I’m a 25M. Over the past 3 years I’ve invested around ₹4.6L in stocks and mutual funds. Honestly, I’ve never really seen profits from my stock investments they’ve mostly stayed around -15%, which has kind of killed my interest in direct stock investing. On the other hand, my mutual funds have given around 12% returns.

So, I put 15L into an FD and I still have another ₹15L that I’m trying to figure out how to invest. Looking for some suggestions here. I’m open to stocks, I’m considering putting around ₹5L into a good mutual fund in the next few days, so pls suggest a good one.

P.S. My emergency fund is already sorted. I recently got laid off but I’m living with my family rn so my monthly expenses are negligible

Am I a bad person for having a high body count while wanting a serious relationship?

I’m a 25M, and I’ve always liked the idea of love marriage. I genuinely want a healthy long-term relationship where two people grow together.

The problem is that most of my past experiences were casual. My body count is close to 15, and around 90% of those happened after meeting through dating apps, usually after drinking. I’ve never really approached anyone offline everything started online. After I got a job, I had a lot more free time, got good at texting, and casual dating just kind of became normal.

At the same time, I want to make it clear that I’m not manipulative or desperate in any way. I’ve always treated the people I’ve been with very respectfully, never pressured anyone, and never led anyone on intentionally.

Now I feel conflicted because I still want something meaningful and long term in AM setup, but I also feel like I have to lie about my past because many women might judge me for it.

Does having that kind of past make me a bad person? Can someone who’s had a lot of casual experiences still build a healthy, genuine relationship?

I’d appreciate honest advice
