Why Do Women Turn Away? Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Most 0f women would turn away
From a man’s advance for reasons:
Concern for family members,
Fear of being thrown out by members,
Desolation built up from grief,
Absence of opportunities,
Proposition being an insult,
Indecision of man’s motive,
His intention being too blatant,
Doubts of his holding secrets,
Suspicions that he’s not serious,
Diffidence that he’s too grand,
He taken as a brother,
He being too large or too small,
And too urbane or too dull,
Revulsion that he has no sense of time,
Lack of respect in his status,
Contempt about his sensitiveness,
Sympathy that he may land in trouble, disgust at her bodily wanting,
Scorn the he has gone gray,
Doubt that he is his husband’s spy
And the last as she values virtue.
