I feel ISOs are a waste of time.

If you can't find a real connection in real life you certainly can't find it online.

I feel people even on the ISO are wasting time. And it makes sense. Why would anybody want to be with someone they meet online. Social media has severely impacted the real like connection which used to build naturally and sustain longer.

Need your true opinion.

I shared my observations about a certain topic and someone commented this on that.

I need to know if this is true for all men irrespective of their race or ethnicity.

Thank you.

(Context: Asian / Indian men and their families are obsessed with fair skin and want a fair and extraordinarily beautiful brides for their sons and brothers even when the guy himself wouldn't be brilliant looking.

This is also true for other neighbouring countries around it.)

Is this stereo type true?

I believe every individual is pretty, this is based on societal norms.

So, I have noticed this around:

  1. Extremely beautiful girls settle with average looking guys.

  2. Not so pretty girls don't get choosen (at least that's what you observe in south asian communities).

  3. Then what happens with the good looking guys? Maybe even they go for good looking girls.

So, it's the average looking girls that are left behind. Is that true?

Strange thing happened in an arranged marriage setup /spouse search.

This is through an arranged marriage setup.

Parents spoke first, then our contacts were shared with each other.

The guy asked me to watch this Christopher Nolan movie called Interstellar. And later asked me a question as to how the movie was. And said whatever I felt about the movie.

And a week later he told me he was not ready for marriage and needed time. I said good luck, wish you the best. And the conversation ended there and then.

I will never understand what he wanted me to answer, what was he expecting me to answer. There must be a psychological reason, he was definitely assessing me.

But I will never know what the assessment was. Why did he say no, on what grounds because up until it was going fine. I personally don't believe in sci-fi movies cause it's unrealistic and he knew about this.

What would you infer from that movie? Or how to assess when getting to know someone.

Ladies, what do you do when life feels stagnant and not moving forward?

Assalam alaikum, hope you all are doing great.

This is one of those days where finding someone feels impossible, where the thought living a single life makes you feel unsettling. Where constantly searching feels unproductive because you've tried all the means you know of and still no results.

You feel dejected.

I don't know if this will end soon.

Have you felt this way?

My favourite food, Khichda (Haleem) / (Meat and grain stew)! 🥘 Long prep time, nearly 3-4 hours, but the most delicious delicacy.

I make this almost once every two weeks!

Is this the reason high achieving woman are struggling to get married? And no men wants them?

This is an example of Asian society.

If a woman is financially stable and earning good, let's say 70K GBP (the figure is just an example).

She would try to find a man who earns equal or slightly above her, let's say 100K GBP (the figure is just an example).

Now, a man earning 100K GBP might not want her or find her desirable, he might be looking for someone who earns average and can look after family and be more family oriented.

Is that true?

That being said, it's not necessary that a high earning woman will not be family oriented, maybe she would want things a certain way and have less tolerance to suppression.

What's your thought on this?

Edited (12 hours later): After going through all the comments in the post, based on some of the answers it's important to understand - does it come down to whom the guy is able to suppress or control? He would have less chances of suppressing a career woman compared to a non-career woman. Any new comment please answer for this part. (As both the woman are family oriented and caring.)

Edit 2 (20 hours later): If the argument is that financially independent woman will not look after her husband, it is wrong. And if that's the reason for a men to not choose a working woman. What happens when a woman is not working have kids and the husband decides to go for 2nd wife. Men seem to be interested in that alot (from what you read on this app). So in that situation, that woman would have no financial source she can rely on.
