I don't have one really. Haven't given it much thought- whatever floats people's boats I guess. Though I do remember reading somewhere that statistically they last longer than 'love marriages' in the west lol.

Wbu?


So you'd be open to having an arranged marriage?

Arranged marriages don't make sense to me, how can someone be ready to live their life with someone they don't know that well. :dontknow:

lol U mad hahah
look yeah fam
if my parents showed me 10/10 boy i would be like when would i ever be able to chat him up in real life without messing it up so like yeah i would deffo take it lol


But you won't even know each other that well at the start of your engagement/marriage :lol: Also, you'll both have to deal with the expectations of your respective families.

I think it's better do things on your own terms without letting other people intervene :yep:

No I'm not open to have one lol. I meant I don't have anything against anyone that would be open to have one - some people (like that asif) haven't got a choice after they've been rejected so many times #shotsfired.

I agree. Getting to know the real personality of a person takes time. For me, my way of thinking in general is different to most people's so there's no way I could take any steps without knowing the person properly

@asif007 I'm joking btw lol. Just messing with you

Ohhh, I didn't mean to say that I have anything against people who have arranged marriages - if they're happy with it then that's fine. LOOOL :rofl: Yeah nowadays arranged marriages is because they aren't open to dating or haven't found someone.

Exactly, arranged marriages seem to be based on wealth/family/looks. :erm:

I plan to be a cat lady. :emog:

I think that's all they're based on. Personality or half a brain is worth more imo

Why do you plan to be a cat lady?

I agree.

Well...

I love cats.

Most guys don't like cats, I can't be living with someone who doesn't like cats.

I won't be lonely.

Relationships aren't worth it.

Better off single.

Those are very legit reasons so good for you! This is very off topic but I was thinking about getting a cat when I was told that apparently you can train them to use the toilet. That's a win win situation tbh.

:ahee: Yeah I'm still open to having a relationship, but I doubt I will get into one.

Get a cat! They really know how to look after themselves, they're not fussy. Just got to feed them and they pee/poop in the cat litter box. I wish I was allowed a cat. :emo:

Yea, a real toilet lol. It's a seat or something that you put on the toilet seat and they use it... thats what i was told but I'm not even sure anymore after that. It might not even exist - probably best to stop now instead of making myself look stupid

I just googled it. Some videos popped up but I won't watch them. :redface:

I suppose it is true, don't worry you're not making a fool out of yourself. :laugh:

If you do get a cat be sure to send me a pic. :emog:
