[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain why Indian Matchmaking in general is unnecessarily shallow? So much focus on physical attributes which people have no control over! And while there was some comments about values and personality, it's like they were all looking for a unicorn without putting in any effort themselves. [/quote]

Isn't that the basis of every single American reality TV show? [/quote]

I think the American ones put more emphasis on how the person is as an individual but not so much their entire family. With the Indians, it's like they're condemned to a life of singledom if the parents have issues, like the guy whose dad went to prison. Something about 'respectability'. That's sad and shallow AF.[/quote]

And people from other countries may think it’s sad and shallow AF that Americans are so individualistic and not think of family and community.

It’s a different worldview. One way is not better than the other, each has benefits, each has faults. Try not to view everything through a narrow lens.
