Im 27,female and Indo Canadian,and it took a lot of courage for me to admit to my family that I would never marry,as I just dont believe in the institution.My family are ok with it,mostly since theyve been here several generations.Im not a man hater,rather the opposite,I enjoy companionship.Most Indian guys want to only invest time with a girl they may marry,so lately Ive been dating out of my group.I am hoping I can find a quality man with similiar interests who I can share good times and a deep friendship with,minus labels.Everyone seems out to get something,be it committment,money or sex.Why cant people just enjoy each other at face value and open up to the concept that people are not cariactures of a stereotype?Every man Ive met in the last year assumes I must have abuse issues since Im not actively trying to trap a man into marriage.White men my age are the worst,they assume I should be docile,subservient,a good cook,ect.They act shocked when they learn I prefer the Peak to the Beat,dont carry a designer bag,and my folks dont pay for everything.People in this city need to let down the walls and actually look at the person in front of them,not thier stereotype.
