"So here's the key takeaway Arranged marriages in India are complex. They are not just about tradition. They are about navigating a complex web of societal expectations, on one hand, family dynamics on the other hand, and your own personal insecurities. Of course, these matches work wonderfully for some and not that great for many. And there are women who wonder what might have been if they ...
"Because let's remember that painful conditions like vaginismus are more common than we think, and they are of course, treatable with medical help. But what matters most is feeling safe, comfortable and connected with your partner. So here's the takeaway. Female orgasms are not one size fits all. Each woman is unique and pleasure isn't just about the destination, it is about the journey with...
"Take Rhea for instance. Years of toxic comments about her body led her to therapy where she learned to recognize manipulative behaviors. And slowly she built the confidence to walk away from relationships and people who made her question her worth. Since negging is subtle, how do you recognize and protect yourself? Here are my top four tips. Number one, trust your gut. If someone's remarks ...
"How much of me do I keep and how much do I give away? Now here's the thing. Striving for perfection in the long run can be a one way ticket to unhappiness. So please don't. Now let's talk about Brinda, who discovered that the secret to a happy relationship isn't flawlessness. It's respect and reliability. Sure, she and her husband bicker, but they have also built a strong foundation based o...
"It wasn't just about incense, candles and flowers, but instead an in depth study into unspoken realities of an average Indian man. Trust me, you'll want to hear this. Okay, let's start with the first surprise. Loneliness is not just a single person problem. Imagine these accomplished family men with big houses, successful careers, all the trappings of having it all. But they are still lonel...
"Tip number five Please know your company's policies because every workplace has different rules about dating colleagues. Be aware of these and if necessary, please keep your HR informed, especially if your ex holds a senior or a more powerful position. And I'll give you a final tip that's very important. Don't jump into an office rebound. Trying to make your ex jealous by dating another col...
"The fourth reason is that when you overromanticize someone, you basically forget how to call it quits. Our society puts so much pressure on young people to be married that when you are single, you overlook every red flag just so you can continue a relationship. And when you overromanticize your love interest, you lose your ability to come out of the relationship, however terrible it might b...
"It is no secret that in India, if a woman is known to have more than one boyfriend or more than one partner, she is regarded as some horrible person or even called an infomaniac. But in reality, not all women are okay with one partner for a lifetime. Some women, just like some men, crave variety. And for this they do not need to be shamed or have their character assassinated. The fourth and...
"Before you log on to dating apps and actually start meeting people, check whether you have overcome your past romantic or sexual experiences. Instead of swiping mindlessly, give yourself time to heal. Similarly, if there is trouble at work or at home, you need to settle these pressing issues before venturing online to look for love. That brings me to the fifth point. Please be honest with y...
"The third point is it's a myth that Indian women do not grieve for sex as much as the men do. They do. And women also can have multiple partners. So often married women who are not satisfied with their husbands often lead a convenient parallel sex life outside the marriage. You have dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge these days and women are using them. You keep the home, you take care ...
