You've got to be kidding me. In most of the world the man provides and always has. Now the tables are turned and they don't want to do any chores. In every religion you will find the tradition was for the man to pay the bride or her family, because it is the man who provides and the bride's family who has lost some valuable domestic help. Now everywhere women are paying for marriage, and yet everywhere men don't want to do any chores. This is sad for women, even men are losing this way and don't know it I guess.

chaszter when u think about it, it ends up costing everybody money what with wedding expenses that are traditionally paid by the woman's family in our culture (to replace a dowry ostensibly). One way or another, it gets expensive, or so it seems anyway.....

these days with people marrying a little later I notice couples sharing the wedding expense.

Many first time workers are drawn to these minimum pay jobs because there allways open positions. It's a good place to start.

I think that was called a dowry

That depends on the country. There are many Muslim countries where women are paid not the men. I was thinking of all those countries.
Also, Germany and many Eastern European countries used to pay women.

yada yada yada.every site has scammers but majority of folks here are real.

Show off!

I have tracfone, it's cheap and I use it very little. Most of the better jobs i found through friends or family. Some jobs that I had were hard work but I didn't go back to minimum wage work.

i congratulate you on being one of the more intelligent taxpayers in america today...
there are many many people who claim zero during the year and when you ask them why they answer.... because i get such a large return in april ? my advice is for every person to claim 13 dependents on their w2/w4 ? i forget which....and go exempt for the year...the employer will not deduct a single cent of fed income tax......to receive a return at year end is the dumbest possible thing you can do, in effect you giving the govt an interest free loan for the year....it's like paying 900 a month rent daily when it isn't due until the 1st of next month...$30 on the 1st day...$30 dollars the 2nd day and so on and so on...each day the landord is accumilating more and more of your money for his use instead of yours.....thats whats to fools who claim zero with the irs...

I also live in DFW and need a good used car. Where did you find yours?

that tax is deducted from your weekly pay and it is not returned until the following year in the form of a tax return even though it is not due and payable until apr 15 it is taken from each and every check you receive...when you live paycheck to paycheck it makes a big difference....besides when you get your big return you can put it towards your health insurance which you were behind on paying only a hundred a month. which i purposely set at that low number for people who want to argue my figures...

I see Mingle has a forum exclusively for Indians, not for Chinese, Arabs, Germans or Mexicans. That may be because India has a larger English speaking population. Say 10% of our 1.2 billion,that's nearly one third of the entire USA population.

I also see profiles where the Mingle ladies vehemently declare: ‘we are not a ticket to the USA’. Now that to me sounded something like buyer’s remorse and therefore this post.

Maybe the ladies do not relish vegetarians and their curries. You see curries are made of spices and herbs. They also function as preservatives. It’s a traditional diet from the days before electricity and refrigerators. Now imagine having preservatives for b’fast, lunch and dinner. Something’s got to give.

Or maybe the ladies did not prefer a secondary role; roles of a housewife since Indians prefer their wives to sit at home and take care of the kids.

Or maybe, ha ha; the ladies prefer the Viking gods. After all a deer however swift is no match to the lions. That’s natural.

But on the plus side, American technology is powered by the cream of Indians from IIT and such class institutes. A small percentage of the healthcare professionals are Indians. Indian music, Ravi Shankar, Fusion; small businesses and so on. What I mean is, it’s a good bet that the Indian will stay long after the initial attraction has fizzled out of wedlock. He will pay the alimony if things don’t work out; its not in them to abandon their kids. And so on.

So ladies now that it’s out in the open; the question is why not? After all the US is facing a gender crisis with 51% of the American population being women.

i'm in the dfw/ftw metroplex.....you can get a new no frills toyota/hundai.kia type compact for $120 a mon...and $20 bucks a week for gas....if your credit is okay...

or there are plenty of used car places where your job is your credit...but advise against that..(high interest and expect the repair bills to start rolling in pretty quick)

no offense, but where are you living where 200 dollars covers car payment and gas?

metal, I think the common thread in those examples

,with the exception of waste disposal which ANYONE could do but most wouldnt WANT to do,

is the higher pay is in fields where people have the opportunity to get paid for their work, and not for what the clock says,,,,

and they also have a skill which doesn't require an 'employer' middle person to earn their income, they are able to work directly with their customers,,,

employers will rip us off, more than customers will, because they can do so in the name of profit,, whereas customers just want a job well done at a reasonable price based upon the quality of the work

and also factor in the benefits that come with an employer compared to those which are self purchased with trades , as well as how often the work is done,, for instance, teachers have ALOT of time off during the year, including the whole summer, whereas trash collectors,, not so much
