What Men Want...

NDTV Good Times - Lounge
Host - Rajat Kapoor
Guests - RJ Malaishka, Puneet (model / actor), Deepak (ad guy)
Topic - The done-to-death conversation on Mars and Venus and their expectations from relationships

some gems from the show -
Till a man is single - he has no clue on what he wants...
When he gets married - he has all clues on what he doesnt want!!

Women treat men in their lives as a lifelong science experiment!!

Men want their women to make them feel better about themselves...

One of the best quotes of the show -
Actually what men truly want is for their women to join them at the gaming console and be a part of their world!! ;-)

Loved that bit completely...

The new age woman has been written so much about that its almost nauseating. on the other hand - poor men! so ignored and underestimated... almost written-off actually..

they get stereotyped as the helpless mutts who have been forcibly removed from their mom's aprons and are now aspiring to search out the Mary whose poor lamb they can become... :-) ...however before you bring out the hankerchief to wipe your sympathatic tears pls remember that the expectations men have from women in their relationships hasnt changed!! they show complete solidarity with their dad's on that front..
As one of the guys on the show put it - Like my Mom on the day am tired and like a beer drinking buddy on the day i have time!!

Grrrrrrrr...

Have always said that i have complete sympathy for men of our generation - they've grown us seeing women like their moms and then they get women like us as life partners!! ;-) i mean - its really inhuman isnt it?? how can it be realistically possible to adjust so much in one lifetime!!!?

:-)

Anyways - my take on what men want -
- Space
- Sex
- Someone sensitive to their needs

Come to think of it - life cant really be simpler than that - can it? My only submission to that is - just how comfortable is the new age man with a woman who might want exactly the same things??

Does someone have any opinions on this?

makes us men sound like guinea pigs! I agree "space" is required by both partners, but it is also the reason people drift apart..its a double edged sword

Reading is what saved me…

  Its funny to say or hear this but its true. In my life, books happened very early on in life and I got totally hooked to the escape they offered. Given our financial constraints growing up, books were a cheap way to get those kicks in life. A nearby renting library with an endless supply of M&Bs and Georgette Heyer’s and other similar ‘fluffy’ fiction – made it all super easy. I devoured books from the school library, shamelessly borrowed (and returned) books from friends and neighbors and never shied away from being seen with a book at the every juncture. Its truly a wonder that i didn' t get glasses at that stage in life! Books saved me from the stress that financial constraints bring to a child’s mind. Books saved me from the boredom that brings on negative thinking. Books told me that having and expressing emotions were totally fine – I could shed copious tears while reading without any fear of judgement. I could laugh out loud at a smart and sassy scene. Instead they...

F$#@ Buddies

When I first heard this term – in all my naivety (yes it DOES apply to me at times!!) – I really thought it means its someone who’s a buddy and you also f@#$ them… seemed to make little sense to me at that time – simply because I thought that’s what I define as my perfect formula for a life partner!! Why coin a whole new term for something as basic as say a soul mate etc… Only later did I finally grow up to realize that there’s a whole new world out there in which terms like this make so much sense… and its not what I thought… Its someone who u f@#$ and can be sure to keep it a secret like a buddy!!! Or it’s a buddy - who when u’re down and out, you can ask for a f@#$ if you really need it!! Now why did this come to mind now… well simply becoz in a recent episode of ‘sex and the city’ – the girls are discussing this! And I was wondering about this kind of relationships – if they can be called that. Especially so in our culture here - where most people in my circle at least (or so i wud...

Starting Over...

In life, beginings and ends form such a crucial part of living - never have i realised it more than in the last month or so. Both personally and professionally - too many things are ending and too many new ones are beginning. Its very easy to get nostalgic about whats ended - easier still to forget that it was us who wanted that stage to end ourselves. All because somewhere or the other in our heart - we're scared of the next stage... scared of not being sure... maybe of not having the comfort of belonging - like how we did earlier. Leaving aside the personal changes - professionally, after working for 14 years non-stop, i quit. To the world - i've taken a 'break'. No plans, No hidden cards (yes i got told that by quite a few), No waiting-by-the-side offers... just needed to not feel fatigued in life and figured that it IS after all, MY OWN LIFE... so i can do what feels right to me... without guilt, or feeling irresponsible, or even just guilt of being lazy!! Its my go...
