I am 23 and i want to get married but the problem is that I can't find the type women I am looking for here. I want a girl who dresses modestly isn't into partying one who enjoys books helping her mother etc the girls in my area are not like this and are all into parties and functions and being all show offy. 

Does anybody here have similar problwms?

That's the type of wife that everyone wants lol   

A punjabi girl started working with me, she was polite, soft spoken, loved reading etc   and then     she told me she drinks and parties    lol

If you want girl around your age group then they will likely  be in their party years. 

These girls reach their epiphany around 27-28 years of age because the big 3-0 is coming. 

That is when.they get very interested in settling down.

You are only 23, why are you in such a rush to get married?

They say you can do Laavan the paath daily and ardaas for a good wife. 

But also look for good girls in strict, conservative families. Usually those families aligned with a samparda or a jatha. Like taksal or nanaksar. But be vigilant, sometimes the girls can decieve their parents. 

Also you can ask a respected Babaji in an organization or jatha to look for a rishta. This is how my sister got married. Because he will know other good, religious families, he will find you those type of ppl. But regardless, it is your responsibility to do a thorough background check and determine compatibility. 

Also i think you are a bit young to be married. Enjoy your sirdardi less, responsibility less days. And start earning kamaii. Start doing early amrit vela, nitnem of all of panj granthi, after school do 5 japji sahibs a day, at least 1 sukhmani sahib daily. 20 mins simran before sleeping.

And you can use this time to learn. Skills like tabla, martial arts, coding, penny stocks, yoga, archery, gatka, cooking, langar seva, welding, woodcrafting.  Listen to katha of all of guru granth sahib ji, read all of sooraj parkash by reading one sakhi a day. 

Read sikh books from authors like bhai veer singh, bhai randheer singh in english ir panjabi.

Go join taksaal or a nihung jatha for a summer. 

Attend sikhi camps worldwide. 

Have fun, widen your horizons before you become a family man.

First thing’s first: I think you’re too young to get married. Since it it is your choice though, I’ll offer what I can here. If it were me in your shoes, I’d get to know people who do seva. The main sevadaars know others who do seva + others who take part in the community. Many of them aren't kesdhari & some are, so the next step is to figure out how to get you two to talk & figure out your compatibility.

Although unfortunate, it’s not surprising that many people your age are busy showing off and partying. They’re at different stages of their life, so you have to go to places where there are people who have the same passions as you do. You’ll find many young Sikh adults your age who volunteer for events in the gurdwara, such as camps, conferences, even kids sporting events.

As was suggested here, a person from a strict family or one that is aligned with samparda/jatha, might not even want to live that way. The woman/man might even be pressured to marry because of how strict the parents are, & the pressure from a jatha group/ santhiya group doesn't help. My family was part of a santhiya group with well-known & respected people in cities surrounding one of the largest metropolis in the world. All it took was one of the young adults to say no to rishta before other young adults in the group expressed the same concern, upon other shared concerns. Many of the parents saw this as a possible threat to their izzat, that almost all of them set up rishtas within 2 years. 5 individuals were married when everyone knew they didn’t want to be & I still wonder sometimes about how many of those who didn’t speak up were pressured/forced into a marriage. 2 individuals ran away (1 of them came back), & I could go on about the other young adults, but the main point is that the Sangat of the santhiya group was never the same, all because of the ridiculous meetings we had to attend where parents thought it was okay to “suggest” (discuss) what other parents should do about their children (adult children). Honestly, whichever lady someone suggests for you, it is your responsibility to talk with her & ask her upfront about what she really wants & then I guess you would ask your parents what to do from there. If she ends up being a person who is doing things to make her parents happy or keep their izzat, keep that to yourself, wish her well, & move on. Don’t bother telling your parents or siblings or anyone else about what she doesn’t want others to know. The last thing we want is chugleeya(n ) & drama within sangat.

Unlike some posts might have you believe, there are many young Punjabis out there who don’t party & don’t show off. Look in the right places & talk to the right people, & you’ll find a good match. Also, try the newspaper ads, hehe. But seriously, there are many matrimonial ads in Punjabi papers. I believe the publisher that uses the bold red font (spelling Ajit I think?) is popular. Your parents will take care of contacting the other parents.

I think sometimes we have misconceptions about what people are like based on the limited time we may see them at the gurdwara.  I met a few girls from the sangat through family and I was surprised that they weren’t vegetarian and drank.  I had made an assumption that people in the sangat were abstaining from those things as the katha always mentioned to stay away.  Another problem with finding rista from the sangat is when things don’t work out either before marriage or after.  Things can get pretty awkward and friends you have known your whole life are no longer talking to you.  The bottom line is you really need to get to know the person and there family as much as possible. I have learned that doing business with people from the sangat is also a bad idea. Their true colours don’t show until you are involved with a dispute with them.

Why don't you ask your parents , who can take the burden away from you and find a suitable girl based on your requirements. (Arranged marriage)

They will do the ground work , to find a suitable partner , from a good family background , etc..etc..

Then the rest is up to you ?

It works both ways , you have to be good yourself as well . Marriage is about compromise , sharing , caring , learning to back off in awkward situations, biting your tongue , love will then develop over time . Having a girlfriend for x amount of years is different than marriage. You only know the true qualities of a person once living together in the same house 24x7. But if ones character is not selfish , it will be your actions that bonds you together for life.

Brother, first of all don't listen to people here when they tell you you're too young to get married at 23. 23 is not too young. It's a damn good age to get married. Damn good. Secondly, the type of girl you're looking for is most girls (in the UK anyway). As Punjabis our brains are wired to think everybody does it if we see a few doing it. No matter what 'it' is. That's why you think 'most' girls are out partying / drinking. 

I'll give you the same advice I give my eldest (he's still young and at school but I'm a man that likes to make plans and lay foundations). I tell him, when it comes to finding a wife, you have to firstly ensure certain pieces of the jigsaw fit. She has to be a girl from the same area of Punjab as us so talks like us, makes food like us and thinks like us. When, and only when, those things are in place you'll know when you've found the one because, when she walks into the room, her feet won't touch the ground. She'll glide like an angel. 

Disclaimer: Of course the danger with that is that she might be a churhel rather than an angel but just remember to quickly check if her feet are pointing backwards or forwards. If they're pointing forward Bobinderjit's yer uncle. :)

    • 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.
