Well, when you are not that desirable physically, emotionally and mentally, then i guess the arranged, programmed marriage works.

Alot of short, darker skinned indian men face the problem of not finding a suitable girl on their own, due to the fact that women prefer taller, fair skinned better looking males. South indians may not find those who have the fair skin, hence they settle for darker men. But height is still important to the indian females. Physical appearance is a huge problem in america since many people have the eurocentric features which tend to me the most desirable in the world. So the short brown indian man has an even tougher time finding a soul mate in america.

This is not the fault of shorter indian men. They can only try their best to be a decent, loving human being. Maybe it is the women who need to reassess their priorities in what they want from a male.
