Offtopic: Being not good looking is a curse in this world ☹️ I am an average Indian
boy with 5'5" height and fair complexion with decent salary of 25 LPA WITH 5.6 years of experience in a product based company. Since more than 1 year my family started looking for girl for my marriage. Buy got rejected from everywhere. I don't know what girls want 😐

Yes it is a curse for sure, but you can turn around your situation by changing your 25 Lpa into 60 or 70Lpa. Then see the magic. The looks you are worried about will go out of the window. Everyone will say that we don't value money, but values and all this nonsense, but in reality nobody gives 2 hoots about values and all these things. Shouldn't be the case but it is what it is, so for males there is no choice but to be very successful which in today's materialistic world is about the money you have.

Taking away health is your addition not mine. Secondly for nora fatehi types even 70lpa won't be sufficient.

Dude tbh try a good photographer and pay 10-15k It works

You are insecure that's it. I am 6'2 lean built, 30 M 32 lpa and getting no positive response from families for marriage.
I am decent looking(based on the matches I get on bumble and hinge).

Guess what, like others have said only one thing matters in marriage, money.

Earn so much that nobody cares about your height and looks.

The harsh truth is females are still looking for financial security while marriage but say no to dowry.

You still have time, try to earn more if this bothers you a lot.

Good looking girls and decent looking girls have lot of options ... This situation wont change. And you will be forced to get married to someone that you may not think is worthy of you. But if you wish for a family you will have to compromise or if you get lucky to find one then its good.

I dont want to settle for someone who is not matching my criteria, so i have 2 choice.. either find someone who i will be less interested in and convince myself this is what i get and cheat myself in name of acceptance..

Or wait to see if i can get a person as per my preference
Or stay alone for few years ...

I dont have a criteria like i need heroin looks.

I look for 2 things
They should have a active life ( i dont want someone who is fat and lazy - as they will drag me down..i like to have a fit and active life).
I wish for someone who can be in a job and be responsible.

Now that's very hard to find

Trying to find from 2+ yrs..
Almost close to 30 now

Look is just external factors, even if you get most handsome guy or prettiest girl in the world after a yr that person look doesn’t even matters. Choose people based on internal features that will be stay long run , external features will go away with time.

How does average guys from TCS earn 10 lpa gets married. Your opinion contradicts reality!

The guy that got married to the village school teacher ,AM settings. He is 5 feet 4 average guy, OP has to expand his search if he is targetting girl from Big4 or MBB it will be difficult then. He has to target the village.

It's not entirely on looks, don't curse yourself. People are confused today with lot of options that's it. Women anyway search for someone above themselves, and I am sure in every aspect you can find someone who is worse than you in all parameters.

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
