What on EARTH is up with Vikash breaking up with a girl he has great chemistry with because she doesn't speak Hindi, which he takes to mean lack of interest in the culture, and then rejecting another girl because she is TOO Indian and speaks native Hindi with an Indian accent?!??? I mean what the actual f. We've seen clueless guys who have a lot of undesirable qualities demand a perfect 10 woman, but this really takes the cake.

Indian American DP. Agree. I am not finished the season but the way Priya spoke about him after was not nice. He was too enthusiastic about everything, and he shouldn’t have worn heels to that dancing first date. But, she was making fun with her friends because he was short.

Those who want and also have what is rewarded in traditional Indian culture (e.g., high paying job, same caste) should do this matchmaking. Others would do better on their own. There are tons of Indians who don’t want those things and they would be happier with them or someone not Indian.

This show also gives me a view into why some people are single when they don’t want to be. Vikash at first glance seems like a catch but he’s a mess. He is focusing on the silliest things. The lists that people give with their criteria are crazy.

I haven’t had to date in the online world but I bet my husband and I wouldn’t have connected . We don’t have too many common interests but we have the same worldview, sense of humor, thoughts on family, and thoughts on how to balance family and work. That is what made us work and most couples I know. The other stuff is not important. A man bun is temporary. Who cares if he loves cricket or doesn’t?

I’m just here to say I am once again completely impressed and envious of Sima Auntie, who is a good 30 years older than me. She is so elegant, stylish, and chic. Her hair is beautiful, her makeup is subtle, her clothing and jewelry are always great. She looks fabulous.

I'm watching episode 3 and trying to skim this thread without carefully reading to avoid spoilers. . .

What is with Sima offering Vikash a date with someone who meets all his criteria except wanting children?? The one characteristic that should be respected and non-negotiable! It seems really disrespectful toward the woman, because the implication is that Sima thinks this woman will just change her mind or be convinced to give in on that. Not cool!

Yea, if that’s the reason she set them up, it is very disrespectful. It made me think the show is really fake and these people aren’t serious. (Which makes sense since there have been no weddings at all on this show. Love is Blind for example has a number of marriages.)

I thought he was a trainer. I wondered the same thing.

I used to love this show but this season left me wanting. I would have loved to see more of the tall Indian woman, I thought she was great! Glad that Arti found love but what does that have to do with the show? It did not come from the matchmaking. Generally, I find the editing very poor.
Sima auntie wears beautiful outfits and always looks so elegant but she needs to stop calling her clients boys and girls.

Agree, that was just bizarre. I have no idea why that was even in there.

This is a cultural thing. I would not expect a woman from India who is her age to ever stop doing this.

I agree with this. Watching this season, it illuminates that there is always a reason the person is single. An issue that they need to work on. I don't want to give it away because it's an aspect that develops later in the season, but that beautiful model girl from New Delhi (Rupali?) -- at first I was totally charmed by how close she is to her parents and how she doesn't want to leave them. I see myself and my DD in her..... but by the end, you learn more about her, and it's like WOW. Issues. Issues that need to be resolved. She is a great person but these issues are why she is not married yet.

Most of these people-- it's not that their "criteria" is too high. It's that they really minimize their own flaws and how much people may be turned off by them. Especially with the guys-- won't look at a girl whose not thin or traditionally beautiful, but it's fine what I look like because" a) actually you know I'm not bad looking and b) but my other qualities are sooo great." They are willing to make concessions for themselves but not for others. And I think you continue to be single and never compromise- usually if there's an underlying issue causing that attitude.
