You might have heard people talk about this all the time but I'm going to do it anyway and bore you. Since I'm surrounded by women all day, I'm also surrounded by make up, shoes and accessories. Though I will grudgingly admit that they are necessary, I still dont understand the need, obsession and fascination.The unecessary meticulous ladylike behavior that involves combing your hair a million times, going all the way to the loo to only set your hair and the never ending frown when you're perfectly manicured nail is chipped, grates on my nerves.Women keep drinking hot water and eat ONLY fruits, starving themselves. It's disgusting.They say no to chocolate, know the exact amount of calories in each food item and have strict diet plans everyday. Fairness creams are at the top of my hate list. It's pathetic how women want to be fair and thin all the time and are complexed about their color and weight.
We are Indians.
We are brown chicks.
The white chicks are outsiders.
And our figure is supposed to be curvy,dammit!
And this stupid obsession all boils down to men. Yes,I'm going to actually go on a men-hating spree at the moment, which my female friends will applaud. However, my lovely girlfriends, you are no less stupid. Even worse, in fact for giving in.


The matrimonial columns firstly.


Wanted:


Beautiful fair woman of average height, with good educational qualification, who knows how to cook and is respectful to elders.


Translation:


I want someone who I can show off for her looks and my parents can show off for her docility.

My translation: Revolting.

Just stop and think for a moment. Nah, dont think. When you think, then you do the normal stuff. Because then you see the sense in doing it. If you dont 'fair' up soon... you're gonna be busted and you need to have that ring on your finger by 29. It's a timeline you have worked out for as long as you can remember and you cant let go of it. Why? Because then you're choices narrow down. Badly. Why again? Oh yes, you get worse looking by then. So you're man does the deed before that and you get your cradle to deal with too. Easier for him,isnt it?Quite brilliant the plan is, really.



I'm not telling men to search for inner beauty. Hell, even I'm not that deep. Neither am I telling women to stop making an effort to look good. But men need to get rid of that 'fair=virignal' stereotype and women need to stop starving themselves. They need to stop asking questions like 'Do I look good today?' or 'He'll never look at me. He prefers hot women.' I will shake those women into oblivion.


Unfortunately and fortunately, I have been on the receiving end of being overlooked for a much fairer,quiter and delicate woman. She's never run a mile in her life(being naturally thin even though she has her love handles after starving herself) and is the nice and 'sensitive' person. But the man is intelligent. Brilliant, in fact.That's what confuses me. But in the end, he chose her. It wasnt a war and it was subtle but I was bewildered, nonetheless. I know what its like to have your ego mangled up and you look at yourself in the mirror and say, "What's not good enough? What does she have that I dont?"


You probably have more and I did dammit, but he didnt see it. "'That's his loss", you say? I dont think so. He's got exactly what he wants. A perfect doll with minimal intelligence because he doesnt have to deal with it. It's a plus point really. Being dumb. Not 'blonde' dumb. I meant 'damsel in distress' dumb. She doesnt need saving all the time but atleast she looks like she would want it. She doesnt shrug off help when he offers. She doesnt frown when he opens the door for her or pulls out the chair.
Yes, I have been tempted. It's easy to be lured into being this way if you're a woman.And trust me, it's easy to be that way too. AND it works! But please..dont.
You look at the racks of shoes in a shop and realise there's a pair of high heels that will make you look soo good. But you couldnt possibly walk in them for very long and you've never been comfortable in heels. But still..they make you look so good....
Yes, I've been there. But better sense has prevailed, thankfully and I have moved on to the next row and bought the pair of flats.
This isnt a feel good post where fat women(I know all women think they're fat but these are for the OBESE women.) can say 'Hey,I dont need to feel bad anymore.I can still get a guy because I'm intelligent.' This isnt for dark women to say,'Men are idiots.'

This is for fairness cream and hot water addicts to ask themselves..

'Who are you doing this for? And when do you stop?'
