Ok, seriously. What is the need for every man to try to understand women? We are complicated. Deal with it. I have read umpteen pieces on how confused women are, and how hypocritical and strange they are. Ever looked at it from our side? I don’t want to sound feminist here. No. That is one thing I am not. What I mean is, has anyone ever realised how difficult it is for women to understand men? And no, a man’s state of mind does not alternate only between being hungry, horny and sleepy. Sex is important. Very. And they make a show of how starved they are. But try and talk to a man about things that do not revolve around his prowess in bed, sports, business, and politics, and you will realise that they are more confused than women.
I have always been led to believe that a man always hankers for copulation. But, a deeper look unveiled a very different side. I am 27 and single. In India, it means that either something’s wrong with me, or, on a more ‘scandalous’ note, I am a lesbian. Honestly, neither of them is true. I mean, the second one is DEFINITELY not, and I would like to believe that I do not have any major drawbacks…I am just quirky. Well, my parents are worried. My relatives are worried. The uncle who lives with his wife and three demented children on the third floor in the B wing of my building is worried. The sole question – when will this woman get married?
Well, I wish the answer to this question was easy. In fact, after having gone through my share of relationships, I am still at a loss about what is it that a man looks for in a woman. Being the journalist that I am, I decided to ask some of my male friends, married and unmarried.
A man wants his woman to be independent, but if she does not ask him to check whether she has filled out a cheque properly, she thinks too much of herself.
A man wants a woman who is serious about her career, and if she is, she loves her work more than she loves him.
A man wants a woman who is erudite, but if she holds open discussions with other men, then she is promiscuous.
A man wants a woman who can make her own decisions, but every decision must be taken after consulting him.
A man wants a woman who is great in bed, and if she is, he accuses her (in his mind) of being easily available to other men.
A man wants a woman who can socialise, have a drink, and enjoy a party, but if he sees a woman drinking, she is not suitable for him.
A man wants a woman who has clarity of thought, but if she makes her thoughts clear, she is imposing.
A man wants a woman who has a life of her own, but he wants her entire world to revolve around him.
A man wants a woman who is good looking, even if he is bald and has a pot belly.
And they talk about women being confused!
Shenanigans - Of my mind! 
Don’t forget, marriage is the ‘Panacea’ for all evils. Lost ur parents? Get married! God forbid if u r a single woman living alone in a Metro. All everyone can think abt is finding a suitable match for u!!
Forgive my ramblings! Great post.
