Not a dating app or a matrimonial website, but Reddit has become the platform of choice for a 30-year-old Bengaluru woman looking for her ideal husband. The woman, who earns around Rs 55 lakh per annum, is seeking a partner with a similar salary and has listed five key requirements for her prospective husband. In a Reddit post, the woman shared two pictures of herself with her face blurred, along with details about her background, career, lifestyle and marriage preferences. “30 F - Bengaluru. Looking for a like-minded partner,” she captioned the post.
“Hello everyone. I have posted here a few times and got comments saying that I don't respond or don't have decent communication skills. While I agree to the viewpoint, I hope men here can understand the junk a woman's inbox comprises,” she wrote, adding that she had become selective about whom she engaged with because of unpleasant messages. However, she said she had now decided to change her approach and explore different avenues to find a suitable partner.
