"how would the matchmaking take place if the bride was not interested in the first place?"

They could get a tax cut for every matchmaking event they attend (even if they leave without meeting anyone)? So the ideal scenario would be both future partners go to the event purely to get the tax cut, but then meet each other and fall for each other so deeply that they would rather marry despite doing so disqualifying them from all further matchmaking events (and the associated tax cuts) for the rest of their lives!

The funny thing is some Westernized Muslims were replying to the original tweet saying this proves that Hinduism is a "degenerate" religion because it promotes "LGBT". Unfortunately, some Hindus are also joining in on the homophobia whereas before they were rightly condemning it as an "Abrahamic" (read: Judaic) attitude.

This is the unfortunate consequence of using "LGBT rights" in non-Western countries as a mechanism to dismantle homophobia.

I disagree with both "LGBT rights" and the homophobic overreaction.

Indian high-class societies imitate lower-class attitudes of the west and show it off as western culture to low/mid class Indians.

This GIF gives an example of how aristocratic and high class parties really are, this is the peak western culture that can’t be copied by lemurs.

I agree that the partygoers in the quoted tweet are not imitating actual Western culture as shown in the GIF. However this does not mean that the partygoers are not themselves attempting to imitate Western culture. As the original tweeter suggests, they probably are attempting to imitate the lower class attitudes of the West, being unable to imitate the higher class attitudes. That being said, as cringeworthy as their mannerisms are, I would rather they imitate the low class West than the high class champagne sipping West, as many did during the colonial era.

Moreover, partying/dancing (even with alcohol) does not have to necessarily mean one should imitate the West. We can have non-Western alcohol, non-Western dance, non-Western music, etc.

Returning to the topic of "simping", the problem is not devotion as such, but rather the vacancy-filling mindset of some "simps" who simply want to "pick up" a girl. Thankfully, this "cold approach" behavior is socially taboo in countries such as India, but feminists will make excuses if the "simp" is "White". and in some cases, will even lump genuine romantic devotion in with the simpers and outright excuse the behavior of the PUAs as it increases their SMV. "Traditionalists" (and I use that term lightly) are also no help in this matter as they will not only lump in romantics with PUAs, but will also exhibit the same vacancy filling approach in arranged marriage.

Islam seems good in that it establishes social etiquette in mixed gender settings so as to avoid sexual tension, but modern day attempts to implement Islam in India will almost invariably lead to authoritarianism and sexual repression reminiscent of the Victorian era, along with the promulgation of negative non-Aryan attitudes, so this is not a solution for the country.

"some "simps" who simply want to "pick up" a girl"

Doesn't that contradict the very definition of "simping", which is doing it for nothing in return?

"this "cold approach" behavior"

Exactly. "Cold approach" =/= "simping". There already exists a term for the former, so why use the latter term to refer to the same phenomenon when it is supposed to describe a different phenomenon?

Western inferior view on sociability

Quote
Susan Cain, author of the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, argues that modern Western culture misjudges the capabilities of introverted people, leading to a waste of talent, energy, and happiness.[20] Cain describes how society is biased against introverts, and that, with people being taught from childhood that to be sociable is to be happy, introversion is now considered "somewhere between a disappointment and pathology".

How can people get blamed only because they do not much talk, even though they not doing something immoral...
