Seriously…What is it???
I have always wondered how I’d react if I met a really good looking, intelligent and friendly guy… Well, I was put to the test today. And I think I passed with flying colours!! 
Before I start slandering Lankan men in general… I want to say that, even among the many perverts and assholes… there are a few worthwhile Lankan boys as well.
Anyway, back to my story… My friend insisted that I have an early lunch and join her and a few friends, to go out for lunch. I agreed, saying I’d sit with them and have a glass of juice. Two of our other work mates also joined in, along with another girlfriend. Basically, there were five gals.
We were not told anything more. So at half past 12, she gathered her troops and we headed to the entrance of our office… and who do we meet… not one, but TWO pretty darn good looking guys. Yes, we were amazed! To say the least… but what topped it all off, was that they were so friendly.
One incident, which stuck with me, was when we had to get a tuk tuk. Since there were six of us, we had to get two tuk tuk’s. The girls were to go in one, like we always do and one girl and the two boys were to go in another, but one of them insisted that there should be one guy in each tuk tuk… Was that sweet or what?? How often do our Lankan boys even bother to think that way? With guys like them, chivalry is never really dead…!!!
Here we were, meeting for the first time and it was as though, we had been friends for ages. We got along like a house on fire.
They were so open to the suggestions we made and we spoke on various topics. It was so interesting, and there was not a moment in which any of us felt uncomfortable or left out. It was a simple meeting but we had so much fun.
What makes these guys who come down from abroad so much more different to the Martians we have here in Lanka?
Well… they do dress well, they are more courteous, they respect us more, they even smell so good! Which makes the image linger… much much much longer…
After we got back to work, we were all discussing these two guys and why on earth they stand out…
Is it because they are more refined? And because they respect women more? Is it that they don’t read too much into situations? What was it that made us feel so comfortable with these complete strangers??
Seriously…What is it???
