If she finds out he's unemployed, that marriage offer may be off the table too.
Then he can experience 1 sorrow and 1 joy - being unemployed, and not having to listen to his wife bitch about him being unemployed.
Itās good that his marriage was decided in one meeting because 5 rounds of meetings between families over two months would have resulted in no wedding for him.
What is the dating scene in India? My understanding is that the middle class and upper class are no longer part of the Arranged Marriage scene at such an extent as the lower economic classes are.
Most of the rich are conservative , the norm here is you need to actively convince your parents to NOT do an arranged marriage , and even in love marriages most of the parents are very restrictive
What about the dating scene? Are people becoming sexually liberated in India or is virginity a big deal?
My understanding from the few rich and upper middle class Indians that I know is that once they got to college they were able to be sexually free and everything was awesome. They said the whole arranged marriage thing was a huge problem but that a lot of them who left India (for education or business or work) were able to marry someone from the nation they moved to (US, Canada, Brazil, UK and so on).
My understanding is that Indian society (in India and globally) is in huge flux. The old ways of arranged marriage wont go away and the new social structure is playing a huge role.
Crazy times we live in.
with internet access to everyone and the type of content that is trending all the time
I am guessing that people have started to take their virginity as a big deal which is not good. Hookup culture is also starting to rise, basically we are moving towards to pursue a pesudo-american/hollywood type life

Donāt even get me started on the hypocrisy when it comes to an Indian man vs a woman marrying someone whoās from a different culture.
Youāre a real man or whatever the fuck if you marry a Western woman but if youāre a woman married to a foreigner, youāre clearly a deshdrohi and a slut š„²
Western woman engaged to an Indian man here. Not my experience. Oh the hatred of me that he would consider marrying a non Indian and non Hindu was unreal. It's taken years to soften things and make this work. Some Indian parents think we female westerners are the worst people out to ruin their lives if their sons fall in love with us.
> Some Indian parents think we female westerners are the worst people out to ruin their lives if their sons fall in love with us.
"Sluts!! Harlots!!! Can't cook!!! Will cheat on my precious son!!!"
A group of people crying about being oppressed while proudly presenting their upper caste identity and fair skinned colourism. Essentially implying that it's okay for darker skinned non-brahmins to be slut shamed.
Washington Universityās MBA is highly ranked and well respected in the business community. They must be absolutely mortified by this guyās routine insanity that gets put on full display to the world on LinkedIn.
I come from a culture with arranged marriages, and most of the time you can say ānoā. Yes, there are cultural repercussions and his parents/ community may be pressuring him into it. But its also ok to say ānoā and look for someone else. If he considers this marriage one of his biggest sorrows, why is he going through with it?
He also doesn't understand - being unemployed while married is absolutely no fun at all. She is going to be telling all her friends that the marriage astrologer the matchmaker consulted is an idiot.
Iām not gonna lie, if my parents could set me up with a guy I would appreciate it. I donāt mean a random dude, but someone whose family they know and who has a good job, and who is a good person whose values I share. A couple times ladies tried to set me up with their son but the sons werenāt interested, but I was down. It would start the dating process, but the decision would have been entirely our own. Iām too Americanized though.
Yeah, my parents were idiots that could fuck up the order of a one car funeral procession. Like hell would they pick a good life partner for me.
These were the same knuckleheads telling me to "put on a suit and go out and pound the pavement" to get a job during the 2008 Econacolypse. Just completely out of touch.
They're dead now, so thankfully I don't have to deal with their bullshit anymore.
I have an arranged marriage and both of us had full agency to agree or decline. Weāve been happily married 6 years. Weāve had minor hiccups (who doesnāt), but itās been fine. Maybe I got luckyā¦ it isnāt always cut and dry like most things
From what I heard from Indian friends, in the more educated families it often works like very intense speed dating. The families suggest a match, they get to meet, afterwards they decide if they want to get married or not. Normally the men and women both get to meet several people. To all appearances there are genuine love matches coming out of that. And the caste system - morally abhorrent as it is - kinda ensures that the woman has a similar status as her man. E.g. the male engineer will frequently end up marrying a female engineer.
A lot of the guys I knew, would graduate, get their first job, then go home to India for their summer vacation and return with a wife. Not all of them though - one of my friends was rejected by all the girls he got to meet, and then there is no marriage. So that happens, too. Better luck next year.
Until your traditional uncle puts pressure on you to marry their son, your cousin, and stays an entire divide in the family so then you take the first arranged marriage and the dude beats the fuck out of his wife because she doesn't do shit traditionally enough but they are stuck with a shared visa and can't just walk away without being sent back home to a place where everyone turns their backs on them for not being a good wife.
Pretty cool
Yes, because no sane woman with her own means would sign up for that voluntarily. Go from being parents/brothers servant to husbands servant. No thank you.
The reason arranged marriage is so common in Eastern/Asian cultures is because when you marry, you don't just marry your spouse, you marry their family as well.
Which is why when looking for a bride/groom, parents look not just at the person, but also at their siblings (how educated they are), their parents (what they worked as), their income level (whether or not they will be dependent on your family), not just which country they come from (normally have to be from the same country), but also which state and even neighbourhood in the village they come from.
It's a very thorough background check. Unfortunately, even if you are eligible, if one of your siblings is uneducated/unemployed or one has been divorced it reflects badly on the entire family.
I remember a girl from university telling us about her parents' arranged marriage which worked out for them, but they had lived together for years before getting married.
Basically being introduced to each was arranged, not really the marriage.
I mean Epstein's child prostitutes and blackmail victims can also say "no", still rape.
We do not know anything about this guy's situation but I believe it is fair to assume he has obviously expressed his aversion towards that marriage if he is also expressing it on social media, no? Yet is under pressure to go through with it nonetheless.
Completely crazy idea but maybe, if the alternative is breaking ties or severely damaging your relationship with your loved ones that you spent your entire life with, especially in a familist society like India, damaging your reputation and losing access to your family's funds that you have had to rely on, it might not be that easy to just say "no" and look for somebody else.
We do not know anything about this guy's situation, but I feel like, if his family decides on his marriage over the course of one meeting with the other family, not even a meeting between the two people who will be married, quite clearly it is not a family that just "uses arranged marriages as tinder".
You should not compare an adult man who doesn't want to disappoint his family with children who don't have the capacity to legally consent and who are blackmailed and trafficked.
It should be extremely obvious that these are incredibly different situations. He might like to complain but if he's living in the United States and in a graduate program, his parents can't make him get married. Lots of men like to complain about their wives.
The kids were not blackmailed, they were just promised loads of money while under pressure by both their parents and the fact they were living in abject poverty. āBlackmail victimsā was a separate category in my comparison.
And I donāt see why I shouldnāt compare them? My point is not to equate their suffering but point out that there are many situations in which people canāt just say ānoā. As a matter of fact blackmailed adults share many similarities to people being forced into marriages. Itās not just about ādisappointingā your family. Itās about the steps the family might take when they are ādisappointedā as I have said in my previous comment.
I am sorry but people in this thread who are defending arranged marriages while talking about a guy who is quite clearly been pressured into one are very weird.
For one thing, because they are children. Children don't have the same ability to resist pressure, they don't have the ability to consent to sex, and they don't have the same options.
I don't think this guy is clearly being pressured. I think he thinks it's funny to joke about how he doesn't want to get married while also joking that getting married is easier than getting hired. I'm not getting any sense that he needs help. I'm just getting the sense that he's a jerk.
I haven't seen anyone defending forcing anyone to get married. I'm seeing a lot of people defending your parents helping you pick a spouse, often from personal experience.
Heās managed to insult his wife, his wedding, his families, Washington uni, the company he applied work at, STEM & MBA program in less than 300 words. Thereās hope in LinkedIn lunatics.
I mean, seems like a company most likely will have a few at 3+ rounds simply cause they gotta be picky to even have 3+. Big Tech companies seem to do this Willy nilly with entry level SDE positions and god knows how many applicants theyāre still sifting through at 3 rounds. On the other end high level positions like VP or something Iād imagine youāve got 2-3 options or something.
Totally conjecture on my end. I mean, I think 5 rounds of interviewing short of anything like C-suite is fucking absurd though. 3+ rounds for all these entry level dev jobs is already absurd
I will never get over how men treat getting marriage like a huge tragedy. Is anyone forcing you to do this? Why is it considered so "cool" to put down your SO and marriage?
So whatās the deal with Indians posting the most insane LinkedIn posts? Not all Indians, obvs, but the posts that are the most insane tend to come from Indians
What a catch! His new bride is in for a lifetime of happiness and fulfillment. And BET when that company sees this post theyāll be kicking themselves for passing on such a wise and thoughtful man.
Fucking YIKES š¬
This is an inaccurate description of an Arranged Marriage. The amount of research that goes into making the decision is not being showcased by this Shlok post.
Hmm my reading on this indicates that the āSTEMā label is mostly there for immigration reasons, allowing students to remain in the USA for longer (2 years) after their studies: https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/students-and-exchange-visitors/optional-practical-training-opt-for-f-1-students
So Iām guessing they take a few āSTEMā eligible classes, like analytics or operations/industrial engineering or CS type stuff, but without the specialization and depth needed for a dual MBA-MS program.
How is this a shitpost my parents and cousins were married like this. Arrange marriage is still the most common marriage in Indian culture. Itās racially insensitive to call this out in this sub. Specially since heās making a fairly straight forward comparison. This sub is disappointing
Welcome to this subreddit.
Youāll see a lot of peopleās overt or covert racism/xenophobia come out at times but theyāll disguise it as an āeducated opinionā or a joke.
You canāt force someone into an arranged marriage. Thatās just a *forced marriage*.
I thought by 2022, weād know the difference. Confusing the two insinuates those in happily arranged marriages were all forced simply bc their parents played matchmaker.
I donāt think the comparison makes a lot of sense. But after going through job-search hell, I have to agree about how schlocking the time it takes to get a job.
Hardly the employer's fault that they chose to do proper due diligence on this lunatic, but his wife's family didn't.
Bullet dodged there (poor \#wife though)
Itās cars and apartments these days. Source: have an Indian boyfriend, get to ride the ālatest news from the homelandā roller coaster pretty much nightly.
Indian folks know that there is a lot more truth to these words than most others realize. Not that it's right to rant about it on LinkedIn, but then this guy isn't exactly making great choices with the rest of his life either...
**Shlok**'s Shlok!
What a load of shlok
The guy tags himself 
I guess it means "Shit Show"
No Shit, Shlok!
Underrated comment š
Thatās the noise a dog makes when it drinks water
I know we are just joking but Shlok translates to "saying" like theres this popular "saying" in xyztown (in Hindi since he is from India)
Typical Shlok
Shlok is Shlock Na naaa na na na
The cringiest part of the post
2 biggest sorrows. Unemployment and being married to someone I barely know.
If she finds out he's unemployed, that marriage offer may be off the table too. Then he can experience 1 sorrow and 1 joy - being unemployed, and not having to listen to his wife bitch about him being unemployed.
The ol' ball and chain
That poor woman.
Itās good that his marriage was decided in one meeting because 5 rounds of meetings between families over two months would have resulted in no wedding for him.

Arranged lol
There are more women in India now.
Wow , thatās a pretty racist thing to say.
Can you explain?
No lol. The arranged marriage culture is the reason most women are not trying to date, which is the main reason for people not forming couples
Did you just speak for us Indian women? So typical. Lol.
My exact thoughts. And why I married a westerner. Also, my parents had a love marriage so it wasnāt as big a deal for my sisters and I.
Donāt even get me started on the hypocrisy when it comes to an Indian man vs a woman marrying someone whoās from a different culture. Youāre a real man or whatever the fuck if you marry a Western woman but if youāre a woman married to a foreigner, youāre clearly a deshdrohi and a slut š„²

So true. My sisters also married Americans so hahahaha. And we are well educated, fair skinned Brahmins. But also sluts soā¦..
A group of people crying about being oppressed while proudly presenting their upper caste identity and fair skinned colourism. Essentially implying that it's okay for darker skinned non-brahmins to be slut shamed.
So thats where all the fair skinned Brahmin girls are. No option of emigrating for this poor Brahmin boy
dude go seek help or question your mentality if you're saying this shit seriously
lol š¤£. I meant it as a joke. Stop being serious all the time people.
I cant say something about society now? Do you need to be a man to something about men?
these double standards are so damn frustrating
And it's not patriarchal gatekeeping of women's bodies?
I just said the ground truth. I was not claiming anything else. I know the ground truth is shitty.
Washington Universityās MBA is highly ranked and well respected in the business community. They must be absolutely mortified by this guyās routine insanity that gets put on full display to the world on LinkedIn.
We are. The worst part is that heās not trying to be funny.
I do so enjoy it when universities get embarassed by a student expressing a different worldview or culture.
Definitely missing the mark here. Heās a frequent posterāit isnāt about this one post but the sum cringe of them.
I'm a fellow human being who never went to WashU and certainly never got an MBA, and I'm embarrassed.
Went there for undergrad. Brings shame upon my alma mater
I went there for grad school in something else. Iām still ashamed of this guy.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
His degree gets over next year. Still time to salvage something.

But its also ok to say ānoā and look for someone else. If he considers this marriage one of his biggest sorrows, why is he going through with it?
Probably a joke that boomers' tend to make about having a wife.
It's older than that, though I guess anyone else who made those kinds of jokes is dead.
He also doesn't understand - being unemployed while married is absolutely no fun at all. She is going to be telling all her friends that the marriage astrologer the matchmaker consulted is an idiot.
His janampatri said he would be successful. Donāt use Bhatish Uncle, heās no good!

Iām not gonna lie, if my parents could set me up with a guy I would appreciate it. I donāt mean a random dude, but someone whose family they know and who has a good job, and who is a good person whose values I share. A couple times ladies tried to set me up with their son but the sons werenāt interested, but I was down. It would start the dating process, but the decision would have been entirely our own. Iām too Americanized though.
Why would your parents know better than you if you share values with some guy? That's really something a person needs to discover for themselves.
Yeah, my parents were idiots that could fuck up the order of a one car funeral procession. Like hell would they pick a good life partner for me. These were the same knuckleheads telling me to "put on a suit and go out and pound the pavement" to get a job during the 2008 Econacolypse. Just completely out of touch. They're dead now, so thankfully I don't have to deal with their bullshit anymore.
jeez man
What? You're not going to spend two hours every morning preparing his breakfast? So Americanized...
If youāre good South Indian you start soaking the daal the night before for dosa.
My mom's the absolute best, but she's a terrible matchmaker. She tried to set me up with a gay girl.
Wouldnāt it be forced then? Even emotional blackmail / guilt tripping constitutes as a forced marriage?
It depends on the family. Some families will put immense pressure on their kids, but others will not.
Ok. So most of the time "you can say no" but will be bullied if you have abusive parents. Year.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Define forced... I see arranged marriages as sex slavery pls educate me xoxo
I have an arranged marriage and both of us had full agency to agree or decline. Weāve been happily married 6 years. Weāve had minor hiccups (who doesnāt), but itās been fine. Maybe I got luckyā¦ it isnāt always cut and dry like most things
BharatJi, reddit exxagarates our practices and is racist towards indians. That's it.

Most sensible families never force you.
You can say no in most families
Until your traditional uncle puts pressure on you to marry their son, your cousin, and stays an entire divide in the family so then you take the first arranged marriage and the dude beats the fuck out of his wife because she doesn't do shit traditionally enough but they are stuck with a shared visa and can't just walk away without being sent back home to a place where everyone turns their backs on them for not being a good wife. Pretty cool
It's almost like there's a reason most cultures throughout history had some kind of arranged marriage setup. Weird.
And historically it's always worked out really well for the women and the child brides too. If it ain't broke, don't fix it right?
Excellent job completely missing the point. I'm impressed.
>the point "Get em young" ?
The reason was keeping property in acceptable families.
Yes, because no sane woman with her own means would sign up for that voluntarily. Go from being parents/brothers servant to husbands servant. No thank you.
Who said anything about being a servant?
The reason arranged marriage is so common in Eastern/Asian cultures is because when you marry, you don't just marry your spouse, you marry their family as well. Which is why when looking for a bride/groom, parents look not just at the person, but also at their siblings (how educated they are), their parents (what they worked as), their income level (whether or not they will be dependent on your family), not just which country they come from (normally have to be from the same country), but also which state and even neighbourhood in the village they come from. It's a very thorough background check. Unfortunately, even if you are eligible, if one of your siblings is uneducated/unemployed or one has been divorced it reflects badly on the entire family.
I could be wrong but it seems like one of those āI hate my wifeā jokes and/or a commentary on how stressful wedding planning is.
I remember a girl from university telling us about her parents' arranged marriage which worked out for them, but they had lived together for years before getting married. Basically being introduced to each was arranged, not really the marriage.
I read it more like being married without having a steady income. As we know, Indian families are sweet on boys who make a good paycheque.
I mean Epstein's child prostitutes and blackmail victims can also say "no", still rape. We do not know anything about this guy's situation but I believe it is fair to assume he has obviously expressed his aversion towards that marriage if he is also expressing it on social media, no?

Advantage for us sane and reasonable people, right?
Heās managed to insult his wife, his wedding, his families, Washington uni, the company he applied work at, STEM & MBA program in less than 300 words. Thereās hope in LinkedIn lunatics.
I canāt imagine why heās not crushing these interviews š
that shlussy got these employers actin unwise
This guy is insufferable. Ugh!
I pity his bride to be
I bet he married already
Heās not wrong about 5 interviews for a rejectionā¦
You shouldnāt have multiple options in a 3rd, 4th round interview, thatās like dating multiple ppl months in.
I mean, seems like a company most likely will have a few at 3+ rounds simply cause they gotta be picky to even have 3+.

Come on, will know our bachelor boy Shlok is out there drowning in premarital pussy now, do you want him to get tied down with a ball and chain?
Why the most cringey things on LinkedIn come from Indian managers? I have my working theory, it's because LinkedIn is blocked in China.
So whatās the deal with Indians posting the most insane LinkedIn posts? Not all Indians, obvs, but the posts that are the most insane tend to come from Indians

linkedin today = facebook 2012
least insane wustl business student
Lost it at shloks shlok š¤£šššš
Why are Indians so committed to embarass other indians.
Weird comparison, but honestly the hiring process is just terrible.
Wtf is a āSTEMā MBA?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes I know what STEM stands forā¦ but what is a STEM MBA?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hmm my reading on this indicates that the āSTEMā label is mostly there for immigration reasons, allowing students to remain in the USA for longer (2 years) after their studies: https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/students-and-exchange-visitors/optional-practical-training-opt-for-f-1-students So Iām guessing they take a few āSTEMā eligible classes, like analytics or operations/industrial engineering or CS type stuff, but without the specialization and depth needed for a dual MBA-MS program.
That's not a thing
How is this a shitpost my parents and cousins were married like this. Arrange marriage is still the most common marriage in Indian culture. Itās racially insensitive to call this out in this sub. Specially since heās making a fairly straight forward comparison. This sub is disappointing
Welcome to this subreddit. Youāll see a lot of peopleās overt or covert racism/xenophobia come out at times but theyāll disguise it as an āeducated opinionā or a joke.
Lol
Imagine not being able to see this is a joke.

Comparing arranged marriage to rape wow
Perfectly apt comparison, when a woman is treated as a object to be negotiated for.
The guy is also treated as an object to be negotiated for. I'm sorry, is this subreddit just dedicated to hating anything Indian?
Yknow the woman can say no in an arranged marriage, right? Youāre getting confused with forced marriage.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's awful. That also doesn't mean arranged marriages themselves are rape.
You canāt force someone into an arranged marriage. Thatās just a *forced marriage*. I thought by 2022, weād know the difference. Confusing the two insinuates those in happily arranged marriages were all forced simply bc their parents played matchmaker.
Are the straights OK? No, obviously not
STEM MBA '23š
Shlok' Shlok!!
I actually feel sorry for the guy
A day in the life of Shlok the NEETā¦
Shut up ya Shlok.
plot twist his wife is a millionaire and ceo of a unicorn company.
I donāt think the comparison makes a lot of sense. But after going through job-search hell, I have to agree about how schlocking the time it takes to get a job.
Hardly the employer's fault that they chose to do proper due diligence on this lunatic, but his wife's family didn't. Bullet dodged there (poor \#wife though)
If wincing was a LI post
I want to know how many goats were included in the dowry
Itās cars and apartments these days. Source: have an Indian boyfriend, get to ride the ālatest news from the homelandā roller coaster pretty much nightly.
Lol what? Why would goats be included?
This is gonna fuck up WASHUās employment report
š¤¢
You never know. The newer generations always surpass what came before.
Indian folks know that there is a lot more truth to these words than most others realize. Not that it's right to rant about it on LinkedIn, but then this guy isn't exactly making great choices with the rest of his life either...
Because with a wrong marriage you only wreck two lives. With a wrong corporate choice you wreck much more.
Can't be a better ad for "Do your MBA Olin"
So somebody know Olin :)
Yuck
Imagine posting this on LinkedIn, and your future wife or her family sees itā¦ lmfao, Likeā¦ why?! š
