I find Western Asian (and South Asian) women to be extremely attractive and intriguing. However, I am aware that an American dating a muslim woman is a recipe for hardship and complications...

I have been reading the Bahrain is the most westernized country in the Gulf. Can someone tell me the dating prospects in Middle Eastern countries?

For example, is it nigh impossible to have relations with an arab woman while living in Saudi Arabia?

Would it be easier to have a muslim girlfriend if I were living in Oman?

What about Syria? U.A.E.? Qatar?

Is there a casual dating scene in Egypt?




Thanks.

Usually called the Middle East rather than 'Western Asia@.

Convert to the one true faith and marry. That is the only way you are going to get what you want.

Suggest that you read a bit of background. There are these really handy things called 'books' that you find in institutions we call 'libraries'.

Well, according to the official State Department protocols, you can indeed have "relations" with Moslem maidens as long as you first obtain the written permission of every male relative. Rolling Eyes

Is this poster some kind of a troll?

... the unbelievable ignorance of Islam and the Muslim World by Americans never ceases to amaze me... but then it goes right to the top of our government...

It is more than a recipe for hardship and complications for the predatory male... it can quite easily result in her death... even if it is tried in London or Las Vegas.

Middle East is a euro-centric term. You are naming a section of the world due to its relation to you. That's quite pretentious. If you actually read some, maybe you would realize this. Please spare me your ignorant banter.

No, I am not some kind of troll. You need to calm down before jumping on your high horse.

Mind you, I am quite aware that in some muslim familes the female's viriginity is synonymous with her life. However, I was not sure if this were true for ALL countries ALL the time in EVERY SINGLE acre of the said country!

My previous girlfriend of 2.5 years was Pakistani muslim. Her parents found out she was dating a non-muslim person and it got ugly. However, her life was not threatened or anything close to that. We were in upstate New York.

I am not some predatory male who is looking to screw every woman I see. I am a more serious relationship person. My question was quite valid. Chill out.

Times are always changing, and I want to know what the dating climate is in Western Asian countries right now from people who have been in the area.

Thanks.

Can't you read? AbuFletcher's post was telling you that there was NO WAY!!!!!!!! The little eyerolling icon was to show how much of a fool he thought you were.

Generally speaking your cultural ignorance and selfishness are appalling at best.

Do the women of the Middle East the biggest possible favor and stay home.
