With all the angst in the West, concerning this, a lot of the Eastern traditions of arranged marriages seem interesting. Sure they can be abused, but the skills to attract a partner in single hood are different from the skills to build a happy marriage. I think arranged marriages has some advantages in that it removes the ambiguity. You don’t have to guess if someone is interested in romance or just a friendship. You know from the outset, you are pursuing marriage. In addition, the things that are attractive in that system, such as good habits, stable job, etc are likely more conducive to successful marriage over ability to flirt.
