It is the reader's interpretation that is sometimes one-sided.

But why is it that, only one side of the coin is seen.<BR/><BR/>For example consider following cases<BR/><BR/>1.Most of the guys are worried and afraid, if such a girl will suit his home. To be precise, whether his mom and this girl will get along? What if ego clash arises between these two? And the girl wants him and her to leave the parents and live separately?<BR/><BR/>2.Think of a guy. He is very studious, works in a top company. Does sandhyavandhanam morning and evening. Goes to temples on every saturday.<BR/>Spends weekend @ connemara or some library.<BR/><BR/>Will anyone girl marry him? They will respond 'Ayyo Seriyana pazha case'.<BR/><BR/>3.How many arranged marriages happen with the wishes of guy and girl? Isnt it the mother of the guy who first shortlists the girl, before the guy sees?<BR/><BR/>If this is considered as chauvinism, we men can just laugh at it. True, some men are like this. Sad fact. But isnt it the mother of such guys who cultivate this habit right from childhood? <BR/><BR/>It is so easy to jump and point fingers at men for every problem thats happening in relationships. It is not right to generalise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712958.post-1118904940616906992005-06-16T06:55:00.000+00:002005-06-16T06:55:00.000+00:00no i don't hink so. his choice doesn't matter in h...no i don't hink so. his choice doesn't matter in his wife's affair. otherwise it would be an imposition, u may call it a good one(imposition).Mukeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762686454857365083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712958.post-1118891062502388932005-06-16T03:04:00.000+00:002005-06-16T03:04:00.000+00:00A nice one Ammani.

But I'm not sure if it means that thats what is best for that person.. does it?<BR/>A man could appreciate some girl putting up with a drunkard dad, etc. etc. Does it mean that he should marry her? He should probably do what works best for him. <BR/>Same goes for the fairer sex too. She can be a fan of some guy on a job which takes him to exotic locations. Doesn't mean she'll marry him? 'cause finally she has to deal with the fact that he is not going to be home majority of the time.Rhapsoderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339709560909399779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712958.post-1118864863125377412005-06-15T19:47:00.000+00:002005-06-15T19:47:00.000+00:00Well expressed !

Agreed, some of us deserve it at times, but the comments on this one sounded a little hypocritical. <BR/><BR/>As an anonymous visitor here rightly said - admiration does not imply being in love. <BR/><BR/>The tale carries the same weight when you shift the gender "She admired their muscles, their care-free attitude, roughness, and toughness. But wouldn't want one of them for a husband." <BR/><BR/>Does that make the women hypocritical. Absolutely no! They admire the ruggedness in the guy, but when it comes to choosing their spouse they'd rather have a caring, soft, emotional and sensitive person.

There is a huge difference between being impressed with some kinds of people and wanting to have them with you for life. I might find the docile, sweet homely girl really nice on screen in a movie like Roja, but find it impossible to live with a person to whom I have to explain everything. My friend's wife is a darling, but I would never think of her as candidate wife for the simple reason that she enjoyes nothing more than going to office and coming back home to cook food for the family... :-) So be it with the gutsy, beer guzzling, sailor-tongued women...Erotemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677513867884448593noreply@blogger.com
