Cross Cultural Relationships

Post Reply New Topic

You could find a nice Arab girl at home or abroad and she may not be Muslim at all. There are people of all denominations in the Arab countries. Anyways, religion should not stop love, but sadly it does sometimes. Mostly due to social -cultural pressures rather than true religious reasons.

Both of my previous two relationships were interracial.

My first girlfriend was Hispanic, and my second one was Asian.

I think there's the advantage of cultural difference making the difference between NT and AS looking much less important. I find it very hard to find a gf from my own country. Also there's the advantage of meeting women on internet/chatting. It's much easier for an autistic person to chat than to talk in real life, especially in the beginning of the relationship.

Some ethnical minorities are a bit closed though. I mean, in Berlin the Turkish community is huge but many fathers (not all luckily) dont like it when their daughter dates somebody from outside that immigrant community or even when she dates a German. Dito with the local Jewish community, it is quite hard to get in touch with them because they have their own meetings and dont interact in other places that much, so dating somebody there is quite hard when they live in a bit of an own enclave within the city.

However, go to Turkey or Israel and most people will not take religion and such as serious as the Turks and Jews living in other countries, most Turkish girls I met were very open towards seeing people from abroad regardless if they are Muslims or not. Most Turks in Turkey just dont take religion that serious at all, while many Turks abroad seem to be more traditional. I do have the same experience with the jewish people I know outside of Israel who tend to be more conservative than the Israelis I know.

As for dating Arab girls: forget about it if you do live in places like Riyadh or surroundings. The religious police practices a strict segregation of sexes so the only females you will meet or be allowed to interact with are relatives and if you are lucky colleagues. However, most Arab countries are much more liberal, especially Lebanon, Jordan, Morocco, etc. But in some countries the law makes it hard to date locals, rather than the attitude of the locals it is more a legal issue in certain places such as Saudi.
