When Meenachi Says ‘I Love You’ First ……(macha reaction)

Ladies have feelings too and many of us tend to fall in love with machas out there, regardless whether they are karats, average or educated machas. Many meenachis prefer to keep quiet – afraid that they will be rejected or worst, ridiculed by the macha. Time has changed and there are meenachis out there who take it to the next step by expressing their love to machas first. So, how does a macha reacts when meenachi proposes to him?
Meenachi proposes love and macha goes – I don’t love you and walks away to his friends so that he can spend the next few days gossiping with his friends about this meenachi. ‘Ave munji kannadile parthe thulle polle (she has never seen her face in the mirror). Macha looks like roadkill but he fancies himself as Madhavan, simply because a meenachi proposed her love to him. He takes one look at the meenachi and decides he deserves better than an average looking meenachi. He doesn’t care about her feelings, her education or qualifications or her capabilities.

He sums up her whole worth as ‘not beautiful’ and not worthy of pursued.
Macha falls in love with a girl, proposes to her and calls it true love. When meenachi proposes to macha, he ridicules her. He calls it – This is so like Tamil movie. Yenda, ningge thoruthi thoruthi love penna, athu deiviga kadhal. (If you guys fall in love, it’s true love). So, if a meenachi comes over and expresses her love – now it is like a Tamil movie? If she happens to be a Malayali/Telegu – then her love is like Malayali/Telegu movie? What’s with the shallow mentality? What makes you think that a meenachi’s love and feelings can be ridiculed? Machas who look down on girls who propose their love to guys are seriously in need of a tight slap – what’s with the double standard in freedom of expression?

If a meenachi proposes and you don’t like it, say so politely. You don’t have to go all asshole towards her. There are also machas who think only guys should propose to girls. If a meenachi does that first, then she must be uncultured. She doesn’t know ‘adakam udakam’ and it is so wrong for her to walk to a macha and tell him about her feelings. In fact, some machas go – I am not sure how she got the impression that I am interested in her? We were like what? WTF does this supposed to mean? That a meenachi should double check with the macha first whether he is interested or not before proposing? So, only a macha has a right to be interested in a girl? A meenachi must make sure the macha has some level of interest or else she should never approach him? It’s even amazing to discover that such machas are highly educated and think only guys must approach a girl. Vitta, permission, approval and authorization kethuthu, approm love pennanum nu solvan pole? (He will probably ask the meenachi to get permission, approval and authorization to love him).

A scene from Padaiyappa comes to mind, where Padaiyappa rejects Nilambari who was bold enough to state her love on him. Of course, she was portrayed as not lady like, uncouth and thimiru (stubborn). Padaiyappa falls for the girl who goes all shy, shy puppy with him. God, this is so lame and conventional. If machas think that is the ideal type of women, then these machas need a good shake up. Women are human beings as well. They can fall in love with anyone. It is natural to fall in love with a guy regardless whether he has an interest in the first place. How many machas check whether a girl has interest with them before proposing them? Machas should stop ridiculing meenachis who dare to state their love interest. It doesn’t put a dent on your so called ‘ambele gethu’ to accept a girl who proposes love to you even if she is an average girl. Remember, as much as you want a girl to look pass your karri satti face, pot-bellied or bloated body and bald head, meenachis too expect someone whom they have feelings for to look pass the physical imperfections. Be polite and learn to respect a meenachi if she actually tells you of her feelings for you. And dear meenachis, don’t feel shy and ashamed if your love proposal is rejected. You have a right to fall in love with any guy and you also have the right to express those feeling to that particular macha. Don’t get discouraged if the macha goes all asshole on you and ridicules you. You didn’t do anything wrong and there is nothing to be ashamed off. Look for the next potential candidate.
