some people just don't know what's good for them..even if it hits them in the head..

arranged marriages are a mix bag of nuts..it entails good and bad.. but ultimately it would take an open minded individual to explore its potential.

Marriage is not strictly about "love" The love ends quickly when reality sets in. Get the duco of your parents before you marry.


Well that's the way u think now, wait untill your hoyo find u an ugly girl (fat, shourt and dark)....Good luck.

I find that insecure people who can't get date tend to go for arranged marriage specially the men more then the woman.

Never seen gorgeous people needed help from their parents for marriage

i'm just stating the facts

People ask for arranged marriage when they can't get mates on their own. They need the help of their relatives, family etc like blind dates. Gorgeous people don't need the help to hook up their look automatically attracts everyone to them therefore have the choice of brushing them off or continuing in taking to the next level.

From experience every girl that I've seen who wanted arranged marriage are either ugly, fat, insecure, old, un-educated or have highschool diploma, are not allowed to go out either due to culture or religion reason. and therefore need the help from their parents or relatives to meet someone. Same goes to men.

None of those apply to me my dear, just waiting for the perfect guy (in my eyes) and if my parents or friends want to help me out then why not? At the end of the day i've got the right to say No.

:lol: :lol:

Talk about an over-generalization. There are so many "gorgeous" people who are depressed and lonely, who can't even get a spouse even in our own Somali community.

I totally agree with you dude (cept from a woman's prespective). So many ppl have hidden agenda's and you really dont know what to beleive anymore. I can probably count how many men have just kinda brushed me off either b/c A)Im very opinonated B) I have an amazing job and make lots of $$ (hence they think Im "high maitenance") C) I grew up with boys, so boys I hang out with and I get em like in brotherly way but they get intimidated ya know....anywho...I get ya!
