I'm curious why girls in India are not willing to take risks online. In my experience so far they just stick to texting, and when it comes to meeting in person they unload a bunch of excuses. In most of cases it has to do with her parents or some dumb fear of 'log kya kahenge'. I've noticed that most girls don't even publish their actual photo. Half the time it turns out to be some bollywood actress. What's with all this secrecy?

It makes no difference if I approach them on a dating site or social media. Online dating in other countries is so freaking easy (mostly not required coz it's just that easy to ask a girl out in bars, shops, or trains.. lol). I'm trying to understand if there's a cultural drawback here. Or maybe girls here are just living in fear of rapists and psychopaths?

What's your take on this? Have you experienced anything different? Feel free to add your thoughts, (girls and guys both).

Yes, but I posted this here to get feedback from members of online dating community. Not traditional Indian families following the trend of arranged marriages.
