I have been thinking and brooding...musing and pondering abt what to write ...so I decided I would jus begin with something that has been bothering me for quite some time now.Its abt the sudden requests for friendship one keeps getting on these friend networks.Let me jus begin with an e.g
One Mr.X said...
"U Have An Incredible n impressive Personality, Ur Beauty is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.. have not got anything else to say because there is nothing I can say that would describe how I feel as perfectly as you deserve it....
...Would Love 2 Knw more about U..would love to make friendship with u"
ok brace yourselves...there's more to come! I dont want all of you falling off your chairs laughing(being the non-violent person that I am,I wouldn't dream of inflicting such injuries upon anyone).
Coming back to the topic,could someone please explain to me "how do u 'make' friendship?" Is there a recipe for it like home-baked cookies?I'm not quite sure if one exists.
Also,I'd like to know why is that only guys keep sending such requests to girls and why not vice versa...Does it go on to prove that the guys are eternally jobless?They've nothing better to invest their time in except for sending messages to unknown girls?
On the positive side...hats off to their undeterred spirits!Some of them seem to follow the prinicple of "Never,Never,Never give up!"Inspite of being denied the privilege of 'making' friendship,they dont't lose heart but continue to send repeated requests until either
of the 2 things happen :-
1.The girl being chafed at the repeated requests either puts him on the ignore list or reports him as bogus
2.The girl who probably doesn't want to be more rude than she already has been adds him on but refrains from ever replying to his messages.
What these guys gain out of this fruitless endeavour...i fail to comprehend.
Moreover,some guys also claim to really be cool as one Mr.Y who sent the following message to a friend..
" hi.Ur really cool ,i am a cool guy too. i would love to meet u
sometime if we get well. though Ur a busy bee try to interact with me . don't ask much in net and make a big pain."
"get well?"-are both of them sick?!
"make pain?"- 'make' friendship...'make' pain...what next?!beats me...
And if this Mr.Y happens to be the cool guy he claims to be,then why exactly does he happen to send such trash to girls who would probably send them to their righteous place(obviously trash!) immediately...!
And ofcourse there is another Mr.Z who says :-
email me
my id: zzz@xyz.com
Conditions Apply:
* If committed don't reply
* Not interested don't reply
* Outside Chennai don't interact
hmm...imposing conditions on friendship too!Or is it the aftermath of too much programming with conditional if statements!And of course we must solemnly note the point from above that committed people are not capable of making friendships.(Mr.Z, I'm sure the committed people(pseudo singles too ;-) ) out there beg to differ...)
Another Mr.P (P for philosophical?) says :-
"when it comes to future goals and visions if u keep in mind that "GOD is your Source", i am telling...u look at the whole world in different picture or different view... its like this... some advice(help) from me... u might get married in the years to come.... but take my advice... dont u ever completely believe on uer husband.. or uer family members....its just that people
whom we trust all human beings..... human beings tend to make mistakes.. or disappoint us.. but trust in god ..u wont be disappointed... if u completely believe that God is your source, u have this idea in mind i am telling u... success will accompany u... it will overtake u... "
Ahem ahem,Mr.P seems to be offering a free counselling service.And by the way, Mr.P, if success is going to overtake me,does it imply I'm going to be unsuccessful?!A point to ponder...eh?
Another trend that has been noted is that these extremely cool,philosphical guys tend to copy-paste these messages and send them to lots of girls(Its a different issue that these girls probably happen to be the best of buddies and have a hearty laugh at these messages
when they have nothing better to do!)
But jokes apart,as my friend rightly replied to one of these messages asking what 'selection criteria' (pun intended) do these guys use while sending such messages?Have they ever heard that "Beauty is only skin deep"?
hmmm...What's that saying again...Boyz will be boyz?!

hehe.. ya.. good one.. funny too
:-). actly those orkut scraps r gud time pass. !!

I totally agree with you! It is such a turn-off when random guys send messages like that!
seriously she cudnt have been anymore accurate!now i know wat those girls must ve thought about me!!!
on a serious note... really really good stuff, she seems to have made cosiderable progress on te humourous side( i know whose influencing it!)
hey manas nice work...it is really funny. i jus hope u don't hurt the feelings of some... n btw is karthikeyan referring to me?!!
i think he's referring to himself...but he's still far from being my inspiration as far as humour is concerned! ;-)
cool job. however i fail to understand how u fail to understand what these guys are after. so at the end of the note u could have added - beware. and ya i am no different from the guys u have described( if i deny i am a hypocrite) but this time around i am promoting my blog. for reasons u will know when u visit it. ask ur friends to visit it too and please contribute to the movt
that was a nice one, i'm impressed. think i should be gettin tuitions from you before i start my own blog spot. but i'm a lil upset that te comments are generalised. u have tainted the entire male sex due to a selective jobless bunch
hilarious post da.. really good stuff!! but i guess if some good lookin guy came forward with similar pick up lines.. except not so obnoxious.. we'd b flirtin back uh??
