Re: Saudi Woman's point of view.
Welcome to the Forum. Its nice to hear a Saudi ladies point of view, As a british Male working here in Riyadh,
I can say having been here for 14 months and nearly 4 years in Taif.
Lots of times in Taif the Muttawa used to pester every one.
Now here in Riyadh no problems at all.
I have said before in earlier postings that many compound managers do not allow in Middle eastern gentlemen, but i am not sure about ladies !!! i must admit i havent seen any ladies on my compound.
Once again welcome!!

OMG....
PLEASE PLEASE be careful.
And nobody looks down on you.
They may think you're crazy... but it's admiration.

Re: Saudi Woman's point of view.
when I'm with my boyfriend. What are your thoughts??I don't think anyone will look down on you or see you as inferior!
I don't know why will you even think that! a Saudi colleague of mine is also dating a western guy and she used to say the same
She's also seeing her boyfriend inside the compound but they've manager to meet in public as well, but hey it's the eastern region my friend!
They've been together for almost two years now

Re: Saudi Woman's point of view.
As being a Saudi lady as well , i think the best way for both of you is to escape to a more secure country where u can get married and settle there.
I am in love with a British man but i dare not visit him in his place though i desperately want that .i fear Muttaws..
.
iam a terrible coward
...
Let me learn some thing from you
Thank you

Re: Saudi Woman's point of view.
Hi Saudi girl,
Sorry to hear about your situation, I know its not the same but in the UK I was dating a sikh lad, he was born and bred in the UK but was still very religious- wore a turban etc, I am white, anyway I was amazed at the hassle we used to get when out, mostly from other indians, we were once in a bar and I was in the loo and a couple of indian girls approached me and had a go for taking away one of their men...not violent or anything but very verbal and made our pressence in the bar quite uncomfortable , we were abused in the street quite regularly, and the looks we would get if we were affectionate in public where awful- it made it very hard- and this is in London- the melting pot of cultures! Anyway in the end I had enough- he was under a fair bit of pressure to marry an indian girl and I knew it was never going to be a happy ending for us. He had too much respect for his parents to ever disappoint them long term. And sikhs are meant to be one of the more open religions, however everyone has parents and with them parental pressures can be enormous... Interracial relationships aren't easy, no matter what country you're in, there are still honour killings in the UK( see the link below)- rare but they still happen so bare in mind it isn't always as simple as you may think in other countries, there are social pressures no matter where you are.
That doesn't mean your wrong to want more than what you currently have and I wish you all the luck.
