Guy-rations

Hi All (whoever actually stumbles upon this blog). Apologies for the long snooze. You see, I've been busy...umm, thinking about ways to prevent the third world war. Anyway, I recently went to Mumbai and something funny happened. I'll spare you the details but I'd definitely share my thoughts on what it got me thinking about. Of the 5 yrs that I've been travelling and working all over India, I came across different kinds of guys....

The loud, brash, good-at-heart nothie: This one's a stunner at the first glimpse but makes you run for your life the moment he opens his mouth. The gutwrenching abuses but heartwarming smile, cheap attitude but expensive clothing is what describes him best. Now that I've been missing home, the downpour of abusive language (that to in hindi-punjabi) has become music to my ears. ;D

The charmer: This one's a smooooothie...he's great at making interesting conversations, making promises and at showing you the carrot. Meet him for the night and watch him leave skid marks the next day.

The arrogant intellectual %@%%#: He's the eligible bachelor, has more degrees than clothes to wear (mostly wears his company T-shirts or college alumni ones :D), has more weight  to throw around than on himself. This one's usually found down south of India. If he's after you, you should be grateful (or so he thinks :D). Although he looks pretty disciplined, he's had more women than you can count.

The psychopath: This one will track, stalk and hunt you down until you cave in. A die-hard romantic but more committed than the ones above. Don't judge him, the dearth of women in his life makes him so. :D

The dominating daddy: uh uh uh..NO...don't even think of thinking naughty. This one thinks relationships are all about placing restrictions....the over obsessive, dominating jerk.

Ok, just my random rantings over some of 'em. Couldn't help but put my seldom judgemental mind to work. Feel free to share details about the types you've met or to throw stones at me (if you're a guy) :D :D

Whatever said, the deal is that we foolish women can't live without them. Dayum, you men!

hehe ok, came here randomly, but couldn't help but laugh heartily on this one.

I've been called the 'arrogant intellectual' (and i'm south indian strangely enough - though I don't wear company/college t-shirts) and the charmer. I wonder if I make a new category.

justfeltlike said...

@shankar Thanks for stopping by! Arrogant intellectual and a charmer eh? Hmmm...interesting. Food for research (Penning it down)

Shankar said...

oh and I haven't a string of degrees either - so do tell me if this qualifies for a new category!

pRasad said...

You could have got more categories.. !

You inspired me to write abt kind of girls .. and I bet you I won't miss any category that exist on this planet :)

I couldn't help but notice that all men have a defining "Run fast, run far" bottomline.

To 'yang' things up a bit, every one of the species you mentioned has a feminine equivalent. Some nonsense about how there's someone for everyone.

In order of the evolutionary tree mentioned,

"The bysshe"
Not the poet. Hell on high heels. likes 'sex and the city' (which in spite of what they tell you, has created serious trust issues in urban Burkina Faso).

"The Funny girl"
Will match you twit for twit. Until she runs out of jokes. And cries. And then there isn't a mob north of the Vindhyas that won't lynch you.

"The arrogant intellectual"
Made MUCH worse because of (your mother's) insecurity - How is some girl getting more marks/degrees than you?
I have known these to be benign. But with more latent neurosis than you need to write a book.

"The sticks to you"
It's the cute version of the psycho. And you're the creep for hurting that poor little thing.

"The mother"
Astoundingly prevalent. I think it's because of natural selection due to the Oedipal complex.
I have known (and lost) friends who now need permission for ice cream.

Of course, having said that, The Indian woman is an essay in strength, forgiveness and sacrifice. I'm a fan.

@Akhil Whoa!! That was some hilarious stuff! Hell yeah, I've seen such splendid 'yang' specimens too. Interesting comment and a very intersting blog. Thanks for stopping by. :)
