A video featuring a relationship coach listing out her reasons for not dating Indian men has sparked a lively discussion among social media users. While many agreed with her points, others expressed disagreement. Chetna Chakravarthy begins by stating, “I don’t Indian men anymore and here are my top reasons not to.”
Chakravarthy’s first reason is that Indian men “have not been taught how to have difficult conversations.” She explains that when disagreement arises, they often label women as “strong-headed, argumentative and aggressive.” She further adds, “or then that they become egoistic and abusive.”
Her next point is that Indian men “do not understand romance,” thinking that it involves planning an occasional dinner date rather than tiny gestures that make a woman feel valued and cared for. “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,” she says.
In her third and final reason, Chakravarty points out that Indian men do not know how to take care of a house. “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 are doing a favour to your partner,” she concludes.
The caption along with the video read, “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. There is nothing an urban, educated girl of today finds sexier than communication and presence. #justsaying.”

Since being shared online, Chakravarthy’s post has accumulated over 1 lakh views. In the comment section, one user disagreed, stating, “Disagree .. I am married to an amazing Indian man! Ummm there could be gender differences to some points .. may be you are just talking about your bad experiences but you shouldn’t label it as country!!”
Another remarked, “This isn’t an Indian men issue. It’s a gender issue.”
A person argued, “So let me get this straight, the guy has to support you emotionally, take care of you, and take care of the house. Not 50-50. Please tell us, what exactly do you bring to that relationship, other than a better-than-you attitude. I have a limited understanding of the world, but all those problems, if they constitute as such, are with men universally. Not sure what Indian men did wrong as a country to you, but good luck anyways.”
In contrast, another commenter praised Chakravarthy, writing, “You nailed it babes.. Amazing.”
