They'll call me a woman-hater after this.
But no, I might just in fact love women too much.
Men age much better than women, that's for sure. Look at the average age of male stars in both Hollywood and Bollywood, and the average age of female stars. Also, in both cases, compare the average screen-life of these people.
When men age, they appear rather more 'distinguished' and 'weathered', in a good way...of course this, unless they go bald or develop a pot belly or something.
When women age, they...well, lets just say its not pretty.
Why am I writing this?
Well, because all us guys, you guys reading it, and me writing it, we need to realize something right now...we're in a society which over-values women at our age. We're never going to win. No girl is going to fall in love with you, swoon, go crazy and try to woo you any way possible. It just doesn't work like that. There are exceptions, of course, but screw them (pun intended).
No girl is going to seduce you, like you fantasize about, like you watch movies about...like you have wet dreams about. Naaa...that just won't happen now.
You're just going to have to go batshit insane about a girl, and let her screw with your thoughts, and play with your emotions if you want to get into the game now.
Face it, at this age, with the value we put on females, and the value they put on us, its like trying to play football and score a goal on an uphill ground. Sure, some of us will bicycle kick our way into the history books, but most of the time, shit just sucks.
But
Wait...don't go nuts about that girl just yet...wait.
Wait till the market stabilizes, and then gradually turns in your favour. Once they're on the wrong side of 30, they won't be being hit on by every guy they know. No!
It sounds stupid, and I'm not suggesting we all sit on the bench till we're 30, but don't beat yourself up about it. I see guys doing all sorts of crazy things over a girl. Oh I'm in lurve...
Hell, I've done crazy shit too, being all messed up over some female! I still do it!
But it's not worth it! Don't commit yourself, we're too young.
And our generation's way too messed up to think that there are no girls going to be left by that time. Hell, half the people I know are going to end up divorced, I'm sure of it!
Things are changing...this is not the world of our parents, things are going to be wild, baby...WILD!
So, have fun...sleep around(my mom reads my blog, I shouldn't be writing this...), don't take things so seriously...we're the underdogs here, and we're supposed to get pushed around this early in the game. But wait a few years, when they're not the center of attention anymore.
They'll come running.
And do post a comment if I outrage you. I'd love to hear about it.
The mark of a mature man, is a certain scar he bears: the memory of a perfect woman never won, or of a once true-love, forever lost...
However much he may love you, he is only here because she is not.
half time!!

ReplyDeletedude, loved the quote at the end.
ReplyDeleteAngry, although good.
ReplyDeleteBut don't generalize so much.
It is not as simple and uncomplicated in case of girls as you have analyzed it to be man. Girls have so much at stake for a relationship and it is but natural that they take long and hard to commit- generally (there would be exceptions when cupid strikes at first sight). And there is always much more than looks or physicality in their case as your cartoon has aptly depicted.
ReplyDeletei'm not analyzing girls, i'm just calling it like it is...
ReplyDeleteand thats not what this post is about...
this post is not about putting down girls...not at all...
this post is about giving heart to the guys...
I am also talking about 'giving heart' to the guys
ReplyDeleteAhem.
ReplyDeleteInteresting.
Makes me think.
Nice comics.
Vehement expression.
Great bottom line.
Maybe a little stereotypical, but I'll let that pass.
Oh, and I love the morphing you did on the header.
ReplyDeleteI am disappointed, this coming from you. By the way, have you seen a typical Indian male in his thirties? Is bald, has a paunch, belches, is too self occupied, and is generally quite a put off. So its not as girls will age and get divorced and guys will be the same. They logically will also be divorced, and you will agree will also age.
ReplyDeleteWhy the hell would they come running?
My advice: don't be wild, don't sleep around, get real, have better dreams and wait for the right person to come along, and Im sure for her you'll be the guy.
I know that's you, mum...
ReplyDeleteLook, I know you've taught me ever since I've been what, 10 years old - 'never disrespect a woman'...
well, i promise you, that is not what i intended in this post...what i intended was to re-assure guys who're reading this, my age, that THIS is not it...this is NOT the whole game...this is NOT their entire life...that life does not begin at 17 and end at 25...that THIS is not the time to be freaking out about GIRLS...that life continues, even improves later...
that girls our age will always have a predisposition to overlook guys their age and look up to older men, who're 'wiser' (whatever...), or more prosperous...i don't know...
this post is NOT about putting girls down...they're brilliant...some of my BEST friends are girls, infact MOST of my best friends are girls...
this is just not our time...we're not in demand
i'm just saying this is not the time to put all our eggs in one basket...
and thanks sudeep, i always value your feedback
ReplyDeleteits nyc...rele like d comics..but u came up wid lot of generalized conclusions..still i liked it:)

ReplyDeleteI'm enlightened...something to chew on..btw the last line ws just too good...there's a lot at stakes and a lot more to look forward to..then why piddle away your time trying to woo a bunch of pudding heads...liked it :)
ReplyDeleteYou have sort of hit the nail on the head. Anyway, women like men who treat them like shit. This is not an opinion of mine. This is a fact that is based on the now redundant but psychologically hard-wired evolutionary imperatives of the average female. Trust me, this is the stuff of stellar peer reviewed research papers and such. So, the more dominance you exhibit to women, the more they want your cack. Committing is losing power in the game. Yes, it is a game. Being secure, elusive and smooth is the way to go. Women don't like a wuss. Is this good? Probably not, I could not say. Its all in the game though, dont hate the player.
ReplyDeleteNice read
ReplyDeletekeep up the good work
