30M Bengaluru | Childfree | On a quest to find my amazing woman with the intention of marriage

CF4CF

Hello amazing women of this subreddit,

I've posted on this subreddit a couple of times over the last 3 months, but I still haven't found my person. The experience of talking to women here ,has given me a good sense of what works and what doesn't going forward and I have optimised the below post based on what works for me and what does not. 

I have a wonderful life, and I'm looking for someone amazing to share it with , so I'm bypassing the games, situationships, and endless texting phases.

Below you'll find precisely what I'm looking for in a partner, and a bit about me. Only reach out of this works for you, otherwise I do not like to waste your time and mine as well. I'll also add the link to my previous post just in case ( FYI: I turned 30 last Sunday**)**

I'm in search of a partner who embodies emotional maturity and independence. I value open-mindedness and appreciate a woman who is not overly influenced by societal or familial pressures. I'm a decent amateur cook and also take care of house chores here and there. Currently living with my grandparents, but planning to move out sometime this year or post marriage.

I'm a social drinker and a non-smoker (quit smoking a year and a half back). Also I'm apolitical.

Why I'm Childfree

I've known since I was 18. A mix of reasons, the state of the world we're living in, watching two of my aunts go through repeated miscarriages only to be pushed harder by family for an heir, and knowing that I'm ambitious and want a partner who is too. A child changes that equation in ways I'm not willing to shortchange either of us over.

Personal Details:

  • Age: 29 M
  • Location: Bengaluru (open to relocating)
  • Height: 5'10"
  • Religion: Hindu (agnostic)
  • Diet: Non-vegetarian
  • Profession: Working in the Data Governance domain with 7+ years of experience
  • Income: 25 LPA

Key Filters:

  1. Age range: 25 to 33
  2. Salary: 15 LPA or above
  3. Religion: Hindu but not overly religious, atheist, or agnostic
  4. Diet: No preference over my partner's dietary choices.
  5. Caste: Does not matter to me
  6. Efforts are important to me and if you cannot do that please do not connect.
  7. Not influenced by societal or familial pressures, and able to challenge patriarchal norms
  8. Open to relocating to Bangalore or moving countries in the future, I see my long-term life outside India, and this is important to me. If you're currently outside India, I'm happy to move to your country.
  9. Should not be a regular smoker, if you do smoke. But prefer a non smoker. If you smoke up, same applies.
  10. I cannot entertain anything like “I want to get comfortable before sharing personal details and I just want text anonymously before that” blah blah blah…. If you know how dating works you should  know already this. My mental peace is important to me.

Also not looking for a fancy big fat wedding. A simple court or temple wedding works for me, though other ideas can be worked out mutually. Rest of the details can be shared once we start talking.

Please reach out only if you're looking for a serious relationship with the intention of marriage. I won't entertain the "let's be friends first and see" approach either. 

Important and non-negotiable: If we connect, I'd like to get on a call within a week rather than text endlessly on Reddit.

If this makes you want to reach out via DM, please introduce yourself properly, not just a lame "Hi" or "Hello." Tell me something real about you.

Also be ready to verify yourself via LinkedIn or a video call. I've come across a good number of fake profiles and scammers over the past year in different platforms, so this is non-negotiable.
