TheAlphaMale: Why do Indian women readily accept marriage, but hesitate for a relationship?
Don’t girls see a relationship as a stepping stone to marriage? Why is a typical Indian girl more likely to accept a marriage proposal than a romantic one?
I am a 22 year old Bangalorean and I’ve proposed and been rejected by a lot of girls.

Culture… I don’t know if you’re grown up in India, but the way my friend describes it, boys and girls don’t really have the western version of boyfriend/girlfriend, they’re more like best friends.
Because in the Indian culture, a high premium is placed on a girls reputation and virginity.
Indian parents teach their young girls not to keep boyfriends because they would use them for fun and sex, and it would spoil the entire family’s reputation in their community. If an Indian girl was to ”date” a guy, she would be seen as ”loose” and unfit for marriage proposals, and not only that, but her behaviour would ruin the future of her young sisters too, as Indian families from her caste would think twice about sending her family marriage proposals from their sons.
In Indian culture, it’s all about family reputation and ”honour”… burdens which are placed more on daughters than sons, which is why you see more Indian men married to foreign women than the vice versa.
