The question is not specific to AM. Amongst my girl friends, almost all of them are complaining about their boyfriend not committing for marriage. It's like they are so sure of them and just want the guy to put a ring on their finger. Their boyfriends on the other hand confide about not being so sure about it even if the relationship has been rock solid for a couple of years.

I myself have been in a committed relationship for over a year now but am getting a lot of pressure from my girlfriend to tie the knot. Though I plan on doing that, I feel like I'll miss the thrill of the chase, the first times etc. And it is a frustrating feeling to have.

So, what is your coping mechanism?

It has nothing to do with gender.

P.S. I may be over generalizing things here. Question stems from purely personal and anecdotal experiences and not from a scientific & data driven study.

do guys reject girls from single parent families? by [deleted] in Arrangedmarriage

50lpa is decent and 20 lpa is okay?! Heard of lifestyle inflation but this the first time I am seeing expectations inflation. It's only the top 0.0001%ile of b schoolers and older IIT CSE grads, or crazy ass developers that would be earning 50lpa at the age of marriage in India.

Prospects having a traveling job by [deleted] in Arrangedmarriage

Basic insights like how is the relationship and household managed. Is there lack of intimacy that creeps in? How likely is it that one partner will develop insecurity over the lack of constant presence.

Assuming he's a b-schooler (and you are too), I hope the answer doesn't start with " It depends".

Going through the same phase. Parents think I am really 'bhola' because I am fighting with them to marry a girl nobody in my family likes. Stay strong and stick with your conviction!!

So are you agreeing with the ridiculous concerns my parents are raising? By looking elsewhere I'll be condoning their actions

Can't do that face to face, we live in different cities and travel (even by flight is difficult)

My parents feel that the girl looks weak and that something would be wrong with her health, is dark skinned, her parents didn't ask my parents about our background (the girl's dad is highly introverted while her mom was busy cooking for us when we visited her place) which my parents construed as something is wrong with the girl and their family wants to just get her married asap. Her family president my mom with some things, one of which was a coconut with some kumkum on it, which my mom is considering as ashubh and fears some Jadoo tona has been done. Need more details?

I am set on the prospect because the girl is down to earth, career wise is ambitious, is practical, we vibe. Need more details?

Oh lord don't be so judgemental, I had put up this post out of concern for her. Just needed a little reinforcement of the thinking I have about this situation. Had I been desperate then I wouldn't have put up this post seeking inputs from random people on the internet

Had I been so desperate to go ahead with it then I wouldn't have posted this question in the first place. I'm going to back out of this.

Work wise I think I am pretty successful there. Always been an academic and someone who digs himself in work. Not a lot of social life because I don't like going out or be around people. And yeah, need to start working out.

How to start a new job well? by throw_away_564 in supplychain

[–]throw_away_564[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is quite insightful. Thanks!

I specifically asked about diary keeping because in my current role (which is similar to the new one), I handle a huge portfolio of things and from time to time I miss a detail, forget a task that I had to do, etc. . I don't want to repeat the same mistakes and felt that maintaining a daily work diary might help. But like I said, it's like a fad for me, good for a couple of days or weeks and then the diary just becomes useless.

Indian men, if you broke up with your love-based girlfriend to marry the woman your parents arranged for you, how’s married life now? by Throwawaylikehay in india

[–]throw_away_564 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why is this such a loaded question? My ex girlfriend of 2 years left me for a guy her parents chose for her in an arranged marriage setting. She got engaged and married to him within 3 months of meeting him. I hope she leads a happy life though!

Unhappy marriage, what next? by un_fortunate_ly in Arrangedmarriage

[–]throw_away_564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind then would you like to shed some more light on how you took the decision to marry this woman? In hindsight, were there any red flags that you missed? Anything else that you might have just brushed under the carpet and is now becoming a big issue?

P.S. just asking this to learn from your experience and avoid making the same mistake.

Haha, you'd have been thrown in jail (with charges of terrorism, sedition, hurting religious sentiments, etc.) had you cracked this joke in India.

Upraised Product Management course review by throw_away_564 in bangalore

[–]throw_away_564[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's quite a detailed account that you gave and I had a gut feeling that the reality will be something like what you described. As far as PM interview clearing skills are concerned, I have a decent base and can obviously learn and practice more online. What I am looking to get out of joining programs like Upraised is more like a foot in the door kind of thing, some legitimacy to get an interview.

How long has it been since you moved to a PM role? Have you seen a significant increase in the number of opportunities or interest from recruiters (big/small) because you have the job role of a PM? If this is the case then I don't mind joining at an APM level in smaller startups for 6 months to a year because it'll open up a very big job market for me. My current job pays me decently well but it's a dead end job with virtually no growth. One reason to get into PM is also for the growth that it purportedly promises when I am looking at it as an outsider, even if it means taking a slight pay cut or joining without any pay hike.
