At first, I thought this was a hateful tweet but you know what. My mates have been dumped at the worst times possible by their early twenties female partners - who were actually looking for financial upward mobility in a partner. AKA SUGAR DADDY. Because @ that time their reality
- Was that their family and society had convinced them that any man who didn't have his shit together by 23 was worthless. No one has financial independence by their mid-twenties in this country. So to start a tinder date on "when will you send your parents over is murder." Or
Will I have to work the kitchen and clean the house? when I'm married fantasy is so toxic that I blame the rishta culture for this comparison heavy matchmaking and ideal husband crap. The premise on which we marry each other according to our "barras" is money that means security.
Look what it got them. SIGH
We attack the late twenties with missing an early marriage train - forever lost at sea becoz no one will want them after 26. Women learn what relationships are during college - life is literally the canteen, bfs borrowed Mehran, group presentations & mobile credit top-ups.
Boyfriends with Father's car, credit card & a "lifestyle" that they would like to join was criteria for marriage. THIS IS NORMALISED not because they are gold diggers. This the toxic conditioning of our Pakistani society that they can't earn that themselves and must marry rich.
