FRAGMENTS - THE SEGMENTS

Will You...?

I am Vincent Arber, and am an unmarried bachelor. Life is not always fair with people and so am 40 and still a bachelor. I am a good flirt, not a born one but a made one. Having to speak to nearly 100 girls every week, I've no issues luring a girl with words; I've looks, I wouldn't claim that I am the most desirable man but I feel I'm better than many others at my age. Thirdly, I earn great, although I work in a 5 star hotel, I go there only at times, I'm more into my very famous food-on-wheels which take around the city. In the many years of experience, I've learnt a lot about women. It's not hard to get one fall for a man, it's all easy, just that it's over-hyped by the men who've failed in the task. 

Stage 1 is always the impression, as we've heard the saying, "first impression is the best impression" and so impression is very important. Whatever impression is made stays and so only a talented speaker can erase the impression, if it's bad, from a woman. 

Stage 2 is courtesy, you make a woman feel honored and respected. A woman always want to rule, it's a general attitude due to the several suppressions the community have encountered in the past. A feminist or not, every woman adores a man who respects her.

Stage 3 is the merging, you pour out to each other. A woman hides feelings and emotions and secrets from people who don't trust her. Telling a woman everything important in your life gives her an impression that she is important and thus opens her hear out too. When the merging happens, it's just not long away from the finishing line. The one negative factor or say positive, it depends though, is that when a woman opens up, she wishes her listener share the same opinion as of her, it is impossible to correct an emotional woman (exceptions exist). 

Stage 4 is the comparatively the hardest and the most challenging stage, the proposal. It is here every man fails, although some girls accept simple proposals, majority of girls go for creative proposals. Why? The excitement of a creative proposal triggers in a woman a sense of unknown joy and a perplexing feeling which just gives her away. Proposing is hard as it affects one's life but it'll be an iconic moment for every man.

Stage 5 is maintaining. Many believe that proposing is the last deed but that's the reason many relations fall apart. After a woman becomes a partner, starting to exercise control over her is a bad idea as she'll bear with it only for a little time. After proposal and acceptance, stay the same, share the same craziness, and do as many things as possible with her knowledge. A few weeks or months, she will lock her heart with the man who has stood all the phases, after that whatever the man does, she'll not open the door. The relationship is secured, not forever because as like someone said, it is about always falling in love with the same person.

Stage 3.5 is the backup plan, women are unpredictable at times so there is always the need for a  backup plan. What foes it include? Everything; her likes, her dislikes, her favorite day, silly things she has done, her embarrassed moments in life, her sorrows, her weakness, her strength, her preferences, her views, her 'politics', her happiness, the hobbies she have, the movies she loves, the characters she's attached to and everything to the smallest detail about her is to be included in the backup plan because no one ever  know what will come in handy at certain crucial moments in life. When and how to use it? The wisdom in each man will tell what and when and how but the one condition is that the material shouldn't be lacking when the moment comes. There are several factors that keep two held together in place, not everything comes favorable but real talent converts even the unfavorable into favorable conditions. 

All these things went through my mind before I opened my mouth to speak to her,

"See Tessie, marriage is like a factory with just three people, God-Man-Woman. God is the owner but the other two are the production managers. The man and woman are produce what they want, not just children but also happiness, sorrow, joy, peace, harmony, feuds and many more matchless and distinctive productions. I'm thinking of starting my factory and there is a vacancy for the role of the co-producer, would you like to fill the slot?"

"What's my salary and working hours sir?" She asked.

"The working hours are from today to the rest of your life, I'll pay you daily, your salary and my love for you is your salary. Brilliant contributions will unleash additional provisions and promotions, but overall let me tell you, once you've step in, there's no turning back. The journey henceforth is straight with no curves and edges. Would you like the job?"

"I'm taking it sir, and make sure how many more come into our factory after me, my salary remains the same and so the provisions." Saying she puts her hand around my neck and presses her lips against mine and kiss me. I waste no time, I kiss her back, and we continue to exchange our love never minding the 100 eyes that are peering at us. Love is crazy, it makes you to do crazy things, said someone, I assume it's true, otherwise who in the world can make a large street silent!
