Manymen insist that girls can’t stop talking. How do they deal withit?Just as men can’t stop watching cricket – atleast, some of them – many girls can’t stop talking. Or, so say men.What do girls talk about? It could be about anything under the sun: that is,subjects such as cooking, knitting, problems with buddies or with domestic helpand discussions on what to buy especially if it is unnecessary!
Dumbmen twitch their eyebrows, thereby expressing their displeasure, and invite theire of the opposite sex.
But smart men use smart tactics.
Among themare:
Nod, nod, nod: Nodding toeverything that a girl says is a cool device. It doesn’t take much effort,and the ‘nodder’ can afford to be on some other planet –mentally – while the girl believes that he is with him all the time.Works, this one.
The odd‘yes’ or ‘no’: Wake up every 15 minutes, andreact to what the girl says. Just a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ isfine, as long as your usage of the monosyllable makes contextual sense. This isespecially useful with girls who are wary of guys of the nod variety. In otherwords, when you answer, they are convinced that you aren’t merely hearing,but actually listening.
Go to thewashroom: The best device any man can use. See, if you interrupt agirl’s monologue to make a telephone call, or switch on the television,she will get bugged with you. If you attempt to leave the place, you will stir adormant volcano and the lava will hit you hard. But if you say, ‘sorry, Ineed to go to the washroom’, no reasonable girl will be annoyed. Once yougo to the washroom, you can relax and read the comics pages of a newspaper. Whenyou come out, you will be rejuvenated and ready to handle the second part of themonologue.
Just as many girls need to deal with men who can’tstop watching TV, many guys need to live with girls who can’t stoptalking. But then, as they say very famously, every problem has a solution.Where there is a brain, there is a way.
