Men after women/women after men

This problem with " staring at women" is a feature built inside their personality, it doesn t matter which country you are. You can find a lot of Middle Eastern men in Europe that come at the beaches sitting down on the sand, dressed as they are in the street, and staring for hours at women that swim or sunbath in swimming costumes.
I try to understand them in a way, as soon as all their life they see only " very dressed females" they are curious to see how a woman looks like.
So all it s about education in family, in schools... with this " staring"! It doesn t have anything in common with your clothes or with your beauty, they stare anyway.
But let s agree, not all of them stare and not in all areas for sure.
And what s normal for some people it s totally wrong for another.

I think you are right about this ..

You are talking about dressing inappropriately and you put half naked photo of yourself on an expat-blog forum. What's that all about? VERY INAPPROPRIATE.

This is a beach pic. I am not moving around wearing swimwear.
and it seems that I did not deliver the meaning of my words clearly...

Mr Amr, the problem is that your words doesn t match with your photo. Here it is not a " holiday impressions forum" to post this type,as a profile photo.
When you ask for decency, you must be a decent person, even in virtual space.

I think it is also in the Quran that men AND women have to lower their gaze. But that is never taught to them, yes women lower their gaze when looking at men, but men not when looking at women.

Even women do stare at other women, I don't like that also. I have been taught not to stare at people, staring is impolite, you can look, but then you look further on. But I think that is never taught to Egyptians.

Olala,

Ok I thing in my opinion Enna is just sharing his feling, so it not about all egyptian & all expat, but it is his experiance & we have to respect that

two points on this:
1. This is an Expat.com, so it a kind of external look to Egypte, & even expat have not the same point of view (exemple Layla), that not to exclud the egyptian from the forum & many thanks for your helps, but some times I feel like I am in Egyptian forum less then Expat one

2. Every contrie has his good & bad aspects so, just give the best image you can

you are right it is in the Qur'an. men are not supposed to stare that is true. its to avoid getting aroused and for respect. but i think its the fact of the traditions as well as religion.

men are definitely dominant in egyptian society and i dont see anything wrong with it, so i think men believe they can look at anyone they want but not act on it. i mean how i see it is the men here look for a wife.  the women cant be so bold.  i want to say that the egyptian men will help a woman with anything if they ask. theyre really nice generally speaking. i dont see the stares as agressive. but i know that if a woman goes to a place that is all men such as a cafe.. then you will get stared at. its all about knowing the culture.
