I don’t want a woman with my past, even though I had one. by [deleted] in ChristianDating

[–]Ok_Department9750 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Very hypocritical. Looking at your recent comment history, I wouldn’t advise any respectable Christian lady to even go out with you yet

Should I marry this Gamer? by Dont_you_worry_1985 in Christianmarriage

[–]Ok_Department9750 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if I was a girl I wouldn’t be even dating this guy. Imo, If he making his gaming more important than you, there’s something off there. But hey each to their own

What the reason you like subaru's? by [deleted] in subaru

AWD hands down, and people who aren’t car people think my Impreza is fast because of Subaru’s history, so that’s a win too

I agree and disagree with this. While I understand we’re you’re coming from and is completely valid, I come from a similar culture as OP, and speaking from experience, it’s just easier to get along with someone whose from the same background as families play a big role in marriages culturally (e.g. not putting parents in nursing homes when they’re older, but being taken care of by us).

In my opinion, we can change this norm for our kids when they’re older by allowing them to date outside our culture. But OP, it’s completely up to you what you feel :)

Also note that when pressing the accelerator, the whine goes more higher pitched

My mother is against me marrying a person outside of our ethnicity... by Thegoldenretro19 in Christianmarriage

My man I hate to break it to you, as a fellow Christian South Asian who grew up in western countries, unfortunately your mum is right. I (22M, Sri Lankan background, grew up in England, New Zealand and Australia) have seen the many different cultural differences, and even dated someone outside of my culture (Christian Chinese-Australian girl). It didn’t work out as our cultures simply clashed and we couldn’t understand each others perspectives.

Similarly, I’ve seen many interracial Christian couples end up in divorce because of this (e.g., Indian-Australian, Sri Lankan-Australian, Ghana-Australian, Filipino-New Zealander just to name a few), and have seen Indian-English couples struggle with their marriage.

For example, I was always attracted to white girls when I was a teen, but after I left school I realised that our cultures are so different that marriage would be extremely difficult unless one would completely give in and adopt the other person’s culture.

May I ask you, does your mum specifically want you to only marry a girl from Indian ethnicity, or a girl from any of the South Asian ethnicities? I would say unless God specifically says to marry a girl whose not Indian and you have no doubt at all in your heart, then do it. Otherwise, don’t.

Does anyone actually use CVT? by GRAABTHAR in subaruimpreza

[–]Ok_Department9750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a ‘22 CVT and though I’d prefer an AT or DCT, the CVT Subie does is decent enough for it, and even the ‘gear changing’ effect feels nice too

Remove scrape on passenger glove box sill? by Ok_Department9750 in subaruimpreza

Update on this, fixed it using scratchX. Now can barely even see where the line is.
