"They do not understand romance."
A relationship coach has revealed why she does not date Indian men anymore.
Chetna Chakravarthy took to Instagram and wrote:
“Confession time.
“The reason my single clients find love and can navigate the crazy world of dating is because I’ve been there, done that and my tools are tried and tested.”
In her post, Chetna added a disclaimer that stated that the “opinions expressed” on her account are solely hers.
She added: “They are not necessarily the views of anyone else, especially my family, friends or clients.
“They are not meant to influence or dictate anyone’s decisions and are by no means a rule of thumb.”
In her video, Chetna said: “I don’t date Indian men anymore, and here are my top reasons not to.”
The relationship coach went on to explain three reasons that contributed to her decision.
For her first reason, Chetna said:
“They have not been taught to have difficult conversations.
“When they cannot argue a point, they become quiet and they label the woman as strong-headed, argumentative and aggressive.
“Or then they become egoistic and abusive.”
On her second reason, the relationship coach continued:
“They do not understand romance.
“They think it is planning one dinner date once a month. But they don’t understand that romance is about tiny gestures every single day.
“It is about making your woman feel like she matters and like she is taken care of.
“So it’s not just about buying her big gifts or grand gestures.”
On the third reason, she said: “They do not know how to take care of a house.
“And no, this is not about doing 50-50 in a home or doing the chores in a home every day.
“It’s about stepping up to take care of the home because you live in it too and not because you’re doing a favour to your partner.”

Chetna’s video divided opinion online.
Some agreed with her, with one writing:
“You nailed it, babes… And yet.
“We do find some men raised well… or who raised themselves into this consciousness that is mutually beneficial to each other.”
Another agreed: “I strongly agree with reason 3.”
A third added: “You have some valid points. But it also shows how women have enjoyed patriarchy, and nurture it to pass it on to other generations for their own benefits.
“The way women have raised their own sons for their own benefits and how they make sure that this system continues speaks volumes about them as well.”
However, one person said: “Disagree… I am married to an amazing Indian man!
“Umm, there could be gender differences to some points… maybe you are just talking about your bad experiences but you shouldn’t label it as a country!”
