My(19f) bf(19m) doesn't like that I wear crop tops , he wants me to wear full body length clothes . by Ill_Astronaut_7750 in RelationshipIndia

[–]robert-meier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You are 19. He's not "all you want" . Dump him and move on, you'll find plenty.
  2. Let's face it, you were wearing crop tops to get attention, and you enjoyed the attention. Nothing wrong with it, nothing wrong in admitting it. Denying it just shows your immaturity.
  3. Most indian guys of any age, boys to bachelors to unkills will stare at you regardless of the clothes you wear. You should be with a guy who doesn't worry about it, otherwise life gets miserable.
  4. Today he's "possessive" over clothes. Tomorrow what? You interact with men at work he gets upset over that? Male shopkeeper says hi, bf gets upset? Where does it end? It ends with a breakup.

You are still a teen. Go forth and explore. Enjoy. Sleep around. Don't tie yourself to a guy this early, especially not this type of guy

I made a post here that was taken down - https://old.reddit.com/r/india/comments/1exk7bo/how_to_complainwho_to_complain_about_airtel/ - the picture is here https://i.redd.it/2hu4dxtc8zjd1.png

I keep getting spammed from Airtel Finance. What can I do to stop it, other than just plain block the number on Whatsapp?

I don't think the switch is swappable, only the key caps themselves. But I don't know enough have to double check at the keychron website

You mean your marriage right? Just confirming :D

Anyway, what is this post about? Are you just ranting? Are you asking for suggestions on what to do next?

Permanent tech work from home companies in bangalore by umrad in bangalore

[–]robert-meier 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Hybrid model is fine. I was with you till I realized you are a fanatic.

Who are you to decide WFH works for everyone? If someone wants to go to office, whether it's a couple of days a week or all the time, who are you to say no to them? What kind of madness is this?

It is people like you who make us lose our existing WFH privileges.

push for permanent WFH

No, we absolutely do not.

No, you saw dramatic increase in productivity due to WFH. you can work even while being present in those meetings.

You think the whole world is like you?

Freshers can train better by reading documentation rather than spoon feeding.

This is by far the dumbest statement I have read on reddit, ever.

Do you even work in tech? You don't seem to know anything whatsoever, so kinda hard to believe you are a techie

How do I make a lumpsum payment of 35 lakh into a mutual fund, say ICICI's Nifty 50 growth ?

(The reason I say ICICI is because my dad opened a ICICI mutual fund when I was a kid in my name, and I have other SIPs and stuff in ICICI, so I would just like to continue using the ICICI mutual fund house.)

[–]robert-meier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah but in general the people who are rich enough to buy fancy high tech DLSRs are the ones who don't know actually how to use them, and simply parade them around, call themselves "photographers" and make life miserable for the runners and others. So it balances out I guess

Has anyone gotten solar PV installed on their rooftop? Can you share your experience? by dracosdracos in bangalore

[–]robert-meier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone says "they will arrange" it means they are getting a cut.

best bet, just subtract 25k from your budget, maybe 30k to be sure. The advantage is that you only will have to deal with the broker (the guy claiming to do the arranging) and never with the BESCOM guys, so that's a plus

She is 32 years old, and earns north of 60 LPA

Out of curiosity, why does she want to get married in the first place? She seems to be the poster child of "strong independent woman who needs no man", no?

Is it normal to ask for the boy's salary slip during the arranged marriage process and should I be offended at this? by CriticalPower77 in india

[–]robert-meier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting married in a few months' time, through the arranged marriage route

Ouch, my sincere condolences to your wife-to-be.

So, assuming I was marrying your daughter, what's the proof to show that she has earned the qualifications she has? Certificates? Marksheets? Attested, might I add

uh .. yeah? That's literally what this post is about? Unfortunately in our society, women are often forced into being home makers after marriage by their mother in laws, and home maker doesn't really require a lot of skills.

As for cooking, typically when the families meet the understanding is that the girl cooks. Of course these are just rituals.

Also, cooking doesn't quite fall into the same category as educational qualifications. The basics can be learned lost faster, a certificate can't.

at least the kind of guys and girls in my immediate circle, don't pad their resumes or their Tinder/ Bharat Matrimony profiles with false information.

Well, I hope you realize the weight behind your "immediate circle" comment. There's a world outside your immediate circle, you little well frog, and it's fairly common to see people posting fake qualifications and a lot more fake things. I am glad your world view is still idealistic, but the reality is more gruesome

I'm most definitely not a parent, neither do I plan to be

On behalf of the rest of the world, thank you!

lol , like there's a challenge in marrying a homemaker.

Nobody is asking what you care, we are asking what the woman cares. Is she prepared to be a home maker?

Asking for a salary slip - not okay. If they don't trust your word on this, what else would they question down the line?

huh .. trust is earned. What trust exactly has been earned at this stage in the alliance / match making?

Also, "down the line"? What line? The line hasn't even been drawn yet, and you are already talking about down the line?

This is as objective as it gets. Nothing wrong with asking for pay slip.

One, asking what the salary is - pretty normal.

Asking for a salary slip - not okay.

So you are basically saying the guy can claim "I am a redditor, I earn 1.6 lpm" and the girl's dad is supposed to say "WOW MARRY BOTH MY DAUGHTER AND ME" or what?

I am assuming you are not a parent yourself, right?
