I used to work with this nice Indian guy who was like 5'2" and a total nerd. Can't imagine he ever had a girlfriend. One day he went back to India for a month and he was married when he came back.

His wife was also a total nerd and both of them would have been lifetime virgins in the US sexual marketplace. But now they have 3 kids.

Call me crazy, I'm not a feminist after all, but stuff like that is probably a more substantive and less morally repulsive solution than prostitution.

I once hooked up with this hot Indian MILF. I was kind of angry when she told me she was married. Turns out she had an emotionally abusive husband who cheated on her with hookers regularly, never had an orgasm (from him), and he threatened to take the kids of she left him.

Her husband was a troll. But he went to IIT, was the same caste, and made money, exactly the kind of person that parents want their daughter to marry. Great on paper. She couldn't tell anyone she was close to about this, what would people think?

Literally the only people who she could even talk about this with are random foreigners. "That hot white guy is leaving soon, he's safe, we can hook up and I'll pour my heart out." The look of horror on her face when I told her I lived in Pune was scary.

One of my good friends is in a very happy arranged marriage. When she met them, my ex-GF was shocked to discover it wasn't a love marriage. But lets not act as if it's a perfect solution. It has a lot of very well hidden costs and horrific pitfalls.

I don't think I ever argued that caste endogamy is a perfect system. Every system that pairs men and women has its flaws and the costs of the Indian one are fairly well known and horrific.
