Battle of the Sexes - A woman's perspective!

I just saw Aaja Nachle and loved it.  Madhuri is in full form .. her dancing, gracefulness, acting .... muuuuah!  Anyway, this post is really not a review of the movie but  is still kinda related. 

One of the side characters in the movie is this ungroomed girl who is in loveee with a cutie boy.  And the only way she knows how to profess her love is by sticking to him 24/7.  She figures the more time she spends with him, he is bound to love her.  But then, lucky for her, she gets advised.  She learns from another's experience that guys are tuned differently.  She is told that the more she sticks to him, the more he is going to run away or resent her very sight.  So she first begins by becoming presentable and then starts the very popular hard-to-get game.  She realizes that this 'hard to get' game is really 'hard-to-play', but she keeps it up and what do you know!!

Yes we have learnt the tricks and work arounds ... but it makes me wonder why men and women are wired so differently.  Through some painful embarrassing experiences, some of us girls learn the above.  Others are lucky to find friends to pass on this invaluable info.   And even though, we are now educated, we still manage to reply to every email, text message and phone call of the guy we want, in a few mins.  The 'ignoring' part is a lot of hard-work for us which we succeed at here and there.  There are days when you get so fed up and take a stance - "I am going to ignore him completely today".  The phone rings, it's him, you avoid.  2 mins later, you start wondering, what if it was something life threatening(when is it ever?  And would he really call you??), I should just call to see if he is safe!  And there we go!  Ugh!  Ya you could say we are kind and considerate, but more than that, we find ourselves so dumb when we call back, and he doesn't answer ... and doesn't bother to call for the next whole week!!!!  Dammit I should have just ignored it the first time and left it at that!  

The funny thing is at the end of it, all of us have the same goal - to love and to be loved.  I guess we just like complicating the paths to attain it.  Keeps us amused huh?
