Whine, women & war!
Actor George Clooney has a newcomer at home. Stacy Keibler, the WWE wrestler — Clooney’s latest girlfriend has just moved into the actor’s bachelor pad. Clooney is believed to have admitted to his friends that it is Stacy’s carefree and non-clingy attitude that persuaded the couple to take this decision.
Read between the lines and the message is clear. Men like it when women give space and are independent. Not just in the actor’s case, those who have been in such relationships admit, a clingy relationship is claustrophobic.
“I need space in a relationship. I definitely will not like if my partner spies on me or keeps a check on my activities. If I am hanging out with a close friend, I wouldn’t want her to call me a 100 times to check on me,” says choreographer Salman Yusuff Khan. The dancer says he has seen many of his friends pulling on with such relationships and suffering silently. Those who been through it, agree it’s not love after all. “It’s a horror. I was in one such relationship and it was so annoying. She used to call me often just to know where I am and what I am doing. Once when I was at a nightclub with my friends, she called and started off with her interrogation. It felt like I was dancing to two tunes. On one side, the DJ tunes and on the other, it was her tunes. I had no idea how to react,” recollects RJ Danish Seth.
But there are those men who believe it’s not always the fairer sex that needs to take the blame. At times it can be a role reversal with the man hooking onto the woman. “It can happen both ways. It’s the difference between needing something and wanting something. Being needy is not so attractive. In a relationship definition of space is individualistic. I remember Sanjeev Kumar’s character in Pati Patni aur Woh where he has an extra-marital affair and clings on to two relationships. That’s also being clingy,” says actor Ejaz Khan.
Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction, Kalki Koelchin in Zindagi Na Milegi Do Bara and Suchitra Pillai in Dil Chahta Hai — these characters, men say are the most memorable examples of parasitical women. “I have been fortunate that I have never been in such relationships. Particularly the profession I am in, I have to meet different people at different times. I need someone who understands me and my work culture and someone who does not keep a tab on my whereabouts,” says model Tony Luke.
