Seems better to just get married and deal with it if you're stuck with someone you don't like than spend years wasting time dating a bunch of people you don't like on the off chance you'll find someone you like.

blame shakespeare...

Most people want "romance" or some variation of it even if it does come at a sacrifice.

Arranged marriages are more of a business merger in relationships with little emotional investment.

Oh common now, it's more fun to date, marry, have a kid, have an affair, separate, play games with the next ******* till the divorce is final, then dump them, and repeat all over with the next victim. Oh ya, and don't forget those alimony and child support checks-

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ummm....no, that doesn't sound better at all. I don't consider my time spent dating to be "wasted". I have very much enjoyed it.

Would you really trust your parents to pick someone out for you ?

It's a known fact that parents no longer have sex or good taste once they turn 40.

I agree...through dating I've discovered and learned many new things about myself and especially food!

Why don't we have more arranged marriages?

Could it be because we have too many deranged marriages?

I've been friends with a woman since high school whose parents were born in India, and I actually I think she was also. But, she came here to the US when she was still a baby. Anyway, I remember her telling me after we graduated high school, her parents came home with a library of videos. All men they wanted her to marry. Haaaaaaaaaaaa!

She is VERY Americanized and was livid. She ended up marrying a Jewish guy, who is an exceptionally awesome guy, but her parents were not happy and threaten to disown her. Since her and her husband are both lawyers, it didn't really matter ... They were NUTS !
