As a western man what I don’t like about certain muslim countries is how the women oftentimes are forced to dress, or sometimes consciously choose to make that decision on their own.
While it is still their choice in most cases, I feel as though the attire can at times be too restrictive of personal identity and expression which is how men gauge a woman’s attractiveness.
When muslim women wear the hijab it almost gives this allusion of simply being “robotic”. Which is a definite turn off for me because it shows nothing unique about her compared to everyone else in her religion.
If I am to date a woman as a man. I want to choose one that appears unique from everybody else. I want to be able to tell her apart from the rest of the crowd.
So I’m just confused how they ever end up attracting muslim men in the first place.
I mean maybe that’s why so many muslim guys are going crazy for white girls in the USA. With all this revealing clothing we have going on over here.
I simply just don’t see how there is any physical attraction left to be found on a woman if she is wearing the hijab.
I mean no hard feelings there but what else is there for us men to look at?
Obviously most muslim women will still show their face and expect that to be enough but even then peoples’ faces look more similar than different.
ESPECIALLY when those people come from the same culture. Most nations of the earth are still ethnically homogenous.
So why are they still wearing the hijab if there’s nothing that can be sexualized from choosing not to wear it?
I thought the Quran only stipulated that women are to dress modestly and cover their breasts. To the best of my knowledge there’s no official teaching requiring a head scarf in public.
So why has it become so common for muslim women in the first place?
Am I mistaken about the Quran’s teaching?
Or do they just choose to wear it in hopes of repelling interest from outside their religion?

I am trying to respectfully ask in the most polite way possible. I do not intend to offend anyone. I am just trying to better understand the culture and the motivating factors behind people’s decision making. Given the negative implications I listed from a man’s perspective
