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.

[b]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. [/b]

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?  [/quote]

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.[/quote]
