i blame our culture for brainwashing women into believing that they have to be married to be content with life.
Which culture AE - the Pakistani or the Western? I strongly disagree. It's not our culture.
Look at women from other cultures - they are becoming more and more desperate nowadays, being single is a sin. Every woman nowadays is freaking out and desperately looking for a man (whether to marry or to have as a boyfriend). So no, it's not our culture who brainwashed women into thinking they have to be married to be content with their life. It's the women themselves. Their inner need.
Women who deny not needing men in their lives are liars.
Women who pretend marriage (long term commitment, if you will) is a cultural thing and not an internal desire are also in major denial.
So this natural want/need to get married in us, should it worry us? Not to a point that you start losing your hair and your self.
You're a smart person, Straight_up. That's a very rational opinion indeed.
You're not just saying it to be nice right? :)
