@Mona It wasn't just this post also one of your quite older posts about the things you hate about Arabs.. i don't understand why you think their so horrible?? Maybe I did go a little over the top but it just kind of frustrates me how you can hate your own people.. I don't like it.

@Nadia Hello 18 year old Nadia. What was in this post that made it seem so anti-Arab? Are you for real or you cannot understand what I write? If everyone else can, and you can't, then there must be something wrong with you. Seriously.

Seriously what is with you and bashing Arabs?
Like I don’t get it you’re parents may have treated you badly or given you the wrong idea of how an Arabic family is meant to be brought up but I don’t think i know any single Arab that is as miserable as you are.

I love the idea of the way we get married, I’m 18 and not planning to get married till after I’m done with uni and worked a little but like I think it’s cool that we get married young as women.. if your Muslim then this helps a lot.

Even in the west as I’ve lived in Kansas since i was born women that are in their thirties and forties unmarried and single aren’t really happy there was a segment on Dr Phil about this I wonder if I can find the link.. but yeah it’s not JUST Arabs that have these views, you are either a really unhappy women, really insecure or you’re simply not really of Arab ethnicity.

BTW, the “if men do it, it’s okay vs. if women do it, they’re scum” sucks in every culture.

I would say being unhappy with the direction your life is headed, at any age, is bad. If you’re divorced but happy with the result (away from an abusive or cruel partner) that’s all that should matter.

@ Oksana, they forgot the stalker type Actually, I am in trouble big time, cause I don’t like when guys wax, or tweeze their eyebrows meaning hair is good, and I love the accent. The charming prince who smokes argileh, is sweet like honey, with lots of hair, attitude and a big heart like all Middle Easterners….hehe

Firstly, check this – you might like it! – http://www.kabobfest.com/2009/03/13-arab-men-you-should-never-date.html.
Secondly, I always used to believe that first you should find yourself, discover who you are and settle in life by yourself and then find a person to share life with. But recently my father (who is not an Arab, but Ukrainian btw) challenged me by saying that it is more important to find that someone with whom you can share your life with first, and then focus on settling yourself, figuring out what you want to do in life and stuff. Maybe that’s because my Dad got married when he was 20 and is happy with my mom. Somehow I started to understand his point in the last few months. Anyways, it’s a random thought on the topic.
But yea, I agree with you: if you have not found that one man who will be ur husband, don’t jump into marriage. You’ll regret it. Holding my fingers crossed so that some nice Arab man reads this blogpost of yours, and falls in love with you, and you with him and you’ll be happy ever after

@Brian They don't like me because I express my self and tell them I don't like ... whatever. You know what I mean. This is reality. This is the mentality of most Arabs.
