Arab man am dating:keep in touch everyday & tries his best to see me daily,we go to the beach just to sit & talk, out on Friday for some sports activity, jogging 3x a week, he brought me to his house once(thou’ I doubt if he intend to show me to his mother who happens to be out-didn’t dare to ask;I can guess knowing the Arab culture), PDA sya by holding my hands or his arms on my shoulders, very sweet & humble, he said to come along to my country in due time & talks about his family & his work (have seen his workplace)…amidst all these, it’s scary that this may be the typical man of Muslim origin who is so charming at the beginning & “once she is in the cave, I eat her”. Pls. no offense to anyone: check the LAM site (loving a Muslim). It is confusing.Btw, he’s 33 & married once at 21 but long time divorced w/ no child & does’nt want to marry another local-yan ang sabi nya (If this helps) Of cors I am cautious. (tnx)
(We haven’t been that much (I know) so pls. base your insights on what is given above-by these mere signs. TY)

I didn't have any arab bf before and I don't know if I can help you into this but the only thing that i can tell you is, a man is ruled by his desire(irregardless of race), there is a saying that goes like this, if a man is not h***y, feed him a sandwich. LOL. Nwey, your Arab friend might be a good man or the "otherwise", but you won't be able to know this until you give him a chance to prove that all he's showing you is true. I'm not saying that you let your guard down, but see him beyond his race and give him a chance and yourself as well. Just make sure that you will love him enough to embrace his culture and all the stuff that comes with him, good luck!
P.S. Keep in mind as well that it is better to love and lost than not to love at all.

There is some truth to the generalities you heard. In general, there is probably a greater discrepency between pre marital and post marital behaviors in the Muslim (Arab) culture than other cultures. I would not recommend moving to an arab country with him unless you are married for a long time and can be 100% sure. I think that is not so easy. So I would strongly recommend that if you marry, you stay in your country. That way, You can avoid or at least lessen the effect of the pitfalls that you have already heard. Please be very careful.

First of all which Arab country he is from.Second you cannot get out from there country unless your sponsor signs an exit permit,so be care ful and do some research on him.Cos I lived in an arab country and these people brought lot of girls from India and Philippines as house labor and did not treat them right.They were abused and thats all I am gonna say.....so be careful...just check him out .But all muslims are not same.

I would strongly advise against putting even one foot inside a middle eastern country. Women become more like property than people, especially once they are married. I shake my head and wonder about the sanity of people who even go there to work, let alone actually marrying someone from that region.

I heard from a Filipino friend that there are thousands of Filipinos in Dubai (where you are?). Why not mingle with those of your own culture more?
cross-culture relationships have much to deal with later--when you get married. Example: issues of morality, how many wives are allowed:), how men-relate to women, how kids are reared, what religion they will have, etc. these are questions you need to face.
this line is from my filipino friend which i think means "love your own:"
"tanklikin ang sariling atin"

better think ten times than marrying him, all sad stories i heard from the women marrying an middle eastern or arab origin, different culture and the way their treat thier woman,it is your choice , pls be guided righteously and not on financial gains.

Well, you know some culture about them. Keep on searching facts it might help you in deciding whether you accept or not this Arab guy. It is the dictates of you heart and mind if it says it's him. It is to be but if it is not it isn't to be.

Any time you deal with someone foreign, you have to be VERY CAREFUL. I mean all foreginers, be it Arab or anyone else.

Stay the hell away from him. Try dating someone from another culture.
