I feel left-out because I never got to experience the masculine version of this – the unfortunate opportunity of “shopping around” for a gal since I was abroad, most of my adult life. My cousin did weekend lunches visiting prospective brides for about a year, so much so it became a joke within our circle. Finally he married someone he knew.<br /><br />Aah Sri Lanka. A land like no other.

I can't stop laughing.<br /><br />Okay, serious face on. <br /><br />This kapu mahaththaya business is such a drag isn't it? The gene is in all of us sadly. Let's just pray that it's skipped our generation, you wouldn't want to do that to an unsuspecting lass or hunkadoodloo now would ya?<br /><br />But I will say this! Relatives will always be relatives, and I guess they mean well enough, well mine don't. But some of these people, maybe the Miss incuded don't realise the spot they put us in in such instances. BUT, yes there's a but, at the end of the day, you'll have great stories to tell your grandkids<br /><br />"you know putha, this one time this one lady who I admired (cowered from) dragged me like a cave woman towards a tall man who stood there and said hehe while I was mortified of the entire mating dance/spectacle I was thrust into and was left there shuffling my feet" or something along those line...<br /><br /><br />Excuse the inner retard coming out, I need coffee, and I am hoping this goes through to you!<br /><br />I hug thee.

You need to be more like me! Cultivate a 'fuck with me and that is the last thing you would do' attitude. I mean can you seriously picture a dried up old bat of a teacher from our lovely old school telling ME that I should get married? Like seriously, can you picture the consequences? <br /><br />Sometimes it's good to be nice and polite and all that but life is too short to put up with shit like this. A relaxing holiday to SL in the midst of writing-up stress is not the place for people to piss you off - so GET pissed off and react and explode, that way you won't get pimped out like this anymore ("aiyo that PR girl, she's really crazy men, don't set up any boys with her in the future, she's nuts!" => RESULT!)Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17662013387101984384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21657491.post-18048588097228235592010-02-16T11:41:02.236+00:002010-02-16T11:41:02.236+00:00stab with nearest sharp implement.

They always think they know best. I hope we don't turn out to be like that when we grow up. <br /><br />That's a horrible thing to go through and I am sorry you did *hugs* Atleast it's not your parents who are pushing you to get married. Your parents are awesome. <br /><br />Extended family is extended for a reason and as to family friends who think they know everything, you are only down in SL once a year. <br /><br />Ah Sri Lanka :)Sabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466454275587313040noreply@blogger.com
