I had to create a throwaway and express my views. So I'm from India and the situation here is worse than you'd think. Men are literally told to fuck off when it comes to applying for colleges/jobs. Reservation for girls have been introduced almost everywhere. If you're a girl, you are almost guaranteed a near perfect life if you're even below average in talent..

Don't even get me started on the dating scene, it's a shit riddled anal wasteland. Y'all know how thirsty Indian simps can be on social media (they're 100x worse in real life). Hence even the -10/10 feel like they're a part of royalty.

Arranged marriage is still a big thing here where parents arrange a mate for their children. You would not believe the level of entitlement of the girls' parents. They literally expect the groom to have graduated from top notch schools and earn a fortune so that their daughter that resembles a slightly over inflated balloon can have "the best life". I know parents of girls that literally insult the groom and his family on their face when they're not satisfied. Arranged marriage is basically gold digging approved and highly encouraged by the society.

I've had my share of relationships and the girl got "bored" of me each time. I have finally decided to go my own way but I don't think it would last long. My parents are gonna force my ass into an arranged marriage. I have graduated from a tier 1 Indian college and am earning quite decent. I don't think I can evade them for long, but will soon figure a way out.

The one small advantage of arranged marriage is, since it's highly intertwined with the family and society, divorce rarely happens. Couples stay together however miserable they are.

I just needed to vent I guess, I have never ever found people with the same views as me in real life. I got told off a couple times and have since stopped sharing my views. I would have never in my wildest dreams though that going your own way was a movement among men.

Thanks a lot guys, you are the few amazing people humanity has left. I'm thankful to reddit for having quarantined this amazing place without which I'd have never found y'all.

Peace gentlemen
