I& #39;ve been trying to wrap my head around arranged marriages since I& #39;m apparently heading for one (someday. Soon? Idk, idc) and these tweets all just remind me how toxic this process really is
I played it off as cool later, but this rejection hurt. They wanted a "beautiful bride" and I scoffed and wanted nothing to do with at first glance, his bio data made an impression and for the first time I actually caught myself praying for the best. https://twitter.com/cookies_98_/status/1271640861873369088?s=19">https://twitter.com/cookies_9...
I am not perfect. But I& #39;ve accepted my flaws and made it a part of me. My smile, my acne, my weight. It& #39;s what makes me...me. and I& #39;m okay with that. And when other people don& #39;t see it that way, it kills me inside. Massive blows to my self confidence.
After a couple rejections came in, my mother had the actual nerve to say maybe my pictures aren& #39;t pretty enough and we need to get some good shots. The pictures I selected of myself were 3 full body pictures where *I* think I look my absolute best at.
And for my own mother to question that, killed me. I never asked for a guy& #39;s picture. I previously approved of some bio datas just by reading them. Not by looking at their damn pictures. Why is this given such importance anyway? I don& #39;t expect a Channing Tatum doppelgänger

I ranted about it to a couple of my friends and I brushed it under the rug later on, coz that& #39;s ehehe what I do. But seeing tweets on toxic arranged marriage processes, I just have to bring this up.
It& #39;s not okay. I& #39;m not just a face. I& #39;m much more than just a face, I am kind, loving, compassionate, friendly... And I look for the same qualities in a man. I don& #39;t search for faces. I hunt for qualities.
So idk what the hell this thread is going to do. I& #39;ve never been this open in my entire life and writing this is really painful. But I hope I heal. I hope people who went through the same shit heal too. I hope I find someone who makes this fucking toxic process, worth it.
