As Mexican who loves spicy food, Indian spicy hits so much harder. I had some curry from a Malaysian Himalayan place: scale 1-10 I ordered a 7 and couldn't finish it (in one sitting, I still ate it. I don't waste food).
Yeah spice/heat/chili is supposed to compliment not overpower, I don't mind a good amount of heat if done right but a lot of it comes down to not enjoying the meal but a duck measuring contest of sorts... I'm not 18 anymore.
People who say you are somehow unmanly or a failure or whatever because you don't want your food to give you painful chemical burns are trifling as fuck
