|They may appear to be that at first (specially towards foreign women) but as time passes his 'charm' will be dialed down.
P.S: Stereotyping is bad, isn't it? Take every person as an individual, and do not identify a whole population on one person's traits. All people are different

|| anyhow, Foudsbaby i admire u for loving ur husband so much. i hope ur husband realizes how luck he is that u dont care about big mahr, fancy house, or money. I also married my husband & he had nothing & I was the one working and paying all the expenses. unfortunately we been separated now for almost 2 yrs & he is in his country.
Only Allah knows what will happen in the future. Yes I think it's great to marry an Arab (muslim) man. But sometimes they take advantage of us American converts because we are not materialistic like most Arab women & we will marry them without asking big mahr. but maybe some of them do not appreciate it. but some of them is real good & do appreciate it. Insha Allah, Allah bless your marriage & give you plenty of ajar.

I quite Agree with you Lyardanetz,,,but anyway Ms.FouadBaby,,you are the Most Luckiest Lady...wish you Luck
1. Because he's HOT--and He's GENEROUS!(Just like anywhere else, some are gorgeous, some have been beaten with the ugly stick. Girls, don't go for looks alone! Generous he is, as well as generous with his opinion and what you might consider personal, private information, like the fight you had with him at home yesterday, is perfectly acceptable to tell your in-laws)
2. Because when he loves you, he loves you COMPLETELY and FOREVER (Subjective. Often our western definition of love and devotion are a lot different from theirs. You might think a rose everyday is a show of love; he thinks asking his Mom for advice on how to improve YOUR kebsa recipe though you think its fine is love)
3. Because when he adores you, he will lift you up onto a pedestal and treat you like a queen. (You are the Queen, his mother is the Empress and whatever the Empress decrees trumps what the Queen wants.Nearly ALWAYS. Mother is God in the eyes of a child, especially Arab male children, who are raised to put Mommy on a much higher pedestal than yours, no matter what. Lots of wives can't take that)
4. Because he doesn't believe in adultery and cheating. (No he really doesn't, but be damned sure he thinks you do, even a little bit. And so does that tribe you mention next. Also, why cheat when it is your Islamic right to marry 3 more women? Did you know unless you have a solid reason for him not to marry that other chic, he doesn't necessarily have to have your approval? All he needs is a fatwa from the local sheikh)
5. Because he will protect you entirely and in every way possible! Along with his entire TRIBE!!! ( Yes he will, oftentimes in ways you think are cute at first, and then get progressively annoying as time goes by. Like when walking down a street, he'll shuffle you to the side of the walk that doesn't give men a view of you, or go so far as to cross the street, leave the restaurant, or suggest staying in for the night. As for his tribe, they are protecting him to protect their name, not you, remember that. You are American/British/etc and you will be trash-talked till the day you die.)
6. Because he will work hard and do his best to take care of you in sickness and in health. (Or get someone else to; mostly true, however)
7. Because he has a sense of dignity and honor and self-respect, and that is a virtue. (Just like all men, he has a weak ego. Tread carefully. Be easy on criticizing him or anything he does or says, be careful correcting him or worst...disagreeing with his Mom.)
8. Because he knows how to cook and clean! (Kind of, if eggs and shorabat maggi count as cooking. Cleaning only if his Mom encouraged it; if she was the slave-housewife, then he can't even do his own laundry. Utterly helpless)
9. Because he can get his way through any Jordanian Desert and show you the art of survival! (There's only one. And if we think that using a porcelain hole in the ground as a toilet, showering with a small amount of water, and subsisting on hummus for food is survival, then yes he can. But you gotta have a farm boy for the rest
)10.Because he has a golden, one-of-a-kind character, that you won't find hardly ANYWHERE else in the world! THIS I PROMISE! (Actually, I've found them all over.
)+ BONUS::: BECAUSE HE HATES TO MAKE YOU MAD! AND CANNOT FUNCTION PROPERLY UNLESS YOU'RE HAPPY! (True dat, he hates making you mad because he hates swearing, hates it when you're angry in front of people or his family or in public or at night or in the morning or during prayer.....)
BEWARE!! THESE 10 only apply to certain JORDANIANS of the Original Jordanian Tribes!!!! (Kind of racist, isn't that?) (Arab Bedouins) -BUT ALSO KNOW THAT THERE ARE ALWAYS EXCEPTIONS TO THE ABOVE MENTIONED! SO BE SMART AND USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. (Also, love always trumps common sense. Why the hell else would all of us have married Arabs? LOL!)

Seriously how nieve can you get? My husband is Jordanian ( married 6 years) I’m 39 and he’s 30. he’s awesome but being in an inter cultural relationship takes some getting used to. Even we have 2 kids were still learning together.||It’s so true

|Hahaha. 
I've met one online. He was a catfish first identifying as a "Russian."
And then turned out he is actually Jordanian
I still fell in love with him—I must say, I fell for him deeper. Ever since, he don't want me to get attached. He always tries not to hurt my delicate heart and mind.
But tooo, too unfortunate of me. I really fell hard and asked him about our future. He said we can't be lovers in real life because of religion and strict marriage arrangements of his parents. He said he is only relishing the remaining years of his freedom before gets into the arrange marriage.
To me, he is my soulmate and it breaks me into pieces.
