Re: speaking of desi women...
Its not usually about seeking attention. Alot of girls try to hide their relationships from others and put it under the guise of a "brother-sister" rel'p because they fear for what others might say/think about them. The whole izzat thing comes into play here from what i've seen most of the time. In our culture like it or not people just dont accept that, even in high schools guys go around bothering girls but once a girl gets a bf they label her as all sorts of nasty things even if shes just sticking to one guy.
