Re: Rishta Aunties
Rice. Not everyone is punjabi, sorry.
Punjabis are fond of rice as well. It's eaten with salans like daal and chanay and shaljam... in the form khichri, biryani, pulao, zarda, etc. For someone who thinks roti shouldn't be such a big deal, you're obsessing over it. You may find a guy who is fine with store-bought rotian and heck he may even help you with cooking from time to time. But I doubt he'll want rice or salad on a frequent basis, but rather a variety.
Re: Rishta Aunties
Biryani v/s Roti..... Biryani will win 9 out of 10 times.
Rishta aunties are just agents, looking for what the clients want. Don't demean them please.

Are you kidding RV? Let's stop assuming what a guy would want. Sounds like the statement above is more obsession than anything else. Some families are rice based and rice is cooked daily in their homes. Like I said, the entire Pakistan is not Punjabi contrary to Punjabi opinion.
Re: Rishta Aunties
Actually RVs right punjabis do eat a lot of rice as well, ever heard of the Butt clan? Kashmiri punjabis, don't sit down till the pot of plain white boiled rice is done. They can practically hae it with anything, even kerailay or whatever other odd rice combination u can think of. The point is not what do they prefer, what I was trying to point out is that when they do eat roti it has to be the home cooked variety and not the bazaar ki roti. All that being said the variety of roti available readymade is also pretty good and appetizing as well. What I'm talking about is a mindset. Anyway I might be wrong, it's just something I observed after my husband pointed it out once.
Re: Rishta Aunties
Note to self, do not bring up roti on GS.
Re: Rishta Aunties
I use ready made fortis even though I know how to make them. My husband has no objection in fact he says cooking rotis wastes time so it's better to eat ready made ones. We eat rotis every day and are surviving and yes my husband was brought up in Pakistan. Not everyone is obsessed with handmade rotis.
Re: Rishta Aunties
Rishta Aunties are like headhunter/recruiters. They can only look and try to match similar qualifications/characteristics. Ofcourse everyone is going to want the best for their son, even if he is a loser. No point in getting angry over it. Don't hate the player hate the game. A 28+ liberal feminist who doesnt know how to make roties is not going to be on any guy's wish list. Usually girls like who do find someone, is because they were able to make the guy fall inlove with them which is another goal on its own. I completely agree with alot of your ideas but I got to tell you, no matter how naturally beatiful or honest you are, a girl who is fake and gives what the other people are looking for with her looks/personality/behavior is going to have better rishta prospects.
Its like going on a job interview. who is management going to prefer, the young straight out of school kid with no personal responsiblitites and can work till midnight and doesnt know anybetter, or the single mother who will need random days off. The only way the single mother is going to win is if she has soemthing extra to offer.
you need to watch MULAN :)
i disagree with no guy would want a 28+ girl in an arranged marriage who cant make rotis.
this is an overstatement.
Re: Rishta Aunties
Agreed w/the above. Not every guy is looking for a 22 yr old roti making machine. Surprised that educated women think like that. I guess there is such a thing as parha likha Jaahil

I mentioned in addition to being a liberal feminist....
Not all but the majority of Pakistani guys don't really want that. Im not saying its right, Im just saying this is what it out there
Rishta Aunties
It's not about being a parha likha jail PCG- that is also an overstatement. It comes down to lifestyle, plain and simple. Some will want roti, some won't. At the end of the day, we are all Pakistani and eat the same food don't we? Any man of any race will eventually require more than a salad. Why so much generalization. Your whole outlook seems so pessimistic and that would be the first thing a guy would potentially notice. I would hate to be around such a Debbie downer, you seem so depressing. You want a balanced life and that isn't very hard to find considering the environment your in, but your not going to get 100% no matter where you look. It's about someone who compliments you. How do you expect a rishta Aunty to know what you want when your own parents will have their own standards which will probably be very different from your own. Going off all of your various posts you totally exude some of that same parha likha jahil mentality. Not trying to be rude honestly, just sayin you sound no different. Rishta Auntys are not the problem in finding a man for yourself, you are.

Your fixation with age, education (degree level) and ability to do housework is a joke.

Im not a parha likha jaahil. Im realistic, if your going through a rishta auntie, your going to get a majority of mostly traditional pakistanis. If the guy was open minded, he would have most likely found someone at school/work, and wouldn't be going through a matchmaker. You also need to consider the fact that the MILs will have a bigger say when going through a rishta lady. You have to accept the fact that most traditional pakistani people will want a DIL that can make Roti, is open to cooking, and will want someone who works as well.
THis is the majority that your going to see if your going through a matchmaker. I agree in a perfect world we should all be honest and admit that guys should share 50% of the household chores and women are equal to men. But If you want to be the Martin Luther King of the Pakistani single women's rights movement, expect to get some backlash and expect have difficultly finding a rishta. Im not saying settle for anyone, thats wrong as well. as you know im not having the easiest time in my marriage. But keep inmind the more demands you have the harder its going to be to find what your looking for. With matchmaking the personal human aspect of finding a soulmate is gone, you dont get to know the other person's personality, and you end up looking at their qualifications like its a job interview.If your resume doesn't have what they require, you wont even get the interview.
Re: Rishta Aunties
What's with the hate on Punjabis and rotis? Punjabiyon say shadi nahin karni na karo. Rotiyan nahin pakani/khani na pakao. Go find yourself a non-rotiyan eating, non-salan eating, $100K per year earning, with no parents, no siblings, tall dark handsome man as a husband, who will let you sit alone and do your paper work in your part of the house, and won't ever bother with sex ever.

quick leap there from no roti to no sex. 
and its unfair to expect a proud feminist like PCG to make roti when the belan is just so phallic.
