Context from Hindu mythology:

In Hindu mythology, Menaka, or Menka (Sanskrit: मेनका) is considered one of the most beautiful of the heavenly Apsaras.[1]

She was sent by Indra, the king of the Devas, to break the severe penance undertaken by Vishwamitra. Vishwamitra was one of the most respected and revered sages in ancient India. Indra, frightened by his powers, sent a beautiful celestial nymph named Menaka from heaven to earth to lure him and break his meditation. Menaka successfully incited Vishwamitra's lust and passion when he saw her beauty. She succeeded in breaking the meditation of Vishwamitra and the two had sex for many years. However, she fell in genuine love with him. When Vishwamitra realized that he had been tricked by Indra, he was enraged. But he merely cursed Menaka to be separated from him forever, for he loved her as well and knew that she had lost all devious intentions towards him long ago.

Later, Menaka is also said to have been the mother of Shakuntala, who was left at the hermitage of a Sage Kanva when she was a baby. Later Shakuntala became the love of King Dushyanta and gave birth to his son Bharata, after whom India was named "Bharat"

Basically whenever the Gods grow afraid of sages gaining too much power, the send Apsara's to seduce them. The sages usually can control there urges but can't help squirting out semen and a Hero Is Born.

Oh man,did you know that the Pandavas made Draupadi grind her vagina against a dead horse's penis as part of the Ashvamedha ritual?

Game of Thrones has nothing on the Mahabharata. Daenerys only had to eat it's heart.

Draupadi rub her vagina on a dead horse's penis

What what what ???????

I knew that all of the pandavas banged her and left their footwear at the doorstep to indicate ongoing banging for privacy. "Footwear at the doorstep" was their "tie on the door knob"

But shit, draupadi got around man.

Kraken_Greyjoy•

It's supposed to signify the birthof a new king or something.

But sit, draupadi got around man.

Everyone in that relationship got around, the brothers had multiple wives. Arjuna spent a few years roaming around India banging random women during a self imposed exile after he walked in on Yudhistira and Draupadi in bed with each other.

The official reason was he exiled himself out of respect of his brother, but we all know he was just out looking for some revenge sex.

Not just sages, they cheated Asuras of immortality by similar tactics.

The nectar of immortality

Finally, Dhanvantari, the heavenly physician, emerged with a pot containing Amrita, the heavenly nectar of immortality. Fierce fighting ensued between Devas and Asuras for the nectar. To protect the nectar from Asuras, the divine Garuda took the pot, and flew away from the battle-scene.

devas (demigods) appealed to Vishnu, who then took the form of Mohini and as a beautiful and enchanting damsel, Mohini distracted the asuras, took the amrita, and distributed it among the Devas, who drank it.

Hindu Gods have always cheated their way with humans and demons. Often, the demon will do penance and rightfully unlock a set of powers, only to have been killed or neutralized by Gods through trickery...Fun stories, though. Hindu mythology is extremely entertaining and often perplexing, making full use of the vast flavours of emotions and personalities which are found in all humans.

blackcain•

Indeed, but you know, giving the agents of chaos any power is probably a bad thing. That said, only in Indian mythology is the demon as pious as anyone else.

6
youngstud•

Well originally Asuras were not really the bad guys.
Cognate with aesir from Norse mythology.
Over time due to some reason they took ok negative role.

blackcain•

Likely because they needed a group to demonize.. after all what is the point if there are no challenges. This is the first time though I've seen a common thread between Indian and Greek mythology, but Indra is no where near a big of an asshole as Zeus was.

Is it me or these stories that involve some form of religion

seem to have very similar with all other religions, they just

switch around a few words. Just sounds very familiar with

other religions even the main stream ones.

  1. There are only so many plots you can tell. 2. India shares a common proto culture with Europe. 3. I don't know of any religious stories it sounds like except for ancient Greek?

I mean if she is that open about what she is doing it seems less annoying.

"I feel bad, say something nice about me." is a lot better than "Ugh, I'm so fat............WHY AREN"T YOU TELLING ME HOW I'M NOT FAT!?!?"

I do this to my boyfriend when I'm sick. "Am I still pretty with snot all over my face and vomit in my hair?"

He'll normally say "of course" because it's the boyfriend answer and then I'll start making really horrendous faces at him.

My wife is vain about her weight and preggo. It's been a fun game letting her know it's natural to gain weight and complimenting her on being skinny all at the same time. By fun, I mean a constant struggle.

If anything she should be worried if she didn't gain weight, not insecure that she did.

My gf does this. She got really upset at me once because she made a comment about how she felt her sister was hotter than her. Having not met her sister I didn't say anything. My gf got pissed because I didn't say anything which meant I agreed apparently.

You've probably seen her pictures.. is she hotter?

I've only seen one picture and I don't really remember what she looks like.

ratajewie•

My girlfriend does this. She'll say things like "ugh I'm fat." And then get mad when I don't say "no you're not." If you gained weight, which you have, I can't lie with a straight face and say you haven't. I'll still say I love you no matter what, which is true, but I'm not going to lie just to make you feel better and keep making bad health decisions.

I wouldn't call this "fishing", I would call this "honestly and openly communicating one's needs in a relationship".

People call that 'fishing' when they're 13 years old and haven't actually been in a relationship.

12
maxiimus1•

There is fishing for compliments tho. When someone writes "I'm so fat :(" on facebook, even tho she looks like this, it's solely because they're waiting for a response like "Aah bby don't say that, u ain't fat, u butiful", which is called fishing for compliments.

Maybe she's smiling because she thinks she's about to get a compliment and he looks concerned because he realizes his wife is fat?
