WHAT MEN WANT

Let me take you back in time... I was fourteen then. I was in ninth grade and there was a boy Vikrant in my class. In the back bench there were three girls, who used to keep giggling and sharing their boys-stories the whole day. Out of the three, one girl Ashika introduced him to me as her rakhi-brother. These three musketeers were ready to fight the whole world to protect him. He did have a notorious reputation. I smiled and thinking interfering in others’ matters was against my policy, continued minding my own business. One week later I entered the classroom premises and was definitely not surprised by what I saw- Ashika was crying. She said, “I thought... I thought Vikrant was my brother, but yesterday he... he misbehaved with me. I feel... I feel so bad. He broke my trust”. Well this is:

 Fact no 1: Don’t use the rakhi-brother or rakhi-sister trick to get close to a man. He is smarter than you think.

I had a neighbour, Mithilesh. We studied in the same college and were in the same grade. Once during exams, there was a cool twenty minutes before the bell would ring. As soon as we hear the bell we were supposed to enter the classroom and then the exam would begin. I stood outside the classroom, going through the notes of my coaching class. Suddenly Mithilesh came there and asked, “Can you give me a book to read ? I’ve not finished studying”.  I gave him the plastic cover I was carrying. He took a book from inside that and started going through its pages. Suddenly I saw that the book he was reading was of the previous day’s exam subject. I didn’t disturb him. He continued reading that and I continued reading mine.

Fact no 2: If a man is a fool and out of senses, even God can’t help him.

 There was a childhood friend of mine, Digvijay. I knew him like the back of my hand. I was just eighteen and he was six years older than me. He had recently taken his father’s business to an entirely new league all-together. His mother praised him again and again throughout the party so much that he also started believing that he was ‘Dara Singh’s baap’. He and me met and I could sense that he wanted to tell me something. He was trying but couldn’t speak. Finally I spoke, “Digvijay, tell me clearly what is in your heart”. He immediately blurted out, “I would like to have s** with you”. To which I shot back, “But Radhika is your girlfriend, since God knows how many years. Look I’ll help you”. I caught his palm and took him to his mother and told her, “Aunty, Digvijay is grown up now and he’s an achiever too. He confided in me that he wants to marry Radhika. He also told me that if you don’t arrange for their wedding soon, they’ll elope and get married. So aunty please for the sake of your son...”. She was shocked. I left the party soon after and exactly after three days received the wedding invitation card of Digvijay-Radhika. I smiled and never felt better.

Fact no 3: Men do try to sneak in their deepest desires in front of their most trusted female friend. But if she is intelligent, she can handle the situation tactfully.

I have a relative from my in-laws side. His name is Shivnath. He had only passed twelfth grade and had gone to a kannada medium school. To my horror, he had started dreaming of a beautiful super-rich BE qualified girl. He dreamt of marrying her. All my reality checks fell into deaf ears. Finally she got married to a very rich guy, ending all hopes of him(Shivnath) becoming rich by marrying her.

Fact no 4: Men do have the habit of thinking that the other person is a fool. 

I know of a guy, Srikant who was madly devoted to his girlfriend, Nikita. She was a pompous girl. And used to time and again ask him to prove his loyalty towards her. With the sole intention of fulfilling this weird tantrum of hers, he actually got married to a rich girl, Avantika. He and the later did get physical during the next two months. After this he married Nikita. In front of the whole society, in front of Avantika, he with a beaming proud smile, told Nikita, “Look Niku, I’ve converted Avantika into a prostitute. Now, you know how much I love you”. Then he immediately turned towards Avantika and told her, “I end all relations with you. I won’t even consider YOU as my wife. Leave right now to your father’s place”. Hearing this Avantika called up her brother who was a goon. He came and beat up Srikant to a pulp, even his current wife couldn’t save him.

Fact no 5: Men do have the bad habit of trying to prove, God knows what to the beloved woman in their life. In such a case they are ready to go to any extent. But also, one thing that is true is that they are beaten black and blue as punishment in all such cases, even their beloved is not able to save them.

Men want sex. But that’s no problem because women want it too. Men want love, they do want their girlfriend or wife to be physically present near them. Finally, I conclude that men are not very bad in reality. If you use the right skill to praise them, they actually will go to any lengths. You need to just channelize the idle energy that they have in the right direction.
