Gals, Sponsorship, Dumb Guys etc

I am sure you have come across this not so great looking gal to whom at least 4 different guys have proposed so far. That wonderful babe around the corner who has an exquisite collection of teddy bears, perfumes, pens and watches from different guys.

It amazing how just being a gal and being socially active can be wonderfully beneficial(sorry i had to chose this word for the lack of knowledge of better english -corrections appreciated)

I have never been able to fathom why, why does a pretty babe get so many gifts from so many guys all of whom know that they dont stand a chance at getting married to her. I mean these guys are just "good friends of her" who think its ok to spend Rs.7000 on a swatch watch for " just a friend" for no reason what so ever.

I have never come across scenarios where guys gifted other guys such expensive gifts unless of course they were thick friends and it was someone birthday or anniversary or some such occasion.

Now that makes me wonder if what Harry says in "When Harry met Sally" is true "men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way. ". May be what varies between various relationships between men and women is the degree of impact of this 'sex part' . I can understand when guys and gals are rakhi bros and sis or related in some way , like friends wife, distant cousin etc, now the relationship has a name and the 'sex part' is diffused a bit (degree of diffusion directly proportional to the degree of respect of the relationship)

Again from when Harry met sally -

"Yes, that's right, they can't be friends. Unless both of them are involved with other people, then they can... This is an amendment to the earlier rule. If the two people are in relationships, the pressure of possible involvement is lifted... That doesn't work either, because what happens then is, the person you're involved with can't understand why you need to be friends with the person you're just friends with. Like it means something is missing from the relationship and why do you have to go outside to get it? And when you say "No, no, no it's not true, nothing is missing from the relationship," the person you're involved with then accuses you of being secretly attracted to the person you're just friends with, which you probably are. I mean, come on, who the hell are we kidding, let's face it. Which brings us back to the earlier rule before the amendment, which is men and women can't be friends. "


Now back to my doubt - do gals get all these gifts and proposals cos

i) guys are desperate
ii) the sex part is out there somewhere
iii) she is a gal and any gal always attracts some men thats the rule of nature.

And why why why am i griping about all this , god how i wish i achieved the thoughtless state.
