There are some people who can’t just smoke weed. They need highly complex concentrates that require specialized gear to vape/smoke this stuff that is vastly stronger than what most users would want.
In booze terms the comparison would be between the guy who is fine with a vodka on the rocks vs a guy who needs to create a still that releases the grain alcohol into an ice luge to make their drink which is 2x as strong as the first guy by volume.
When you actually sit down and talk to people in these marriages they tend to be content.
Your suggestion that another culture or religion is “backwards” is a very awkward claim to make as those rarely come from a good place.
My cousin was miserable after his first year in marriage. Our grandmother, who was lovely but not perceptive, told him not to marry her after meeting her the first time because she was dismissive of his perspective. My cousin didn’t think this was an issue until the honeymoon period wore off and then realized his new wife never thought he knew anything.
They lasted 6 years.
OR they come from a culture that does arranged marriages and you are being anti-theist and unintentionally culturally insensitive.
You are aware that arranged marriage is a thing still, right?
Arranged marriages have better results than love based ones in many cultures. It turns out having all your family who have had kids and been married have a clearer understanding of the couples compatibility than those in love.
Love will make you overlook the thing that your auntie would zero in on as a long term problem.
No, you just have to be interesting to talk to, genial, and not look like complete shit.
Be affable
Be interesting
Be presentable
No one dreams about the guy they have to apologize for after you met them

Someone at the end of the day owns the instance in question here. Many might not want the secret service knocking on their door.
