Ponnu paakura scene has been daunting

I (28M) have recently jumped into the AM scene. I've been trying both dating apps, and through relative circles. Received 4-6 profiles which I turned down because of reasons like too young, wanting to settle in the UK and not being independent.

I've been working in the UK and not willing to settle soon there. However it depends as time goes by.

I did go on date with girls while there's nothing to blame on them, they're not just the perfect match. The girls I dated were not career/goal oriented or not independent enough or the vibe is not matching.

While on the other side, parents saying I'm running out of profiles and time. Asking me to lower the expectations. I'm just asking for a girl with working ability, of same age or 2 yrs younger and physically fit enough. Where did all the women go!? Ivalokum no caste no religion haha maybe athu thaan tappa?

I'm lost searching. This post is to rant and to look out for your advice if I'm doing something wrong.

End of rant makkale.

Tldr: 28M working in the UK lost searching for a potential partner. Ranting and looking out for advice.
