You loved The 6 Annoying Dating Habits of Middle Eastern Men, and since I’m all for equality this sequel was only fair.
1) When you first met her at a club she seemed like the most outgoing fun-loving party girl who wanted to grab life by its horns. She made Lindsay Lohan look like a homebody. Fast forward to two dates later and she’s dropping the “M Bomb” on you. Yes, already. She brought up marriage so casually, practically implying it’s a condition. At this point you’re completely oblivious to the trap she just set for you. You would have agreed to anything just to get some . Now you’re about to drop a hefty down payment for that 700 plus wedding, jokes on you! Muhahahaha
2) Excessive complaining followed by a chance of tantrum. Just like Australia is known for its Kangaroos, we Middle Eastern women are known for our soap opera-like tantrums when things don’t go our way. As a rule of thumb, NEVER attempt to win an argument; you will be annihilated for the mere act of trying. And when all else fails- we’ll call in the tears. As soon as you spot them apologize IMMEDIATELY. If you’re not sure apologize anyway.
3) Zero notion of Time. Fake lash application is more complicated and meticulous than you know. (anyone else can’t get than hang of it?) So If you need to be somewhere at 10pm just subtract that number by 3. So 7pm means 10pm. 2 mean 5. Simple math and no one’s late. I love win wins.
4) Drama, we live for it, attract it, crave it, create it, and when all else fails, imagine it. Even if it’s a perfectly nice day and you’re having a stroll in her favourite mall, drama still lurks in the shadows. It could her over-protective mother barraging her with calls inquiring about her whereabouts or some random girl shop girl giving her attitude. They ruined her mood and now you and that unsuspecting waitress are going to pay. Brace yourself, put on your headgear and get ready to roll with the punches . Nod and agree (and nod) with everything she says and pray for the shit storm to pass.
5) Part of what makes you a gentleman is your ability to finance everything. If you don’t then you’re either cheap or poor and both won’t do. It’s pretty straight forward
6) No you can not be friends with your ex-girlfriend or any other female friend for that matter even if she’s married with kids. It’s a territorial thing. And all your male friends need to pass a screen test where she will filter them out and decide which ones will do and which will not. No you do not get to have a say.
Did I miss a few?

Ivy Says on Talk of the Town
How To Find Your Soul Mate
Glad you got your game back, miss THIS ivy 🙂
pretty much everything on your list is what happened, I’m Italian/Irish who dated a half Pakistani/Indian woman for 2 years. We went to the mall alot and yes her mom was very protective, and if other woman would look at us, the woman I was dating would give the evil eye look. We actually went to prom together and had the chance of meeting her mom, thought it was going to be a good stepping stone, until the pictures were with other middle eastern girls and I was the only guy. Couldn’t meet her dad because of their tradition.. Fast forward a few months into our relationship and she was talking marriage and having kids, also with the girly girly side, if she didn’t get her way she would whine and whine before the tears started…ugh. She also always played the “man” card because I loved sports, everytime we watched a game she would go “you men” she loved sports too but I guess it was the feminism in her. She was always precise time wise, If I were a minute late to pick her up she would give the annoyed look and roll her eyes, again going back to her parents, she had to lie about everywhere she went when we went out, we took a few trips together and I felt bad that she had to constantly deceive her parents. Money wise though she was pretty wealthy from her parents, so If she sometimes bought dinner, no problem. we frequently ate out once a week. I loved dating her and learning about her culture and spending time with her. But the logisitics and long term reality of us marrying and me being catholic and her being a muslim it just wouldn’t work. If we got married she made a specific command that I had to convert to Islam for our marriage to work. I understood that but I wasn’t gonna do that. I gave up a great woman who was sweet, beautiful, wealthy, intelligent, and knew what she wanted in life, in the end it was a good learning experience
That’s silly Pakistan is not Middle eastern
Americans don’t even know who’s middle eastern plz watch little bit of news
The list explains not only middle eastern women but also all female kind.
So you are a dude, complaining cuz you didnt get as many middle eastern pussy as you wanted.
Please tell us the truth
Yikes 1, 5 and 6 def resonate with me and I’m not even Middle Eastern :/ Maybe it’s a Muslimah thing too, I swear my Muslim female friends are the biggest divas around! When my sister got married she had the final say on literally everything, she wouldn’t let her poor husband have even ONE tier of his beloved fruit cake on the wedding cake, it had to be ALL chocolate.
If your friends are divas then they are not really Muslimahs.
Darling, this blog post is mildly tongue in cheek so I wouldn’t read too much into it or take offence. There’s more than a dash of hyperbole 😉 Peace, love and have a happy new year ❤️??
Lol this is what ALL middle eastern girls are like! You hit it in the head. I was per perfectly happy dating hot blondes, redhead/white chicks until I decided to marry a Muslim girl. She is totally hot and my parents love her more then me…but sex sucks and she is controlling. I’m also middle eastern but raised in the US…No more Yeager shots, joints and house parties with my boys…did I mention my parents love her??
simply sounds like a living hell. What is a man getting out this exactly?
Haha this article was funny, if one likes stereotype humor (which i do), and i give it that in this kind of humor there is also more than a grain of truth.
i believe lots of girls are like that because they are not allowed to develop their own upright self-appreciation nor are they really respected by ppl around them, so they resort to resort to pettiness and passive manipulative aggression. sadly they are not exactly taught to be upright strong direct and respectful.
my own experience with being romantically involved with a girl from middle east was totally opposite:
she was totally respectful towards me, we had an amazing, honest rapport, i trusted her completely (and vice versa), she was very passionate, forgiving, and money was no issue – she offered to borrow me money should i need it on third day she knew me. she was also very broadly educated, and broad minded … and a damn looker, to me the most attractive girl i’ve ever seen, internet or otherwise! its the type of girl with a big “MARRIAGE MATERIAL” stamped red over her file.
you might say i’m talking nonsense, but the saddest part is: i’m not. the girl is real.
the saddest, because, you can guess it already: the family (aaah with right type of family u don’t need enemies) was obviously against me for many (to me) absurd reasons, but with no lack of compelling force.
long sad story short, we stopped contact. but in unison, and with mutual blessing.
so, no matter the funny article, and no matter the truths it may hold, i felt compelled by “middle eastern” in your article to defend the person whom i find still the most important girl for me.
a person also representative of middle eastern girls at their best!
Kind regards

Hii marko
Iam middle eastern girl and romanticaly involved with american man ,we have same sad story as you are ,my family completly hate him without meeting him.
I will say ,me and him being together for 10 years,yestrday it was our annaversry(yes we married last year)we are completly commited to each other,and i love him so much
Iam sure marko,you and her could make it ,think again
And this is why I prefer Asian/Latina women.
Sound’s like a nightmare; a description of a person with a lot of the character traits of a spoiled brat. This kind of female just sounds very superficial with absolutely no brains.
I would pity the person who was silly enough to go out with a basket case example such as this. Maybe women like this should try living a life and only then go out with someone.
Sounds like It’s not a relationship but really an endurance course.
I met a middle eastern girl who seems like she might be into me. She is hot! But after reading this, I think I will run in the opposite direction. She already has the outgoing charm (which is step one in this entry). No thank you.
what happened to humble, middle eastern christian women?
the big, bad, ugly world got to them and destroyed them?
honestly, this could be applied to almost any girl!
So in essence what you are saying is to date a middle eastern woman you basically have to surrender your rights and freedoms and be prepared to put up with pretty drama while also paying for everything. All the while not having a say and basically being a slave? Have fun finding a guy who’ll cop that
Can I ask why anyone in their right mind would marry a Middle Eastern girl then?
I am currently dating an Iranian woman (she prefers the title “Persian”). She has two distinct personalities: happy and bubbling, and sullen and controlling. She has said she wants to wait for marriage to have sex; she wants me to get a vasectomy reversal so she can have kids because time is running out for her, and I am an older man; she wants to take control of our finances, because she says I waste money (yet she has no problem with me spending money on her). She allows me to go down on her, but she never returns the favor, although she said she “occasionally enjoys it”. Now today she admitted that she can only do it “for 30 seconds”, and that’s all, as a prelude to ‘”regular sex”. So why am I still with her? Is it pure manipulation on her part? She does not and cannot compromise on anything. I feel like I am driving into a brick wall, but I am emotionally committed to her. So what do I do? Do I dump her, or do I demand to have my needs met, so that she will dump me? I had “the talk” with her today about my needs, and her response was “so, if I can’t do what you want, where does that leave us?” I feel like I have no balls. Any input other than “suck it up and accept it” would be appreciate it.
But I still ask the author of this article the question: after everything you have written, why would you as a middle eastern woman rationally believe that anyone in their right man choose to be with a middle eastern woman? Thank you.
That sounds pretty selfish of her . I’m an Iranian woman and I can they are not all like that. When I read all of this I just thought, “what the hell” as I wouldn’t treat someone like that.
Nope, stay with her. You sullied her with your filth and immorality, now you have to stay with her for life. That’s your wife now, and your finances are hers.
I always thought the whole point of having a Mid-E woman was similar to how American Dad portrayed it when Stan decided to take one in. I think all American men want the subservience that we thought was applied to the women there (this can be said for Asian woman too). But methinks that is quickly turning into a myth.
I don’t think this is a middle eastern women thing, I think this is a women thing… the nagging, the traps, the drama, the manipulation and the money hunger, no thank you… short term relationships is the way to go, stay away from marriage and long term relationships. #mgtow
I’m an atheist Iranian and I find this article mostly related to Muslim Arab girls not middle easterns. Please stop creating stereotypes like you have met people from all over the middle east all your entire life.
and here i was thinking that a smart /intelligent/cultured Arabic woman ,some one to love and argue with, do some living , who likes the country would may be the right sort of girl for me ,, lol ,, guess i’ll look elsewhere ,,, note (Aussie property owner cattle/sheep/horses and ,,,2 camels lol,, cheers all for advise. Darren
wow!!! You described my girlfriend to the tee.
Im 34 and she is 24.She is a very pretty iranian and im black.
She was born in the USA,thats what even shock me the most.i guess that makes me understand her more.
Lol im 0art middle eastern and I swear most of it is me
I’m into a Middle Eastern woman and I believe she’s into to me, but I would never pursue it because I’m afraid of that whole culture religious thing. Whoever said this could be for all women must not live in America. The rules and families of Middle Eastern people specially women are WAY different and stick from ours. In some cases I’ve heard the family killing the daughter and the Bf for even dating and they’re not the same race. That whole controlling and financial situation is spot on if you know anything about them. I don’t know too much about this girl, but she seems nice and sweet with a beautiful smile, but I believe dating would be a whole other story. Plus I believe in Jesus any ways, so strike one for me lol ✌
There are also alot of Christian middle eastern people…
Besides u do know Jesus was a Semitic middle eastern guy?!
No wonder Middle Eastern men don’t want the to vote, drive, etc, and keep them in beekeeper outfits.
What a smoldering hot mess! Thanks I will STEEER Clear!!!
Yup, middle eastern girl can do all of these even more because she’s so damn hot and sexy. And if you marry her she’s the best mom, so of course you tolerate her sh** because it’s worth
