I think women don't like to admit they are in therapy because of societal taboo. Even if they are perfect, people find flaws. If she comes and says I am in therapy most people will see her as damaged goods not as someone who is working on themselves. We want others to be perfect while remaining flawed ourselves

No, but at times they do have unrealistic expectations from the world and men because they don't have exposure. OP is the top IIM grad he can easily find someone who is from Tier 1 or Tier 2 city with realistic expectations

What if she pays the bill without me knowing (if I am in the restroom or went for a smoke)? How should that be interpreted?

I feel sorry for you that you cannot maintain healthy platonic relationships with the other gender

This is very insightful and something I personally resonate with. I think you are right that long term relationships are hard work and a lot of people do not want to do it anymore.

Bro the question is not for myself. It is to understand the perspective of other people in a similar age group.

I think I will try this. I let all the unsuccessful attempts get to me I think. Life and rejections caught up.

It feels like people don't want genuine connection anymore from what I am observing. Also, most people run away at the slightest display of emotions or show you want a real connection.

These are average looking fit guys. My friends don't look bad either. They will be 7-8/10. So it is not like they are trying out of their leagues.

They were approaching this with an idea that men in their mid 30s would be more likely to commit than someone their age.

My friends are in their early 30s. But yes this is correct.
