Pakistan and India... one of them actually looked like a sweet enough guy... bless him... just the way its done... I guess he was quite eager to find a wife... he had gone to the trouble to write me a very long and detailed email about him, his financial status and his prospects and said I seemed like a 'nice'and sweet girl... I wasn't offended by him... I just wrote back, wished him luck and told him that if he is looking for someone, don't propose straight away or he might scare them .... the other guy was a complete pest.. kept emailing me.. sending me flowers... ecards... I had to block him...

Just a culture thing...


i find this to be iteresting and also something i do not know about, yet. So, in india and pakistan it is still a custom to get married by arrangement?

I do get them from the Asian region ( India , Pakistan , Iran at times ... etc ) and even from Australia , UK and US .. in case of latter 3 some have been outright nasty.

Out here , yes, its still predominantly an arranged marriage scenario. But mainly its the view of " e-dating " and the " west " which makes " some " people behave in embarassing ways. Some are really simple and genuine .. as in thats the best way they thought to approach sort of thing .. sweet.

So , i guess ultimately we land up using a lot of block options.

I blocked an entire region for convenience and people ( none of them i knew ) who tried to contact me got offended ... well .. what can you say dunno

I get the impression that it is not a romantic concept for them certainly... I mean this guy (the nice one)thought.. ok.. I have got a good job.. good money.. this girl is going to think this is a great idea!!!.. it seems a bit like a transaction of convenience.. yes an arrangement... I don't think there is anything 'wrong' with it per se... alot of these marriages work.. and look at our side of the planet.. a mess laugh.. just not for me.. sometimes I do wish it were that easy though....

I cannot demonise something that is part of a culture. After all, it is how my grandparents got married and kind of how my parents did. It might be an idea of the past, but what i wanted to ask is if this is done with the consent of the girl that is about to be wed?

That is the most importand thing to me, because from there on, each one can have his own views on this.

Also, it seems that this is a subject where western and eastern cultures kinda clash; and it is perhaps because this is a *western* site (can be classified as such, at least on the forums) that such approaches / behaviours are laughed upon and condemned hmmm

Well, as my Pappa would say:

"You want me to arrange it?
Fine... but YOU are the one who is going to have to eat every last bite of whatever she cooks(no matter how funny it tastes) & sleep sometime(*evil cackle heard in background)."

He's such a smart man.
