Friday fun!

So, I had a perfect start to the weekend today.  A team-mate got married recently and decided to treat us, to celebrate one of the golden moments. And the usual chat session commenced. 11 men vs the only girl in the team!!! Pros and cons of marriage and all those talks to convince themselves that women are weird [instead proving that they are ;)] hmmpf!!!!

Disclaimer: All characters here are non-fictional and there can be a number of men who can relate to these because all men are born equal 😛 😛  And yeah, take it light!

The newly-married man has already made so many observations:

1. The wife who was so soft-spoken that he had to ask her speak loudly now shouts tells ‘Aye chup’  @ every instance.

I have a doubt why men ‘fall’ for a girl and marry if they all feel so even before 😉 bcoz I saw the bachelors nodding their head too 😉

2. All those girls who were never seeing him before have started staring @ him 🙄 and he feels so bad that he has been taken!

They must be wondering who is that girl who saved them all! The safety quotient is what makes them stare @ you and say a prayer for ur wife 😛

3. Don’t give a gift and she questions why? Give her a gift and she says its very expensive …. huh?

————————————————————————————————————————————

So, the next person chips in and says women are very accommodative in the first year and then it keeps reducing and then when the price of gifts decline year by year, they take it all out after the 5th year citing how the quality of gifts kept getting worse!

And naturally, it now shifts to phone bills during the courtship period. I wonder how men have all the time in the world to go on and on then and cut the call saying busy every-time now. Were they not working before 😛 And the most experienced person among the lot says:

Its to ascertain the risk factors and work on risk mitigation!

What management skills 😉

———————————————————————————————————————————–

They ask the newly wed his wife’s favourite colour and say they will look out for him wearing those tees in the nearest future 😉

Am not sure if we really do that! Even otherwise, aren’t they secretly loving it 😉 😉

———————————————————————————————————————————–

And now for the true colour of men 😉

It seems a colleague’s wife asked him how she looks in a particular dress. Instead of replying to her qs, he asked her when had she bought it? She had to remind him they had gone there together etc.. etc… And he says ‘Oh ya! I saw another girl wearing the same dress in office yesterday’. Still no answer to her qs.

Now now, why do they complain they don’t have as much memory power as women? They can remember all this eh?

————————————————————————————————————————————

Now springs up another one from nowhere.

Says he ‘My wife picked up 2 more brooms in addition to the 4 @ home because they were on some discount sale!!!

Buddy, she is being so so thoughtful, not buying dresses or something for herself in the sale but something so important to keep the house clean .. Please understand, will you?’

————————————————————————————————————————————

So, they conclude that men are practical and ‘search’ for a good girl while girls hunt for ‘Mr.Perfect’, ‘Mr.Right’ etc..!

He he he .. girls have found the right way to postpone their marriage and get their parents to go slow .. because they know they r looking for something which does not exist!!!!And why do u ppl have to search .. girls and good are synonyms 😐

And then, why do I hear someone saying ‘Ms.Universe’, ‘Apsara’ etc.. etc.. 👿

Men will be men! Baah!

    1. That was a true fun post Swar 😀 😀

      Am still smiling reading the funny reactions of your colleagues 🙂 Though the words might change, but all these stories remain the same the world over 😀 😀

      Thoroughly enjoying your posts celebrating and giving a new meaning to each day of the week 🙂

      Hope you have a fantastic weekend ahead!!

  1. Men bashing posts seem to be the trend these days. You will have a lot of females supporting this and a lot of JKGs backing you up too ! But Im glad your post had atleast a sense of humor ! 😀 😀 😀
    Oh really 😛 Hey dumbo, dint I tell u abt it before posting .. y act surprised nw 😉

    For all you know, whatever she says must be stupid and he has no other choice than shut her up. He must have not known her ‘stupidity’ side when she was soft spoken ! 😀 😀 😀
    :grrrrr Thatz what men think 👿

    Im not kidding, but this is true. Men get a lot of stares from women only after they are engaged. I believe, you girls, find it safe to flirt then !! 😀 😀 😀
    OH ho ho ho .. u think we hv nothing better to do?

    You see, all men arent alike. I hardly used the phone to speak to my wife during our courtship. I was busy with my blogs then and even now ! 😀 😀 😀 but in all respects, I second, third and even fourth what your colleagues had to comment on that. Again, Im not a gift person. I didnt even wish my wife properly on her bday last year !! 😀 😀 😀
    Lemme ask Laks ..u r abnormal then 😛

    A guy who remembers what color dress a girl has worn on the previous day is nothing but a psychopath !!! Not all guys are like that ! I dont even remember what I wore this morning !!
    But u do remember the length of the skirt of the girl next to u no 😉

    and no comments on the shopping bit, except for the fact that when it comes to shopping, all women are alike ! 😀 😀
    Ya, we do something worthwhile unlike u men …seeing girls, guessing their age, whether they hv a BF etc..etc 😉

    Girls and good seems to be synonyms it seems. We have a recent example now – Madhuri Gupta !! 😀 😀 😀 😀
    And who got her to do all that .. poor innocent girls 😐

  6. It’s a fad – everyone wants to crib about marriage – before they’re married and after! People who’ve never even had a girlfriend all their lives do it. Wonder what experience makes them speak so. They probably think it’s ‘cool’ to talk that way. Thankfully, A doesn’t do that….else he’d have it coming =D

  7. wow.. this is a very fun post swaram..

    I can relate so much about the phone call. During the courtship myself and hubby used to talk hours together. But now, i just get a call twice, once in the morning for 5 secs, that he reached office and evening for 5 secs, that he left office. cant help it :)..

    Just enjoyed this post.

  8. Gosh!! Swar, they need to keep some sort of ‘civility entrance exam’ for people who want to join your organization!! Why do men think so stupidly?! Or maybe its just a harmless joke for them , they laugh it off, then go back to their ways and homes?!! Infact, women are the ones who have the right to crib about the man’s unchivalrous behaviour and dwindling attention span after marriage.

    No questions about female memories. One remark and you will be poked forever with a history. 🙂 Males who do that are an absolute rarity.

  10. I think men feel ‘left out’ if they don’t make these standard statements about women! As, they might become outcasts if they didn’t feel the same way!
    But, when they are single, they will be desperate to join the bandwagon, always! So that they can join in with their two cents!
    Really funny post, Swaram, I am still smiling! 😀
