl doesn’t give two shits… I personally come up with lame reasons to call my ex-girlfriend and call her out for no reason at all… Damn, I didn’t wanna spend my birthday with anyone else but her! Why do we do all that?
Do they deserve it? Do we deserve it? Some of them do, I guess… There are girls who really can’t get over past relationships for months… But often, these are the girls who’d not have been attached to the deserving kinda guys like I mentioned above… They’d have been probably attached to some total bastard who used to abuse her, physically or verbally, or else squeeze every dollar out of her pocket money to the max, hooked up one night stands at Raagawoods while she was sleeping at home or simply laid her and left her once he was bored… Those kinda assholes get girls who pine for them… Ironically, the really nice guys get girls who flush them down the toilets and look for another fella to put up with their shit…
Whilst some ladies give their lives out to the guys they love, some others are looking for men as past-times and joy-rides.Some are on the other end of the spectrum, even planning their break-up months or years ahead… Someone whom I know was supposedly planning to break up with her boyfriend for a long time… However, she never did for goddamn-whatever-reason-that-could be and finally broke off after TWO freaking years of consideration… In the two years, she probably never mentioned anything to the poor unsuspecting fella but chose to tell others about it instead…
Damn, something sudden came up and i gotta go at the most interesting part now… This will be continued… Stay tuned…
