This is all extremely sad and depressing, but it’s heartwarming seeing these actual people face such situations with grace and humour.
its not depressing for me its refreshing. So many people in the west are disgusting having sex with so many people like dogs. With Muslims we still value chastity
Why sad?!
@@samaa3490 you need to ask why?? people are deprived of their basic freedoms because of an imaginary friend up in the sky
@@LorenzoPrimiterra bro probably believes in big bang theory
@@LorenzoPrimiterra so what? Just because your trash culture has a bunch of homofembois doesn’t mean we want it too
Hey everyone! This episode got really deep in the end, so I’m really curious what you think about it. Let me know in the comments below! Can you relate?
I would say that in Lebanon, specially Beirut in the night clubs or gemaize the things you see are a bunch of nonsense, I worked as a bouncer. And I can tell you that I’m never going back to that street in my life after 8pm, I straight up cannot believe how disgusting it was. It was worse then the biggest orgyyouhaveeverseenontheinternet. I never understood what was the “fun” part of going to such things and now I’m disgusted by them😂
Nothing beats having a drink at home for me.
Thanks for the video and to bring deep conversation without editing. The last subject was well analysed
@@antoniohagopian213 7ach ta3melle.. what have you seen buddy? We live in that area daily and listening to you feels like it’s the devil’s den there.. It’s nothing like that
“Is that even allowed ?” – “Nothing is allowed” 😮
it’s a muslim country we live with islam rules 🙂 from tunisia btw
“Even if you aren’t happy , just stay there for the image and social” 🤐
As a Liberian living in the United States, both Liberian and American society we do show our affection for our partner in public, and when it comes to relationships we can date who ever we choose to be with regardless of the other person background and religion. So at the end of the day you have to live YOUR LIFE how you want to live YOUR LIFE.
Most people outside USA are not like you though
Interesting conversations, i loved this video…I would like to see this kind of video about Caucasian countries..
It’s ok to have 800 sex partners by the time you’re 30 in those countries.
Have a wonderful Thursday, Marina ❤ 🥂
Great video! It’s nice to hear the perspective of arabs that actually have lived and been brought up in those countries. Very valuable!
That was very interesting.
I think this is one of the best discussions I’ve seen here! What’s interesting is, as an American woman I can relate to a lot of the issues surrounding sex because I also grew up in a conservative area (although from Christian influence). Very similar kinds of shame, trauma, and sexism unfortunately, and it can be so confusing to navigate as a kid. Of course, there’s a lot of differences too but overall I could definitely relate to the people here. I hope we can all start supporting healthier attitudes for sex and love, it’ll make our future and our future generations experiences such a better one❤
No thanks the only thing we love is our conservative values. We don’t sexual perverts in our country.
You can’t compare your life with Arabs ,they are BEYOND conservative,you have no idea ,trust me
Brilliant video👏 It turned to be way more deeper and valuable than a hypothetical easy-going / entertaining video about this subject we’d expected. And that’s why I like it soo much!
As an Egyptian this is very accurate and i felt very seen and less alone watching this video, hopefully things change in the future but i am not holding my breath
Very nice discussion!
That was a funny video, and yes almost everything is relatable, but I would say that the younger generation are becoming more free when it comes to dating, having sex, and living together outside of marriage (abroad), and dating foreigners, especially for guys.
Greetings from Jordan!
This is not something to be proud about zina is something so haram
@@mari_000oh boohoo
Definitely not something that anyone should be proud of, very sad seeing how haram is being normalized. Incredible how most have become so weak they are taking the standard of the west over the true and righteous path of the Quran and sunnah, all this is a sign of the end of times ofc
Thank you so much for this very insightful video, I’m glad that you included people from north africa too, lots of love from Algeria
Wow that Tunisian woman is absolutely gorgeous!!
She’s drop dead gorgeous!
Arab dating cultures are quite similar to Indian dating cultures. Very conservative and unfortunately lots of sexually frustrated people living an unhealthy and unhappy lifestyle. Like in Egypt, you get to see a lot of sexual harassment cases in India. I hope India can change for the better in future.
There is a similarity, but in Hindu and Buddhist parts at least it is slowly getting more open minded. I know lots of love marriages, and see couples dating almost every day, yes they may do it not openly but they do it. Many have relations before marriage but not sexually. In arranged marriage dating is knowadays allowed after engagement is settled. Before they would just meet at their actual marriage. I guess it also depends on family and location in India. Muslim community i guess is definitely more conservative.
Also id like to mention that in India gay marriage is legal, which is a big difference to arab countries.
It’s quite obvious why millions leaving these countries
Free Palestine 🇵🇸 Hope Abdullah and his family are okay
He is probably hiding in a tunnel while the women and children die.
I’ve had a Lebanese boyfriend for almost 3 months. He doesn’t want me to meet his parents just yet (they’re Christian). He tells me that his parents are very into their culture and that if he introduces me to his parents, it means he’ll have to marry me in the future. Can anyone who is Lebanese tell me if what he’s saying is credible?
It’s not just in Lebanese but Arab culture in general that if a guy introduces you to his parents, it becomes a large expectation on that guy to marry you as not doing so will lead to a lot of intrusive questions from family members and relatives.
PS: I’m not Lebanese but have tons of Lebanese friends.
