Nepali kanchhi, I appreciate your posting, however i can not agree with that most of nepali guys have such mentality like dominate his partner or he should be more smart then his partner. sometimes i wonder that it might be only opinion from girls, who still thinks that they have changed a lot and became very liberal while all the guys stays same. the whole world is changing so the mentality guys is. i dont think the youth of nepal think what our parents used to think in this matter. everybody wants to marry a girl/guy with good education and if possible want a guy or girl with good career as well. the world is becomign more and more compitative and they know it will be lot easier to survive if both are educated and can work. i am not saying here to go and marry a guy with no or very less education. what i was trying to say is if someone has undergrad degree here, can she go and marry a guy with similar degree. i dont think usa educated students are more smart then nepali educated students. given the opportunity, anyone can be smart. i did my undergrad in nepal and grad school in usa, and i know what we learn nepal and how competitive we are here. about arrange marriage, you are right. it is really hard to get married with someone who you do not know for long time. but i guess, our new type of arrange marriage is not like our old days. it is not like guy and a girl never meet before marriage. they do meet, talk to each oter and spend sometime as well. i agree that they will not get enough time here. its not like we only get to know by looking at pictures.
