My "best friend" (12lpa dev) just got dumped by "sanskari punjaban girl" (5lpa sales) after their 1+ year thing, just because apparently her dad found a Canada PR rich sardarji 🤮
He moved cities to blr because this girl had in office job in blr, "wasting his WFH" At the end Bro's so hurt he's preparing for foreign MBA to fetch a "high end modern partner" 🤣
When rejection happens due to financial status, people take it seriously.
Yeah it kinda shakes the self worth of guy, all this while the girl herself independently is worth lesser.
Does we even have anything else to suggest for him to better cope with, classic yaar dost response is "Bhai wo bhi gold digging r* thi"
Usually it's
If it's on a dating app first thing i'd look for is consistent texting and common sense. Not someone overly flirtatious right off the bat. It feels a bit off to me.
women would want a man of Higher social status compared with their social circle.
Social status you mean financially? @Qwerty2398
usually higher social status comes with financial security. But i mean, not just money. Just being rich will not cut it. for eg - having a green card or living abroad has better chances than earning 20 or 25L in India so on... What's higher? that's decided by their social circle.
Asides from physique standards that they might look for, they look for someone that can just listen instead of coming up with solutions when they rant. They want someone that can understand emotions and be empathetic.
I have a hard time doing this. If a girl comes to me telling me about how she can't find a job and is worried as she's on her notice period etc. I say, "Yes that happens. Apply more and meanwhile keep prepping, eventually you'll land something apart from that not much in our control". To me, this looks like a perfectly normal response. What should be done here if I follow the advice of this comment?
Real talk- they will look for a provider initially who's willing to listen to them. I think that's about it. Some might be superficial about looks if it's an arranged marriage setup, in a love marriage that too is glossed over.
That said, be prepared to be judged against an Excel sheet in an arrange marriage setup to see how many tick boxes you meet. Typical ones include salary, working abroad, not living with parents, understanding, not controlling, etc etc
@SandyDrake96 The listening is commonly coming across the thread. Is it that underrated? What's the fine line between listening and simping?
listening is simply hearing them talk without offering any comments. Simping is agreeing to whatever nonsense they say.
I think this differs woman to woman. What do you look for in a woman before you date one? It depends on that.
Women of Grapevine, what traits do you look for in a potential partner?
Trying out dating again, what are red flags I should look out for, green flags that are usually overlooked etc.

Married people or people who’ve been in long term relationships, tell me what qualities should one look for in their prospective partner? How’d you know she’s the one? What qualities should one look out for and stay away from?
