My marriage search journey
After years on Muslim marriage apps... here are my totally unofficial, scientifically unverified findings. 😂
🇮🇶 Iraqi: The premium edition. If an Iraqi woman likes you, don't overthink it—just say Alhamdulillah. The only mystery is how Iraqi men dream of a second wife while being terrified of the first. 🤣
🇰🇼 Kuwaiti: Never talked to one, but my Kuwaiti friend gave me a five-second review: "Run." I respect expert opinions. 😂
🇪🇬 Egyptian: Even if she rejects you, she'll do it so politely you'll probably thank her for it. 😅
🇱🇧 Lebanese: I went in looking for a wife... and came out wondering if I needed therapy. 🤡
🇵🇸 Palestinian: Tough, resilient, and built to survive anything. I was looking for a wife, not a teammate for the apocalypse. 😂
🇲🇦 Moroccan: There were so many on the apps that my brain said, "I'll come back later." Years later... I'm still "coming back later." 🤦♂️
🇧🇭 Bahraini: Some of my favorite people in the world. The only challenge is convincing one to move abroad—probably harder than convincing a cat to take a bath. 😆
🇸🇦 Saudi: I actually clicked instantly with one Saudi woman living in Canada, which proved exceptions exist. But overall, it often feels like we're running completely different operating systems. 😂
🇸🇾 Syrian: Haven't had the chance yet, but first impressions suggest intelligence, culture, and maturity. Promising!
Outside the Arab world...
🇵🇰🇺🇸 Pakistani-American: Let's just say... that chapter closed very quickly. 🚪😂
🇮🇳🇺🇸 Indian-American: Similar story.
🇮🇳 Indian (raised in India): Humble, feminine, and refreshingly down-to-earth. Definitely worth keeping an open mind.
🇮🇷 Iranian: Beautiful, and many are deeply religious, but I feel like our personalities would be speaking different languages.
Final conclusion:
I didn't mean to become a marriage expert...
Somehow I ended up writing Yelp reviews for entire nationalities. 🤣
