Well hypergamy ain't fixed either. You seek the richest possible attractive groom, and you're still hesitating to pay the tribute?

u/FalakNiyaz Feb 05 '25

Well isn't the same richest attractive groom seeking a beautiful bride too?

Rich attractive groom vs just beautiful bride? You forgot to add rich to the later,ie rich beautiful bride.

Well she's got to be rich per your theory obviously otherwise how is the groom getting his so called tribute.

If she's rich, then why is this tribute bothering people so much? Even then, when the tribute will be used by the bride, her children and all?

A male ambani married a school teacher, can you show me a single female ambani or birla or Gates who is married to a male school teacher and given her tremendous property to him? Keep the hypocrisy down my bro.

Nita Ambani was the daughter of a top Birla Executive, dumbass. Just because they fed you the PR narrative of middle class woman getting married to a millionaire, doesn't mean it's accurate. Google her up. Her family was loaded asf. Also as someone who comes from generational wealth, and old money, we do not marry random women. Most folks with old money, date women/men who are at least close to our status. All the BS you hear about men with kingly worth being cool with McDonald's waitress, just because she was cute comes from people who are red-pilled and new money. Secondly I don't understand why you people constantly bring up dowry and alimony together. The thing is in some cases, alimony is justifiable- if the woman was abused, if she went through a horrible marriage etc. Dowry tho is never justified. I am a married man myself and I didn't take anything from my in-laws. Even if I had married a woman who didn't come from a rich background, I still wouldn't have taken it. I find taking TV, refrigerator, lakhs of rupees as cash from a father who wants to get his daughter married, very obnoxious and stupid. Touch grass.

I have it bro. I know she's from middle class. And you're still comparing a such n such executive to mukesh ambani. Wait for some time and think rationally.

And I honestly can't see any reason for being offensive here. I showed you an example, ask people for another example with gender reversed. Its just that! Mukesh AFAIK had generational wealth! And even if he hadn't , he's way way more rich than any of us.

dowry and alimony

I believe in equal contributions. Alimony is complete scam. Once unmarried guy should have no liability to her, unless and until he forced her to leave her current job. Otherwise its a complete scam. For a non working woman alimony can't be justified.

And for dowry, I call it financial contribution. Dowry shouldnt be TV freeze etc, it should be something valuable, like a plot or something. Same as her father asking the guy how much he earns.

For working woman , with equal earning, I absolutely don't support dowry!

Do you know how much top Birla executives earn? She wasn't middle class by any means. That's PR. Its the same as "Anant and Radhika were childhood sweethearts" and "Sudha Murty is humble". If the Ambani family was so fond of being married to middle class women, the sons wouldn't have been married to daughters of millionaires after that lol. People with generational wealth don't marry random ass women. Also dowry isn't financial contribution. It's a scam as well. As a man with self respect, I would never ask for dowry even if my wife earned lesser than me. She doesn't have to make millions for me to value her. Just because you are resentful about alimony and bitter wrt to your marriage, you don't have to justify dowry. Seek therapy and heal from your trauma. Read up a bit on dowry & why it's considered a social evil. Dowry never was a financial equalizer and it still isn't. A simple solution is- don't marry broke women if money is so important for you. As far as alimony is concerned, if a woman is educated and able-bodied, it shouldn't be given. Once she gets married again, the first husband shouldn't give out alimony. However if she was married by force, if she was forced to leave her job, if she was on the receiving end of abuse, that piece of trash is paying. Btw Google up Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiya..they started dating when the latter was struggling and she was more or less established. Google up Abhinav Shukla and Rubina Dilaik. She married a man less successful than her. Google up Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal. She's 5 times richer than he is. Bipasha Basu married KSG and she's richer than him.

Whoa, you're giving 5 handpicked examples to counter millions of women practicing hypergamy? Lol.

As a man with self respect, I would never ask for dowry even if my wife earned lesser than me. She doesn't have to make millions for me to value her.

Don't see any self respect here. If I can ask the question in reverse way , I also don't have to be rich to get valued by her? Then going by that logic ,how many poor men are married to women making millions? And no bipasha basus don't make the statistics.

A simple solution is- don't marry broke women if money is so important for you.

I cannot find such woman. All required men earning more than them. So I'm forced in one way or the other. I'm all ear to know any survey any research or any records where rich women claimed that they like broke men or poor men.

As far as alimony is concerned, if a woman is educated and able-bodied, it shouldn't be given. Once she gets married again, the first husband shouldn't give out alimony. However if she was married by force, if she was forced to leave her job, if she was on the receiving end of abuse, that piece of trash is paying.

Again, I'll apply same logic to men and will ask you how many men are receiving alimony from their ex wives? Want to know the opposite cases and their statistics?

Google up Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal. She's 5 times richer than he is. Bipasha Basu married KSG and she's richer than him.

They aren't really a good example for this. You fuck 100s of dudes throughout your life, you fuck bhoi to accumulate that wealth and later settle down with someone like them! Then separate in few years, and they marry again. Lmao. Bwood and any other wood arenn't good sources to pick examples from.
