callouscomic@lemm.ee 2 weeks agoSo kind of lazyness/complacency regarding obligations pressured by others. They’re basically describing solutions to a problem they shouldn’t have in the first place. Still seems shitty.

Well, yeah, in an ideal world a person should be able to pursue an education and a career and still have time to pursue romantic interests as well, but that’s not really the world we live in, at least not for a lot of people. If someone wants to really devote themselves to their career instead of spending time dating, and their parents want to handle the hunt for a good partner, it doesn’t sound like a bad arrangement so long as everyone’s happy.
Again, it’s not for me, and I’d imagine it’s not for a lot of people, but so long as everyone’s given a choice and this is what they choose, I think it’s fine. Yes, I’m sure not everyone is truly given a choice, but that would be the issue with this: not arranged marriages in general, but specifically the idea that a child must obey their parents regardless of their own aspirations.
