time for a weird thread!

what is it like to date them? do they have a positive image about white women? if i were to date an indian or middle eastern guy, what would their family think? im not a religious person, would this be a problem?

i feel like a schoolgirl asking these questions but i expect serious answers

[Bigroza]

I think the average white woman in US isn't interested in them

[RerRoktoido]

I think the average white woman in US isn't interested in them

could be, but this isnt what im asking

[DiatryDal]

I think the better-than-average white woman in US isn't interested in them

More seriously.
I don't know for the US, but in Europe where Indians-Mid East are of the labour class, they don't have a positive image of the White woman (or any woman outside their ethnicity for that matter) and/or their family are generally against such relationships, IMO.

Sure that's totally different in the US (Indians and Mid East are generally well-off there I think, some ethnicities like the Lebanese are there since decades, more integrated), or even the middle/upper-class/some isolated cases in Europe.

I am from the Middle East and my parents would have no problems at all if I dated or married a woman of European/western origins.

Be cautious if they want you to come visit their home country.

[tarmpriopay]

If you want to make a good impression with his parents and increase the chance they'll accept you, serve cow urine (room temperature) when they visit.

If they are not from India, take a bed sheet, cut a hole for your eyes and wear that.

[Ekzamenov]

Indians are very grabby when it comes to women likewise with Arabs but Arabs are more cunning and crafty, they sweet talk themselves into your pants and then....Boom!!..........Next Flight....Saudi Arabia!

I have many western friends married to Middle Eastern men, religion was never really the problem but more there was a cultural difference that created some tension. Like difference of food taste, difference in hospitality, extended family relationships ( Middle Eastern/Asian men give great importance to family ties, there are cases where the parents do live with their children and western women not use to this sort of lifestyle have a hard time coping up). My friends are actually convert Muslim females married to Muslim born men, funny thing is most my convert friends are the ones who first became religious in the relationship, most of the time the man became religious after the female and the females are the ones who are more devoted and strict in their beliefs.

What would it be like to date a Middle Eastern guy? Well, if they are anything like me, the experience would not be all that different from dating an American of, say, German, Italian, or Irish ancestry.

It depends on the family. My parents would not care that a girl was not Assyrian, as long as she was a decent person.

I've heard/read a lot about the 'marriage crisis' in the UAE, because the local men tend to marry foreign women (more usually Arabs though, from the Levant generally) and the government now even 'sponsors' mass marriages into their own community:



Always found the Emirati men somehow 'cultured' or 'sophisticated' (you know, a lot into poetry, arts and snobby stuff ), I guess it influences their views on marriages with white women, but don't think that it goes for all peoples in the Middle-East, it's pretty vast and encompasses a lot of different groups and mentalities (an Assyrian will act differently than a Yemeni, for instance)... though I can speak for Indians, and South Asians as a whole, and I think that the post #4 works well.

If you date a Muslim without converting expect problems, big problems. A lot of Pakistanis round here, and I suspect they have the same attitude in other parts of the West, consider White girls to be 'easy' and not wife material. They will have a 'White slag' on the side and then the approved of girl will be their wife.

I know a Muslim who was arrested and charged with the murder of his daughter, she disappeared after she was found to be dating an inappropriate person. The charges were dropped but the girl didn't surface.

I don't know whether this kind of thing is just common among Pakistanis or whether it is a Muslim thing in general.

Sikhs and Hindus probably wouldn't be nearly so difficult to gain acceptance among without converting.

[flueftArete]

I like them. See avatar.

I've seriously dated a swarthy Turkish guy. He was HOTTTTT. I would get comments like "damn girl, you did good!"

He was a great guy too, for the most part. Smart and very romantic. But he cheated on me. I blame the age (he was 20 and too young to settle).

Haven't dated Indian men but I find them very attractive. The ones I've known dressed well, had good jobs and were serious about themselves. Not to mention, they have sultry black eyes.

[RagonaCon]

You shouldn't date Dravidians. I know many, who have married Albinoid chicks, but the whole family cries. It won't pain you as much as him. Of course you can sleep around with them, but please don't get serious.

Well religion is a major issue if a person is religious. If one side is religious regardless of what her/his religion is it would create problems.

Yes government funds marriages if both couples are Emirati. Emirati women ask for high dowry money this could also be a reason why Emirati men were going for non locals.

Gulf Arabs are culturally different form other Middle Easterners, it would be difficult even for me as a Muslim who is aware of the Emirati customs to adapt to their culture

Yeah, but I think the situation between Muslims and non-Muslims, in the UK at least, is very different to the situations involving other religious groups. Honour killings are almost exclusively committed by Muslims.

Honor killings isn't an Islamic practice, its more of a backwards cultural custom.

I don't think a religious orthodox Jew would get a long with an ordinary Brit. It depends on how religious the individual is. Even people that have the same beliefs but different level of religiousness don't get a long, so how would you expect a religious follower of a certain belief to get a long with a person of a different belief.

If a person in general is not a strict follower of his/her religion, can get a long with a person who is likewise not religious of a different belief.

[tutkarussia]

I did put a proviso into my first post to the effect that honour killings are not an Islamic thing, they are probably more a product of a backward tribal society, such as the one Pakistani-Brits came from.

The extremely religious do tend to lock out outsiders, I agree. And fundamentalist Christians would be the same (e.g. Mormons). However, I don't think the "honour" violence goes on in Jewish or Christian sects, at least not as much.

If a person in general is not a strict follower of his/her religion, can get a long with a person who is likewise not religious of a different belief.

True, people are people, the problem is with those who take anything too far. I've said I have no problem with Muslims or Islam, I am not trying to portray Muslims as bloodthirsty, but I think it would be dishonest to say to the OP that dating Muslim men without converting would bring her no problems.

[9mm_fan]

i want to date a middle eastern girl I think they seem cool, but it's hard to catch their attention

[glamourcitys]

my brother is married to a american white women, though she is a convert to Islam. My parents didn't object to that
