Before you go through the entire post, I want you to go through the deal breakers.
You must be a Bengali who is going to settle in Kolkata. I'm dead serious about this. This year a few rishtas came from Bangalore ( Bengali men who are working there) and my family immediately rejected them.
You must be older than 26. No, I won't change my mind about this.
You must confirm your identity by sharing any social media account or LinkedIn. Just so Ik that you're real and aren't here for timepass. Also don't say hi hello in DMs please. Be straightforward, say whatever else you feel is good enough.
Minimum monthly income should be 60k. Kolkata is an affordable city and I also earn so this amount should be fine. Plus I believe that as long as someone is driven they'll be successful no matter what. So I won't be super worried cause I'll choose someone who is ambitious.
You shouldn't be extremely religious cause I'm not. I don't really care about religion or God. I'm quite liberal and an orthodox man won't be able to tolerate me. I've tried beef and pork, and while I'm not a huge fan, I might try it again in the future. Only respond if you're open-minded about all these things. I'm not in the mood to argue so spare me the trouble.
You must be a cat person. Brownie points if you already have a cat. Fun fact! I turned into a cat person in college! I used to like dogs more. Then one fine afternoon a cat brushed past my leg and nuzzled up my arm. In that moment I knew, I was a changed woman. But I'm a spiritual cat lady not an actual one (Ma hates pets, she told me to get one after I'm married. I'm frustrated that she won't accept one single cat inside our home! Cats are cute!!)
Now here comes the boring part, I'm a content writer. When it comes to dating, I haven't dated anyone. Never been in a relationship. I've been proposed to before, been on one date, and had a few crushes. But maybe it's because of my sad childhood or some other traumas, I've never been able to love anyone. I've talked to green flags, red flags, and I felt nothing. People tell me to wait for love, but honestly I'm past that stage. Now arrange marriage is looming over my head.
About my looks... I've been told that I'm cute. Maybe it's because I'm 5'2. I get most compliments on my smile. People tell me to smile more (cause I have RBF, don't get scared please) I used to work out at home. But now I'm procrastinating, might start again soon.
I like watching movies, listening to podcasts, reading manga, manhwa (this hobby is currently on hold cause I'm low-key depressed after batoto got nuked) I enjoy listening to old Hindi songs a lot these days. Btw I'm BTS army (there, I dropped a massive truth bomb) AND I'm a feminist (here goes my chance of getting a man)
One thing I'll like to highlight is that I've been on dating apps. Even though I don't have any experience when it comes to relationships I know what I want, and the qualities I don't want. I've realised that the most important thing is being able to freely talk to a person.
So I'm hoping this ends well. I don't want to jump to marriage without being 100% sure. So let's talk. No drama, no facades. I probably won't be able to to respond to every single one of you but I'll try to get back to genuine people (creeps and men who don't fit the criteria will be ignored)
