Why do pretty girls don’t propose anymore?
Just in case you didn’t know, I am 32 years old. Considering all the bullshit I deliver on Ouchmytoe, you probably thought I was a stud bull. Unfortunately, I am just another old man, who in 20 years time will get an ICICI loan for his daughter’s marriage to a US-based Software Engineer.
Just to ensure, they didn’t feel any pressure I said: “I want you to understand that we want you to branch out and grow because ibibo cares for you, and not that we don’t need you anymore.”
“Yeah, we understand.” They said in unison.
“You trust me, right?” I asked.
While the handsome intern remained silent, the pretty ones let out the killer statement: “Jammy, we aren’t worried. You are like a father figure to us!”
Their statement hit me like a lead bullet…penetrated me, and left from my back leaving a wide wound. But I didn’t let my guard down…after all I was a true-blue professional.
Back home, I asked my wife: “Do I look old?”
“Not very,” was her response.
I looked into the mirror. I wasn’t balding. At least, not yet. My hair wasn’t graying. But I had dark circles around my eyes, thanks to long hours in front of my laptop. Wrinkles had only started camping at the corners of my eyes – but the dark skin was helping camouflage it. I smiled at myself, just to be sure that my smile didn’t betray a few wrinkles – they didn’t.
What could be wrong? I asked myself…why was I being considered a father figure…and why not a buddy?
We Rajans believe in cross checking everything. A practice, my father ingrained in us…while trying to investigate the crimes me and my two sisters committed as kids.
“Are you sure you saw Sumathy (the younger sister) use crayons on the white-washed walls?” he would ask us. If one of us answered in the negative, Sumathy wouldn’t have to wash her own clothes that day. Though we made sure, she always did.
“All girls in the right age group consider me to be a father figure. Why? Why me?” I asked Mohak Gambhir (no relation to Gautam Gambhir), a male colleague in office.
“Hmm…tough question. But I can keep a watch on you and get back with answers.” Mohak is a man with solutions…so I decided to wait for his answer.
Two days later, he got back with his analysis. He had a flow chart ready…which looked like this:
I have been pretty upset since Mohak submitted this document. Now, can you give me solutions to revive my flagging flirtatious career?

well jammy its been a long u have tried out ur flirt skills to girl unkown to you. try them on a gal who dosent know u and for god sake dont tell him u are the same JVR who write @ ouchmytoe.com.
I am sure ur skills needs just brush up and you will be soaring away. Best of luck.
see, the problem lies rt up there under the 2nd box where u talk incessantly of the lady loves in your life. Married women think you’re too married , and unmarried ones think you’re sho shweet
You’ve pretty much shot down all flirt avenues after that, no matter how young/cute/handsome you look
Suggestion: Hover like a satellite over the ladyloves talk, but come down to earth and ask questions on the girls’ – seem interested, especially don’t volunteer more info than necessary.
finally, a truly hilarious post!
And stop leching at my interns. Rekha, you there?
Hey Jammy, did you know young girls dig old men??
and they fall for all those married old men… Man, you are in luck!
[May not be exactly true, but at times like these, its these words which count]
maybe you shld ask one of your interns to read this blog… then may be they would understand your TRUE feelings
Well its nice sharing i have ever seen
Lolz, its nice
chk this also found it much interested

how can a (say around 20 years) girl call you father figure… ?? may be you are eyeing them in a bad manner
so to safe gaurd themselves they have made you father instead of buddy….
see not even brother, straight to fatherly figure…., this techniques have been used by girls even if the male is only 10-12 years elder to them…haha
Hey Jammy,
Understand your feelings. But as someone before has commented young girls prefer married men(atleast for flirting)….did u know?
jammy these sofeware geeks wont workout for yu … keep trying 4 the airhostess bro
I would say you got off lightly. You should only be concerned if you hear words like “Grand daddy” or “Santa”. I mean, what else can you expect at your (advanced) age?
hahahahahhahha…..
nice flowchart!!
Long time, nice to be back here..I had almost forgotten tht blogs could be this fun!

And besides, if there is any left? Why would they have to? It’s the GUY’S problem!

well pretty girls might not propose.. but they do seduce. Recently I seduced a guy in my office lift. if you want to read more about it you can go to my blog.
If there’s that need to interact with others and get to know them like never before, a little flirting couldn’t harm you that much. In fact, if you were at a forum with likeminded individuals it’ll make life a lot easier for you. You don’t need to keep all the things you wish to discuss all to yourself.
Have all the discussions you want to and enjoy your adult life. It’s the freedom everyone deserves, so why should you hold back. Participate in forums that share the same enthusiasm as you and enjoy the flirting scene like never before.
We’re looking for new members who like to flirt!
