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!

Am I going crazy? I feel like my close friend is always trying to “one up” me in conversation. Any time I make a point, they will go out of their way to prove I’m wrong with some sort of stat or evidence. It’s like they need to have the last say.

They try to make me look bad at times without noticing. I don’t know how to approach this as we are all in a pretty tight friend group.

Am I tripping? Everyone loves calling my daughter (2 months) "lil chocolate drop" or "look at all that chocolate". I love my daughter's complexion, not only because it's mine, but because it's beautiful. However, I can't help but feeling like ppl "other" or make it weird by avoiding saying dark. Calling her dark is acceptable and appreciated. I know "chocolate" comes from a place of affection, but I just can't embrace it 💯.

It’s just a bit overwhelming at this time and I’m not sure how to communicate through all of this being thrown at me. 3 yrs together and we were friends for many years before that.
