Girl-Hunting

The following is the generic framework for decision making concerning marriages for choosing a girl

1. She should not prattle too much about her work in the initial discussions. The limit to it will be a function of your expectations regarding the professional orientation of the girl.
2. Even if her profile looks very much professional, but she makes it a point to discuss about your sister’s health, your allergies et al then she must be given a second thought. (She may not do it the first time, but as you move on she should be doing it.)
3. But if she does not look too aspiring but goes on blabbering about her work, her professional ambitions; allow her three tries. Try to move her out of it to areas you think you will like to be discussed after marriage. If she malfunctions; ditch it.
4. What is usually seen is, girls particularly with lesser brand of education will try to say that they want to do big things like someone had got this proposal from a girl who is with IBM in testing and validation, and she wanted to do an MS in Quality Management in USA and settle there. This should not act as an inhibitor. Girls do it to show that they have aspirations, which usually fizzle out once you start probing the veracity of such tall claims.
5. Try to show her all those difficulties that she will face if she decides for you. If she is still ok then you know she may be the one. ( Try this in mild proportion on the ones which are so beautiful that you are ok to put them in showcases, serve coffee in the morning and do a dedicated massage if she tells she has little body ache)
6. She should not be fat. There should not be any distant possibility that at least till the time you have your last kid; you will need to tell her that she might be looking a little fat.

Seems more like a list of do's and dont's for a girl who is about to meet a prospective groom...very enlightening i must say (for us girls that is)....
