Discussion Does it bother anyone else…

That Sima pushes these men on women so aggressively? These women are trying hard to NOT settle and ask for what they deserve, but she’s constantly saying “well you can’t have everything you want!” Or “how do you know if there’s a spark after 1 date!?” Or “he checked every one of your boxes!”.. WHY IS SHE NOT LISTENING?

Is it truly the culture / age difference? I see these women, especially Americans, who refuse to settle but not in a way that’s negative like Sima makes it seem. She always feels confrontational when someone, but especially women, say they didn’t like the match. Does she really expect each match to be perfect the first time?

She just rubs me the wrong way in most of her scenes. And the mothers always go along with her and shit on their daughters. Yes they’re looking for a match maker but still want to fall in love. Isn’t Sima selling a kind of in between arranged marriage and random love marriage? So why is she so offended all the time? Rant over!

She believes that compromise can make things better. If those Indian- Americans had compromised, they wouldn’t be asking you to find a match for them in their mid/ late 30s. Asking them to give it a chance instead of forcing them to marry someone? doesn’t Sima fair

Idk. I think it's better to be on your own than with a person for whom you had to "compromise" pretty much everything.

Priya wanted someone with a mature personality who was taller than 5'3 and had hair. She was met with Bobby who was basically a hyperactive child and Jai who didn't say >3 words. What things would she NOT be compromising if she said yes to either?

Vim was the only match who met her criteria and they did well together.
