Only an extremist would think that saying one tradition or aspect is bad means that the entire culture is bad or inferior.

I've 'talked' (if you can even call it that, it was more like he was blabbering like a 13 year old) to someone on this forum that felt that if you said that wiping your hands in feces is wrong, then you're saying that an entire culture is bad. Now that's just nutty.

Tell her the only way you'll do it is IDB. She'll have no choice but to comply.

I wonder if anyone has ever done studies of the sex lives of people in arranged marriages versus people who married for other reasons.

i volunteer to do a first person polygamous study :p :D ;)

heh I didn't look ... I didn't think they follow customs like that after moving to America. Anyway, I was alluding to a movie if you missed it.

I'm saying that arranged marriages are dumb. In my culture we choose who we want to marry. There isn't a chance in hell that I would have found my wife if I lived in a culture where my parents arranged a marriage for me.

Well, I dont have to follow the tradition, since I couldnt meet anyone on my own whom I liked, I let my parents help me with that process.

I probably will go that route also.
With the help with my family, I probably will go back to Vietnam one day and find someone I'm attracted to.

For me, if I do get married, I have to find the other person sexually attractive.
I know alot of people settled once they get a certain age and feel like time is running out.
I can't see myself doing that.

If you're happy with it, that's all that counts. Good luck!
