Time to donne your thinking caps :Of men’s woes in arrange marriage

A colleague of mine met me some days back. He was (desperately) trying to find a match for himself. It could be noticed from his talks . and here was I who thought that only we girls had that constraint . what with the growing age there come helplessness and though desperation comes with the fact of just being only in sync with the society, the other girl clan, rather than for your own happiness. Leave my philosophy aside.

so this colleague was narrating some funny (?) incidents relating to the very notorious but not that villainous “arrange” marriage
Both the incidents actually made me stunned, having gone through the similar process myself, and hearing hurting facts from my friends, we gals thought that it’s a torture but only for gals, but never knew that it’s the same for the guys. But this narration woke me from my slumber and made me wonder…if sometimes gals can be as crude as guys…hey, at least give a sensible reason for rejection.

Incident 1: scene: the meeting between the guy and the girl. The guy has it all. Presentable looks, amazing career. The girl…good indeed herself.
Reason for rejection: the guy is not fair enough (the girl was two shades darker than him)

Incident 2: scene: the meeting between the guy and the girl. The girl MA in economics, the guy BE (throughout topper) why I thought of mentioning the topper thing is that the reason of rejection: the guy is not a post graduate.

This is not aakhon dekhi but just suna suni, and that’s why couldn’t say much. But that surely had me thinking, that do sometimes gals think this way or just so crude???
Coz I can honestly understand how important it is to “click” with the other person or your supposedly better half…but then why keep a sham of the things that actually dont and ideally shouldn’t matter??? Never got the answer for this as yet
