I loved the show, except the colorism where the matchmaker refers to light-skinned as a prettier and more desirable. In 2020 you shouldn’t show kids growing up that white skin is the goal for beauty.

Colorism runs deep in Indian culture. Yep While they could have adjusted to storyline it wouldn’t have resonated as true.

Honestly the best thing about this show is watching all the babaji and auntieji at the start of each episode talk about their marriage

likefunny

They kind of did that in the last episode! But yes quite adorable

Was it Aparna?? I thought she is a tough nut to crack :-)

like

Love that show. Aparna is way too picky. She seems to walk through life as if she’s perfect and that the men she’s meeting need to come up to her level of perfection.

I hope I don’t have to ever deal with an Aparna in my life

I liked the season and all the asks people have for match maker - she is super level headed though w all the connections she built.

She knows what people like broadly so based on person the opportunities might be high - if I am not tall I cannot feel bad about someone having genuinely better chances ..

As with any "reality" show, the casting is key but what makes the show is the writing/producing. It's impressive that the production hired writers who understand the nuances of the culture and matchmaking experiences.

I think that was all for the cameras, though. If you Google him you'll find out what happened afterwards.

It’s such a good show! Only thing that annoyed me is that they didn’t show the outcome of the matches. Did Aparna keep that guy or not? Inquiring minds want to know.

Really? Even Nadia and Shekar? Was really rooting for them 😕

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

He then texts me and says something along the lines of “yeah let’s do it” but doesn’t offer any concrete plan. Does this mean he’s not super into it? Or am I overreacting and I should initiate the plan? I initiated the insta follow and the dm so I feel like it’s his turn…?

I went from agency to in house PR 1.5 years ago (I’m at a prof services firm in nyc).

Is this normal in the corporate, non agency world? Not sure if this is just due to the pandemic and WFH, but I was under the impression that in house life would be more chill.
