I haven’t closely interacted with desi girls for more than 4 years so I don’t know how things are now, but back in high school, the girls were jealous of:
long straight hair
attacking girls who had boyfriends but secretly envying them
jealousy over job. Dairy Queen vs working at the bank
competition over who had worse grades. I kid you not, it was cool to suck at school
jealous of those who had good looking husbands
husbands with fancy high paying jobs
girls who had cars
girls who had freedom and could do anything they want. Again, attacking them and calling them sluts but still wanting to be like them
girls who made it to university
those who had the most Canadianized accents
the usual jewellery, clothes, cars, possessions, the usual shebang
Aunties were jealous of cooking skills, how attractive other woman’s kids were, how smart they were, how many rishtas other women and their kids had, who had been living longer in the West, who’s husband had a higher paying job, who’s house was bigger, who had more cars, envying women who had jobs while at the same time calling them selfish for not staying home with their kids.
Really!!! I remember all this very clearly. Jealousy and inferiority complexes are common in women while in men I never saw any evidence of it.
Let me guess you are happy and content and there is no reason in your life to be jealous or insecure…and you have found profundity.. this thread is really about you..no?
You can see those things in ALL women of ALL ethnicities, ages, social classes, not just limited to desi girls. The grls u've communicated with on GS, can you say you've seen the same of them?
N plus all those things uv'e mentioned..to be honest..yeah i have been a lil envious, but wud i ever wish taht their life falls apart and lose those things or try to take them for myself (such as boyfriend or job) or trashtalk them?? No..i just wish the good wud happen to me, and try to work harder at it (except for growing hair longer, that i cannot change :( )....is that jealousy/insecurity?
Maybe the fact that I can’t think of any females that I felt were a threat or evil jealous bitches makes me wonder if I am that jealous hateful girl !!
so MQ and Sarah, how do u both not fit into the category of these desi women? do u reckon ur rid of such traits...? and lets say, even if u r, do u think others dont see u in the same light?
by perfect bodies i mean like errrmm beyounce perfect not like too thin or too chubby girls..I remember girls in our high school stuffing tissues in their bras to look more busty
