My LM is so keen on small small things, not related to coding but documentation and all. Atleast once in a week I'm committing mistakes on small documentation points n he is stressing on same. Are there any chances that my probation will not be extended or is it a clue for me from my LM. He is Looping his LM and asking questions/clarifications.
Should I ask him directly or can be ignored or need to try outside. Please suggest Barclays
Howz it working with DBS Hyderabad?

Maybe they are just good partners? Reliable, devoted, kind, stable men?
No way it’s that! It’s a secret conspiracy!
I’m a tall, thin pretty blonde woman and my husband is also tall and quite cute, but he’s not the hottest guy I’ve ever been with.
However, he is an exceptional partner. He puts in effort, is caring, committed, interesting to talk to, and so much more.
When I was dating around- I was looking for someone to be my future husband and father of my kids.
It’s not a big secret. You should probably just reevaluate how you treat women if you’re feeling salty about this
I look around at all these incredible single moms in my area and I honestly don't get how they're being overlooked. As a man, I’ll tell you: if polygyny were legal, I’d be the most motivated guy on the block trying to marry them all! There’s something so attractive about a woman who’s already a mother—the 'biological clock' pressure is gone, the maturity is there, and you can just focus on the romance and building a great life. It really is the perfect stage of life.
Looks do not matter.
Unless you start modeling and your partner gets an attitude over it even if you're not doing nude or trashy type modeling. It also can be a factor if you work in other areas of entertainment where being around attractive people is part of the job. Some guys get very weird and insecure about that stuff and models, actors, photographers, others in that space do NOT want to be dealing with some jealous partner.
Because hot guys are like hot women, someone out there is always tired of the BS?
High side of average have been some of the best women I have know and or dated. All butter faces I have met, have been amazing people and looks are not everything.
A 5 or 6 with a great personality > 10 high maintenance with a bad personality all day every day. 90% of guys are high side of average, so I assume the same metrics apply.
Hairstylists1: no, but I never really planned to get married....ever so that does not factor.
I have however stayed friends with or dated them and hold them in pretty high esteem against my maybe high metrics to get to marriage level.
Clearly it's not looks. It is about you make us feel. "I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Mya Angelou.
If a woman's friends and relatives think you are ugly, and not rich enough, and that she can do better, they will relentlessly try. They will try to set her up with everyone THEY want her to go out with. They will look for fault in the poor guy, and blow little faults/problems up out of all proportion. They will shun him. Maybe even shun her. They will set up scenarios where it will be almost impossible for her not to cheat or do things she should not, and give encouragement ( in whatever form) to do them. At the first sign your love's friends and relatives are cold and avoid you, leave and leave quickly. There is only heartache and big trouble ahead. Unless you can stand to see her cheating and like being treated like something stuck under a shoe.
A women need a husband who cares her,morally support ,mently relaxed her .financially strong and sincere .if she found these element in a person then she devoted herself to him.the relation is focused on ethics and values not on face value.i have seen many handsome and smart guys and ladies but their married lives are not too good or happy only because their relations are dependent on good looks only and beautiful couple whether they are not fulfilled each other requirements ....happy couple make a happy home
Something that people tend to overlook is that some guys don’t fear rejection and are confident. Two guys see an attractive woman and guy A won’t approach because he’s insecure and thinks the woman would laugh in his face. Guy B has no hang ups and approaches the woman because he finds her attractive.
You get it!
Because partnership is not for the show. If your goals and values are aligned, that’s the most important.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder bro
Emotional intelligence
Honestly usually when men ask for advice or critiques it’s taken as an attack and they get defensive when we are also looking for love just like them. If men understood we aren’t trying to attack we are just trying to help the world would be a better place.
idk im not a good looking guy. I was always told I am safe and nice. Like a brother. So needless to say I get rejected by employers and woman a lot. like a lot. i stopped trying I’m just not good enough. No job no car so no one will date a guy like me. However I have skills and other things, I thought would matter just as much like my communication skills my ability to actively listen to someone I can cook clean I like to be as helpful to someones life as possible. Yet I am always looked over. I’m fit athletic build with a very hairy body thought woman would like that till they saw I’m only 5 foot. As a man I’ve dated unemployed and uneducated I’m told I’m shallow but I simply wanna give the love I have in me to someone who will love me back for as I am. But I am simply not good enough. My sister is to me ugly inside and out yet guys will chase my sister around just so she can use and abuse them. Dating do make sense anymore it was easy when I was in high school because everyone was right there. Now I’m 25 and I think honestly ima be alone till death do me part.
You think women are attracted to a very hairy body??? Aahahahaah! Uh no. Not most of us. Get thee to a Waxer!
How do you know if they are “funny” by looking them up? And why are you researching this so much to determine if they are “funny?”
Dude. The west has fallen. Billion must die.
I noticed this is very common in the South. I asked a female friend from down there about it and she said that Southern women tell their daughters to marry average looking dudes so they’ll always have the upper hand in the marriage.
Gross.
It depends on the male to female ratio of the city. More women than men in the city = less attractive men get more attractive women.
Most women would chose an average looking guy with a great personality and a since of humor over a creepy good looking guy with no personality.
This works the same way for guys. Beauty gets you in the door but you have to have more unless you just want a trophy wife. I've met beautiful women who had no personality, no sense of humor, lacked common sense or just plain lousy in bed. Thus, they were like a Ferrari with no engine...pretty to look at but not good for much else.
My husband wasn't my typical type, but from minute one I was comfortable with him. He made me laugh, he listened when I spoke, put the effort to see me, and fit in with my family. He was confident as hell and it showed in all aspects of his relationships. His family is also amazing. He was cute... but as I got to know him and see who he was the more attractive he became.
I know in my experience when I was younger I definitely went for the hot guy. But the hot guy physically and mentally abused me, the hot guy cheated on me with my best friend, the hot guy had women calling our house in the middle of the night and breaking my car windows (???). So I took time for myself and learned I deserved to be TREATED kinder... and found that. And with that, our extremely handsome son learned that you treat the people you date with kindness, understanding and love.
Wow. OP really needs to read some Gottman Institue research. It really isn’t a hard to answer question, but the have some serious research close to 40 . And can predict with 90% accuracy the likelihood of a couple divorcing with just a few few hours of observation of the couples interaction. The gist of their research boils down to couples with shared value, who truly care for and prioritize connection with their partner.
Just be nice, polite and respectful. Recently the man are sexist, MAGA, conservative and are just disgusting with women. Women now don't need money from men just a good partner
Yes someone whose a protector. I think more men standing up to other men would help women feel more comfortable and that they feel seen and heard.
I wish that were the case. I'm actually really good with accountability, because I've learned that there is no room for egos inside relationships. Initial message is either a volgur expression of what they think of me physically, a explicit description of what they want to do to me. Not all but a great amount of them. Others I'm finding later they have girlfriends and shouldn't be on dating app anyway, or they claim to want to find someone but make no actual effort to have conversations that are needed in order to get to know someone, if I reach out to initiate conversation it's a lot of one word responses, getting stuck in the never ending "how you doing" messages
Pro
yea one word responses from people is not fun lol. and yea vulgar stuff would definitely be offputting I totally agree although i didn’t know it happened that frequently along with guys already having girlfriends thats wild. you’re guy is out there though dont lose hope🙏🏻
People say this about my husband and I, but I couldn’t find a better father, lover, listener or best friend. He’s my rock, my foundation. He makes Me laugh and smile when I feel my worst. It’s not about looks, it’s about the communication, compassion and true love we’ve had from day 1.
Cause there are no good looking men emotionally available
Yup I have a few gay friends myself! Love em!
