Pre maid marriages/Same culture dating?

Discussion in 'Off-topic Discussion' started by Deleted Account, Jul 6, 2020.

  1. I know that here in America it takes allot for woman and men to find marriages. Especially after years with break ups and flings. One thing I'll just never understand is that it seems like in other cultures its easier to find a Woman. As well with some that already have pre made family marriages. I know that other cultures are more strict and of course they expect you to be the head of the family eventually. But for me I don't understand how people are just gifted some times and it naturally comes especially with some cultures?

    I have had a hmong friend in the past. I actually revealed to her that I liked her at one point back in high school because we would always be talking. She was basically like a sister to me back then. After I revealed that I liked her, flat out told me she didn't like me enough because I was Caucasian. To her parents she said it would be degrading to like a white guy? I admit it sunk in but I was still a fantastic friend to her.

    Another point is I just don't get pre maid marriages. I just remember watching a documentary in high school a long time ago. I remember distinctly the girl saying "I don't know if I like him but I have to be with him and be his wife. There for I will."


    If I had a woman or something like that past high school. Maybe things would of gone so much easier. But what are your opinions?

    I work with Indians, my boss has an arranged marriage. He seemed perfectly happy. In fact in India, the divorce rate hovers around 1-2%, because to them marriage is a business transaction that leads to love, and not love that leads to a business transaction. This is a far cry from the 50/50% divorce rate in the USA. I'm autistic, and initiating romance is virtually impossible for me. If my parents would have arranged finding me a wife, I would have been ecstatic, and I would have happily fulfilled the marriage contract. I actually think that emotional love based marriages could be weaker in the long run.

  3. A lot of people these days marry for the wrong reasons. Also most people have forgotten the art of conflict resolution. Usually in a marriage, everyone fights, and over time these create cracks... And especially with today's culture, both partners refuse to listen to the other side, put themselves in different shoes and look for an escape instead of looking inward and trying to become better. (After all, who doesn't have flaws, and unless it's for outright cheating or dishonesty, most flaws can be sorted.)

    Or they’re not taught it at all. Either way, I can’t emphasize how critical it is in a lasting relationship.

  5. Yes. Marriage is pretty much a contract especially when you can have a joint account like my parents do. I realize they are perfectly happy of course. I mean they've got their life planned out you know. I work with a few Indians/French/Latina. I believe one Philippine gal already had a pre planned guy and shes married. She is honestly the cutest woman I've ever seen and I see why they gave her a good man so quick. I'm just saying if it was more like that here where things were pre planned it wouldn't be so bad. Kids wouldn't have fathers that they don't know who they are.
     

  6. Is that your real streak and picture man by the way? Your jacked!
    Yes that is true. Any Marriages have flaws regardless of who your with. A side from the happy posts on Social Media and textes. I always believe there is more going on then meats the eye.

    Yeah, it's a strange thing to hear when you are from a western American/European culture, that's for sure. My friend is an Indian girl and she has a promise/threat from her family if she hasn't found someone by the age of 23 they will provide her with a husband by traditional arrangement. She was talking about dating a guy and having to 'date his parents', and him her parents, as you need to seduce their family to persuade them you are a good match, as opposed to 'just' appealing to the girl. Sounds like a lot of hard work! Especially, as my parents in law dislike me so much they wouldn't even come to our wedding - ha!

    So it is not always easier, but if you are a 'good match', and you appeal to older people you might find it easier.

    I think marriage was so much easier when there were clear defined roles for husbands and wives, like there still are in traditional societies. It is much easier to fulfil your 'role' when you know exactly what that role is and what is expected of you. But, of course, there are many disadvantages to that, and it's probably better to work out what best suits you as a couple. For example, my wife earns a lot more than I do, so I will be looking after our baby and her returning to work. In a more traditional society, she would have to give up her work and we would be a lot worse off as a family, which is a bit silly. Although if it was that traditional I suppose she wouldn't have been earning that much anyway.

  10. You know. I've actually heard of this before, especially in the Asian culture like Japanese or Thai. I remember I read a post on here a while ago about a relationship. The guy was from Europe and this woman was Asian I believe? He was fretting about her parents not liking him and that it was soon to be a failed relationship.

    I don't believe in getting the parents trust. It will come over time and it takes time to receive.
