50 Shades Of Men

• A well-to-do, intelligent and educated man in his early thirties...a loyal son, a mischievous friend and a protective gentleman. He motivates you, he inspires you. He gets caught in a turmoil between his father's perspective and his rational thinking. Instead of communicating and clarifying the situation, he blocks you from all social websites leaving you completely appalled. Why did a grown up man behave like such a child?

•  A decade old friend... sensitive, caring and a good listener. He knows your weaknesses yet he always reminds you of your strengths.  He always critiques, motivates and supports you. His friendship is a lifetime guarantee for you but in reality, no guarantee lasts that long. Hypocrisy, indifference and greed creeps in. He is superficial; he is judgemental. Was his friendship always such a lie?

• A sweet, polite and friendly guy... He is willing to travel 25 kilometers in the wee hours of the morning just to brighten up your mood. He can talk to you the entire night to listen to your girly fusses of life. He can carry your shopping bags for you. A good companion soon turns into a perfect boyfriend unless you find out that he is cheating on you with your own friend. What made him take such a big risk without any fear of being caught?

• A fun-loving, handsome and playful flirt of the college... he falls in love with the simplest and the most innocent looking girl of the college who later breaks up with him 'for a better option'. He yells, he cries; he is hurt, he is angry. He curses her to never be happy in her life again yet when he meets that girl, 12 years later, completely defeated in life, he vows to keep her happy forever. Why does he care for her so much?

What is it with these men that we can never figure out? How do they always end up surprising us either with their goodness or with their childishness? I understand that men hate to talk about their feelings. That is why sometimes we can never figure out who the real person is. Many say that people change but I say that people are always the same. It is just that in times of difficulties is that their true self is revealed.
