Hmm! So what about us. What are we? What makes us boys? What is
our thought process? Pretty simple if you ask me, we’re practical beings. We
like being practical, we analyze everything (yes, everything). But women
analyze too, from the ingredients in their cosmetics to the kind of food they
wanna eat at a particular time of day (yes they do). So what makes our analysis
different? Simple, our analysis is solution oriented. We wanna solve it,
whatever IT maybe, and get to a solution right then and there.
Solution, isn't that what everyone wants? Women go like,
if I wanna get myself a dress, I decide on the right attire for the occasion,
go to the right shop, get the right kind of material, choose the right kind of
dress and stitch and color (which is very important) so that I can feel
comfortable wearing my dress. Well, we also think about the right attire for
the occasion, we are very picky when it comes to material and color (although
we never agree to this when confronted) and choose ourselves a dress that helps
us be comfortable.
The difference comes when you have to feel comfortable and we have
to be comfortable. To feel something, we keep that separate from the rest of
our lives, whereas women want to feel something with almost everything they
come in contact with. This doesn't make us “idiots with no feelings”
we feel only those things which feeling is associated with, say happiness,
sadness, love, lonely. Unlike women who feel like having a burger or feel like
going shopping, some women even feel like someone is a bad person. We eat when
we’re hungry, we buy stuff when we need stuff, simple as that.
So, to my first question, what are we? Well it’s a
list, kind-of First, we’re adventurous. Right from purchasing a
cycle without any assurance whether we’ll ride it or not to falling in love
with a girl without knowing her background (without considering our background
as well). Now wait a minute, women do that too, sometimes, not so often. Well
that’s the difference, we do it every time (now don’t tell me your boyfriend
never does that, it’s a whole another topic of discussion). Very rarely do we
stop ourselves from making a decision. Women constantly worry about what others
might think or say about us if we take that step. We do stuff, worry later.
We’re travelers What is travel? Going from point A to point B in
a certain amount of time? That’s not travelling that’s commuting. How about
taking a trip to the Himalayas on our bikes then? Well friend, you've been
misled. When you put it simply, To travel is to confront one’s self. Go to the
nearest beach, at sunrise or sunset, stand at the shore without any footwear,
marvel at the scene nature paints in front of your eyes. Feel the warmth of the
sun on your skin, breathe in the serene breeze around you, feel the earth
beneath your feet and lose yourself to the moment, that my friend, is travel.
Be it on top of the Himalayas or bottom of the Atlantic ocean, how much you
lose yourself is how much you find yourself.
“Pfft! We women do that all the time”, exactly. Admiring a sunrise
or a puppy is good, but doing it every time kind of beats the purpose.
We’re foodies. Now, whoever said “the way to a man’s heart is
through his stomach”, the guy was a genius. We love food, any time of the day.
We let women rule the kitchen, not because we thought that’s where she belongs
but because we wanted you guys to cook for us. It’s a privilege actually.
Easiest way to conquer a man’s heart (and I don’t think it works the other way
around, let me explain that later). It doesn't matter what you cook or how you
cook (although a favorite dish will help the occasion), what matters for us is
that, you tried. If the dish comes out well and satisfies our palette, it’s a
sealed deal.
And finally (phew), we’re lovers. Yes girls, we love you. Doesn't matter what you do, once you find a place in our hearts, you stay there
forever. You girls show your love through care (or smothering), by being there
(or clinging), with jealousy (or possessiveness). Even though we don’t show our
love in what we do (which every girl expects us to do), the love we have for
you will always grow with time and never decline.
We love you, doesn't matter what you do. We love the way you
squint your eyes when you're gossiping, the way you tug your hair behind your
ears, how you mess up stuff and cry for silly things, how you admire every
little thing with the same kind of enthusiasm like the first time you did. We
love the way you decide or choose stuff from a bunch, the way (we think) your
mind works while thinking something. We love the way you feel so tiny when held
closely, the way you hug like you’re at your strongest when you’re with us. We
love you, like hell. Why? Beats me.
I know guys, long boring blog. There’s a reason for that. Its all
in the words!
P.S.:- this blog does not even come close to explaining what makes
us who we are, this is just a hopeless attempt at explaining what you girls
should know, from day one!
