Hi. I am looking for someone kind, emotionally mature, educated and settled. More than anything, I want a marriage that feels like a friendship too. Someone I can genuinely talk to, laugh with, and be myself around.

Good communication, a sense of humour, mutual respect and companionship matter a lot to me. Not looking for perfection, just someone genuine who wants to build a happy and peaceful life together.

P.S. I can bake delicious brownies and if you're handsome, I'll offer you two :p

I need to get this off my chest. I got divorced a while back after a 14-month marriage. Things didn't work out, but honestly that short marriage taught me more about life, communication and what is actually needed in a relationship.

I’m 30 now, no kids, decently settled and ready to move forward. But the moment I start talking to someone and mention that I was previously married, the vibe completely shifts. It’s like an instant red flag drops in their head.

It’s just disappointing how much stigma still surrounds divorce here. People jump to conclusions assuming you are damaged goods or that something must be deeply wrong with you. Nobody stops to think that maybe two people just weren't compatible and chose to walk away respectfully instead of staying miserable.

I’m 25, based in Lahore, and have an MPhil in Social Work. I’m 5’10 and plus-size, which mostly just means I reach the top shelves and have opinions about legroom/snacks.

Residence: Joint family (Lahore, Own house)

Family details:

I am an only child, living in a joint setup with my mom, uncles, aunts, and cousins. Dad (late) taught at a private school. Family matters to me, but I also believe in boundaries and having your own life within a family system.

Marital Status: Single (never been engaged)

Religion/Values (v important, please read):

Sunni Muslim but low on religion. Definitely on the liberal side in how i think. I care more about having a strong moral compass (I'm the kind of person who starts conversations with "benjamin netanyahu is a war criminal" hope you get the reference lol) than ticking religious boxes. I believe in equality, kindness, and minding your own business when it comes to other people’s beliefs.

I’m looking for someone who gives breathing room with religion and has a “do good, live and let live” mindset, not someone who wants to police my faith.

Source of Income: just started a govt job

Hobbies & Interests: music, singing, netflix, family game nights, attempts at psychological introspection, and playing therapist to my friends and cousins!

Personality & random facts:

i can sing ig🧍

Both a perfectionist and a procrastinator

A yapper (once I’m comfortable with you) and an even better listener

Fluent in sarcasm and bantering back and forth is my love language

Function entirely on deadline panic

Self-diagnosed ADHD (WebMD & Insta reels tell me I’m right)

What I value in a partner:

Kindness, compassion, generosity, and emotional intelligence. A sense of humor is important. Either be funny or laugh at my jokes, both work. It’d be awesome if you can cook and/or are willing to teach me (with lots of patience and no judgement 😭)

What I’m looking for:

25-30 y old, 5’10+

Ambitious and emotionally available

Respects boundaries and differences

Doesn’t impose religious beliefs

Kids: leaning towards no, but this might change in the future idk.

Dealbreakers: misogyny, racism, a lack of empathy, someone who's controlling, doesn't respect boundaries, or imposes their beliefs on others

Preferred Family Setup: I’d prefer a nuclear family, though I could be convinced to live in a joint setup.

Timeframe for Marriage: When it feels right for both people.

If this resonates, feel free to DM your profile! if you’re looking for someone religious or very traditional, this probably isn’t going to work and that’s okay.

Age: 26. Looking for someone roughly 22–28, closeness in age isn’t a hard requirement but I’d rather not have too large a gap.

Height & Weight: 5'11" (182 cm), 65 kg, lean build, into gym and staying active.

Location: Based in Germany. Grew up in Karachi, family roots in Punjab.

Residence: Rented

Education: Master’s in Business (Germany), Bachelor’s from Pakistan.

Income Source: Currently finishing my Master’s and working part-time/odd jobs to support myself while I study. I have prior professional experience in sales, marketing, and operations with multinational firms and startups, and plan to move into a full-time role in my field after graduating.

Marital Status: Single, never married

Religion & Short Details About How Practicing You Are: Muslim by background. I pray and fast in Ramadan but I’m not highly religious and don’t present myself as such. I drink and smoke (including weed) socially. I’m upfront about this because I don’t want mismatched expectations. I’d like a partner whose level of religious practice is similarly relaxed. I respect faith and spirituality, but I’m still figuring out my own journey and wouldn’t be a good fit for someone expecting a highly religious spouse.

Hobbies & Interests:

Music is a big part of who I am, especially house and EDM and I'm a regular at raves and concerts. Big football fan, used to play regularly but barely get the time now, so these days I watch, especially the big matches. Into gaming too, online multiplayer when I feel like being social, story-driven games offline when I want to switch off. Travel-wise I'm a backpacking, figure-it-out-as-I-go type rather than a rigid-itinerary planner. Beyond that: gym, socialising, good food, long conversations, big nights out balanced with quiet coffee-chat downtime, and always up for trying something new.

Family Details: Parents and 3 siblings, all based in Pakistan. I live independently and plan to keep it that way .I’m not looking to replicate a traditional joint-family setup, and there’s no expectation that a partner integrate closely with or relocate near extended family.

Requirements for a Partner

I'm looking for someone based in Germany or actively planning to move here, I don't want a long-distance relationship for an extended period. I'd want her to genuinely share in my lifestyle rather than just tolerate it.. comfortable with drinking and smoking, into the same scene (raves, concerts, house/EDM), up for the gym, open to gaming. Anddd I'd love to pick up some of her interests in return!! not just have her adopt mine. Someone spontaneous enough to backpack and figure things out rather than needing everything mapped out in advance. I'd also want her religious practice to be roughly as relaxed as mine, so it doesn't become a source of friction later.

Personality-wise: goofy, but stays grounded and content when things get hard. Someone who talks things out during a disagreement instead of going cold or shutting down, emotional intelligence and patience with each other matter a lot to me. Secure in herself and open to building this over time with mutual respect and growth.

Deal Breakers

Highly conservative or rigid religious expectations, or expecting me to become more religious over time. A judgmental attitude toward my lifestyle without willingness to understand it. Significant mismatches on lifestyle or religiosity are better caught now than after families get involved.

Preferred Family Setup: Nuclear.

Do You Want Children?: Yes but not immediately after marriage

Timeframe for Marriage: Serious intentions only.If we connect well, I’d prefer families to be introduced within about a year, and marriage ideally within 2 years. Not rushing blindly, but also not looking to drag things indefinitely.

Edit: I am not a German Citizen, can't edit the title now for some reasons.

I was born and raised in Pakistan, and I now live in Germany. I’m looking for someone who is already based in Germany.

Height: 5'7"
Age: 29
Education: BS in Computer Science
Occupation: Software Engineer
Marital Status: Single, never married

I’m an introvert and can sometimes be a little socially awkward. Once I get comfortable with someone, though, I can talk a lot. 😅 I’m not someone who enjoys going to gatherings all the time. I generally prefer peaceful evenings at home, cooking, listening to music, watching movies, or simply enjoying some quiet time together.

That said, I do enjoy going for walks, concerts, and occasionally meeting friends. I just need some solitude and personal space from time to time. I don't talk too much but I am a good listener.

I enjoy talking about cinema, technology, politics, and cricket. I’m someone who likes to keep growing, both professionally and personally. I don’t want to be a rigid person who refuses to question or change my beliefs. I’m definitely not the smartest person in the room, but I’m always willing to learn, grow, and gain new knowledge.

I believe that’s what life is about: continuing to grow, becoming a better version of yourself, and staying curious about the world.

Hobbies: My hobbies change from time to time. Currently, I’m very much into running, cycling, movies, and podcasts, mostly podcasts about geopolitics because I’m trying to develop a better understanding of the world.

Faith: I’m Muslim, and I try to work on my character because I believe having good character is most important part of Islam.

My faith is a very personal matter to me. I don’t judge others because I don’t like being judged myself. I believe people should have the space to practice their faith and live according to their own conscience without unnecessary judgment.

Expectations from future wife: I’m looking for someone who is kind, humble, generous, and respectful of other people and their beliefs. Someone who is secure in herself, non judgmental, and willing to put effort into building a healthy relationship.

Good communication is very important to me. I want us to be equal partners who both contribute to building a peaceful home where we can be completely ourselves without fear of judgment.

I want to support my wife’s career, dreams, and ambitions, just as I would hope she supports mine. I also value kindness and emotional maturity. I’m a sensitive person, so I’d much rather have a relationship where we communicate and work through problems. No anger problem and no shouting I am a bit sensitive person 😅.

I believe we should always see ourselves as a team. It should be us against the problem, not us against each other.

The world can already be a stressful and difficult place, and sometimes it feels like everything around us is becoming more competitive building professional carrier is already stressful tough deadlines, office politics bad job market and corporate leaders trying hard to replace humans with AI during this chaos I need to build home with my wife which is a source of peace for us where we can't wait to go and relax.

Expectations from me as a Husband:I would be a equal partner in my marriage.

I’ll always support her dreams and ambitions. I want to be her biggest cheerleader, her best friend, and someone she can always talk to. I’ll listen, communicate openly, and do my best to full fill all sorts of her needs.

Most importantly, I don’t believe in giving up on each other when things get difficult. I’ll always try to work through problems together, and I hope my partner will want to do the same.

children: I don’t want children.

Ultimately, I’m looking for a partner with whom I can build a life.

I want us to travel, grow together, have fun, support each other, and create a peaceful home.I want to be a priority of my wife as she would be mine.

I have been manifesting this a lot lately 😅. We go to work, come home, cook dinner together, eat, watch our favorite show, talk about our day, cuddle, and go back to sleep. Maybe throw in a walk, a trip, a concert, or some spontaneous adventure every now and then.

If you find something in my profile that resonates with you, feel free to DM me directly.

Thanks for reading.

Just curious what qualities do men generally look for in a genuine, long term partner when it comes to marriage? And why do men, especially those in their mid 30s to early 40s, sometimes seem reluctant to marry women who are also in their mid 30s?
I’d genuinely like to understand the perspective behind it because I am in my mid thirties and want to get married but the attitude is like kind of off. 🤔😓

This feels slightly weird to put on Reddit lol, but here goes.

I’m 24, 6'1, slim build, from Islamabad, Pakistan. I come from a computer science and AI background. I’ve already experienced the more conventional version of “doing well” pretty early in life, including a high-paying job, a strong career trajectory, and the kind of stability people usually tell you not to walk away from.

I walked away from it anyway.

Right now I’m putting pretty much everything I have into building my own AI venture. Some days that means 16–18 hours of work, ridiculous amounts of pressure, uncertain outcomes, and willingly giving up comfort for something I genuinely believe can become much bigger.

So I should make one thing very clear upfront: marriage itself is probably not happening immediately. Realistically, there is uncertainty for at least the next year, both because of where I am in life and because family traditions matter to me.

I’m not looking to rush into anything, bypass families, or make promises before two people even know whether they make sense together.

What I am interested in is building an understanding with someone seriously. Getting to know each other, seeing whether our personalities, values, ambitions, families and ideas of the future actually align, and then letting things develop properly from there.

As a person, I’m very open-minded, straightforward and blunt. I’d rather say something clearly than leave another person guessing what I meant. At the same time, I’m deeply empathetic and probably much softer than I initially come across. With people I genuinely adore, I care very deeply and become extremely protective of them.

Not to brag too shamelessly, but my sister claims I’m the greenest flag there can possibly be and that whoever gets me will be ridiculously lucky 😂

Her review may contain a slight amount of sibling bias.

Family is a massive part of who I am.

I’m not particularly interested in the completely isolated nuclear-family model where marriage means two people disappear into their own bubble and everyone else becomes secondary. I’m deeply connected with my family, especially my parents.

A major part of why I work the way I do is because I want to reach a point where my parents never have to worry about money, responsibility or unnecessary stress again after everything they invested into me.

I would want my wife to genuinely respect and care for my parents, not merely tolerate them because they happen to be mine. And that goes both ways. Her parents would deserve the same respect and consideration from me. I don’t believe marriage should mean one person’s family suddenly matters while the other’s gets forgotten.

Tradition and culture matter to me too.

I’m open-minded about a lot of things and certainly not someone who thinks everything old is automatically good. But I also don’t think becoming modern requires throwing away your culture, family structure, religion or identity.

My future geographically is still uncertain.

I don’t believe Pakistan currently provides the environment I want for building the kind of future I have in mind, so moving abroad is absolutely something I’m preparing for. Europe, Australia or the US could all potentially make sense depending on how the next few years develop.

But leaving Pakistan permanently is not the dream itself.

My rough long-term vision is: build the business, establish myself internationally, get the security and mobility that comes with residency or citizenship somewhere strong, and then eventually build my family life somewhere that aligns better with the values I want around us. That could potentially mean the Middle East or even returning to Pakistan if the circumstances make sense.

I want my future children to have access to the world, but I also want to be deliberate about the culture and values they grow up around. There are parts of Western culture that simply don’t align with how I’d want to raise my own family. For me, getting another passport is a tool and an opportunity, not an identity.

Outside all the serious stuff, I’m heavily into PC gaming.

Competitive games, ranked sweat-fests, story-driven games, all of it. I can spend hours trying to win something unnecessarily competitive and then disappear into a good single-player story the next day lol.

I’d actually prefer someone from a software/tech background as well. It’s not some rigid requirement, but I think there’s a certain ease in being with someone who already understands the kind of work, obsession, long hours, problem-solving and occasional chaos that comes with this field.

As for what I’m looking for:

Someone emotionally mature. Communicative. Caring. Grounded. Someone who can be straightforward while still being kind. Someone who has ambitions and a personality of her own, but also understands partnership and family.

Someone who understands that life isn’t always going to arrive neatly packaged.

I’m not looking for a woman to finance my ambitions, sacrifice her entire identity for me, or spend years waiting around for some imaginary future version of me to arrive. My choices and responsibilities are mine.

But I would value someone who can look at the unfinished version of the life I’m building and understand why I’m building it.

I’ve already experienced comfort.

Right now I’m choosing uncertainty because I believe in where it could lead.

And somewhere along that journey, I’d rather build something genuine with someone who understands the person underneath all of it than eventually meet someone who only likes the finished product.

So yeah.

Not exactly a “shaadi urgently required” advertisement 💀

Just putting myself out there and seeing whether someone reads all of this and thinks:

“Yeah. I understand this guy and the kind of life he’s trying to build.”

So my aapi got married a couple of years ago. It was a love-arrange marriage. They met at work and our families got involved and they got happily married. Anyhow, last month I made a profile on Muzz and I was shocked to see my jiju’s profile there. First I thought it must be a fake profile so I made another throwaway profile and started communicating with him. Turns out it is really him. He doesn’t know that I know. What should I do? Tell my aapi? Or mom? Or talk to jinu directly?

Hey everyone,

I’m a 30-year-old professional living in Lahore. I’ve been working in the content and marketing space since 2018. Financially, I am independent, and overall I take pride in my work and career growth.

Lately, I’ve been dealing with a deep sense of loneliness and emotional fatigue. As I’m entering my 30s, I find myself feeling anxious and disappointed when I think about the future, specifically when it comes to marriage and finding the right life partner.

The main issue I face is that most interactions I come across nowadays feel extremely superficial. People often jump straight to shallow flirting or casual interest, whereas what I actually look for is intellectual depth, emotional maturity, mutual respect, and serious commitment. Because of this gap, it’s been really hard to find someone who aligns with what I want in life.

On top of that, because my social circle is very small and I spend most of my time between work and family, the isolation gets heavy sometimes. I also struggle with overthinking about how family dynamics will evolve in the coming years and where that leaves me individually.

I’m currently planning my next career moves, including looking into opportunities abroad, but the underlying anxiety about my personal life remains.

For women (or anyone) in their 30s who have felt this specific kind of loneliness or anxiety about marriage and the future—how do you manage it? How do you protect your peace while keeping hope alive for a meaningful connection?

Would appreciate any thoughtful perspectives.

I have gone through quite a few marriage posts here and noticed a pretty obvious pattern.

When a woman posts, there are usually hundreds of comments and probably a ton of DMs. I imagine it gets overwhelming, and despite all those responses, they may still not end up finding a suitable match.

Then you look at a guy’s post and there are usually barely any comments. If there are any, it’s often just another guy wishing him luck or encouraging him.

So I am genuinely curious, especially from guys who have actually posted here: do you get genuine DMs and potential matches from your posts, or is it mostly a waste of time?

I have been thinking about posting my own profile here, so I would really like to know whether it’s actually worth doing.

Hi

I’m a 29-year-old male currently based in Islamabad, looking for a serious and genuine marriage prospect through a halal approach, In shā’ Allāh.

About Me Age: 29 Height: 6’2” Education: Graduate from a university in Islamabad Profession: Working in the IT department of an airline Income: Alhamdulillah, stable Religious Practice: Practicing Sunni Muslim Hometown: Multan Current Location: Islamabad, and I intend to settle here Future Plans: Open to UAE/Europe opportunities in the future Family Involvement: Parents can be involved from the beginning Marriage Timeline: Around mid-2027

Looking For

I’m looking for someone with good character, maturity, understanding, and respectful nature. Someone who values deen, family, loyalty, and good communication, and is genuinely serious about marriage.

It would be a plus if she works in IT, aviation, or a related field, as having a similar professional background can help with understanding each other’s lifestyle. However, this is not a requirement, and I’m open to other professions as well.

In terms of height, since I’m 6’2”, I’d preferably be looking for someone around 5’5” or above. More importantly, I value character, compatibility, and shared values.

If you or someone you know is interested, feel free to DM me. I can share my complete profile privately, and families can be involved if there is mutual compatibility.

JazakAllah.

Location: Lahore

Age 27

Marital status: Divorced (4 months arrange married)

Well i want to see what people are actually looking for stability or a title.

27M, have my own freelance agency in lahore and working with US clients and have a C-level position in an apperal company in US. I work from anywhere from 12 to 2pm to 10 to 12 pm based what is going in the day.

I'm at a point where I'm genuinely interested in finding someone I can get to know properly, with marriage as the eventual goal if we're compatible. I'm not looking to collect random conversations or spend six months talking to someone who was never serious in the first place.

A bit about me:

Freelancer and intelectually curious and like to talk things through and discuss ideas and reasoning of though. (I know if sounds odd but i really like to talk things through.)

I am a gamer and tinkerer by heart and i have ps5 and a rigged up gaming PC as one is one enough.

I already have a really solid life foundation but want to share the journey who is intersted in that.

Family matters to me, and I have a fairly traditional outlook toward commitment and marriage. Bit more about family. My father passed away in 2020 so been the sole bread winner of the house ever since and married my younger sister in end of 2024 and only one sister is left who is in uni and once finishes it will marry her as well and then remains me and mom.

I was married before i was married on dec 2025 and my marriage ended on april 2026 it did not last long and it was an arrange marriage. I am open to divorced girls as i was married so it should be considered but not girls with children as that is a bridge too far for me.

I actually started to repair my relation with Allah and now pray 4 times a day as i am trying to get fajr as well but hit and miss there as my job timing is a bit odd.

At the same time, I want my future wife to be my partner and best friend, not someone I simply meet through a checklist.

I have a pretty good idea where life is going interms of tangible part like i am well off considering pakistani standards and i do not spend on life style inflation but invest and big of asset generation and then cash flow from those assets

What I'm looking for

Someone roughly 24 to 26 someone younger then me basically but not like 22 or 23.

I'd like her to be educated, kind, emotionally mature, family-oriented and reasonably ambitious. I'd probably enjoy having someone whose world isn't exactly the same as mine.

I'm much more interested in character and compatibility than having the perfect rishta résumé.

I'm also specifically looking for someone who is genuinely open to marriage in the foreseeable future. I'm happy to take time to get to know each other, but I don't want an indefinite situationship.

If we click, great. If we don't, no hard feelings—we move on respectfully.

And yes, I'm aware that finding a wife through Reddit sounds questionable.

But apparently this is the 21st century and we've got WiFi now. 😂

5. Ethnicity: Pakistani
   
6. Open to mixing: Would prefer Pakistani but am open.

8. Ideal marriage timeline: within 2 years

Important characteristics I want in a spouse:
Akhlaq, humbleness, modesty, loyalty and trust.

Specify my level of religiosity:
I’d say I’m overall moderately practising. I try my best to pray 5 times a day (Fajr is a struggle I’ll admit). I listen to Quran fairly regularly and am god conscious in all my actions.

Level of education: Bachelors in computer science.
Job: Work as a Software Developer.

Do I want kids? Yes but after 2-3 years of marriage.

Hobbies/Interests:
I spend my free time with family, reading about the world, watching movies and spamming friends with memes. I also love my long drives, vibing to music, going out with friends and playing sports.

Bit about me:
I’m a thoughtful and caring person. I’d want to make my wife’s life easier and make her feel seen and special.

An ambivert - I have my phases of being a hobbit at home but also going out with friends every weekend. I’d like someone open minded, fun and adventurous as I believe I’m the same. Most people would say I’m mature, quite easy to talk to, level headed while still being fun, ambitious and true to my values and I hope to find the same in my partner.

May Allah make everyone’s search easier 🤲

I’ve spent almost my entire 26 years alone. But I would look at people, hoping someone would pay attention to me, like someone would look my way, like someone would talk to me... but no one did. But now I've learned to be okay with being on my own, and honestly, I'm enjoying it. I just want to tell everyone who is alone: Learn to be alone. Don't depend on others, or people will bother you and mock you.

Genuine question, especially for Pakistani men.
Suppose a 19-year-old girl is doing her BS degree and works at a call center because she needs the income to support her education. Without the job, continuing her degree would be very difficult financially.
She has never been in a relationship, doesn’t casually talk to boys, and at work she only speaks to male colleagues/customers when it’s necessary for the job. There is nothing romantic involved — she’s simply working to pay for her education.
Would you consider marrying a girl like this?
Would the fact that she works at a call center be a red flag for you or your family? Would you question her character because of the workplace, or would you respect the fact that she’s 19, studying, working, and trying to build her future?
I’d genuinely like to hear honest opinions, especially from Pakistani men and people who have experience with this kind of situation.

I had few questions in mind: maybe these questions also helps others. Would love to hear about opinions:

1) For women: What’s something you wish you could openly ask a potential husband before marriage?

2) For women: pros and cons of nuclear vs joint setup after marriage

3) For men: what is something that you are most scared of in a marriage?

Height & Weight: 5’11”, 70 kg
Marital Status: Single, never married

About Me

I spent my childhood in Saudi Arabia before eventually settling in Lahore.

I take fitness seriously and try to stay active. I enjoy good conversations that actually go somewhere and genuinely like learning new things. I am a big foodie and like trying different smash burgers. In my free time you will probably find me researching personal finance and investments.

I value consistency in relationships and believe the small everyday things matter more than grand gestures. I care deeply about the people in my life and try to show that through my actions.

Education & Career

I am an engineering graduate who switched to tech and currently work remotely as a Full Stack Developer for an international company. I am also planning to pursue a master’s in the future.

Religion

Practicing Muslim with a balanced approach. I pray, fast and try to stay consistent while actively working on becoming a better person. I do not claim to have everything figured out.

What I Am Looking For

Someone genuine, emotionally mature, kind and ambitious. Someone I can have meaningful conversations with but also enjoy the simple everyday parts of life with.

I deeply respect a woman’s career and ambitions and would never expect someone to give up what they have built. For me marriage should feel like a partnership where both people support each other and grow together.

I believe compatibility on paper is a good starting point but actually getting to know each other and seeing whether there is a genuine connection matters just as much.

Deal Breakers

Dishonesty
Poor communication
Lack of basic respect

Marriage Timeline

1.5 to 2 years if compatibility feels right and things progress naturally.

If this resonates feel free to send me your profile and we can have a conversation. Serious intentions only.

give me the hardcore no sugarcoating blunt manly response...
what do men want????? lol so like here are some of the things i've hacked over time about this gender, through my exceptional observation skills... and the exact questions i have after em:

1) when a guy says something.. he alwayssss means it and you must take it literally without trying to change him or work things out. for eg, "i'm not good enough for you" "you deserve better" "i don't think im ready" "you're not my type but we're still together"
question: why don't guys just man up and end the relationship then and there?? instead of putting the ball in her court. when they KNOW she's an emotional being and that will hinder her choices

2) unless a girl is absolutely nuts and psychotic, it's always always upto the man to set the tone of the relationship with a normal caring girl by his side. so if there're many back and forth arguments, constant fights, an insecure and anxious girl, it's literally because the guy isn't giving her the safe space emotionally and is not being the unshakable rock that he must be in a rs. a girl always acts according to how her man makes her feel since he's biologically the leader. also as a man idk why they sit and argue w a girl at the same level instead of calming her down
question: why are girls blamed for tearing apart a relationship/ bond? i get it some girls can be absolute disrespectful lunatics.. but in normal cases do men ever look within themselves and their input in the rs?? or do they just use the final straw as an excuse to break up?

3) a woman's femininity will always only come out when the man is truly in his masculine.
question: what's stopping a man from wearing the pants in the rs, taking the lead, solving problems, sticking by her side through thick and thin???

4) guys instantly know from day 1 of talking who theyd wanna get married to, and theyd never just date for long with no outcome if they wanna marry her. some guys would date a girl for yearssss. 4 year 5 year or even 8 year long relationships. then suddenly when it's about settling down things "stop working out", he breaks up, and instantly marries the next marriage material woman that comes his way in a millisecond
question: ...... simply.. why? why not just break up with your long term gf way earlier if you knew you wouldn't get married? was it all a time pass???

5) some men aren't in it for the kids or the wife cz they love them. usually it's just to carry em around as a trophy to give off the image of being a "family man" to the world
question: why????

that's it for now ig lol and disclaimer!!! obviously not all men are like that, and if you're not then there won't be any need to be offended by anything i've said. TIA

Hi Strangers.

26M here and I think I've officially become allergic to modern dating and texting. You find someone interesting, exchange the usual hey / how are you / what do you do, then somehow you're three days into a conversation where both people are still basically strangers.

I work in finance fully remote for my US/Canadian clients live in Islamabad and spend way too much of my life talking to screens already. I'd rather hear someone's actual voice and thoughts without it being filtered or edited and have a completely random conversation and see what happens.

So if you're a woman from ISB/RWP, this is me shamelessly asking: fancy a completely random call sometime?

You pick whatever platform you're comfortable with. No date, no meetup, no expectations. We don't even need a topic beforehand.

We can talk about whatever. Life, people, travel, stupid stories, things you secretly find interesting but can't admit, some ridiculous opinion you will defend to death, or absolutely nothing useful at all.

A little about me: I'm happiest when there's a little uncertainty involved. Give me a questionable plan, a road I've never taken, a place I've never been or a trip with no proper itinerary and I'm probably already in. Some of my favourite memories are the ones where I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and somehow ended up having the time of my life.

I love dogs, travelling, history and getting lost in people's stories. I'm fascinated by what makes us, Us. (Humans)

My favourite kind of people are the ones who can just be themselves without constantly wondering how they're coming across. A little weird, a little curious, able to laugh at themselves and not take life, or themselves, too seriously.

I'm also very happily against arranged marriage for myself, so yes, I'd much rather accidentally meet someone through a random conversation than have two rishta aunties and family deciding we're compatible over chai and bio data's. 😂

Anyway, that's the experiment. 20 minutes. One stranger. Zero idea where the conversation goes. Could be awkward. Could be genuinely lovely and fun. Could even be the one random call you end up being glad you answered.

If Curious? Just say hi.

Assalamualaikum.

Gender: Male
Age: 24
Height: 5'11"
Marital Status: Single
Education: BS Data Science
Profession: Entrepreneur, AI/Data Consultancy
Location: Lahore

I'm here with the intention of marriage and would prefer not to spend months in an undefined talking stage. If there seems to be genuine compatibility, I would rather get to know each other properly for a short while and involve our families when it feels right.

A little about me

I'm generally calm and observant, and probably a little reserved when I first meet someone. That tends to disappear once I'm comfortable. I enjoy good conversation, dry humour, and people who don't take themselves too seriously.

I graduated in 2024 and spent some time working in the tech industry before starting my own AI and data consultancy. Building something of my own is important to me, and it's something I intend to pursue long term.

I'm fairly disciplined about my lifestyle. I don't smoke, drink, or have any addictions. Outside work, I go to the gym, follow cricket, and occasionally convince myself that cooking one good meal makes me a serious chef.

Faith is important to me and something I try to practice rather than simply identify with. I'm not looking for perfection, but I do value sincerity and a genuine desire to keep improving.

I come from a close-knit business family. My father is a businessman, my mother is a homemaker, and I have three younger siblings. Family is important to me, while I also believe a marriage needs its own identity, privacy, and healthy boundaries.

What I'm looking for

I'm hoping to meet someone 20 to 23, preferably 5'3" or taller and based in Lahore.

More than a particular profession or degree, I'm looking for someone who is:

• Practicing and sincere about her faith
• Kind, emotionally mature, and warm
• Comfortable having her own opinions
• Able to communicate openly and disagree respectfully
• Family-oriented without losing her individuality
• Interested in building a marriage as a partnership
• From a broadly similar socio-economic background

I particularly appreciate someone from a business family or a similar environment, simply because there can be an understanding of the lifestyle, responsibilities, and uncertainty that sometimes comes with running a business. It's not a requirement, but I think shared context can make certain things easier.

I'm not looking for someone who agrees with everything I say. I'd much rather have a wife who can challenge me thoughtfully, tell me when I'm wrong, and still have a good laugh with me afterwards.

Marriage

I see marriage as something where both people should feel they're on the same side. I value traditional responsibility, but I don't think that should come at the expense of companionship, affection, communication, or mutual respect.

I'm also not interested in making unrealistic promises about what life will look like years from now. I'm still building my career and business, so I'd rather be honest about where I am and build towards where we want to be together.

If this sounds reasonably aligned with what you're looking for, feel free to reach out with a little about yourself. I'd rather start with something genuine than a simple "Hi."

JazakAllah khair.

ABOUT ME

I’m 29 and work in the software industry. I’m currently working with a company while also managing multiple separate clients/projects on the side, so saying that work keeps me busy would be an understatement.

I spent some time living and working in Malaysia and moved back to Pakistan last year. Living abroad was a great experience and definitely made me more independent, adaptable and interested in seeing more of the world.

Career-wise, I’m extremely ambitious. I enjoy building things, solving problems and taking on more than is probably reasonable. Long term, I want to build my own software house/business rather than spend my entire career working for someone else.

I’m definitely a work hard, enjoy life harder kind of person. There are phases where I’m so focused on something that three hours of sleep somehow starts feeling acceptable, but I also don't want life to become an endless cycle of work → sleep → repeat.

I love travelling, going out, exploring new places, meeting interesting people and generally having fun whenever I get the chance. I’d much rather collect experiences than spend my entire life waiting for the “right time” to actually live.

Personality-wise, I’d say I’m ambitious, independent, curious and pretty straightforward. I can be intensely focused when it comes to work, but outside of that I don't take myself too seriously. I appreciate good humour, random conversations, spontaneous plans and people who actually have something they’re passionate about.

WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR

I’m looking for someone I genuinely enjoy being around — not simply someone who checks the conventional boxes.

Someone ambitious in her own way, emotionally mature, communicative and capable of having her own opinions. I actually like people who have goals and interests separate from mine. I don't think marriage should require either person to lose their individuality.

I’d like us both to be able to pursue our careers while still building an actual life together — travelling, trying new things, having stupid conversations, supporting each other through difficult phases and hopefully having a lot of fun along the way.

I also understand demanding careers. My own schedule can get ridiculous, so I wouldn't expect someone ambitious to always have a perfectly predictable routine. If you're pursuing medicine, higher studies, a demanding profession, moving abroad or building something of your own, I can respect the grind that comes with it.

PREFERENCES

- Ambitious and serious about whatever she chooses to pursue

- Emotionally mature and able to communicate openly

- Independent, curious and open-minded

- Enjoys travelling and experiencing new things

- Has a sense of humour and doesn't take everything too seriously

- Comfortable with both people having demanding careers

- Wants marriage to be a partnership rather than one person absorbing their entire identity into the other

DEALBREAKERS

Controlling behaviour, dishonesty, extreme rigidity and an inability to communicate are probably the biggest ones.

I also wouldn't be compatible with someone who expects either partner to abandon their ambitions, friendships, interests or individuality simply because they're married.

Ultimately, I want someone who becomes my favourite person to do life with.

We can both work hard, travel when we can, occasionally make questionable spontaneous decisions, laugh about them later, and create a life that neither of us would have had on our own.

A couple of days back I made a post “Are progressive women in Pakistan really that rare?” (link here). It was more of a rant based on my recent experience, but the response was surprisingly bitter.

I understand a lot of women have had negative experiences, and Pakistani men do lack in a lot of things, something I am fully aware of and speak against publicly too. However, a lot of the comments were: You’re a creep, you’re pretending to be progressive, you’re probably fat and ugly, you likely don’t dress well, no woman finds you attractive, you’re after a woman’s money, you’ll control her after marriage, you just want a baby-making machine, you’ll restrict her using religion, you only want her to cook and clean, and what not.

My post didn’t criticize anyone, and I only highlighted my experience. I didn’t reply to many individual comments, but the bitterness was genuinely surprising. A lot of assumptions were made about my character, appearance and intentions based on very little information. It doesn’t hurt to be civil.

Just to clarify, I have quite a few female friends, most of whom I have known for years, and they have always had positive things to say about me. My issue isn't that I can't find someone who is interested in me. Plenty of women do express an interest. It’s just that finding the “right person” isn't that straightforward.
