Arab Women: #9 Loving other women

Oh no, I’m not implying anything related to sexual orientations here ! we still don’t see Arab Lesbian women (yet). What I’m referring to is another phenomenon our beloved Arab women invented and it’s Arab women trade mark !

While you seem to see women from different culutres taking normal pictures near nice landscapes or buildings, or even with friends, be it men friends or women friends,just normal, but when it comes to our Arab women, you notice something strange.

Arab women tend to take pictures with other Arab women, showing undying, poetic love to other women ! It’s really weird and sometimes disturbing to see all girls albums is simply her and another girl friend, with all the lovey dovey comments, while in real life you bet your life it’s not real ! It’s too cheesy and obviously fake.

So if you’re new to the Arab culture, just be cool and don’t get the wrong idea, she’s not lesbian, she’s just performing another holy practice inherited from other Arab women. She have to choose a “best” woman friend, and you will see them hugging and doing all those weird stuff, and expect that woman to one day tell you how frustrated she is from that specific woman.

PS: you might hear Arab guys telling you the cheesy joke over and over again whenever they see two Arab women kiss : I wish I was that girl that were kissed and hugged.

Arab Women: #8 Bad taste in music

As odd as it may seem, but this is something our beloved Arab women society decided to do !

Typically, your Arab women loves to listen to the new song that will maximum stay alive for one month. It’s usually a song by soft-voiced Arab singer, with cheesy lyrics, and music that can be completely composed using a laptop. If the song is not horrible, then it’s probably stolen from a Turkish or Greek or other foreign song.

Just get used to it men, you will have to listen to these songs with your wife in your car, at home, and you will have to accept it as a cell phone ringing tone ! Also, you will have to tell her how influential the video clip on Rotana is, and how you quite understood the profound meaning (as if there’s any) of the clip

This is an example of a song that your Arab woman loved passionately, but neither she nor anybody could listen to this song after one month of its release(I actually couldn’t listen to it at all, but who cares about Arab man’s opinion ) :

Arab Men: #14- Blondes, The faker the better!

After my buddy’s post earlier ( Fake Blondes ) I decided to revenge for my girls out there!

Why do Arab men go “ga ga” over a blondie crossing the street or driving in the street? Why all the attention to a blonde girl within a group? Far most importantly, why do Arab girls go bleach their hair and fake out their looks to become babies? I do that myself but I do it for me, it absolutely suits my skin tone and feature and am a natural blondie (runs in my family), besides I do not walk with hair that looks like an atomic bomb was thrown at! some girls have white – yellow hair, especially Lebanese women.. “trend setters” not!

Don’t you notice the attention an ugly blonde female gets in comparison with a “normal” female? and what’s up with stereotyping? Not all blondes are dumb, those cheap ones give the rest a bad image to fix so men think they are easy in a way and that’s unfair. I was listening to a radio show and in a report, it was mentioned that men’s intelligence is effected while interacting with blondes – they become “slower” because they claim that blonde women are not sophisticated enough for men to try harder to get their attention or impress them! looool! This is where I say WHAT EVER

Back to men; The main reason for women in the Arab countries acting out like that is their reaction towards what they see in the media from fake beauty and poor Arab women try their best to keep up and satisfy or even try to land guys, awkward styles – bad hair coloring – plastic surgeries you name it! I tell you we as women are driven to seek the opposite sex’s attraction but some go way too far and as I mentioned, all is equal when it comes to judgment.

Guys, learn how to distinguish between real genuine females and those who are desperate enough to change their looks – identities just for YOU which can not be named as a sacrifice, it’s sheer stupidity to lose yourself just for anyone out there!

Arab Men: #13- “Funky” hair-dos

What is up with that excessive hair gel use now? It doesn’t look “cool ya man” at all, wet look is hot but if you decide to pass your fingers – comb – stroke a one of those guys’ heads I swear gel would start dripping off their scalps! Leeesh, leesh, lematha!? Something simple and spontaneous would do the trick boys don’t go far with this, mohannad lookalike hair styling :eeekh: sha3r mzayyet and basically flattened down if one could say. That’s the geeky look. Let’s move on to the “hedgehog” hair dos; I know this is not in all Arab countries but where am at, you will be shocked to see what some guys do for attention! high spikes, colored hair! hair with highlights! hair styled with hair dryer! and it’s not just the normal things we see on TV God, I wish I found a picture online but no problems, a task for later on

Boys, gel would ruin your scalp on the long run and defiantly weaken your hair roots resulting in early baldness and now, that is truly sexy!

Arab Women: #7 Photography

Day after day, this is becoming more and more rediculous

If you have a conversation with an Arab woman, any woman, she will be waiting the opportunity to tell you how artsy fartsy she is by saying that she is into photography. It’s not painting or music or writing, it’s the easiest of all: Photography !

No matter how young or old your Arab women friend is, no matter what she does in life, be it a houswife, doctor, or architect, she will tell you how much loves photography.

Now don’t get your Arab woman wrong ! Her telling you that she loves photography doesn’t mean she actually takes photos, it could be that she just sees photos on facebook !

While no respectful artist consider photography as an Art, because taking photos and edit them on your pirated photoshop using photoshop 4 dummies book is not an art.

Composing songs is art, painting is art, writing a book is art, writing poetry is art, anything BUT PHOTOGRAPHY.

You will find a lot of people, specially Arab girls at young ages, in malls and on beach, taking photos of cats, trash cans, Indian people, and old men.  She will post them all over facebook and she will give you links to see the pictures and ask for opinion. Seriously, how artistic a picture of two Indian men at a grocery store can be ?

This is a piece of art:

Arab Men: #12- KERSHA

Just to be honest, this is something that we Arabs share with Americas; Obesity and weight problems amongst the Arabs population – effects me as well of course – but don’t you hear people complaining about their weight and that continuous talk on diets and ways to lose or maintain wait. Mo el akel el mestawrad men the States even if it was low in sugar – low in fat would eventually add a couple of pounds since laziness is an important characteristic of us lately. We sit all day behind screens and after work we’d possibly go eat some place, let’s not forget modern age transportation. Cars fascinate me! I imagine people inside cars while driving sometimes like cartoons, you know like our feet instead of the engine – sorta like the Flintstones mobile

Leave exercise aside, Arab men LOVE those heavy yummy dishes and meals no matter how much they complain about their kersha – tummy – they would never resist a good mansafh, msakhan, koshari, kabsa, machboos! walla the Arabic sweets MmmMmmMmm

Viva le kersha!

Arab Men AND Women: #1- ASS KISSING

Since we were called copiers, might as well tap on an issue many bloggers posted about before and this time as the title indicated; This is not restricted to one gender.

El wasta in Arabic countries is very crucial, you might find yourself waaaaaay up somewhere if you’re backed up by an important person or have the right recommendation. Every single door and even window is opened wide for you because someone “nice” is willing to give his word to someone else just like that.. nothing in return 7asha abadan! People’s lives would drastically change if they find the magic someone to set things on the right track, Good positions, comfortable flawless flow of errands – requests, yes believe it or not even your driver’s license could be out just like that if you know the right guy to approach.

Is it beneficial? In my personal opinion yes to some degree and in some situations but think of those who go through processes the right and legal way just waiting, probably for something that will never happen yet they never give up. I am guilty of having my own wastas; Comes by default because of my gender I can’t help but use my femininity to get some things done and I am not referring to the old fashioned slutty bitchy way, no way! I am tough as steel but some guys just can’t resist me! Ha ha hahahahahahahahahaaa Talk about confidence!

Wasta seeking might result in some sort of butt kissing – tamsee7 jokh -by some desperate individuals besides the conventional “gifts” passed under the table here and there but I witness on a daily basis some kick ass serious butt kissing and I can’t help but laugh at those fools because this would come back later on and bite them in their own butts! They would then wish they had kissed the previously mentioned ones. Some Arabs master this and others make a living out of it abusing any relation they have with others as well as jeopardizing others by overriding regulations just because we have grown so impatient and people became so materialistic (maybe in need) to take something in return of a “favor”.

Arab Men: #11- New Nose Picker

Besides from being grotesquely gross, this habit that makes me sick is something common amongst some men in the Arab society. Long nailed little finger AKA as the Pinky Nose Picker! Ee e e e e eW !

It is disgusting to see a man with long nails (yes, so guys do have to be Metrosexual I guess) but I do not understand the need of having only that nail long

Possible use of the long pinky finger nail:

1. Nose Picker
2. Ear wax cleaner
3. Scratcher – scrapes off things
4. Tooth pick!?
5. Possible assassin weapon
6. Screwdriver
7. Replacement of a utensil (Fork maybe!?)

What else!?

Arab Men: #10- Denial

First is first, I thank both Qwaider and Chikapappi for their support as for those more pessimistic – skeptic ones on our blogging future; Keep tuned in and we shall see if we run out of ideas after all, you inspire us!

No accessories, no live sex toys no more materialistic crap; We’re digging deep boys and this is my attempt to “poke” your manhood:

Most Middle Eastern men either living there or even abroad and no matter how many years they are physically detached from their mother country share the same crappy set of ideology. Excuse me men but you come back after graduating university and tell me “I am open minded” I’d send you off with a couple of curses!

First of all, what does being “open minded” have to do with where you’re coming from?! So guys who never leave their countries carry bricks on their shoulders!? Don’t know or understand the concept of “fun” like you do? Or not as successful with women like you are?! Excuse me but that is not what being open minded is at all, wala even close to it; I actually have a term for this kind of guy but it’s still early to unleash my wild vocabulary :p

Stupidity beyond imagination and false pretense, it’s almost like that are shedding their skins and shaking off their Arabic roots “Yo, ana 3andi passport Canadian – English – American” ! ok kheir ya3ny! Most of the people I know carry double passports and they act normal upon it, it doesn’t make you a hotshot and no hell no, that doesn’t put you above the rest. What you’ve seen in the States or barra isn’t sufficient enough for you to cope in this life and they say “من فات قديمه تاه” and I ain’t translating, someone do it for those non Arab readers.

Why are Arabs funny and here I am generalizing – we sound too be too enthusiastic about our identities yet all our actions reflect the total opposite and some time it feels like we are ashamed of who we are.. what we’ve become.. How the new generations are missing this crucial link between our glorious past and the dark hazy future.. what a shame..

It’s a shame when an Arabic man claiming equality and supporting women rights is probably the same man who’d go home to abuse his wife or simply his partner, girls.. in secrecy while preaching good manners..

It’s a shame when an Arabic man is to be expected to be mdarda7 with females and goes around intentionally hurting women and when it comes time for marriage, that same guy would go pick a gal who’s the total opposite of those he used to date! :$ then he drives his wife insane then she cheats then they divorce… see the cycle?!

Isn’t it funny that Arab Muslim men have no compassion for their sisters and the ladies surrounded by him which in fact makes the later run towards any comforting option AND THEN the same man would have no mercy or continue the bad treatment regardless the feelings of these poor women..

Isn’t it funny when an Arabic man plays a charade in public or even amongst close friends if he has marital / domestic problems and when he’s alone with the Mrs., he takes off his nice mask..

Isn’t it a shame when up till this day, some girls are not allowed to work or go out without a chaperon or denied basic simple rights just because a man thinks it’s haram while he sits there in front of the TV jerking off to Haifa Wahbi or some bitch!

It’s pathetic and I am not humorous this time but I will be “open minded” just because I am a female and respond to your 2 cents on this

Arab Women: #6 Getting fat after marriage

It’s really said that real women have curves, and I do agree, but what I’m referring to here is MORE than just feminist curves..It’s hills and mountains !

While this holds true for both men and women, it’s strangely noticeable in women more.

No matter how tiny and skinny your Arab sweetheart girl is, be careful because chances are, after marriage her size will quadruple in all possible directions.

This was more common in the past, but we still see it nowadays. I think this cartoon pretty much says it all :
