Once in a blog belonged to an Iranian guy who is studying here in pune I read; �Tell me, why every single Iranian I see and know, whether he�s married or not, and his wife is here with him or not, still has a bunch of girlfriends as well? Doesn�t this mean that they �need� it?�

I was like just tell me in which beans field you are wandering?

What these �too man to be with just one woman� kind of guys need is being left by themselves, may be this way they start to think of some basic alterations, for the sake of Korosh the Great potential descendants' chance of birth.

But the real pity is when you see girls believe this lie, and try so hard to adapt themselves which is a big challenge. It wouldn�t matter, life is not supposed to be smooth, -like Iranians say, peach in swallow- but it�s just not worth it.

It�s like the accepted norm for women is to be in a space filled with this feeling of �being never [good] enough� and a permanent �lack of satisfaction� and by this, I don�t mean physical satisfaction in particular, but mostly in the spiritual form.

Have you seen how the Iranian girls are distinguishable because always are wearing make up? (I do it too, but only whenever I like. And I�m not judging, but it makes me sad when I see how they are afraid of showing their face) It�s like none of them ever feel pretty and loveable.

When I see them I think; a person suspended in a level, unable to see how she could and should be loved and appreciated. I don�t mean merely and necessarily by a man, since until you don�t love and appreciate yourself, no body else will do it for you too.

Let�s get back to that �needed� thing, having affairs. I�ve talked about it with some of them, some say it�s because �the society� has formed like this, then I ask what�s society made up of? Me, you and others as intelligent, independent individuals, isn�t it? Or as you�re suggesting we are just some bricks in this wall and have no any other choice? Isn�t it because you want to have the benefit but not the responsibilities?

Some of them at this point give me this look and say: �Anyway, all men are like this.� This sentence is actually of comet type, possessing an invisible tail; �it�s your job to adjust yourself, or else�� give me �one hundred years of solitude� then, I say.
Although I�m actually thinking, no mister, you just took this verse they�ve sung to your ears from childhood a little too seriously; Pesar pesar ghand o asal ie. �boy boy candy with honey�.


I know, there are exceptions here as well, but please, we are talking about the percentage out of the one you must always consider for �accidents�.

I am intensely in painting mood, and I have an idea which I think a good work could be extracted of it� the thing is I need a model �a male model actually- but I don�t have any.

I was thinking couple of days ago, what if I mount a notice in this cafe, for a painting model. Then I thought how am I going to get rid of some of them, you'll never know might think or do what. You know how it�s like in traditional societies.

But do you know how great it was if I had a model right now?
