[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Pakistani and I see a lot of my very westernized, secular, accomplished girlfriend be single into their 30s.It is primarily due to them being late bloomers. In the SA community, a lot of emphasis in placed on being bookish and academically inclined in certain households. Many Pakistani-American moms who were themselves forced into arrange marriages when they were very young, work to ensure their daughters have more opportunities. They focus on their education and career and career and do not tell them how to be feminine and flirty. There are of course also Pakistani-American girls who are ultra feminine and sought after but they are groomed from a very early age to seek out a wealthy doctor-type husband and are married by the time they finish their college or graduate degree. The bookish academic girls grow up to be westernized and accomplished. Usually around 30 they realize they missed the arrange marriage train and work on their looks to become more feminine and desirable. By that point, their accomplishments, education and independence scares off would be Pakistani suitors and the only ones left are honestly white men. The friends I have who married later married white American men. One gorgeous woman married a much older Palestinian man but divorced 2 years later because she was too independent and westernized for him.She is now single and I hope she starts dating white guys. [/quote] i'm not gonna lie - i don't date pak-americans because i'm too worried there might be some crazy people in their families (here or back in pak). You never know if some third cousin in caught up in ISI or ISI funded terror group. [/quote]
