Re: Why Do men do this??????
^ I don't think (at least I hoping) that the thread creator's intention was to say that one group of desi girls is more or less superior than the others.
I think that her intention was to address the erroneous views held by some aunties living abroad that desi girls in Pak would make better wives. And the sad reality is that some of these aunties have the wrong intentions when it comes to their idea of a "better bahu".......which can entail someone who is blindly obedient, passive, will do household chores, etc etc.
The truth is that not all girls are in Pak are like that. My cousins in Pak are so different when it comes to their personalities. Some are into household chores.....some don't go near them. Some are very down-to-earth.......others can be bit taiz and sneaky and tactless. But then again, I've found these same qualities in girls who are more Westernized.
To each his own. When dealing with matter of rishtas, we're picky about a WHOLE SLEW of things....not only where the potential was brought up. We also have preferences for looks, job, education, compatible personalities, etc. Although it's wrong to generalize, people base their opinions (good or bad) on the types of experiences that they've had. In the end, you do what you feel is best for you.
