The Brutal Truth About Life!

When I was getting rejected by a lot of girls for marriage, my mother - like all other mothers in the world - would say to me, “Don't worry, you are a Prince and we will find a Princess for you.”

My family members would also console me by saying that it's all about destiny and since our family is quite reputed and we are well settled, you will get married soon.

My reply to my mother and my family members was always this:

“Neither I'm a Prince nor I'm a greek god. And we are not Ambanis. I am very well aware of the fact that I'm about to get rejected in future.”

I embrace the fact that I look much older than my age. And that's why I always was prepared for the rejection because no father would want to marry her daughter to someone who looks quite older than her.

I look like I'm 33–35 years old whereas I'm 26 years old. We aren't filthy rich either. We own a decent amount of land and live a pretty average life. Neither do I have any side business nor do I have a white-collar job.

So, to sum it up, there's nothing extraordinary about me or my family that people would rush to marry their daughters in our family.

In real life, in the real world, away from the social media's sugar-coated sweet shit, your looks and your financial status matter. It just doesn't matter, it matters a lot.

I have transformed from an ugly looking boy to an average looking guy and that's why I know how important looks are.

We have built our new home and have seen people's changed perception of us, that's why I know how important financial status is. The change is clearly visible and evident.

There is enough data to back these claims:

[1] A teacher is more inclined towards a cute kid.

[2] A good looking candidate is preferred over other average looking candidates with same qualifications.

[3] Black people receive more punishments compared to white people.

And, I should not mention all the privileges rich people get because we all know about that. We all know this. We just pretend that it doesn't matter and exist. On social media, we all are saints, unaffected by society's opinions, expectations and pressure.

I'm not saying this because I was rejected many times. I was sure about rejection. I have lived for 26 years on this earth and have faced, experienced and seen similar incidents and discrimination my whole life.

The looks and financial status of someone may not matter to you at this point in your life. But, it definitely will, somewhere, sometime.
