His dealbreaker that a wife has to homeschool any kids is going to be an issue with many, many women.

I took the discussion to mean that he wanted to do the homeschooling, not his wife. He said in one of the episodes that he knows how to cook and clean and could be a stay at home dad.

NP. Yes. But....Indian families value school, not homeschooling. So it may be a dealbreaker for a potential wife.

I feel like if the jewelry guy were really gay the jewelry would be more attractive.

I definitely think Nadia's date who stood her up a few times was gay.

Not entirely true, there are a decent of Indian homeschoolers both here and in India.

That said, a highly educated, career-driven wife is going to expect some sort of ambition from the husband. That's pretty much a given across races.

When you just meet someone and find out they expect to be a homeschooling, stay at home dad most women would be skeptical about the reality of if it would work. Especially if gaming and D&D are the guy's favorite pastimes. I mean they're fun hobbies, but the combo of that and the SAHD and the homeschooling is a LOT to digest. Maybe if they were already highly educated and have done well enough in their careers to take time off. I know a guy that did so well, he retired before he was 40. If he wanted to be the homeschool, stay at home dad, I'm sure more women he was interested in would be open to it.

Vyasar needs to find someone that is more laid back with regards to ambition and career goals, the women he met were not that. This goes back to compatibility needing to find someone similar to his desired lifestyle. While that woman does exist somewhere in the Indian women world, she will be the needle in a haystack.

Excuse me I’m dumbfounded. I just watched the last episode and Ed never saw Vyasaaf again. After sitting in his car about to tell his new gal about his ex/con Dad. Will we ever find out? And it’s been several episodes since we’ve seen jewelry guy. Not since the horse cafe with the stunning model. Is that guy now ofc the Shia? So frustrated.

There were a lot of loose ends, that I thought would get picked up next season, assuming there is a next season. But, given the interviews and whatnot, that's probably not the case?

The show was definitely disjointed. Loved it, but it was done a little sloppily.

Honest question. Do straight guys make clothes for their dolls?

There were hundreds of them! He designed and made them. The gods get to choose what to wear. They can wear a new outfit every day.

I don’t know any gay men who make clothing for dolls either, so that’s really irrelevant.

Besides, these aren’t Barbie dolls, they’re part of Hindu spiritual culture.

Liking clothing does not make someone gay.

Thank you. People keep calling them dolls and it is super disrespectful. They are deities.

I love Nadia, but she is a bad judge of men. Also, I think the profiles stated things like non-drinker and vegan.

Someone asked what the "weird growth on the side of his face is" with regards to Pradhuyam. It's a preauricular skin tag. It's not that uncommon to be born with one. As a medical professional who works in the newborn nursery, I have seen them on babies - sometimes on both sides and sometimes just on one side as in his case. I guess it doesn't look that bad on babies - as they are usually really small. Most parents get a referral to a plastic surgeon and have them removed in the preschool age range. In India, skin tags by some are considered good luck so perhaps that is why his was never removed.

I dont understand why - outside a reality show- the Guyanese woman would do this matchmaking? She's ethnically Indian maybe but it doesn't seem like she's culturally Indian?

Also, is there a stigma against blended families among Indian families? What would happen to the children of women who marry another divorced guy?

Probably because her sikh husband must have cheated with an American. Dad probably thinks that Americans have loose morals and anyone picking up an American wife in the first place is also not a moral person.

Bingo!

I also think there may be a difference in seeing your daughter marry an American man vs. a man who marries a (loose) American woman.
