In response to my girlfriend Iroms… After much thought I had to agree that, yes, there are some really nice Lankan boys out there. I myself have had the pleasure of knowing quite a few of them.

Men have been in and out if my life. But I have found good friends in a few males.

I must take my work mate YB as an example. I have to hand it to him that he has survived very well in a female dominated environment. Most often, we don’t even realize he is around when we discuss the everyday issues of women.

He has the ability to listen to us and respect us. Which is rather rare. He does have his own way, most of the time but he is like a little brother to me and to all of us at work.

Last October was a friend’s birthday and a close friend of hers, male of course, let her down big time. When he heard what this guy did, he said that it is men like this guy that makes him wish he were not male. This was not the exact language he used… but that was the bottom line! Now he is one male who I am glad to have met.

Then there comes a very very close friend. We were really close. Would talk for hours everyday, meet when possible, watch movies, yes, we were very close. He even helped me out through some very rough times. We drifted apart due to many reasons but I guess the bond was always there. And then, when we finally met, after a LONG lapse, things were not too bad after all. He seems the same still, which I am really glad about. We were at the Royal Thomian a few weeks back and it was as though nothing had changed. He acted around me the same as he did before we had that huge fight.

He too is one guy I am so happy that I came across. He is so descent, respectful and in his own ways, caring too. I know I can trust him with my life. He has always been able to make me think and put me in my place when I have needed an eye opener.

I am so glad that he is in my life even in a small way. I know I can count on him at any time. We may not talk, meet up and watch movies as often as we used to but still, the friendship remains. And that is what matters in the end.

Then there are a few others who I meet up occasionally and talk to when possible. They are not half bad either. Actually, they are not bad at all!!!

Hmmm… come to think of it, apart from the random frustrated asshole on the road or at a club or a pub, the men I know are actually not too bad!!!

Even though the Martians from abroad may sometimes come across as more appealing, the Martians here in Lanka are up there with the them!!! They are my friends and they always will be. I don’t think I will ever want anything more out of them.

Cheers guys!!!
