It depends. Have you ever wanted to burn an American flag and shout “Death to America”? Cause that’s a real turn off. ---

I don’t want to be called a girl, either. Especially in the context of “Do American **girls** like to date Middle Eastern **men**?” Bah. ---

That’s probably something that we’ll have to disagree on. In my mind, a “woman” is someone my mother’s age. ---

I find the way you speak English quite funny. The facial expressions- the kind of faces you make while speaking, the accent… I remember Egyptions answering news reporter’s questions during Egypt’s revolution. I was laughing out loud. “Mubarak make broblem. No chobs(job),No brogress, No Money. we broud egyptians.” “Mubarak sell biramids to Amaerica.” No offence brother. I am an Indian, we got our own way of speaking English and it is quite retarded.😃 ---

I had dinner with two Iranians back when the US was still friends with Iran (circa 1978, I think.) One was a very polite guy, and the other was a jerk. I wouldn’t have minded spending more time with the polite one, and I was not at all interested in the jerk. Of course, none of that had anything to do with their nationality, nor would it have affected future decisions about dating someone from that part of the world had it come up. Now it’s a non-issue - my husband doesn’t like me to date. 😃 ---

I find many Arab/Middle Eastern men exceptionally physically attractive, but I’ve never dated one… I haven’t dated much, I tend to get wrapped up in LTRs. There’s no reason I would hesitate to do so, if we were compatible. Not too long ago I considered pursuing something with this gorgeous Tunisian guy I work with, but on levels beyond the physical, I just wasn’t interested. ---

I’m a Middle Eastern man living in the UK and I’m sure someone around here can dig up a pic of me. I’ve been told I wash up pretty good 😃 ---

> [@Acsenray](#): > > That’s probably something that we’ll have to disagree on. In my mind, a “woman” is someone my mother’s age. I’m 36. I may not be ancient or anything but I’m long past girlhood, except maybe in my heart, and in her heart, even your mother is still a girl. But, “girls and boys” is OK and I don’t have a problem with it. It’s when it becomes “girls and men” I no longer like it. I don’t like men calling us “girls” either, as in “Hey girls!” “Hey ladies” works just as well and sounds better. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t go into a frothing frenzy over it. I am just not very fond of it. ---

I’m mixed race and I was taught to judge people for how they treat others. It depends on the person and if he is willing to deal my large Mexican-Anglo American family.
