1. It is extremely difficult to even find people who: - Eat healthy - Have a life outside of work - Are ambitious - Are honest and not egoistic (Genuinely people have become robotic)

2. If you find such people, the next hurdle is hookup culture. By 25, many have 25+ body counts, and some have even forgotten what emotional attachment feels like. The even sad part is- They look it as “Normal”

3. Let’s be optimistic, even if you find someone emotionally available, the real discussions begin: moral values, views on responsibilities, spiritual alignment, and clarity of future.

4. Even if you find someone who’s good in all the areas above, in India new issues kick in when it comes to marriage- family compatibility, societal norms, and more.

I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to find people who are honest, clear, growth-oriented, strong-minded, creative, health-focused, and emotionally mature.

Btw, this is the case on Dating apps In arrange setup, everyone is PERFECT

@rishikagupta__ This! Thankyouuu for writing it, RISHIKA!

@whysaloni someone had to🥹

@rishikagupta__ You have Dating Culture experience & in my books you are an used product so you are attracting what you are.

@aham_yogini didn’t get this Which product are we talking about?

@rishikagupta__ Stay single, stay happy! Easy 😂 I know after a point of time you get society and family pressure but then it should be solely your decision. It's always better than being in a relationship where you don't feel anything genuinely.

@Saloni_Saxena_ ofc, isliye single h😌😂

@rishikagupta__ I think you forgot to mention the most common culture of drinking and smoking that also has spoiled this generation.

@erAkash_ that’s the first point..

@rishikagupta__ Honestly this is the real struggle these days 😅.This info says it all

@NoobSolver 🥲

@rishikagupta__ you, like many girls, are looking for an impossible set of characteristics - expecting a masculine man (whom you might find attractive) to also be have certain "moral values", "views of responsibilities" etc classic case of mismatched expectations most men who are desired are

@rishikagupta__ Because people are looking for too much perfection. No one is accepting today. Everyone wants perfect and it is causing anxiety. No one wants to grow together and accept each other with their flaws.

@rishikagupta__ I’m 25 and haven’t done anything you mentioned in the thread. I live a pretty routine life and am single no party, no dating life. Perhaps when I meet someone I truly connect with, I’ll form a strong emotional bond.

@rishikagupta__ I think that happens because everyone now has options to choose and freedom to try before settling on one thing and that where genuinity disappears. People have become less accepting and need every single box to tick which I think isn’t possible almost every time. And I do feel

@rishikagupta__ Very well written. Thank you! For both the sides: There do exist the just right ones. They may not be as shiny as social media portrays. Their standards feel high enough to be idealistic. Usually such people don't date before 25 because they have to figure out life and take

@rishikagupta__ I sort of faced similar experience. But with a lot of NO NOs and a lot of patience, the right one will be matched :)

@rishikagupta__ Arrange was so good no?

@rishikagupta__ you wont find them on dating apps though. Dating app dehumanises true connection and normalises hookup culture. Or if you are lucky, then a new joiner on apps will be the best bet (yet to be dehumanised by dating apps)

@rishikagupta__ I can understand problem.. before dating, have few calls & get to know more about the family & how often he talks with family ,what kind of things he talks. Some people show they are cool but their family people are boring... You will understand patterns.

@rishikagupta__ Leaving everything to God is the best take. He will send the right person by himself providing hints. Till then, being single is better than crying in the wrong bond. Love should mean being carefree and happy, not sad, as genuine feelings/love are considered as a joke these days

@rishikagupta__ 3plus body counts r already no Chalo 4 but 25 ? Aren’t they sacred or what

@rishikagupta__ So how much body count do you have....

@rishikagupta__ Honestly it is very difficult to find good partner even for men, I also don't have not so good experience in finding one but anyway hope you find good reliable partner in your life. 😄

@rishikagupta__ My Guy @DebadreeC is single Is emotionally available, a bit too much for his own good And has had zero body count

@rishikagupta__ In europe everyone consider it as normal. They'll start live in and marry after 35

@rishikagupta__ this generation ain't built for dating. Commitment or seriousness is rare now

@rishikagupta__ This is so well-put 👏. Dating today feels less about just finding ‘someone’ and more like passing through multiple filters — healthy lifestyle, emotional depth, values, long-term vision, and finally in India, family acceptance. The challenge is real.

@rishikagupta__ 💯 most matured and honest post! I feel like it's tough to find people who genuinely wanna connect....now most of em are looking for what can they get, not what can they give... Selfishness is rising rapidly!

@rishikagupta__ Not a long thread

@rishikagupta__ @LifeMathMoney who will tell her..
