Should I consider my mentality and the way I think? ( Middle Eastern men VS western men)?

[Maryamali22]

I hope no one judges me for this, as I am already feeling depressed and confused. I’m in my mid-twenties and live in a conservative Arab country where many men don’t respect women, especially Arab women. This cultural issue makes even good men unconsciously unfair. I am secular and have always been attracted to Middle Eastern men, but had limited experiences due to societal judgment.

At 25, I dated a white guy who was respectful, gentle, and non-judgmental about my lack of religiosity, unlike the Arab men I had dated. This experience made me realize I value these qualities more than physical appearance. Now, I tend to associate Middle Eastern-looking men with negative traits, although I know this isn't fair.

I’ve dated four white men who were all respectful and gentle, even if I wasn’t attracted to all of them. I feel more comfortable with Western men because we share more values, especially since I’m not religious.

I’m considering only dating white (Western) men, not just for their looks, but because I feel understood and comfortable with them. However, I wonder if I should give the small percentage of Arab men who share my values another chance, even if it takes more time.

Am I right for considering only white (Western) men?

Your other questions just confirmed what I suspected, which is that you're full of shit! But where you messed up initially is claiming that Bahrain is a Conservative country. Bahrain is the most liberal country in the Persian Gulf.

Nice try troll

I didn’t even mention Bahrain. I was talking about the Arabic culture. What are you talking about?

[KostasKouvalis]

That's what your profile said. Interesting that you made it private after I called out your bullshit

[Maryamali22]

Honestly, what you wrote to me just proof what I wrote already.
When I say a conservative place, or country, I am not talking about country’s laws or things you can do and things you can’t. I am talking about the society, how local people think. Most of the people in the photos you mentioned are foreigners in the bars. They are not Arabs.
And yes Arabs are conservative people when compared to other societies.

Being conservative is something subjective. Not sure why did you feel offended and you took it personally.

And yes Bahrain is considered a liberal Arab country when compared to other Arab countries; but not when we’re comparing it to a western country. But I was not even talking about Bahrain. I was talking about thw arabic/ Middle Eastern cultuee

That’s fine, you do you, but fair warning that to a white guy your main appeal is being “exotic” and there’s typically a lot you have to explain to the guy in terms of Mediterranean values etc (unless they’re born and raised there by you, in which case they know the stakes for you as an Arab female). Be careful with your heart whatever you do bc some guys tire of the novelty and walk away.

Well you're not wrong about your assumptions here (on average) is all I can say.
