Re: rishtas in the west
no..sadly some of them have their own issues in finding the right person.
a good pal of mine a europe raised cardiologist finally married last year, the guy is older than me, and I have been married for 10 years, he had been looking for 8 years or so. married an arab girl in the end.
another pal of mine, he has no clue what he wants and moves from ultra traditional types to very liberal types, this is an ivy educated architect, good looking guy, greta family, but he is too wishy washy.
then I know guys who have asked me to help and they say oh thegirl should only be muslim and preferably desi, I introduce them to someone and its like oh i prefer punjabi and she is baluchi, or she is not tall nuff. I am like listen jack, u tell me what u r looking for and yeah u cant write all down but atleast tell me hieght, sect, ethnicity, education level etc etc ..
I hate the match making stuff especially when ppl just flip flop and waste others time
anyways point being that when ppl dont have realistic expectations and opportunities to meet people, even if they are good looking and successful types they will just not get anywhere.
