Shytype

I met a Shytype today.

For those of you who do not know a shytype - Shytype is a person who can be classfied as a male with all his physical attributes without a doubt(yeah..I mean it..definitely male by appearance),but still has some exceptional qualities that creates the uncertainity in one's mind to really call him a male.So what is this exceptional quality. In very simple terms, these people are totally apprehensive in talking to a guy, but still love talking to the opposite sex - girls, incredibly well, whatever be the situation. We were able to identify lots of people with these qualities during our college days, thats when we came out with this term to name this breed.

It is not that difficult to identify this breed - shytype.Some techniques that we used in our college to identify people belonging to this elite group.

  • If you can talk to one shytype for five minutes then you can find out that he usually uses a suffix 'pa' after completing every word in the sentence coupling it with a tune. If you ask a shytype why is he late.His answer will will be 'illa paaa..athu vanthu paaa..naan trainla varumbothu illa paaa...stationla illa paa..oru ponnu illa paa..books ellam keezha pottuduchu paa..athanala paa..naan erangi poi paa..antha books ellam eduthu koduthutu paa..adutha trainla varen paa'.The reason is pretty simple, he might have been used to this kind of talking to all the girls he meet and continues to do the same when a guy talks to him. If you are a guy the hard task here is to make him talk to you atleast for a minute. You might have to talk him in by saying things like that you overheard a girl talking something about him.That might work sometimes.
  • If you are able to hack a girl's email id/ password, to whom a shytype is usually talking(I dont want to call that flirting.its too big a word for these people.) you can easily find her inbox flooded with a lots of email from shy type. The content is usually going to be something stupid like 'Hey pa..why didn't you say bye before leaving home pa. I was watching you from the crowded third compartment sitting inside the train..but you never looked at me after getting down the train?'. Now what will be interesting is if the girl doesn't respond to this, the shytype will eventually keep sending her an email every 15 minutes with some more stupid stuffs like 'en melai kovama pa','I'm sorry pa', 'please pa..reply pannu pa'. He will be online the whole night waiting for her reply.Beleive me.This is true and has happened during those dial-up internet connection days.He is such a dullard that he wouldn't realise that he has asked a very dumb question.Even at times if the question is valid he wouldn't realise that she is not interested in him or she is sleeping or she hasn't checked his email.
  • If the shytype travels by train then he will definitely stand outside the ladies compartment talking to his girl until the train starts.He will then run to general compartment and try to board the train while it is moving without understanding the basic laws of physics or inertia and usually hurts himself before getting in.
  • If you are not capable of identifying a shy type using the above methods then you can try this.This should be pretty easy. During a lunch session you can find this bloke sitting near a girl(Usually the girl will be sitting in the chair and this fellow will be sitting on dining table) and talking to her, while she is trying to eat her lunch.You can try slogans like 'Do not do these things here, Go to a park or a Beach(Ithellam poi beachlayo parklayo vechukoda)', he will not be bothered.He will still talk without heeding to you.Even doing things like hitting a stone on him or banging the table wont help.In case if the girl is not interested you feel sorry for her fate, but if the girl is interested then you will pity their parents and the junior shytype to be born.
So these are the exceptional qualities - though he might look physically alright but still he will definitely lack the pride,dignity and self esteem that a guy usually commands.If you are a guy you can have a hearty laugh, if you are successful in making a shytype talk to you.If you are a girl then beware of these blokes.In my opinion it could be more of a trouble.

Now to the shytype I met today , he looks to be a college student, talking to some girl on his cell phone and I could clearly hear 'hey hey please paa..phona cut pannatha paa..Nee cut panninalum naan marupadiyum marupadiyum phone pannuveney..'.aiyoo.aiyoo... Ivangellam eppo thaan thirunthuvangalo.Until then if you get a chance to meet one, you are guaranteed a hearty laugh.
