I think there are a lot of negative things associated with it, especially for dating. Like strict, traditional families and customs. I think a lot of guys would assume no sex before marriage and they know muslim women aren't supposed to marry outside of their religion, so there's that.
If you wear a headscarf would you want your children to wear one too? Maybe he doesn't like that. With headscarves in general you have to accept that it's just weird in the west and all his friends are gonna think it's odd. And the same goes for a lot of other customs, like getting up with sunrise to pray, generally praying 5 times a day, ramadaan, polygamy, general attitude to violence. Those are just things that don't really go with western culture and you can't blame a guy for not wanting to deal with it
Depends on the guy. As for the question. Being a Muslim doesn't just mean believing in Allah SubhanatAllah but in his religion too. In Islam. It's not pick n mix.

Personally I dont believe in dating as its prohibited in Islam. But I can't see myself with a man who doesn't believe in mumy religion
I wouldn't date a guy who was Muslim because I meet one of a chat site once who was not nice to me and when I told the guy I wasn't looking to date anyone he was rude about that and laughed at that and he started telling me things that a frieand told him that I thought made no sense
I would like to. There are a lot of really cute girls who are Muslim. I just usually don't know how to interact.
There's a lot of talk these days about people offending other people and being insensitive to others' beliefs. So I'm worried I'll do something similar to walking up to a Hindu and saying "Here, have this burger." and realize I inadvertently was a dick, and then there being a blog by that girl talking about "that racially-insensitive asshole white guy."
Not to mention, I'm agnostic/atheist, so it's less likely I'd be offended by religious people than they would be offended at my mere existence.
But yes, those roadblocks out of the way, I would totally date a muslim girl.
There are white men who are interested in muslim girls.
There are non-white men who are interested in muslim girls.
There are white men who are interested in non-muslim girls.
There are non-white men who are interested in non-muslim girls.
It doesn't make any difference.
Just set up a dating profile online and say you're muslim and only interested in muslim men, and see what's out there.
I don't recommend marrying outside of your religion. That's a deal breaker for me - too much of a culture clash. Think Romeo and Juliet.

Islam would be a huge turn off for most western men, especially western white men.
If someone follows a religion started by a murderous, pedophile bandit... I would not want to be around that person, much less date them. And mohammed was all of that--a desert bandit who raided caravans, murdered people, and raped children. Even muslim sources admit his youngest "wife" was 6 years old when 40-something mohammed "married" her, and 9 or 10 when he first raped her. And this is someone that muslims will kill to defend his honor, the honor of a murderous pedophile.
islam should have stayed in the dark ages where it belonged.
I've briefly dated two Muslim girls before (I mean, not at the same time), but it never went far. I'm not sure I can quite take it to the level of 'serious'. Both were lovely, beautiful women. But if I start thinking about things like having to convert to Islam to marry, and having to integrate into that culture with people believing and following Sharia etc., it just feels too foreign and too many things I would disagree with. I also don't even agree with the idea of women being pressured to cover themselves.
I'm a white guy and I love Muslim girls! There is actually a girl from Pakistan at my school in an exchange program and I really like her, she is smart, funny, and beautiful. It's kinda sad because I don't think she is officially allowed to date me, I took her out but she wouldn't let me buy her dinner... I find people from different cultures 100x more attractive.
I would not for many reasons:
1.) Probably no sex until marriage, something I'm not interested in.
2.) Religious zealots are known to assault male infidels who date muslim girls. I don't really want to be on my guard 24/7.
3.) Since they don't drink, eat specific meat (which is a meat with a prayer on top of it when you think about it) and in overall I have an impression they don't know how to have fun, there are severe limitations where we can go out together.
4.) Sooner or later she will expect me to convert. And I'm atheist. Converting to something would be the most stupid thing I did in my life.
5.) Her family will not welcome infidel.
6.) I love when a girl has beautiful hair. Since they usually wear that veil (which looks alienating to me), I probably won't ever see it.
It would be hard for me to date a Muslim woman unless she was very liberal in her faith. But if you only believe in God, that's not quite Muslim to me. Faith is different than ethnicity. I would have absolutely no problem dating a woman who has a Muslim family background, but who personally only believes in God.
Middle Eastern women are beautiful. I dated an Iranian girl in high school (we actually grew up together since 2nd grade, and now she is a model). Though her parents were Muslim, she just pretended to be. We both were secretly atheists. I personally can not see myself dating a woman who is religious simply because I feel the fights would be constant.
As an atheist, I wouldn't establish a long term relationship with a Muslim because I feel that in order to be married to one I would have to be converted to one, even if that wasn't the case, I never want my children to be raised with religious indoctrination.
Of course. And thats a great attitude toward it's all. Just being human, yourself, and putting your man first. Sounds pretty good to me
As a matter of fact that sounds like the perfect women. Has some faith but not over runner by it
Well, since "muslim" is a religion, not an ethnicity, as long as the "white man" doesn't have any issue with the religion, it shouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, under Islam, isn't your family supposed to murder you with rocks or something if an infidel touches you? You sure you want to risk that?
The girls might be cute physically (assuming she's not wearing one of those curtains over her entire body) but the angry family and religious issues that would probably accompany it would put me off.
pretty sure if the love is there then anyone can look past religion. maybe. im grabbing at million dollar trees here hahaa.
I don't care about someone's religion if they are good people, so yes I would date a Muslim girl. It would be a problem however if there isn't mutual acceptation of religious ideas, so if she would try to convert me or something like that.
"But what if she is not way too religious? Like she is cool about it. for example she just believes in God but doesn't care about religion caz she was born in muslim family."
That's not a muslim girl, that's a secular girl with muslim parents. Big difference.
If she was close to her religious parents, I would not, because they would cause issues. If she wanted nothing to do with her parents and had just been raised in a muslim family, I'd date her.
I'm guessing this is the girl in pink. And yeah, there are some white guys who are willing to date if they are attracted to you.
I have found Muslim women attractive but I know dating those women will be more hassle than it is worth due to their religion and their families stances and so I steer clear of them.
From what I understand I would have to convert religions and I am just not willing to convert to Islam.
You're confusing race with religion.
Some white guys are muslim.
You can date a Bosnian muslim, for instance.
Whether you can date a non-muslim with no problems depends on whether you or your parents are religious or not.
Answered a similar question yesterday, although it was more racial than religious

Pretty sure Muslim girls (that actually practice their religion) aren't allowed to date non-Muslims anyway.
Depends if you wear the hijab or not. I know a lot of white guys who're a little uncomfortable with it.
I have seen some very attractive Muslim women. But even if she was not religious, I would be afraid of the fanatic family members honor killing us and would always be looking over my shoulder in fear.
But it would be nice if we could date without there being such a butt-hurt religion getting "off with their heads" about it.
The chances are really slim. They wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole if you hide yourself under a big cloth in public or if you come from a big family with lots of brothers.
