The Fairer Sex

My dad made me read this article in the morning newspaper, and it got me thinking about the "Fairer Sex". Given that I belong to the category, it is perhaps all the more appropriate that I write something about it.

During my school years, I often used to play cupid for my "love struck" friends (although, I wonder if any of us actually knew what 'love' really meant!) Anyway, I used to write poetry for these friends and work as mediator when they got into arguments. Something I had noticed then, and continue to observe till date is that guys; no matter how plain Jack they might be, want the prettiest girl in town! They are not bothered what the nature of the girl is, she has to be 'fair, slim and beautiful'.........now where else have I noticed those 3 words??

Oh yeah........in almost every matrimonial ad!!!

We often talk about inner beauty; how the heart of a person is more important than the face, because it is the internal beauty that is truly eternal.........utter rubbish!! If all this were really true, girls wouldn't be swooning all over the place to reach size 0, or spend truckloads of money at beauty salons to attain a certain level of superficial beauty!

However, there are still a few left who think that the nature of the girl is of utmost importance. There are those, who think that the caring nature, vibrant, heartfelt smile and open hearted laughter are the true assets for a girl. There are those who feel that if a girl is concerned more about keeping the people around her happy, rather than concentrating on her broken nail, she is worth spending the rest of your life with!

Any girl you know who is like that??
