Would you consider that a negative point while evaluating a rishta, since sisters are often considered to be interfering?
Re: The Only Brother of Many Sisters
^ he is likely to be more sissy....so i think he would be a good husband..
Re: The Only Brother of Many Sisters
^sissy means good husband?

From what ladies here seem to prefer....definitly..
Re: The Only Brother of Many Sisters
My brother has 4 sisters and he is defo NOT a sissy. He is rather vain and has just as many shoes as I do (60 + pairs).
I always joke that I would hate his wife no matter who she is so he just best stay away from me when he's married. He agrees.
As he does have so many sisters, we are quite controlling of him, but he knows how to defend himself and he knows how to play us too, he's so chalak.

How old is your bro Milly ?
Re: The Only Brother of Many Sisters
^So u concur.
Re: The Only Brother of Many Sisters
I dont think it should matter much. What I have known from experience anyway, only brother of many sisters tends to be quite much insecure and pampered. And a good husband is always the one who has got will power and strength of personality. So maybe he will be a turn off for his wife for that reason. Anyways if a guy is shareef and khandani, I dont see much reasons he should be rejected on the big family issue only. family and siblings fade off once they have their own life to manage, and then its only the couple left to each other.
Re: The Only Brother of Many Sisters
what about the only sister of many brothers?
Re: The Only Brother of Many Sisters

Not really Nomi. We women really do not want a dog wagging its tail and running behind us. Just imagine! what is the use of a sissy person anyway? before marriage he used to do everything with the permission of his mother and after marriage his wife will replace his mother. Where do such husbands stand then?
Re: The Only Brother of Many Sisters
oh she should be sufficient even for the seven generations of the guy then :k: lol.

Same, minus him owning 60 pairs of shoes! He definitely plays us. Depending on what he wants, each of us might be his favourite on a different day (although I'm the favourite most days :p
And as for the wife thing, he already knows he and his wife would live on their own (no joint family system) because my mother is very independent, and expects that her DIL would want to enjoy her independence and ability to set up her own household.

You do...u just don't admit it..........if you didn't you all wouldn't be so worked up about the husband wagging his tail and running behind his mom........... (you doesn't mean you personally mirage..)
BTW...i like the analogy of comparing husbands with puppies and dogs..........:D
Re: The Only Brother of Many Sisters
Only brothers of many sisters is a no-no. I have this proposal where all the sisters (the youngest being 14 only) want to come and see me in the first meeting (they are NOT bringing their brother) and this shows the level of interference they all have in their ONLY brother’s life. I hate being an exhibition display item for them 
. I was ok with the proposal initially but when I saw their behaviour, it just freaked me out. The mom also keeps on insisting the love and bonding the sisters share with their ONLY brother and its like she wants to make these things clear since the very beginning. She is being good for her family and daughters but then we girls also have a right to consider things carefully.
Well, this is not the sole reason for my mom being apprehensive about it. The guys education and income level is also a factor. But if he would not have so many unmarried sisters, my mom would have considered it (their father is retired so the son would have the responsibility of all the sisters and they want a bahu who is earning so that she can share the responsibilities).
I also know an ONLY brother of 5 sisters who is so bigra hoa and irresponsible because of his sisters laad pyar.
Re: The Only Brother of Many Sisters
:halo: Ok I confess it was a complete ironical comment and I take that. It was a very very bad analogy but this is how it seems like when people think all women want is to make their husbands dance like puppets. And this is what I wanted to tell you that such servile husbands are quite a turn off for a large fraction of women who believe in individual rights and entity. Why would we want such husbands when we dont believe in dancing like a puppet for anyone ourselves. I think it should be as a wife should give the individual status and respect to her husband as he deserves and so should the husband. The attitude that your life is “my life” and you should act according to my orders you might have witnessed in a few but not all the women are like that. After all it is a male dominant society and we do want our husbands to be the head, period. Just that we as an individual should be heard to.
Re: The Only Brother of Many Sisters
It would depend on the family quite honestly speaking.
Re: The Only Brother of Many Sisters
that’s sooo wierd and inappropriate…they seem inconsiderate quite honeslty…first meeting should only be parents and the guy and that’s it!
Re: The Only Brother of Many Sisters
I was/ am ok with the eldest sister coming. The mother might need a second opinion. But imagine, all the sisters coming WITHOUT the guy

Ashy no offence but you have no right to judge his mother like this. And this is where the problem starts when assumptions are made based on thin line. Secondly, the guy's sisters are probably excited and happy that is why they want to come and see. Whats wrong with that? And lastly, they probably have reasons for having un-married sisters. Again, no right of you to even judge them based upon having so many unmarried sisters of his. Sab ke apnai issues hain. Focus on yourself as to what your ideal partner should have...make a list and go accordingly. The minute you some of my fellow men or some women starts to assume as well judge them unfairly, then you become a product of our backward culture.
