Men of GV, do you see any upside in getting married?
I mean, i simply don’t see any upside to getting married as a guy. It’s a thing society expects you to do, without explaining why. For me, i don’t see life becoming better post marriage. Yes companionship is a good answer but does not hold up considering you don’t need to get married for that. (If you need to force someone legally to be your companion, you pretty much know what it looks like).
Put another way: What would a woman need to bring to the table for marriage to be worthwhile to you? (Talking about traditional heterosexual marriages only)
Emotional support
Could be emotional harassment too🫠, emotional support when you are lucky, o
U can’t drive a car thinking of accidents
Married for 7 years - Support 24 X 7, can share any type of problem without being judged, travel companion, Baby, taking care of eachother when sick, always checking on eachother, security
If alimony is brought under GSt and taxed at 30%, surely worth it
I’ve a list of things that I can compromise with and I also have the list of things that I can’t compromise with. So I’ve started thinking very practical when it comes to choosing a life partner. Because nothing can compensate a wrong partner in your life. I’ve preferences bro, as simple as that.
Several times I get angry when I see lot of fake cases that I’m not gonna marry and all. But deep down I know I want to love someone and want to be loved. But again I think all of these by keeping my emotions aside cuz you can make mistake.
Tum bhi apni list bana k daal do universe me. Dekho kya hota hai. 😀
Nobody steps into a relationship with zero expectations. And In marriage, you will be full of expectations. It is a transactional bond, that is all. If marriage is involved, men expect good amount of trust , a little love and a little respect.
I would love to marry one day, and it's like not everyone is same and bad, exceptions are always there but i believe in karma as well. So yeah I believe a good life partner can change your life for good and I hope of getting one.
Highly subjective and varies for every person. But if you're a man, strongly suggest to read the Bengaluru techie suicide case, before deciding to marry. You'll atleast get an eye opener on how biased our justice serving machinery is, and you can atleast choose wisely.
200% for getting married. Married for 3 years now. Late 20’s now.
I Had tons of friends but slowly people have different pressures in life, some financial some emotional and they start moving towards solving them and won’t be there for you. Whenever they are there, you can have a good time but learn to accept it’s limited and better that way.
Parents beyond an age can’t relate to you or your problems and sharing with them becomes more a burden than resolution. So to keep parents happy and yourself happy beyond a certain age it’s good to have the boundary.
Definitely my life has taken a big uptick post marriage, you have a sparring partner with whom you can talk about ideas, work, issues. You are not alone in taking decisions, there are dark days in marriage too, when you hate each other’s presence but with time you’ll learn that will be part and parcel of any relationship. When you expect someone to empathize with you, you should be okay with taking the mood swings and criticism. The pro’s are I was opened to a whole new world of food, music, travel, aesthetics and thought process. I finally started accepting the fact that you need to live life and not chase numbers which I was pre-marriage and the pressure of proving something to some random person was surmount and now post partner I don’t give two fucks.
Being alone honestly works only for a very few people and they are the ones who are laser focused with a lot of grit and not all are wired that way, I feel companionship and support is utmost essential for all sorts of success, professionally and personally.
P.S. All this boils down to the person you chose to be with and as long as there is common values, trust, love and respect everything else can be made to work.
