alright alright alright ENOUGH - I hate this "trust" bul*****.

This man did not bomb our country. He is not trying to terrize us. He is not trying to steal our women and earn his green card. Fuc*ing calm down everyone.

I am of Arab decent. My grandfather moved here when he was 20. He worked hard to make a living and provide for his family. He married an american woman and they had 2 children (one of them my father). He learned that american woman have freedoms and it's different here. She learned that Arabic food is probably some of the most delicious cusine and learned how to make it.

My grandfather has bent over backwards to make sure that all the females (and males) in our family have good educations and have opportunites in life that we wouldn't if we had been raised overseas.

The one thing they knew right away - that they didn't have to learn - was that they loved eachother. That was enough.

Yet - everyone like to start out with "i'm not a racist BUT..."

You guys are attractive and dress nice. But I don't like your attitudes. Plus I heard you guys were controlling. And I also don't want any man forcing his religion on me.

I dated one for several years, he was very nice, very loyal, treated me very tender, was a great lover, was extremely generous. He really made me feel like a LADY, the only thing that scared me, was that when he asked me to marry him, he wanted to immediately move back to Saudia and I couldn't handle being draped when going out in public, although he made sure I understood I could wear anything I wanted in my own home. Since I had not been raised that way, it was just too different for me, so I ended the relationship, I was very sad, but I wasn't willing to leave the USA for good either.

He and I talked about the differences between Christians and Muslims, he gave me the Qu'ran and it was very similar to the bible in many places. The Qu'ran even mentioned Mother Mary, which impressed me. He was a very intelligent man, and I was a very young foolish child at the time. Although he was 3 years younger than me--go figure!

Truely Arabs can be great people I know but part of me doesn't trust them but it still doesn't mean I hate you. It just means there will be alot of work done for me to trust you and stuff. I hope I dont offend you because im not trying im just telling the truth.

I'll give you an honest answer. Its not whether you are Arabic, or Indian, or Latino, or African, or Caucasian. Its about personality. If you are mean, then no interest. If you are possessive, then no interest. If you are overprotective, then no interest. Personality makes the man!

It depends on the man, not what his heritage is. If he is nice, honest, smart and all that good stuff, then he's going to make some woman very happy.

In the vibrant loud markets of Rabat, every day young men stroll lazily looking for women they can pick up. Getting an approval signal from a woman he has been following, a young man will slowly advance towards her while she is playing the hard to get game. The man should abide with the unspoken rules of approaching her or he risks complete rejection. She is dodging people while still monitoring from the corners of her eye how the young man is trying slowly to catch up with her steps. The way she looked at him earlier ignited burning excitement inside of him. Finally he walks side by side so that would not attract unnecessary attention for the people around them.He introduces his name while she still looking ahead. He asks if she can listen for a second. She keeps silence. He feels he is nonexistent. He keeps walking and looking nervously around to see if anybody has caught the awkward moment. He summoned his strength again, and asks her about her name. She looks around and then asked why he needs to know her name. "I saw you earlier and I really liked you." He explained. She gave him her name and asked him to say quickly what he needs to say and leave as everybody will soon realize what is going on. " I saw you earlier and I really liked you." He explained, "Can I have your phone number?"

Does he really like her? If you were in her place, you will first think that stranger is a creepy man evading your private space. But let’s assume that you are cool and that scenario is O.K with you. By the way, the above scenario is completely common and considered normal in Morocco. You are now more confused. How he barely knew you and he says I like you! That is not how things go in the U.S.A. That small anecdote should tell where your man is coming from. Your Arab man probably also expressed how much he liked you the very first day you met each other. When an Arab man says I like you in the day he met you, he may be very honest. It is as confusing as it sounds

This starts to change now with the advent of internet which has greatly facilitated communication between man and woman. It has become an escape from the society’s monitoring eyes. However, the ugly truth is that online communication barely helps in developing our face-to-face communication skills. Instead, it may deteriorate our communication skills. Locking yourself in a room and talking behind a screen will never ease the nervousness that comes with face-to-face communication. Many American women complain that their Arab men are very economical with their communication, and I think it has to do with little informal interaction they have with the opposite sex.

Limited informal contact with women has made Arab man rely heavily on their visual sense to decide if he likes a woman or not. If you have ever been to an Arab country, you may have experienced being closely stared on all the time and wherever you go. This can be sometime very uncomfortable in the beginning. It took my wife some time to ignore all those stares while she first came to Morocco with me. So, the Arab man’s checklist to see if he likes a woman is very short indeed. I am not talking marriage, for which he has an extended and complicated checklist. In America, because men have abundant opportunities to speak with women, they have a longer checklist to go through before they can tell if they like a woman or not. The American man's checklist includes what he sees and what he hears during face-to-face communication. He wants a long-legged and slander woman. She should be smart, and not a whiner. He will like her more if she shares the same interests. If she does not like his friends, maybe it is time to move on and look for somebody else. For the Arab man, if he looks at her and he likes what he sees, he will let her he likes her. For him the other details are to be discussed and negotiated later.

In the U.S.A the dating pool is large and diverse. In contrast, in the Arab world, where I come from, the dating pool is limited because pre-marriage relationships are not allowed by the society. And any women not abiding by its rules her value in the marriage market will decrease. Rebelling against the cultural rules will earn her derogatory titles that would not do her any good. Women want to give a chance for men to know them without taking too much risk to be out of the game. This is all about keeping her chances of getting married alive. Arab men and women have leant to dance with the society’s rules. Don’t think that women are asking for help to get emancipated from these rules and embrace the western lifestyle that guarantees freedom in relationship. A Gallup survey showed that the majority of Muslim women reject the western optimized version of relationships. “Though Muslim women acknowledged women had more rights in the West, the study found they didn't want their own societies to adopt Western values. The Gallup study concluded Muslim women tended to regard Western culture as morally corrupt and obsessed with sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.” Abcnews.go.com.

If you are still thinking why your Arab man told you he liked you in the first day you met each other, now you know why. Being able to understand the reason why he expresses his emotions the way he does will clear up a lot of confusion. Lack of understanding puts our brains on an alert mode. Our brain always looks for answers, sometimes any answers. And it is for this reason we jump into conclusions, whether right or wrong, to fill the void created by our inability to connect the dots and find the right answers.
