arranged marriages, ? Options

[luvnhate]

yea i was just wondering what you guys think about arranged marriages? it doesn't happen as often ne more but in some countries they still do this
so what do u think about them?

I don't think marriage may be forced in America... but if it's religious and a tradition that's gone on for decades and decades, just marry the man and make the best of it, I guess.

Before I reply to your last post, I'm still trying to figure out where in your ass you pulled that out. Who said anything about arranged marriages being incest?

And like it was stated before, they don't just pick a random person. The parents pick who they think you'd like based on your opinions and likes/dislikes.

Now, some parents just choose for status. Say, they pick a guy with tons of money to raise their family's status. I don't agree with that at all.

-So basically to me what you said about what i said,is like you saying its all good to marry your own cousin?!If you are saying that then i believe you need help,correct me otherwise if im wrong if your not saying that.

Wait, so marrying your cousin isn't incest? Do you even know what incest is? I think you're the one who needs to learn how to read buddy. Or figure out what you're trying to say before you say it.

And yes they do pick a random person sometimes on wealth but not on the childs opinions.So check your self homie.

So, mind backing that up with some facts? A few people with arranged marrages in their family just sat there and explained that the parents do pick the person from a general idea of what their son/daughter wants.

First, the parents look at some prospective males/females that they like, and they talk to the other families about that suitor and create an alliance. During this process, they also take their son's/daughter's prefs into mind.

Then, they have the son/daughter meet the prospectives and see who they do/don't like. They go from there.

And I am not your homie.
