Why is it so difficult to find a CF (Childfree) woman for marriage? Hello all, I'm a guy in early 30s, and I'm trying to find a Child-free (CF) woman in the 28-34 age group for marriage, doesn't matter whether she's never been married or is a divorcee, as long as she's honest about the reasons. I'm wondering if the pool I'm looking at is just too small, or if the CF and DINK (Dual Income, No Kids) lifestyle is still not that common in India. Looking for insights, thoughts from women specifically. Thank you. PS: Child-free woman is a woman who... 2 0 replies

To those who have felt that sex outside/before marriage is worthless, please share your opinions on what have you realised about it? Hi I am an new adult, and i feel sex is an incredibly intimate and sort of a sacred thing we can do with someone, i feel that if we do engage in even well meaning and deeply intimate sex with someone, and later on don't marry them, then our ability to be intimate with the person we actually do end up marrying will surely diminish, even if slightly. But I want a more in depth explanation, maybe just a bit more elaborate than what i have felt. Just... 3 0 replies

Why do we accept decay as our destiny? If you have given up, read this. The sheer apathy we Indians have is astonishing. We walk past mountains of garbage, breathe in poisoned air, drink contaminated water, and consume adulterated food—yet we don’t flinch. Corruption isn’t an anomaly; it’s a way of life, woven into the fabric of our daily existence. We don’t fight it. We endure it. We shrug. We sigh. We say, “Yahi hai system.” We’ve normalized decay. We’ve accepted dysfunction as the status quo. Now, here’s the deal: I will take USA’s example. America’s history spans barely 300 years, yet they believe... 1 0 replies

What’s the most painful moment of your life? I'm sharing my most painful moment. When I was 16, the unbearable quality of life pushed me to run away from home. I reached the railway station and boarded the first train I saw. It took me to Jaipur, where I ate some poha outside the station before heading back in and hopping onto another random train. This time, I ended up in Mumbai. With nowhere to stay, I spent my nights sleeping on Juhu Beach and wandered aimlessly during the day. After a week, my money ran out.... 4 0 replies

Question on Indian Customs Classification: Does “Personal Use” Automatically Force HS Code 9804? Hi everyone, I recently imported a specialized product from abroad that, according to its technical specifications and the applicable tariff schedule, should be classified under a specific HS code with a much lower duty rate. Instead, I was charged a significantly higher duty based on HS Code 9804. According to the courier’s explanation, all personal imports in India are filed under 9804—resulting in 10% Basic Customs Duty (BCD), a 10% surcharge on the BCD, plus 28% IGST on the assessable value. Here’s a summary of my situation: The product... 2 0 replies

Why are intercaste (both M/F dwija) marriages frowned upon? [Serious] While it is undestandable how/why upper and lower caste marriages are considered blasphemous, why are intercaste (both dwija) marriages frowned upon? Please stick to the point. What is the importance of caste endogamy in Indian culture ? I'm curious, since I've seen many people fixate absolutely on finding a partner from the exact same caste/subgroup, regardless of any other concerns. 5 0 replies
35/F Why is finding plain genuine friendship so hard at 35 ? Edit: I am not a lonely person. I am asking about genuine connections beyond family, raising children or profession. I have a busy career, married, looking after family and raising a child. Not exactly having free time or loneliness. What I am asking is for like minded genuine interaction that leads to a productive discussion. May be learn something new from each other. Discuss skills and life experiences. Conversations that don't die in a day or two. When we are younger people are more open to discuss ideas. I... 2 0 replies
Mrs. movie offends because its real but is one particular change needed from women? **NO MOVIE SPOILERS** Watched Mrs. yesterday as a guy and the movie is very much real. Some things might be exaggerated here and there (as per today's standards, no doubt women have gone through this 20years ago). But, overall the movie is true for many women of India, everywhere 2 decades ago and in tier2/tier3/rural areas even today. I have seen it happen and I have heard about it happening to people as well. I do, however, have one tiny opinion to share. Just my two cents. Our world... 4 16 replies

How are you all straights doing? Valentine's day just went by. While returning from the movies with my gf, I saw this girl with smeared makeup standing alone waiting for a cab. She obviously had been crying before. I didn't pay much heed to it, maybe had a bad date. I drop my girl to her place and return to mine as my friend pulls me over to her side and begins venting about how she is considering breaking up with her bf because he's pressurising her into having sax sux with him because it's... 3 0 replies
