a guess -- maybe because they have higher expectations of what they want from a partner than the prior gen, and are willing to make fewer compromises.

I guess. They have narrowed their pool.

it's easy to date and get to know non-indians when you're in college/grad school etc. it gets tougher afterwards. that said i have no problem with dating them. but you do know what it's like for women in the east coast, you posted that article.

and of course,max, no one has said anything about why men are undereducated these days or answered my q regarding dowry. this is turnig into a "let's get pravu hitched" thread. i assure you there are plenty of fish out there and i'm too self-infatuated to worry!!!

PN,

Please follow the bouncing ball. Smile

1) If you are comparing your income to those of others, then as a reference point for comparison, what you are making is not a moot point. I am not asking what you make, but just making that point.

2) I am not having trouble digesting anything, my food or otherwise. Smile

This is nothing more than of academic interest to me, since you are (presumably) not going to give me any of your earnings nor are the Indian guys who make less or more than you.

3) The question I posed to you is about the 'most' part. If you are in a middle class profession (which is my impression based on what you have posted here before), 50% may fall below your level and 50% above, all other things being equal. In this case, all other things are not equal, since the Indian population in the 25-35 age bracket in the US has a disproportionately higher percentage of techies than the american middle class. Since those skills and they are in demand they tend to make higher than middle class incomes. If you throw in independent contracting income or cashing in on stock options that number gets significantly higher.

So, if you are a doctor* or an investment banker, quite possible my theory in #3 goes out the window. Hope that explains it. Of course, this may be academic to you as well, if Indian guys are not your cup of tea altogether.

This reminds of a discussion I had, a few months ago, with an American colleague of mine. He certainly wasn't impressed by the way the class system is gaining a foothold into American culture. I guess this is no different than or a polished version of Indian caste system.

I can answer the dowry question. It is similar to the women in the article that's posted by max. Girls and their parents in India want the grooms who are well educated (more, not less educated than the women), earns well, and have substantial (potential)inherited property. The dowry rates are proportional to all of the above factors. The higher the education, earning capability, family property and social status, the higher the dowry rates. It's a case of demand and supply. Here men get to sleep with all the women they want to, there men get astronomical dowries.

PS: I think dowries were a thing of the past. Other factors are given more importance by the grooms than dowries.

I realize that your comments are in a lighter vein but I do know a couple of Indian origin girls in their early 30s who are not looking forward to get married but are happy with their lives (of course, their parents are worried) In any case, isn't being single the latest trend?

no, i didn't go to India. I went to New Orleans and fell in looove with that city! What a place to visit. It's so unlike any other city in US. There's so much culture and music there. Awesome jazz and blues singers everywhere (thought of max. this is THE place for him to visit).

the village types will ask you for a dowry staright up. now i know this only from the news. the slick ones make sure they're marrying a working woman preferably one with a profession (not all jobs are professions: you have the oldest profession, then you have law, medicine, teaching). these men like the wife to pay half the rent and the groceries. men are not men these days. ugh. i can't respect these people.

No, not Pat O'Brien's. Hubby had a sample there (while we were waiting for the Jazz show at the conference hall) and felt it was too strong. Our bartender at the Marriott suggested us to go to the famous blacksmith bar, the shack from the 17th century, with no electric lights. So, had it from there. Smile

this thread is saddening and disappointing; for no special fault of hers, a youngish woman has been deprived of a sex life and a husband, both of which she wants.

nanda should have divorced herself from her parents the moment she turned eighteen, and sought psychological counseling to undo the brainwashing she had received from them on religion, caste, subcaste, language, region, tradition, bollywood, education, men, sex, marriage, money, work, and life.

my estimate is that as few as one in 100,000 adult indians are progressive liberals, and that there are a total of about 12,500 such people in india, I.e. roughly 500 per state.

poor nanda never had chance.

in other words, indian -american parents, especially doctors, do an egregious job of bringing up their children in the u.s. such an upbringing will at best enable the children to be uninspired and uninspiring earning machines leading meaningless, boring, exhausted lives.

the children had only one choice in their illiberal lives: to rebel and live independent lives when they turned eighteen; but most are incapable of doing so, because they lack the courage and the education, for their parents sapped them of their courage when they "forced the junnu down their throats," and they gave them "a technician's training" instead of an education.

all education aside, whoever taught swapna to make social theories and inferences and twists and turns, and do a 360 within the scope of his own posts, must be proud how their eager student surpassed all their expectations.

How was your India trip ?
no, i didn't go to India. I went to New Orleans and fell in looove with that city! What a place to visit. It's so unlike any other city in US. There's so much culture and music there. Awesome jazz and blues singers everywhere (thought of max. this is THE place for him to visit).
Will be going to Vegas in Oct. Life is good!
oh...btw. i got drunk for the first time in NOLA! It's with a special drink of new orleans called hurricaine. It was a horrible experience! I puked and puked and puked until I could taste my bile. I wonder how ppl get addicted to alcohol.
Beware of that drink when in new orleans though! It tastes good, but takes you through hell slowly later.
Yup, a bit much of rum will do that you. Which is why I'm a scotch guy. The best part there is take out cups.

Sorrry, missed this post y'day. Ya, it's rum and it tasted good. I was thirsty and drank it like a fruit juice. The effect was felt later. I tried a couple of sips of whiskey (black lable, i think). It was bitter and tasted very bad. Couldn't take more than a couple of sips. Didn't understand why ppl drink it with so much fervor. The getting high as i experienced wasn't a good feeling either. So i don't get that part either.

thankfully, i have never thrown up from drinking so far... guess i follow certain rules... i try never to be with empty stomach when drinking, and i usually drink a lot of water through the day, so am not really dehyderated at a given (normal) point in time.

other things I do.. hmm. I also have a tendency to drink fast. But if I am taking a second drink, i force myself to drink a full glass of water first. And if i am on my third (or more) drink, then it's literally 2 sips of each alternately. Needless to say, I use restroom a lot, and hence hopefully flush it all out quickly enough.

I dramatically slow down or stop once i feel a buzz, and complete stop if i feel even slightly nauseated or burn in my stomach (happened 1-2 times).

but i have gotten decently buzzed or drunk. the funniest part of it is, at the time i don't realize i am (guess this is how it's for all). i really act quite logically (relatively), and people who have been with me do say later that compared to them i was much in control... but am really not in control.

my last time was when i got real hammered on 2 vodkas at lunch, (it was pure vodka when it was supposed to be a cocktail, god bless the bartender's living soul). Was supposed to be a 1 hour lunch break, stretched into 3 hours. my friends told me it's a very strong drink and they didn't finish the second one, but i didn't get it. Besides if something is infront of me, most likely i will finish it. Our sweet waitress was concerned, (she was laughing at us too, guessing we were really acting drunk, but we were happy customers), so had to assure her we won't drive, and to prove it, sat there over 2 hours before sobering up somewhat.

When coffee and dessert came, I made everyone eat the dessert. And I made everyone drink coffee too. poured creamer in their coffee. They jumped each time i split open a creamer and poured/dumped it in the cup in one big motion (no didn't drop any of it). And i didn't add sugar in anyone's cup, coz i myself don't take sugar. And then I kept asking them - why are you not having coffee, it's so good. A "normal" me would never ever make coffee for anyone (too shy), or will atleast ask their preference before each step.

Then we paid in cash, and after a point I forgot if we are to get any money back. I asked them, they had forgotten too and just shrugged. So I signaled the waitress back, asking if we paid or not. She still had that folder-thingie in her hand. So she opened it and laid it out on the table. At this point, I saw the bill, for the first time (I think). Read the total aloud, and began counting the cash, aloud. But couldn't add. Friend was repeating the numbers after me, but neither one of us could remember the last total. I tried to do the tip calculation, like 3 times. Blank there too. Then I opened my wallet, and added all the loose smalls bills i had.. one other friend also added some. i think about 10-11 dollars. Said - just in case we are short on tips. She laughed and left us alone for the rest of the afternoon.

Next day i asked on group chat - why was the bill so high? Why did we order coffee and dessert platter when we had eaten so much? They said they have no idea. Then, one said I was blankly nodding when the waitress was reading me the dessert menu. I guess I said yes to something then. Then I went to the restroom, came back and acted surprised and said 'woohoo! chocolate!' when it arrived.

there you go. awesome. this old fart likes to flex his e-muscles just coz his female spawn managed to go to good schools. wonder why he never talks about his loser male progeny that's is still in school in his 30s

irrelevant!

but since you brought up the subject, my "male progeny" attended universities - u.c.-berkeley and columbia university - for his undergraduate and graduate programs, that, in his fields, were ranked higher, at #1, than yale, harvard, or chicago were, in her fields. the u of chicago's #1 rank in economics is lately shared with m.I.t., harvard and princeton, whereas, columbia's and u.c.-b's #1 ranks in his fields are unshared.

the moral of the story: don't expect your children to develop into intelligent beings if you subject them to voodoo rituals and beliefs.

there you go. awesome. this old fart likes to flex his e-muscles just coz his female spawn managed to go to good schools. wonder why he never talks about his loser male progeny that's is still in school in his 30s
irrelevant!

but since you brought up the subject, my "male progeny" attended universities - u.c.-berkeley and columbia university - for his undergraduate and graduate programs, that, in his fields, were ranked higher, at #1, than yale, harvard, or chicago were, in her fields. the u of chicago's #1 rank in economics is lately shared with m.I.t., harvard and princeton, whereas, columbia's and u.c.-b's #1 ranks in his fields are unshared.

the moral of the story: don't expect your children to develop into intelligent beings if you subject them to voodoo rituals and beliefs.

Is it true that you can easily get into good schools if you choose some obscure major such as european theatrical studies?

in other words, indian -american parents, especially doctors, do an egregious job of bringing up their children in the u.s. such an upbringing will at best enable the children to be uninspired and uninspiring earning machines leading meaningless, boring, exhausted lives.
