Who goes to an over 30's club? (123)

Yeah, I've heard it's a given that an Indian woman will get along famously with her mother-in-law, they have no choice
And this is what I love about travel Opportunities to learn about other cultures that are so entirely different from ours.

I had an Indian, errrummmm...lover once, an Indian Sikh. Very wealthy family and all that, but you'd never know. Not pretentious. Anyway, his father really liked me, but his mother didn't, cos the neigbours would tell her when I'd been around and she didn't like it. She would make sni**ering remarks to me at times, so when I told H., he told her off(without me present!) and she stopped it and was nice to me. That was so easy.
So I probably would have been able to live with his parents. I love Indian food!!!
Besides, they are used to have hired help. Nothing wrong with that now and again.

we have quite a few Indians and Sri Lankans where I work and one family both husband and wife work with the company. In the last 3 years they have had 4 children (1 set of twins) and the wife is still working. Coz the Mum in Law looks after the children so they both can work.
Their outlook on family and life is definitely different to Western views. Also even just to a meal, seldom do the Indians and other Asian nationalities ever not share their lunches. What they bring is free for all to share.
And yes, if you like a lot of spice, they are great cooks!
I know it makes the workplace more like a community than just a workplace. We all support each other and it is a friendly place to work in. It is the people that make it pleasant, not the company that we work for.
I can wholeheartedly understand why other cultures would be disenchanted with our 'western' views on family and marriage.
Look also at Italian and Greek families where the parents and grandparents are living with and cared for by the family.
Im not saying that Aussie families dont do this, it just doesnt seem to be as prevelant
maybe Im wrong.
as for over 30 clubs..... how are ya gonna score a toy boy if you hang at those places??

starcrossfish: FarOUT, What's up your bum?!! Did some aussie chick reject you AGAIN?!!
sxc666: No I think you are wrong there. I am very much a family person. But I do enjoy music. And I see nothing wrong with a good day out, enjoying a band at a pub.
You have to try and stop stereotyping things so much.

I'd put an Indian onatwork straight away as they as great workers. Many of the workplaces I worked in during my youth had so many sick leave, strike union people where the indians just continue working like troopers.Their outlook on family and life is definitely different to Western views.

Their work ethos is much better than western society.
Larf75: I think you'll find the majority of chicks won't go out on their own. I haven't been to an over 30's club but there are a few of us (off this site) talking about going to one and why not. You never, never know if you never, never go.
You definately have to stop thinking everyone is made up of the same make up. I love going to the pub. I don't usually drink when I go out as I like to know I can get home. I don't pick up. I just enjoy socializing, listening to music, playing pool and sometimes dancing. I haven't done a club for a while but certainly wouldn't object to going to one. Any night out is a good night out in my books.
Maybe guys should just stay in groups, the ladies in their groups and never the twaine shall meet.You definately have to stop thinking everyone is made up of the same make up.

I found china very interesting..very different to our culture!!!..normalguy68: Just wondering what it's like as I've never been to one and was wondering how probable finding someone at one would be?
Do women still hang around in groups as I hate that and won't approach a woman in a group ever.
I would only approach a solitary damsil in distress.
I've never been to one but have thought about it....I usually go out with one other girl and definately have more guys approach me then if I'm with a group.....Do women still hang around in groups as I hate that and won't approach a woman in a group ever.

women are very judgemental I don't blame you for being scared to approach a woman in a group
I think I'm gonna be in trouble for this one
I'd be even to old to join speed dating group, let alone be allowed into an over 30's venue!!
Errmmm....What is an over 30's venue? Does it have a sign in front saying so?

There are clubs for over 30's but they aren't nightclubs... and you have outings and stuff.Errmmm....What is an over 30's venue? Does it have a sign in front saying so?
Brisbane used to have an over 30's nightclub when I was in my early 30's and I never got around to going....wonder why they closed it down

I never felt judged, just intimidated, it's a lot easier approaching a lonely damsil in distress than it is a lady in a group, btw, which lady is the single in the group?women are very judgemental I don't blame you for being scared to approach a woman in a group I think I'm gonna be in trouble for this one

well, from what I've picked up, this thread is about over 30's single people...Assume all in the group are single until you get slapped, then ya know different!!

Could be similar reason as serene wrote: idiots, just add alcohol(or summet like that..)
That's a pretty big gap, 30 to............
.......... 100
...Could make for a good mix, though

There is no way to tell if someone is single or not. Even married women do stand on their own sometimes ...
I would have thought that a group would be easier to talk to, as you have a better than average chance of catching the attention of one of them.
venere08: Ah, the good old days, serene....
In the good old days we used to have parents without partners, over 30s over 40s even over 50s every pub used to have one thurs or fri nights, now I really havent looked. Think I ll drink by myself its more fun.venere08: well, from what I've picked up, this thread is about over 30's single people...Assume all in the group are single until you get slapped, then ya know different!!

last night I was on my way back from the airport and I was chatting away with the cabbie from the Punjab(where else, you ask??!!). he's been here 3 yrs and disenchanted with our culture in general, especially about the poor family values. Which brought me to ask him about dating in India. or Punjab, more specifically.
He said it was about 50-50 of arranged vs pot luck marriages. Results wise, he said he thought the arranged ones tended more likely to last. Parents would have checked the young lady's family, to the last detail, I bet. Then she and her family would be discussed with him, and then the two would meet. Anything between 3-6mths to 2yrs, before there is a 'ring ceremony'.
Oh, you'll love this....After marriage, it is a given that the girl leaves her parents' home, and goes to live with her husbnad. No problems with that. Except it's customary that the son remain living with his parents. Only one or two children would be conceived, which the cabbie said, would make it comfortable for all, as it's not that many people living under the one roof. The upside is the ready babsitting!!
I wanted to quizz him a lot more, but we arrived at my destination.
