So your parents want to choose and you accept.
So why are they not ok with you choosing and they accepting?
I reckon then latter is the usual one in 'upper'-class white families, as the parents have a big say as well. I mean it is quite obvious that I want a girl that my parents would accept as well.
In the second option your parents would still be the decicion makers, but they wouldn't need to search for the right chick. Win for you and win for your parents.
They say that it's MUCH more compatible. But I admit my mum is quite biased because she wants someone with whom she can relate in Sinhala (her English is not great). However, I see her (and my sister's) point in that it is less risky. Whilst inter-racial relationships may work, a culture clash, especially where one or both cultures entrench contradicting beliefs and values, is quite likely and is hard to weather I imagine.
Shouldn't you know from Med that the idea of cross-species genetics would make your child even more awesome than you (if even possible). You should actually try using that point once :p
It's shameful for me as a guy too.. I just don't like the idea of having more than one girlfriend in my life.. Neither do I want to have a girlfriend with a previous relationship either.
How should be multiple
relationships be shameful? I mean if you'd say one-night-stands, I'd understand you, but how can you find the right one without trying?
And on a
very different point. Let's say you meet a girl and she is the one, wouldn't you want to rock her world?
my mum thinks that getting 40 is not that hard
I don't judge your mom on this point. As you stated Lankan parents lie about their children's scores and you got freakin 6 scaled 50s. When then thinks that you should have a girl whose scores are above 40 I kinda understand her in a way, that she wants her to be kinda on your level.
I mean for partying ok, but for anything beyond that I don't really like interacting with people, which I am significantly smarter than (trust me I tried to make it sound less cocky) or those who don't care about school.
I can't speak Sinhala. Or understand it.
Didn't you speak in Sinhala to your mum at the tute? Or do you like put on a thick accent when you speak to her?
In essence, I guess I am, and many others are as well, quite heavily influenced and shaped by the upbringing of their parents, which most certainly entails that girls I date, [and I reckon it was with your girl as well], will be for sure girls my parents would accept as well.
