Re: rishtas in the west
this is based on convos i had w/ friends....
the reason that most parents usually go for dudes in pak isn't b/c theres a shortage in their own country, but rather probably teh same reason guys from here have gone back home to find a wife....i guess girls parents' are seeing that guys here are "sleazy" (b/c they had gfs, partied etc) and the ones from back home are more shareef.... if there's a choice between guy A, from pakistan, would have a hard time supporting his family (in the early years) but shareef, and guy B, who may be rich/financially secure but wud supposedly cheat on his wife, drink, etc...then the clear choice is guy A.... the tables are turned, in that even if that girl from pak is a total b*tch, she's probably a better choice for their son b/c she was raised n pak and thus had less chances of being "ruined" unlike if a girl who was here might be a great wife but guys'/families are unwilling to give her chance b/c they c the environment she was raised in....Its not a fair generalization at all, but that's the train of thought here....
