Why are arab men so possessive?

Question

don't say i'm stereotyping, but 95% of the time arab men are in control of their women. and another thing why is it that when you go to an arab country, all the men are obsessed with women's butts and breasts and they can't keep their hands to themselves. do they have sex? are the mentally sick? arab men, from my experiences are creepy. and why does the woman have to be a virgin but the man isn't, in islam, both of them should be virgin? why do arab men always feel like the have to win and they have to be in control, even if the woman is right? i'm not saying the islam is bad to their women, but arab men are. i have seen many, many cases. i have been to the middle east. you can't say what i'm saying is false.

Answer 1

Before you go around asking offensive questions like this take a minute to study the culture of where people from certain racial groups come from.

All men are NOT obsessed with women's rear ends and breasts. Not only is that an inaccurate assumption, but it's quite rude.

Yes, Arabic men do have sex. Just like the rest of the men in the world.

Yes, SOME Arabic men do have mental disabilities/illnesses. Just like SOME Caucasian, African, and Asian men have the same disabilities/illnesses.

It's not just Islam where women "should" be virgins. Not too long ago, it was the same way here in America, everywhere in Europe and it's still that way in parts of Asia and Africa.

You're question is insulting a culture of people and just because it may not be the right way - or your way - of living, doesn't give you the right to ostracize it.

Answer 2

Are Arab Men Controlling

Answer 3

as an Arab and an Muslim, I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I don't know what kind of Arabs you have met if they cant keep their hands to themselves,but i assure you that we are not like that.we men are not superior to the women. we don't have to be in control or be right about everything. are there men who beat,cheat, and feel like they have to dominate their women?yes but that's like less than 10% of a giant culture,the same as the rest of the world. and it is better if the man and women are virgins. think about it this way. would you be ok knowing some one in the past has seen your husband/wife naked?

Answer 4

If you want us to get "gritty" I guess I have noticed lately that tons of Jewish women go to Dubai (or other ME areas) and hook up with Arab dudes. What is up with that? I told my friend it was like Romeo and Juliet. Nothing more complex than that. Forbiden love compels people. Also, if I might generalize (and make a disclaimer that I am first): I have noticed that when you are a whiteboy American tourist (like me) you encounter 2 kinds of young Arab men. Ones that are really agressive and even try to be rude (never realizing how foolish they are acting or that you are about to do something nice for them) and the Second is ones that are really nice. They give you access to their life, their car, anything they have is yours. Very hospitable. Weird that they fall into those two categories. Also, I like to play "the game." Where we try to rip eachother off. That one is fun. I usually end up losing, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Nothing is better than the negotiation dance. Many Arabs are really smarter than me at some of those things.. but they grow a tad arrogant from all their easy conquests, and thats where I can often sneak up on them with something surprising (like my knowledge of very basic Arabic numbers)

Answer 5

This is ridicules...and insulting the culture of ARABS...and I am not an Arab..but years I am working in this country with my family...and all these years we never ( my wife) had an experience like you have written here...just to see our fingers,,,they are five but each one is different from the other...how can you say that..,? how many nationalities you know them personally to judge THE ARAB....other country men are not interested in butt and breast or what? and how do you know that? any personal experience? like you another one also ''NOT YOU 311" ANSWERED...ur question...from the words he used to answer this question shows basically he doesn't like ARABS..who cares?...if you dress properly no one will stare on those part of your body.,,more over normally Arabs keeps their wives also in a way other country ladies used to get jealous...and they respect them.,and don't JUDGE all of them with what you have seen.

Answer 6

For the most part the men in those parts of the world where Islam is the prevailing religion are conditioned to the ancient premise that the male is superior to the female. It is his role in the scheme of things, according to those religious beliefs, to be the head of the household, the decision maker, the lawmaker and the regulator of all things. By the same token the female is to be obedient to the male (her father, her brothers, the male members of her family, and then, ultimately to her husband). Her role is to be the sexual partner to her husband, the producer, and nurturer of his children. She is to prepare the food, keep the house, serve his wishes and those of other men in his and her families, and generally speaking, to just wait upon their commands.
When a person is conditioned from birth to accept a certain position in life -a certain role- and that is burnt into that person's brain from childhood, what can you expect? That person is going to grow up into an adult, convinced that this is his or her role as simply a matter of fact. It is what has been decreed, based on your sex. Thus the female accepts her role of submission and obedience, and the male (who already has the testosterone lol) gladly dons the mantle of "superior being" and behaves accordingly . He is often astonished at the behaviours of western males and females, and simply does not understand it.
I have lived over there too, and out of respect for their ways I tried to tone down my "western woman behaviours". But naturally a little something slips out from time to time, and it was amusing to w atch the look on the face of some man who was addressing my husband while I was standing beside him, and I chipped in with my ten cents' worth.
An elderly Benghazi man (the equivalent of the American "old country boy") unaccustomed to the newfangled ways of the age in which he found himself still living, asked my husband through an interpreter how many camels he gave for me upon marriage. Our arab interpreter friend told us afterwards with a chuckle that I should feel highly complimented. Evidently it was an indication that the Benghazian considered me a fine enough aquisition to have made me worth a few expensive camels.
There are, these days, some pockets of rare enlightenment within the Islam World, where women are indeed emerging from subservience to play a more prominent role in life. But for the most part, Gender Equality is not a term that has found its way into that world, and it will take some time before it does. But it is very easy for us women, today, to forget that it was as recent as the early years of the 20th century that western women could not vote, were not permitted by law to hold a great many jobs traditionally male dominated, could not run for public office, and when they married, any property they inherited f rom their side of the family was considered to belong to their husband.. There were absolutely no laws on the books for the specific protection of women against the most outrageous behaviour of a rotten husband, and little opportunity for her to divorce him either. We, ourselves are still emerging from a past era in which men also were conditioned from birth to consider themselves dominant over the female of the species. A whooooooole lot of our Western Males, even today, are brainlocked into that way of thinking, and it will probably take a few more generations before we have eliminated that idea entirely from our culture.

Answer 7

OH LORD...well girl let me tell you about them. Experience-wise... I am half-arab and I am from Latin America.
Arab men are VERY possesive, sexist, controlling and it is either their way or the highway. They have that reputation, i know it because ALL of the guys that are arab that I have met are like that. That is why I think more than twice when I meet an arab guy to date because I know in what I am getting myself into. We have a very strong character. But, when they want something, they will do ANYTHING to get it. That's just their nature. And girl they WILL spoil you like crazy until they can have you. They love to spoil their woman. I am not being a hater, b/c I am half-arab, but I know how arab men are. I am not saying that all are like that, but from I have seen/meet/experince, that's how they are. They are very controlling, very possesive.... I really don't know about being obssessed with women's butts/breasts.. That's a first

Answer 8

You are correct in every way. All I can do is offer you my own example of the appalling way Arab women are treated, from my own time in the Middle East.
I saw an Arab man riding his donkey with his young child. The wife was struggling behind the donkey carrying 2x4's and 1x6's, who knows how much weight.
Truly it is a problem.
Well women out there, get busy!

Answer 9

I agree with you arab men are possessive and pushy. They never take no for an answer. I have had a few harass me. They demand you talk to them or date them even after you say no 500 times.

I am not sure but I assume it is from their culture. Control freaks over their women.
