Angst after Cocktail

Watching Cocktail left me feeling so down in the dumps, I almost took 2 days to recover. That too…only after I trashed the movie a lot. Pondered over it a little and realised…It was the character Veronica that made me sad. I sympathised so much with her it made me sad that she dint end up with anyone in the movie. People always say, “Boys like modern/hip girls as their girlfriends but when it comes to getting married they will choose homely girls.” I used to hear this a lot when I was younger. Always wondered why guys would do that, but never figured. When I grew up into a “bold” girl, got into a relationship and was asked to tone down, I still dint get the point as to why a guy would want a different kind of a girlfriend and a different personality as a wife. In the movie, Veronica makes an effort to shed her “ Iam kick-ass” image but Gautam still runs after the “homely” Meera with whom he fell deeply in love after just kissing her on a beach in SA. WTF??
