That is their hypergamy kicking in.

They consider apnay as lower value and other men as higher value. 

Yeah, but masculinity counts. I've seen pretty apneean with some white office boy start to twitch and look confused when they've passed by a more masculine apna. 

They have a moment of doubt. Sometimes they try and actually physically distance themselves from the gora. It's funny to watch their and their boyfriends reactions. 

Plus our own bundhays historic chaaploosian towards goray and outright celebration of this (alal jagsaw) doesn't exactly help the girls psychologically does it? That sort of lines them up for this.

Hypergamy is always built on doubt.

These apneean would think , "could I get a better detail" in that case.

This does not really much to do with our bundeh,  it's just the way women are hard wired. They use the "men do it to" as a way to deflect.

I’ve known a couple of divorced Sikh women who remarried with Sikh husbands. It’s harder but not impossible. Yes, as you get older it’s harder - most people in their late 30s and early 40s will have settled into marriage and kids so there’s going to be a much smaller pool of potential matches. 

Also completely agree that the older you are when you get married, the more “set in your ways” you become, which is probably the conflicts arise within families.

You know what. There is a breed of Sikh female who just seems constantly vexed and wants to put the boot into males of the community because of bad experiences. 

Okay I understand this. But if I did the same because I've had x amount of bad experiences with SIkh females - it would just be weird. 

 

Top of the list is this sister: Jasvinder Sanghera

She's a Christian now   you can even see a cross in her necklace.

Some points made here. BUT, the older generation definitely is backwards and will not want a divorcee for their divorced man-child lol. And a lot of "men" unfortunately still follow exactly what their parents say. Let's not be so quick to try and find ways to blame her. 

It's possible to respect one's parents and live up to commitments as a son without caving into every half-baked, destructive idea that crosses their minds.

I know a Singh who threw away an ostensibly "perfect" marriage with a fantastic young Singhni because she had the temerity to give birth to 2 baby girls. His mother instigated a campaign of propaganda and division between her son and the wife, which eventually led to him throwing his wife and his baby daughters out of the house. This is an Amritdhari family through and through. Absolute stupidity. I don't understand how men can be so feeble and generally ignorant to the point where they can't understand they're being manipulated either by their wife or their mother. The clown gets taken to India by his mummy who gets him remarried to someone from there... and this is where it gets hilarious: the first child his second wife gave birth to is also female, lmao. The old bibiya at the Gurdwara were saying things like, "Why doesn't the mother throw her out, too?" to her face!!! ? Savages!

We live in a community where the source of authority is handed to the female.

This has to change.

The first step is to challenge the perception that women can only ever be victims, and victims exclusively at the hands of males at that. The people who push the narratives designed to demonise and cow Asian / minority men are not interested in nuance and reality.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
