Hi everyone. I'm new here, and I'm just curious about what Egyptian guys think about dating an Asian girl. Right now, I'm really attracted to my new Egyptian guy friend at school...he's funny, sweet, smart, and I just love talking to him! He puts a smile on my face. Oh, and he's also 3 years younger than me (but he's taller and looks wayyy older than me). He's very nice to me, but I don't know if he'll ever think of me as more than a friend. Anyway, so what does everyone think?

Well I don't know for sure, cuz I'm not an Egyptian guy. But you don't want him if he doesn't see your great personality!
If you guys click, you'll click, despite any ethnic/cultural differences...
I wish you the best.

swt0rchid,
I hate to say this, but during the first Ramadan of our marriage all his guy friends came over to look up porn on my PC. Not kidding. Thats why these @ssholes are not allowed in our home anymore.
And most of the porn was of Asian woman. As I white chick I sympathize because alot of men of color get freaky over white or Asian chicks. We aren't people to them but objects and its something they emulate from music videos. I hate it.
And about a guy younger than you. Well it won't go over with his family, friends, so forth. Its a cultural aversion. I am a week older than my husband and he gets so much **** for not marrying a woman at least 4 years younger than him.
And yeah somehow "white is right" has invaded North Africa. Its not cute, its objectifying. Its a form of hatred, self and racial hatred.

Thanks to all who shared your thoughts with me...
~Snoozin,
Hopefully, my guy friend and I will click. *I'm crossing my fingers*
~Tigerlily,
I think it'll be VERY bold of me to ask my guy friend if he likes me in that way or not! I don't want to scare him away...HAHA.
~ben_elias,
What's wrong with Arabic girls? I think they're very beautiful, as are all the women of the world.
~egyptianbeast,
Thanks for your honest input. Now, do you know if this is true for ALL Egyptian men, regardless of where they live, whether it be Egypt, United States, etc? I forgot to mention that my guy friend has been living in the United States for 6 years now, and I'm wondering if Egyptian men living in Egypt and those living in the United States share the same tastes in women? Are there any Egyptian guys living in America who can answer this?

Yeah, that stereotype about Asian women being "exotic" is so overrated. *roll eyes* But whatever, I don't let that get to me. And I agree, porn is DETESTABLE! GRR!

Wow, I can’t believe your husband’s family feels bothered that he’s a week younger than you! That’s not much of an age difference at all…But at least you still got married to him, despite what his family thought, right?

Its a really bad marriage, don't really want to get into right now, but if you stick around a few weeks some old hag will explain it to you.
And somehow its only his brothers who are bothered by it. His parents really are glad I am the one he married. Thats why change will be so tough!

Dear poster, I don't think it is at all boldness to ask him straight if he likes you or not cause then you know exactly where you stand. And you don't have to ask strangers if maybe he would be into you or not.
And I hope you don't have self-esteem problems because you have Asian heritage. Every person is beautiful in its own way. You ARE beautiful.
Now if you are afraid that your question might let him stop the friendship to you then so let it be. But from what you posted so far he will not take it the wrong way.
Overcome your shyness and ask him straight. And who knows maybe he is too shy himself to make the first step.
Again good luck. And keep us posted.

Thanks for your comment, Tigerlily. It's not that I have self-esteem problems about being Asian or anything...I just have self-esteem problems when it generally comes to men. I just don't want to open my heart to him and have him throw it back at me, you know? I'm soo afraid of rejection! So as you can probably tell, I still haven't mustered up the courage to tell my friend how I feel about him...maybe I will in the near future, when I feel the time is right. (Or not at all? ) But for now, I guess I'm satisfied with just hanging out with him and having a good time as friends. Maybe something will blossom between us later? I hope?

Since my last post (which wasn't too long ago), things haven't been going well with me and my Egyptian guy friend. :/ I haven't exactly told him I liked him or anything, since I don't think I'll ever have the courage to do so! But I guess I have been sending him some signals that I'm attracted to him this past weekend...
We hung out in a group this past weekend, and even when I'm talking to other ppl, I can't help but make eye contact with him and smile once in awhile. Furthermore, as I've mentioned in my earlier posts, I said I go to school with my guy friend. So this past weekend, I also called him twice to ask him about homework and an upcoming exam we had, little things like that. But somehow, during the last call, it seemed as if he was a bit distant with me...I dunno. Usually he jokes with me on the phone, but that last call, he seemed like he didn't want to talk to me... :/ Also, I forgot to mention that at school, I like saying hi to him all the time and going to chat with him & his friends during the break between classes. I also enjoy going out to lunch with him as well.
So what do you think---especially the guys out there? If one of your girl pals acted this way with you (hanging out with you, talking with you, calling you) would you have sensed that she liked you from what she did? I dunno...I thought my signals were subtle, but I guess I'm coming on too strong for him? :/
Yeah, so anyway, this week my guy friend has been a bit distant and cold with me. He used to be all friendly with me, but now sometimes, he won't even say hi to me. I try to say hi, but it takes awhile for him to hear me. And we sit next to each other in this one class, and he'll talk and joke with all the guys at our table (yeah I'm the only girl sitting there) and not say one word to me unless I ask him something...Then, he'll give me a short response, & go back to joking with the guys. :/ I feel like I'm so invisible now...
This was what happened earlier this week...on Monday & Tuesday to be exact. And after that, the other days I tried not to say hi to him at all or go over to hang out with him at school. I wanted to give him some space I guess, even though I wanted more than anything to hang out with him and joke around with him!
And just earlier today, I saw him and his friend after school and I went up to them and said "Hey guys, how's it going?" I tried to act as if things were normal between us. His friend was nice to me and said hi and chatted with me for a bit...But my guy friend only stared at me without even a smile or a response or anything. :/ What's up with that?
Are guys this cold with a girl when he senses that she likes him alot? Is my guy friend trying to send me signals that he doesn't like me as more than friends? Even if he can tell I like him as more than friends and he doesn't like me that way, why can't he just pretend that he doesn't know? It's not like I actually went up to him and confessed the feelings I have for him and then demanded him to like me back! Why does he have to be so mean and cold with me? I still want to be friends with him...
Someone help me understand why my guy friend is acting this way please! I feel like crying...:*(

I'm sorry it hurts so much. Can I ask how old you guys are? I think that has a lot of bearing on analyzing his behavior. College or high school?
But generally, it sounds like he feels you are getting too close to him and he doesn't want to be that close. This is his passive way of responding to your friendliness.
Maybe it's time to start turning your eye toward other guys. Easiest way to get over an old crush is to find a new one. Posts: 8794 | From: 01-20-09 The End of an Error | Registered: Dec 2004

SwtOrchid, I suggest you read "Hes just not that into you" by Greg Behrendt, Liz Tuccillo. Its a best selling guide (very recent-2005) about guys and what they do when they are "into a girl."
A guy likes to feel he is the one in control and especially of which girl he wants to be with. Its a pretty standard rule that guys dont expect a girl to call them, and usually it does scare them off- even if it was just to say "is our next test tomorrow?" So far, you may have made a few mistakes already... Hope you can get that book ASAP. GOOD LUCK

Thanks for your insight. And to answer your question, we're both attending college right now...and he's 3 years younger than me.

I would advise you that you remain nice and friendly to him but give him the space.
He probably thinks you are nice to everyone but being nice from a distance, I am sure he must be confused after all the signals you've sent out.
So he is 3 years younger than you.... did he know that you were older than him before he changed?
I don't know why but the Egyptian culture is very conservative to the extend the girl should be younger than the man.... I know we are not talking about marrage here... you just want him to know your feelings....
Don't get angry even he is cold to you. Read books and even forget about him. But be nice and friendly because you never know why he is behaving like this.....

Thanks for your advice, Sora. Indeed, all those times he was acting cold to me, I have tried to remain nice & friendly to him on the outside (but not overly friendly like I used to be)...although I'm hurting on the inside. :/ Although I can't be with him on a more deeper level, I don't want to lose him as a friend...
Well, to answer your questions,
"So he is 3 years younger than you.... did he know that you were older than him before he changed?"
Actually, he did know I was 3 years older than him ...he knew that right off when we first met. As a matter of fact, this one time, we went out to eat with his male friend,(who's also Egyptian) and somehow they started talking about dating older women...And then my guy friend said he would be open to dating a girl who was 2 or 3 years older than him...And after my guy friend said that,his male friend turned to look at me and asked me what I thought about dating a younger guy? And I just blushed a bit and said I didn't know...
So after this conversation, I thought maybe he could be interested in me...I dunno...
Anyway, I'm not really angry at him for being cold...I feel more hurt than anything else.
And I have tried to forget about him over this past weekend...which is so hard to do! :/
*Sigh*...I'm really trying to get rid of my feelings for him, but it takes time, you know? Especially when I have to see him in class every week... :/ But I'll try...

You remind me of myself when I was still a student the university. I use to live in a student house with 4 of my firneds. the house is for 6 so we had 2 total strangers joining us. There was this Post Graduate Student 3 years older than me.... I had a very bad first impression of him but as time went on, we started to become real close friends. I started to have feelings for him..... It was so obvious I had feelings for him and I think I can say the whole city knew..... But I never told him my feelings.... After we both graduated, he went back to his country and so did I. We met only twice after that in Tokyo and Istanbul in the past 15 years. Yes, we are still in contact. He is now a famous journalist back in his country... still single. I am here in Egypt... married. I could have told him my feelings and it did really hurt me then cause I did not know what to do with my feelings.... But I am glad I didn't because then I don't think our friendship would have come far like this. I guess some feelings are best kept inside for a good reason.
I know it is hard but think it in a positive way. And who knows.... he may be having the same feelings with you afterall...

For me I think that it is probably impossible to find an answer to this question, whether a certain ethnicity/nationality/"race" has sexual interest in some other one. This is sexual anthropology at its best. If we say that Egyptians like or dislike Asian girls, it is possible to substantiate this "perception" by referring to similar likes and dislikes among other social groups? this is truly a question about cultural influence on an individual's taste. Is history relevant here? Sonomod wrote somewhere that Egyptians have an historical romance with Europe. Are Egyptians too ignorant about Asia to find it sexually appealing?

But there can probably be found many researches about how sexual desire, ideas about love, etc. are shaped by cultural and social processes.
The question that is interesting here is...what is special about individuals who dare to think outside the norm and for example marry a person of another culture/class/nation/"race".
How have they been "cultivated" differently?

Wow, you brought up some very thought-provoking questions, Anthropos...Now that I think about it, I guess I could say that both Egyptians and Asians are ignorant about each others' cultures to be attracted to each other...initially. Egyptians (and any other Middle Eastern ppl) and Asians are just sooo different from each other! I must say, before I met my Egyptian guy friend (and became attracted to him), I never really noticed Middle Eastern guys nor did I think about dating them! (I'm guessing this situation would be the same if I looked at it from an Egyptian or Middle Eastern guy's perspective...he wouldn't be attracted to an Asian girl right off the bat either, with so many beautiful Middle Eastern girls in front of him!). Well, I must admit, I wasn't particularly fond of hairy men back then...but now, after falling for my friend, I find the hairiness kind of sexy. HAHA...
Anyway, I think when I'm sexually attracted to someone, his ethnicity only plays a partial role in this attraction. Sure, I am intrigued by my guy friend being Egyptian and all...(I just want to know more about his culture! ) But I think his personality definitely drew me in...he is funny, sweet, intellectual, confident, etc. So frankly, when it comes to dating interracially, I am pretty open to that idea...as long as he has a wonderful personality!
On the other hand, I'm not so sure if Egyptian or Middle Eastern guys are really that open to dating interracially...Yes, they do seem to be attracted to American or European women---but is that all? How about Asian, African or Spanish women? I am not even sure what attracts an Egyptian or Middle Eastern guy to a girl...It seems as if most Middle Eastern guys prefer Middle Eastern girls over anyone else...

Sadly, I don't think my Egyptian guy friend wants me in any other way than just as friends...which I don't understand why. It's not like I'm ugly or anything. And I don't think there's anything wrong with my personality...I'm a bit shy, but that's just how I am!
And I think race / ethnicity does matter...at least to my Egyptian guy friend...I think he's more attracted to my Persian girl pal than to me, the Asian girl... Posts: 35 | Registered: Oct 2005

You have to know these things first. Why dont you go to Paris and have holiday there-when he asks where were you say IN France-you know where- your home country!!!! Why hes ashamed of his nationality? Its like some guy told you he is Spanish but really from Mindanao.Would you laugh at him or not?

Hi Melati, actually he thought me some basic language of french, yes he can speak and with proper pronounciation of french language, he said his father is a french, his mother married an egyptian guy when his father died. I met him when he was in france, he told me that he's going to egypt to work and stay with his mother. his name is not an egyptian name, he gave me his home address, he told me that if im going to send a letter to him i will address it to a man with an egyptian name, when i ask him who the man was, he told me that he is her mothers husband, but through my continuos internet surfing, i found out that the egyptian name that he gave was his real name. I dont know what to do, I can't ask him why, he already admitted to me the truth but i really can't ask his reason of lying to me, he knew the truth about me, i trusted him, though i know he is lying i still can't forget him, coz he is giving me constant communication. and he is even willing to spend for my expenses in going to egypt.

Maybe its like he has 2 names? Like in France he uses his franco name and back home he use his arabic one? I know my ex husband has 2 names-he has chinese one for family use and then indonesian one for everything else.He only gonna use the chinese name with family or other chinese, everybody else gets the indonesian name.Maybe like that? I dont know enough about it in Egypt to comment-maybe someone here?

Well, like almost everywhere, being Black in Egypt isn't easy everyday! There are many African migrants there, who are really treated bad, because they are different, because they are poor, because they may take the Egyptians' jobs...Egyptians seem to like whiter faces (see the ton of make up used by some girls But the topic has already been discussed here, and some African American ladies said they have never faced any racism there, and that the husband's family accepted them warmly. But one close friend of mine, who's black, has been totally rejected by her fiancé's family because of her color. And she faced very bad situations when she was in Cairo. So each story is different.

Oh, and he's also 3 years younger than me (but he's taller and looks wayyy older than me). He's very nice to me, but I don't know if he'll ever think of me as more than a friend. Anyway, so what does everyone think?
But you don't want him if he doesn't see your great personality!

I try to say hi, but it takes awhile for him to hear me. And we sit next to each other in this one class, and he'll talk and joke with all the guys at our table (yeah I'm the only girl sitting there) and not say one word to me unless I ask him something...Then, he'll give me a short response, & go back to joking with the guys. :/ I feel like I'm so invisible now... ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
