Men will be men!

Men are men. Men will be men. Have you heard women say that often? Surely, because most guys have certain habits that are simply immutable.

Men are men. Men will be men. Have you heard women say that often? Surely, because most guys have certain habits that are simply immutable!
Does that mean that men are incorrigible flirts who cannot take their eyes off other women even when they are in stable relationships? It doesn’t. But what it ‘does’ imply is that guys - the best of them - manage to irritate their partners due to some qualities that they fail to get rid of!
‘Booked’ at the wrong time:
Being a bookworm is great. Reading when one’s partner wants to talk is the opposite. Some men have the disgusting habit of flipping through a book or a magazine when the partner wants to communicate desperately. Such guys will insist that it is an innocuous habit. As for their partners, well, ask them what they think.
TV and biwi:
Men are television addicts. At least, many of them. They find ways to enjoy the most ridiculous of programmes when they can give some quality time to their relationships. Women suffer this indulgence with immense patience. Then comes that moment when they leave their chairs, pick up the remote and switch off the television!
Guy talk:
Applies to some men. When two of their kind gets together – with two ladies for company – they tend to hijack the conversation with typically guy talk on everything right from cricket to action movies. Women tend to get bored .Men go on and on. The repercussion is anyone’s guess.
In love with lethargy:
Again, applies to some men. When not at their workplaces, instead of sharing domestic chores, they oversleep and overeat and generally do nothing else. The partner hates such an attitude. But she knows that man is too ‘manly’ to change.
Does that mean that women have no weaknesses at all? They certainly do. Ask men, and some of them will surely tell you that their partners are married to cell phones!
