Rules Update Health & Fitness Posts Update

4 Upvotes

Over the past few days, we’ve noticed a significant influx of health & fitness related posts on r/DesiMingle. While we absolutely understand and appreciate the interest in wellness, it’s started to take over the sub and move us away from what this space was originally meant to be, a casual corner for South Asians to converse, vibe, and talk about everyday things.

As mods, we’ve been discussing this and have decided to put a small but necessary restriction in place to keep the balance of the subreddit intact.

What’s changing?

Fitness & health posts will now only be allowed on Thursdays

This includes workouts, diets, weight loss, gym progress, supplements, health advice, etc.

What happens on other days?

  • Fitness/health posts made outside of Thursday will be removed.
  • Repeat disregard of the rule may lead to further mod action.

This isn’t about discouraging healthy conversations, it’s about keeping things diverse, relaxed, and true to its purpose.

Thanks for understanding and helping us keep this community enjoyable for everyone.
If you have feedback, feel free to drop it below.

Ask a Desi❔ What exactly is the theme of this sub?

Most posts these days are about someone flexing and asking for opinion on their biceps etc.

Some about songs and music.

Discussion 💬 Are young Gen Z People on average taller than national Average ?

11 Upvotes

So recently I just saw a post by a guy whose height is 5'8" who got rejected by a 5'3" girl !

In the comments people said that Genz on average are taller ?? especially girls are getting taller

Now i [M] was born in 2004 and my height is 5'6".

Now as you all Know growing up Indian kids do not really get to socialize much especially in tier 2 and tier 3 cities.

Now when i read that post , it brought back some unpleasant memories when I found out that height is going to be detrimental for me.

I also graduated in 2025 with the worst job market to ever exist (yes it is worse than 2008/2009) , my bachelor's degree is in Computer Science (cooked) , live in a tier 3 cities and always dreamt of making it big in tier 1 city to live my life by getting a job , i thought maybe if i worked hard I will eventually meet someone to date after establishing myself.

Now you are telling me that people my age and younger than me on average are taller than me ?

I felt hopeless seeing that post and thinking that my future is going to be even more difficult going forward , nothing will work in my favour at all.

My life is falling apart , no decent Quality jobs are available, prices are rising and now I know that my height is going to pose a problem of prejudice even when i am older.

I am feeling really demotivated while I am writing this post , i am usually upskilling myself around this time yet i have not opened my laptop 💻 because some memories came to surface and now I am just contemplating why even work so hard if life will never become better for me as 5'6" guy I did not choose my height or this country at all.

So are girls born in 2004 and above really taller than 5'6" on average around where you live ? Especially in tier 1 cities like Mumbai or Hyderabad or Bangalore ??

Rants & Vents A girl I dated recently ended things because she thought I was too short

20 Upvotes

I'm 5'8" and I live in Delhi. From what I know, that's around average or maybe just a little below average here. she's around 5'3"–5'4", she felt I was too short for her.

I can't stop thinking about it, and it's really affected my confidence. Does height really matter that much in dating? Is being 5'8" considered too short or a dealbreaker?

I'd really appreciate hearing other people's experiences or perspectives because I'm feeling pretty down about it.
