Contradicting the myth

They say "there are 2 kinds of men in this world – Good & Bad".
Both want the same thing from a woman, difference is in the way they approach. Bad people are more straightforward, and express their feelings blatantly, while good people fox their way into a woman’s heart. So who should you be more scared of?

A lot of men are termed as flirts/Casanova. Seriously, does a woman really know what the terms mean? I doubt. Even if they did, they forget to ask 1 question. Where did they learn their skills?

Koi apne maa ki kokh se seekh ke nahin aata. It’s the circumstances they face that turn them into one. One heart-break or a major betrayal leads them to believe they are losers in life. Some time in their life their confidence must have been crushed under the feet of the one they loved. Everyone has the right to redeem. Yes the likes of Devdas didn’t really seek to win. But, we aren’t figments of a writer’s imagination. There’s just one way we can regain confidence – Win the battle you lost. And win them again and again.

In the process you curb a lot of emotions; you make a lot of enemies, the worst one being yourself.

Once, a girl told me that having sex won’t solve my distress, nor would relieve me of the psychological suffering. But then again there was just one way to find out. Hate to say, she was right.

Worst phase in life arrives when you don’t want to win any more battles. You have regained your confidence and you want to fall in love once again. Sadly your reputation precedes you. You are known to be a heartless practical bastard who doesn’t give a fuck about emotions. I don’t know what’s practical, all I can say is I’m honest.

I can’t love your dog, I can’t look at the moon and write a poem, I can’t listen to your best-friend’s sob story. Yes I am selfish and all I want to listen to is you and us. But, the world knows I am a flirt, so she knows that I am a flirt.

And then there are friends who are so madly in love that they feel that pre-marital sex is a sin.

Fact – Sex is the only time when you look into your partner’s eyes and forget the rest of the world. The best candle-light dinner or the best long drive cannot match half the passion you display while you make love. By the way I heard love is all about passion. I hope I’m right about that.

They tell me I have never loved before. Reason – I am a happy man. According to them after a break-up one cannot fall in love again, or one cannot forget the person. Well, it’s good to know that I am not the biggest loser in the world. Only the weak hold on to things, the brave will let it go. Of all the people who marry only 20% marry the people they love. Does that mean the remaining 80% are sinners. No they are simply more matured. They have a better control on their lives.
IF YOU CAN’T CONTROL YOUR LIVES, THEN STOP LIVING IT.

Of course I can always be the good boy who writes poems, who takes your dog for a walk, who stands on a peak and shouts out your name. I can do all that, but that’s not me. So who did you exactly fall in love with? More importantly who’s being selfish?

I don’t know if I’m good or bad, all I can say is that no one in this world is perfect. And, only the perfect can point out the imperfections in someone.

oh i just love it...specially the friends thinkin pre marital sex is a sin part...lol(in today's day n age? really?)...cant get over it.however, there's a thin line between being honest n being blunt, the former being a little more considerate about a person's feelings, therefore the way in which truth is put forward is a tad bit different. opinions vary in a lot of other points. still makes it a gud piece :)

Two things. One. Honesty and sensitivity are not mutually exclusive. Two. Real understanding of a relationship begins when the dance of romance is done and over with.
And there are only two kinds of people. People who know how to be happy. And people who don't know how to be happy.

Cheers Joy. Well written.

Everyone can feel. Just that, for those who've been stepped on, heart-broken or anything... you just gotta dig deeper to excavate the love outa them.

It takes guts to be honest and open about what's inside. This is super stuff. Fabulous display of emotions.
