[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The women are PICKY. I've seen this a million times.[/quote] +1 - and that applies pretty universally to high achieving urban woman of all ethnicities. When you talk about women from the countries listed by the OP, particularly South Asia, they are often highly constrained by super-conservative/reactionary family expectations. [/quote] +2 My college educated, single minority friends are picky about stupid, superficial sh!t that you need to let go of when you are pushing 40. They also want stuff that they do not offer. To be blunt (or crass), they want someone out of their league.[/quote] I think "too picky" or "refuse to settle" is the nice spin put on commitment-phobic women - people are happy to trash men who avoid commitment, saying things like "they refuse to grow up", but there are just as many women like this and it always gets spun as 'why do I have to settle'...guess what? everybody settles. I do agree with one of the original responses: you only "have to" settle if you actually want to get married or paired off...and there is not a thing wrong with not wanting to be paired off. [/quote]
