Learning Relationships The average Indian male is a creature terribly equipped to handle romantic relationships. Being one of those men, hear me out as I convey my sourness for our social ineptitude. Communication is accepted as a holy grail for building and sustaining a mutually nurturing partnership. The biped fails awfully in this regard From the moment an XY chromosome harboring Sapien is born in India, the culture puts in all its might to impede his EQ from developing beyond that of a common troglodyte. His being a patriarchal society, he definitely gets to express himself. However, his expressions are often devoid of any semblance of nuance. He is taught to see the world as a zero - sum game. Someone has to be wrong for him to be right. With t his premise rooted firmly, it falls upon him to prove that the other person is wrong. After all, that's the only way for him to come out as triumphant. Of course, he has to win (always) , for not doing so would make him a perfectly normal human. Not being s elf - righteous would make him the loser. Owing to such a worldview, a love - stricken male finds himself in a particularly tricky situation. As common sense would dictate, conflicts invariably arise when two people interact longer than a mayfly's lifespan. Su ch disagreements are usually not attributable to a single party. The fault is almost always shared if it exists at all. However, the socially conditioned sense of self - righteousness does not care for ambivalence. It seeks victory. This strips away every po ssibility of healthy confrontation. What ensues is antagonism and not a conversation. The atmosphere is of vengeance, and nothing good comes out of it.
