The girl with the pretty eyes was in the right mood to try and extract information from me… She silently added in the middle of a conversation “Ok! How would you describe a girl… hot or beautiful?”
I tried to be diplomatic “how about both?”… with a grin ofcourse.
Her: No! You have to pick one… hmmm Say – A. How would you describe A
Me: Interesting choice… Why this all of a sudden?
Her: Come on play along and please be frank… I promise its gonna stay between the two of us. I will tell you once u tell me
Me: Hmmm…
Her: Yes
Me: I will go for beautiful… Now tell me why?
Her: Hmmm…. And B?
Me: Crazy
Her: (laughing) Actually yeah I agree… The question is void for her and me… We are the crazy ppl
Me: Well you said that… not me
Her: (smiles) Ok!
Me: Ok now explain.
Her: I read it somewhere… That a girl should pick boys depending on how they treat them but it mentioned small details
Me: As opposed to how they treat thier bikes. Damn i thought girls based it on that
Her: (ignoring me) Never go out wid a guy that calls u hot it said…(sarcastically) Cars maybe not bikes
Me: So beautiful=good and hot=bad
Her: Sort of…
Me: hmmm
Her: So use beautiful if u are hitting on the girl… if it doest not matter to either of u… then hot is ok
Me: Coming to think of it… it does make sense. I mean, the sad part is that words like ‘beautiful’ are terribly undervalued… People call most things beautiful that maybe its not exactly worth its weight.
She listened intently as I carried on “Terms like hot and sexy are very much terms to describe physical attraction… But probably a honest ‘you are looking beautiful’ will beat ’em all. There is another way to look at it, I would rather look at someone and describe them as hot/sexy if I felt that is how others would perceive that person, in the case of beautiful, Its always what I think about that person.” I took a sip of the coffee cup and asked “So can I ask you something?”
Her: Ok…
Me: Why did you pick A?
Her: Hmmmm… I thought about it… Frankly, She is the one who would actually fit right for this question.
She added matter of factly “I could have said me… and got a nice little speech about how people dedicate songs on radios…” We both smiled…
