Got introduced to my wife via rishta aunty. Was super against it.. but if you think about it, its just a different way of meeting someone..
So I gave it a shot with the intention to talk to her for a year plus, but after 6 months I knew she was the one and proposed to her and glad I did.
2 kids aH and we are a great fit.
IMHO - rishta routes are vetted by our aunties before they even presented. Apps are just as simple as scrolling. FWIW millennial here married for 10+ years now Alhamdullilah!
Might be cultural and generation specific, but nearly everyone in India speaks English these days. I would assume it’s generally the same in other countries too
I tried the apps for six months (33 F) - met great men but it didn’t workout because life happened or we are just not a good fit. It took a lot of effort to find them though- I was talking to 5/6 guys at the same time and filter immediately if I see any red flags.
I have to say that I always meet people organically who are interested but they are non muslims and the Muslim ones in my community are not as accomplished or progressive as I would like my partner to be.
I am not on the apps anymore because I don’t wanna put a lot of effort on getting married. If it happens it is Allah’s willing, if not I have a great life and many dreams and things to accomplish :)
…/s 😅
Just what the apps are like atm with low effort
This is not limited to just Muslim apps. I hear from all my non-desi friends who are struggling as well. The gamification of the apps has people constantly swiping for something better.
There’s no need to put in effort because you can match with someone else. And even if you connect with someone (who probably has some flaw because everyone has flaws), you constantly find yourself wondering if the next person is that perfect unicorn.
lol because good men would never go in a dating app
At Costco
My sense is that being on these apps allows us to arbitrarily judge people based on how we read their comments before we even truly know the person… and the illusion of infinite choice just amplifies that behavior… there are good men and women to be found, but not perfect men and women
It just takes one chance. Please don’t lose hope. I met a very kind Muslim man who values me and is serious about marriage on an app. Unexpected but wonderful chance encounter. Don’t give up but try other avenues as well.
Describe good people
Walaikum Salam. There are good people, but it's a matter of time, commitment to sift through, and all the effort that comes with it. I understand it can be time consuming or mentally draining but that's just the process with it. IA May Allah make it easy for you.
Ps. It's the same from a guys perspective too.
The women on their are also absolute 🗑️
They play everyone while casually looking for the tallest doctor that will live away from his family 😂
Get off dating sites. Go out and meet people in real life. Go to the mosque and volunteer regularly. You’ll meet better people that way
It depends on where you are located. I am in an area where most of the population are early twenties or older grandparents. Before that I was living in an area where most where most muslims are from Bangladesh which I am looking for an Arab. So there are scenarios where going to the mosque would not help meeting people.
