Re: Not Meant to Be?
They don’t exist! There is no balance. Girls seem to spend longer at uni and in the process reach the 24/25 age group whilst a lot of parents marry their sons of at a younger age to girls who don’t spend the time at uni etc a relative of mine actually said that had I not spent so long at uni perhaps id be married by now. This was following an instance where a family saw my pics, approved, but then never called back after finding out that I am working and more qualified than their son was why is it so intimidating if a girl is independent? I just want a guy who is AT LEAST working. There are plenty of guys on student visas but I flat out refuse unless he’s working.
Oh and btw I live in Australia. Yes I’m Pakistani. I am very very very hesitant to marry a guy from back home because a few girls I know have and, even though their husbands are well educated back home they cannot find jobs here. My parents have asked relatives and friends to look in Pakistan but only if he’s a doctor because the assumption then is that he will find a job here quite easily.
yeah, I agree. We have the same problem here, too. I’ve been told by numerous aunties that I’m going to be “too old” when I’m done with school and everyone that’s been “serious” has attempted to either get me to stop going to grad school or settle for something else. :S
