WESTERNERS: What kind of marriage you prefer

[AphroditeWorshiper]

Arranged Marriage is disgusting and weird

this still exists nowadays?

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

Arranged marriages were the rule in every single common, human and natural societies since the beggining of times until the great satan of western modernity appeared and started to transmute all social relations in a kind of atomized way of life, where the individual (a non-existent entity according to the metaphysics of all traditional religions) becomes the only fundament of the social organization. I'm not going to enter in detail about the satanic forces involved in such horrendous enterprise, but it's obvious that any sane person should chose the natural way of things, saying better, the cosmic way, the arranged marriages. It's true because it reflects a vision of society where the collective and metaphysical is beyond mere lust and individual aspirations. A society dominated by the latter is condemned to extinction.

I put those words in bold to remind everyone you're the guy who talks about a great esoteric knowledge passed down your family tree for centuries that reveals the evil workings of Satan or some absurd nonsense.

If only we could go back in time and destroy Western modernity so you could die of polio. I actually met someone from Central America who was crippled by polio. It made me think, "it's unfortunate there weren't any Satanic doctors near his village at the time." He's a good guy. It saddens me when a good guy suffered in life because they were born in a backwards place, while people who are fortunate to be born in a place where those same illnesses have been wiped out because of easy access to modern science play 'which goofy guru can take more of my parent's money from me' around the globe.

Pseudo-spirituality is the greatest of First World problems. It's right above not being able to find a date for the prom.

This is a false characterization of free choice in marriage.

Offer a better description then. Just do not get it full of pink words and euphemisms and you'll be fine.

Anything regarding "love", feelings, individualism or things unnecessary/irrelevant for the goal of setting up a good base for a family to grow and be truly united.

I chose arranged marriage because people in the West automatically assume that arranged marriage is a draconian institution per se which doesn't take into consideration the desires and needs of the members. Of course, there is arranged marriage where the potential mates are both consulted and in cultures with arranged marriage, families meet to decide who they think is compatible as well as discussing things with the members involved. I would let my parents know the sort of woman I desired, and in India, often a couple will date 3-4x and after that they decide whether or not to get married.

I think arranged marriage ensures that more people can find a compatible partner and ensures that people can focus on other things than finding a mate (health, career, etc.) Arranged marriage was the norm in the West until very recently in history.

Knowing your background this comes as no surprise. Marriage is of absolutely no importance other than to secure the existence and wellbeing of children growing up into functional, based individuals. Lest this desire not exist at all, marriage is unnecessary.
