Why men are the way they are?

February 23, 2012

This morning, C, a colleague, sent me a mail with the following content.. She often talks or writes to me to ‘improve’ her English communication skills.. I found this interesting, and so sharing here with a few grammar changes alone :-)

A father/husband’s expectations from a daughter/wife:

When he is angry, she must be calm.
When he smiles, she has to smile and talk more.
When he argues about something with her, she must not say her opinion.
When he talks about his mistake, she must feel for him and empathize, but not talk about it.

Does this ring a bell? And if it does, do you want to add more?

    Any man who believes in this must get himself a robot.
    After all we have just one life. Why live conforming to other people’s beliefs?

    WHAT!!

    and here the daughter is such that when the father is angry, she throws an even bigger tantrum!

    When he smiles, she asks for more books

    When he argues, she argues back in the language he is sure not to understand (Read Gujju)

    when he talks about his mistakes, she says ‘maine bola tha na’ ;)

    There, R is definitely not the ideal daughter for RD :)

      Well, that isn’t any surprising because she is RM’s daughter also na ;-) R, you stay that way, ok?

      Ha ha ha! luv the ‘maine bola tha na’ part ;) I do that to Su too, but ofcos a daughter doing it might actually convince the Dad :P

    There is only one reason for Men being the way they are and that is because they are MEN :D

    C’mon, it is just a wish list ! They don’t exist in reality. Do they ?

    We have a right to dream, don’t we? After all, ours is a democratic country. Isn’t it ? :-)

      Well Raj, for your sake, lets pretend that such a thing doesn’t exist:-) After all, we all know how democratic our setup is;-)

    I am not sure if this true for father/daughter but fits well for husband/wife.. father’s of this gen are surrendering themselves even before the daughter raises her finger – adhu dhaan daily show parkaranaee.. appappaapa thanga mudiyalae Vidya..

      I guess you are right.. The dads are all ok if its the daughter:-)

    Well..in our house, mostly I get angry and he remains calm, which makes me even more angry!!!

      Adhu sari! But then, can it be any different for us? ;-)

    Men! Hmmpf! The last point esp. is so damn true :P

    There are men who would surrender to their daughters but will not give in to their wives.

    I perfectly agree on this write-up. That is how I see the Men around me behave- Esp the H factor :P and now joining the Queue is my 2.4 year old BIG MAN of the House :D . I am not complaining but ..that is how they are designed to be I guess….Some exceptions are manufacturing Defects :P .
