Ugly Truth

Today I watched "The Ugly Truth". Gerard Butler *drools*

So the movie is about how women are mellow-dramatic, control-freaks who find guys based on a checklist of suitable "traits" (which is wrong btw) and men are visual beings who will be sidetracked by any girl in the skimpiest possible outfit, think only about sex and are driven on lust and apparently incapable (or choose to be) of "seemingly-gay" feelings of L.O.V.E (which based on the movie, is how guys are structured, so girls, accept!).

Forget what i think about it [for a moment ;)]

The Evolutionary Theory (Eagly & Wood, 2002) says that men and women differ psychologically; because of the different social roles they occupy. And due to this inherent differences, they have different things to look for when selecting a partner. While both women and men are interested in physical looks of their partners, since women are often given the role of bearing and nurturing, they tend to have a checklist consisting of "traits" such as socio-economic stability etc to ensure the survival and well-being of their off-springs. Whereas men, are less interested in these "meaningless" tasks and can go on to impregnate women after women on the basis of their lusty nature
(it's not coming from me-blame it on the movie!)

NOTE: Theories are just that..Theories. They aren't proved, but for arguments sake lets just accept it as truth.

So now i'm (here we go! :p) thinking, if women have to accept how men are, why can't men accept women the way they are? It's the same kan? Men want sex, women want security (which often comes in the form of money), We have something they want, and they have something we need. Win-Win! The check-list is merely a memory-aid, even without it physically being represented on paper and ink, we have it etched and drilled in our minds.

And that ladies and gentlemen is ~ZE UGLY TRUTH~ So guys accept that!
Happy Days!

p/s: Be it Indian or Western movies, the guy sleeping around is regarded as funny, adorable, and acceptable even, but the leading ladies are always saving themselves (indirectly) for the leading men. It'll be really refreshing to see a dose of sexual liberty for women without degrading them to being whores or sluts or morally lost. Movie makers take note! ;)
