What would a normal muslim guy think of a muslim woman who has integrated into western culture?

[Anonymous]

My parents are from the middle east but I was born in Australia. I was raised as a muslim but as I got later into my teenage years I really found my families traditions were getting in the way of me embracing the aussie lifestyle.

So even though I still identify as being in a muslim family I do go to the beach and sunbake with my friends in a bikini or sometimes topless, I do go to the gym and wear tight clothing to workout and I will eat pork if its the only thing on the menu.

My family doesn't really like it but at the same time they can see that I do identify very well with Australian girls.

The problem is im stuck between 2 types of guys. Most muslim guys dont want anything to do with me and although im pretty healthy and good looking, aussie guys are worried about getting involved with a muslim family.

Im curious what people here think about it. What do muslim guys think of someone who has adapted to get the most enjoyment in life in the country they live?
What would a non muslim guy think of dating someone who comes from a muslim family but doesn't really follow the belief herself?

They are two type of Muslim you will encounter or meet practicing Muslim and non practicing Muslim
Practicing Muslim will not like you at all.#trust me
Now if u have pork big portion of non practicing Muslim also will not like you
So u small percentage of non practicing Muslim who are like u they might get involved
On other hand base on ur family involvement in ur life Australian guy percentage depends
Usually people make fun of middle eastern girls and guys if they bang u it's for fun that's it.. due to media again depends on if ur Iran or iraq
And when people of other cultures don't act as they own..
Then everyone even their own people consider them as wannabes
So it's better for u to convert into Christianity or other religions or follow anyone path so that u attract right people and ur chosing Islam then lose ur friends first.. take decision base on ur family too

i think its not right to to dress bikini, but there are stuff much more important than this like praying,

"What do muslim guys think of someone who has adapted to get the most enjoyment in life in the country they live?"

its not about adaptation cause there are Australian Muslim women , from pure Australian roots who don't wear this way ,

but to answer your question, here in egypt bikini is normal, so its normal for muslim man to have a muslim wife who is not wearing hijab and wears bikini

I'm on the same boat too as you. I don't get a long with Muslim guys I just don't fit in anymore. My family would like for me to meet a Muslim guy but it's not gonna happen. Muslim guys usually go after what they're family want. They mostly want a good Muslim girl who doesn't drink or date or anything. With non Muslim guys it's a struggle because they don't understand your culture and the rules that you have to follow and respect sometimes and they're afraid of their family when comes to dating a Muslim girl. So it's not fair either way. But I always take my chance with non Muslim guys bc that's where I feel more comfortable and myself. Do what feels right for you. It's a challenge either way but fight for what feels right not for what people want you to fight for.

I think we need to remember that islam and culture are separate. A Canadian muslim will have a slightly different culture than a Caribbean Muslim, Pakistani Muslim. They're all normal muslims. But if you're doing things that are explicitly forbidden in islam... and he's a somewhat devoted practicing muslim you guys are gonna disagree on things/he may not want to be in a relationship with you. You can have western culture and still follow islam

I know Muslim guys that are religious but they don't have the same religious standards of their partner. Would your family accept a non Muslim guy?

[Asker]

Yea I would say so.
There aren't many muslim guys where I live.
(A small coastal town)
So its either that or stay lonely forever haha

My thoughts...,
Religion is relationship between your creator and it is personalized and personalized, we should respect everyone and should not be bringing on common table and collective gathering.
We must adopt the culture where we reside permanently.
I have a girlfriend from southeast Asia she is practising Muslim at the same time ultra liberal too, social drinking, on beach wearing 👙 and topless occasionally depending on beach and party.
So my advice is adop the culture and custom of where you live.

As a Muslim uni student brought up here. I've balanced the lifestyle of going out and religion sorta. I'm not the most religious I guess but I don't drink, eat pork and I pray sometimes. I enjoy going out to party but keep the dating scene closed. I guess I'd just expect the same from a girl. I'm not idealistic though. My lifestyle is a choice (which my friends constantly remind me) but it is one that I stand by. Ramadan Karim.

It seems like even though you were born in a Muslim family, you are not a Muslim at all. No practicing Muslim guys would like to involve with you even if you are the last woman on Earth.

[abdelz]

Just don't bother yourself you're not muslem.. we can born in a muslim family but not being muslim. islam is about principles and acts not just inherited things or talkin arabic.

[SuperiorMan93]

Nothing. the fact of the matter is that there are a lot of us. People that are not practising the religion but still live in a muslim lifestyle
