Why are you polling such a random thing? I am in a relationship with an Indian right now and I am American
LOL I am a definite cocktail... Spanish, Mexican, Portuguese, Cherokee Indian, Scotch-Irish, English and German... It's what happens here in America, people come and mix, and mix some more
A better question is how student4life ended up knowing so many Indians in the United States. I only know one Indian guy (by blood and heritage, American born) and all other Indians I've only met in passing. He's a laid back Leo and has no trouble with the ladies. Actually, his trouble seems to be not knowing when to not get involved!
Regardless of race:
If you want young girls to like you, act like a self-absorbed douche-bag.
If you want women to like you, act responsible and caring.
(Depending on your age, I would definitely recommend the latter.)
I am 19, my parents crush my self esteem at times telling me girls don't wanna thing to do with an Indian unless he is rich. Thing is they are just bad people overall as I am starting to realize, they restricted me SO MUCH and now they expect me to just break out of no where.
Dioso,
I obviously do not know your parents, so I can not say definitively, but I don't think they are "bad" people. It is not easy being parent and everyone is going to have a different way of trying to raise their children to a desired outcome. I know as the child in the situation it can feel very harsh and hurtful, but I doubt that is your parents original intent. I am assuming your parents are from India originally and this is most likely the way they were brought up, so they do not know any other way than this. The Indian way is so different from the American standard that it can be very confusing for an Indian youth to try to get into the dating arena here in the US while still living under the expectations of their parents. Most Indian parents are going to want you to be an Engineer a Doctor or a Lawyer because they feel those are the only degrees that are going to get you any real amount of money and respect. Do not put so much weight on the assumptions they are pushing your way. Just try to learn how to be comfortable in your own skin and don't worry about stereotypes and judgements of others. Everything takes time and you can't expect yourself to be "Casanova" over night Give it some time, it will work out.
no one can FORCE you to marry anybody.
but they can disown you, or whatever equivalency.
i knew a euro~american gal who married an Indian man. They had two children and divorced after 10 years. My friend, Deeka, an Indian gal, has an older brother who married by family arrangement and he has been married for 30 years. I think he has a roving eye, though.
I'm unpopular in saying never to marry for love.
Marry for compatibility, humour and physical/mental health.
~ I believe indifference can turn into love just as love can turn into indifference.
Younger folks are likely to disagree.
