when you think that I can stay more late than my sister, just cause I am “allowed” to, then that’s - in a way or another - typical.

I do trust my sister el 7amdellah, I know what she does, but did you consider the safety factor? did you consider the society factor? you yourself said something about how “weird” people were looking at you when you were leaving home at 2 am

yes I care abou people and what do they think, not as much as I used to, but I still do, if that makes me typical, then you can call me the typicalist even

Rami, it’s very typical when a guy is able to do anything for the mere fact that he’s a guy and his sister or any other female cannot and shouldn’t because it’s just ‘not right.’

Osaid, what do you mean?

Hi Salida Del Sol…yeah, what a pity!

I totally agree with your post. The majority of arab men are like that. What a pity.

I am not one of ‘THEM’ !!

You touched a sensitive thing. We have to think more, not to leave it for the society to do it all instead of us.

good day

number 5

so if my sister isn’t allowed to stay out too late, how typical is that?

Tamara, you’re right …but still, I believe the majority are like what I mention

Rami, sure you can by typical …instead of your sister, your cousin or even any other ‘Arab’ girl out there… well, yeah true… sometimes the simplest actions are very typical :grin: … and the 7.69% would be what on the list?

Qwaider and Kerry, that’s good to know! what works for you should work for your sisters…

Hi Cynthia, Maybe your ex hung around Arabs :grin:

Hamzeh, again…you’re experiences are just - well you know!

Right?

Ok :oops:

I don’t think there’s any point in trying to respond to this with a “Typical Arab Woman” post. Because I love Arab women :D

I see how my friends here in the US get abused by their girlfriends, fiances and wives all the time. I think about my friends back home and I try to remember just one time that one of them couldn’t do something with the guys “because his girlfriend would be mad”.

I love Arab women! Especially the ones back home. They have just the right amount of low self esteem that a guy looks for :D They won’t invent a confrontation with you whenever they get the chance. They will just nod and say “ok”.

Right?

Hello,

Sounds like my ex…and he wasn’t Arabic. Unfortunately, you speak of most men:)

I am a real typical Arab. I do not like my sons (esp my sons) nor my daughters to do what you have said. As Qwaider, I did grow in all female houshold. Qwaider was lucky, my father was more tough on me than my sisters.
