1) Complaining about your overtly jealous woman then throwing tantrums when she merely glances at other men in the room. You are not the Sultan and whatever applies to her applies to you as well. Enough with this chauvinistic melodrama.
2) Flaunting your finances when wooing a woman, wining and dining her at the priciest spots in town, ordering the ridiculous magnum champagne bottles and showering her with expensive gifts only to later complain that she’s only with you for your money. You set yourself up for this one honey.
3) Her style is what got you noticing her in the first place, but suddenly you’re not feeling those mini dresses and shorts anymore. You’re on a conservative trip and you expect her to cover-up. Stop those outfit sanctions; you’re not being protective, you’re being a hypocrite.
4) You want a good girl from a “good family” yet you expect her to join you on those weekend getaways even if she has to lie to her parents about her whereabouts. If her parents don’t fall for it, you’ll go solo anyways. Talk about having your cake and eating it too!
5) Her BFF just had a rough break up and she’s hitting the town, hard. Suddenly the girl who used to help you resolve a fight with your lady is now being sidelined as a “bad influence.” If you expect your girl to drop her friend just like that then get ready to do the same for her.
6) She was honest to you about her past relationships from the start, yet the closer you get, the more annoyed, jealous and paranoid you start to become with her history. This is not an “honour” issue; your own insecurities are getting the best of you.
Trouble in paradise ?
haha same thought! ivy?
LOL nailed it.
I guess this applies generally to men .. not just middle eastern… let’s just say .. the “cliche” la2ta!
Add to that: He is entitled to his nights out with the guys, routinely on thursday night, to play cards, but when it comes to a girls night in the city, he shows up un-invited.
+ Complains about the way you look if you don’t prep-up + compares you to others, then complains about girls that look over-done when you do.
Lol. You ladies need to ditch the boys and find some men.
And this, kids, is a typical example of stereotyping.
DONT FORGET, that no matter who ended it, they still think you belong to them. its ok for him to move on but not you.
Oh and my favorite is how they claim to be ‘open-minded’ and ‘enlightened’ individuals while criticizing your shorts and the fact that you have guy friends. I’m starting to think an open-minded Middle Eastern is a contradiction in terms
This is a stereotype and general it doesn’t necessary apply to Middle Eastern men, it applies to other men too

Hey! Your article made me laugh. I am an Iranian guy and I found that number 2 actually applies to me. Not any other since I am not conservative. My American GF is always welcomed to wear the sexiest clothes since that makes other guys feel jealous to me
But I think as another commentator mentioned, this applies to other men as well. Also, there really are many girls that are partially (at least subconsciously) attracted to a guy because of his status or money (at least partially!). Imagine, would you date a simple homeless guy? Would you even give him a chance? If you do, you are a 10 ct diamond! But I do know that many ladies, including my GF, would not even imagine dating a guy without any status or money. Even in US, you go to a restaurant, either each pays separately, OR the guy is expected to pay. If you
