Desi folks! Why do you let your parents manage your profile on the websites? It’s so uncomfortable when you get a call at 4 am saying “beta, we like your profile.” 🤷🏽‍♂️

I want 2 level of checks

Haha you know which one would be the 2nd level😅

I let/asked my parents create my profile and manage it. Ofc I have complete access to it as well.

The reason is, I want their experience/wisdom before I talk to a stranger from the internet. And I prefer if they have the first conversation to see if folks are serious or not. I want the “selection” of my SO to be a collaborative effort with my parents. Also, my parents aren’t the kinds to push me in to anything.

I also know many many profiles of boys which are managed by their parents.

Lol that’s fair. You do you.

From what I’ve heard from friends it’s because the parents created the profile without consulting them.

Haha samesies!

Set your ringtone to a moaning one for early termination of unsolicited calls.

Haha sure!

How does a person change their mindset to be more positive? I feel like I’m meant for my job, but blame all my life problems on it….having no energy, being single at the age of 30, etc. and it seems like a never ending loop. I look for new jobs, realize I have a good job then am ok for a bit then start it all over again. When I’m off of work I’m fine and realize I have it pretty good. Only real negative is I can’t vacation with my family in March due to my busy time.

Calling her dark is acceptable and appreciated. I know "chocolate" comes from a place of affection, but I just can't embrace it 💯.
