Re: Desis with Goris. (inter-racial dating)
okay i live in ireland, we dont have many desis here. my parents are like pretty hardcore muslims. however i do go out with white chicks etc (actually i ONLY go out with white chicks, never gone out with a desi... no racist... i just havent come across one that i like) parents dont know about it (i dont live at home unless im off college, i live on campus), i dont have an "exlusive" gf right now, but last chick i was dating (and still sorta hook up with) had an ex who was indian, so there are desis (specially indians) who do land white girls, but im wondering if its common?
So far.... what you are talking about is pretty common. I am hard pressed to find a guy who went to college and not at some point or another dated or went on a date with a gori. I mean some stick to desis ... and some do not date at all. But in my opinion...that is more of a rarity.
okay now over here you dont see many desis with gori gf's (and actually most desis here dont have ANY gfs, most of em dont have any sorta game, shy guys etc, specially pakistani desis), and those who are with goris, are usually with those eastern euro ones like ones who are in the game for the euro passport, and they're usually married to them.
Here in the US - you do see it from time to time. Whether it is a "time pass" thing or they are really in love is a different story.
now im wondering if this is the same everywhere? is it different in america? are there alotta desi/gori couples? (i know its different in the UK, most desis over there usually go out with desis not goris cause theres a higher saturation of desis)
Like walking around big cities like NYC, Boston, Washington DC, Chicago, etc. ..... you do see it .... but you still see more desi with desi couples more in my opinion. Maybe this is because alot of desis are scared to be seen in public with the gori? Who knows. But yea - you do see it. Not as much with Pakistani guys...definitely more common with Indian guys.
and how is it seen in the society? do you know any desis who have married goris?
I think our generation is more like "whatever...to each their own" . But to the older generation it is still scandalous and frowned upon....but they are slowly coming around as well..especially if the girl converts and makes an effort to become a "part" of hte family as much as she can.
A few of my dad's friends are actually married to goris. They have kids. Some of these marriages are great. Others not so much. But I could say the same about my parents other friends are are pakistani's married to Pakistanis....
I have gone to couple of weddings where the guy is pakistani and is marrying a gori. People always talk. There is always alot of gossip. But you always notice that the couple never cares. It is usually a girl he fell in luv with and been with for a long time. Usually someone he met during his studies (and in our communities here...most people are in the medical profession as well or something as equally highly educated).
now im all for messing around in my young years, but i dont think i'd ever marry a gori, i dont know EXACTLY why, but... (im not a "player", but most goris i come across tend to be "bar trash" even the ones who are sorta supposed to be "classy" this chick who i was with whos a vet medicine student, had a future etc but she cheated on her ex, and then was with me for a while, then went back to him lol, and now wants to get back with me AGAIN lol)
You are kinda a hypocrite (but u admit it) and you are seriously stereotyping dude based upon your own experiences. There are good and bad girls in every culture.......... hope u are not that shocked by this statement. Maybe if u were more exposed to the desi community you would realize this....and stop stereotyping both cultures?! And my question is since most of these goris that "tend" to be "bar trash" ... then why do u date them? Like why bother?
are desi women more loyal than goris? (we'll have to genralise and stereotype a little here folks, but whats your opinion?)
You can not really answer this question without stereotyping and generalizing which i am not a fan of. Lets jsut say that of all the Desi/Gori marriages I have seen/heard off..... cheating has never been an issue. Other problems yes. But cheating? no.
if you married a gori/gora, would you take him/her with you to visit pakistan to introduce to your extended family? (LOL this is a big no no for me, not happening, one of the reasons that would put me off from marrying a gori)
I personally never was into the whole gora thing. Dated a desi, got engaged to him and will marry him. The end. But I will tell you about what I have heard from other people that have married goris.
First off - ALL of my dad's friends who married goris, take them to Pakistan from time to time...not only to keep them in touch with their relatives...but so that they can also learn more about the culture and traditions. As WELL as THEIR kids. One of my dad's friend actually decided to live in Islamabad because his GORI wife liked it there so much. Yes you read that right. His gori wife WANTED to live in Pakistan. So now, whenever Auntie comes to our house, she is wearing a shalwaar kameez, speaks to my mom in urdu and is the most wonderful and politest lady ever. Actually all of my dad's friends wives are who are Gori, are the most sophisticated and kindest women you will meet. All who have converted to islam and take pride in the fact that they learned/try to learn about Pakistani culture as much as possible as well as the religion. They encourage their children to embrace their father's culture (easier to embrace the mother's since they live in america) and they encourage their kids to learn about their deen and be good muslims.
From what I have seen - they have raised their kids with both American and Pakistani values and traditions with a really strong emphasis on raising them Muslim. Which is kinda the same my parents did too...even tho both of them are Pakistani......
do you think your family would support you if you married a gori/gora? (mine probably will be disappointed and stuff, and will discourage me ALOT and try to change my mind i if i tried marrying a gori but i dont think they will care all that much after a while)
Um no because it is not allowed in Islam for a girl to marry a non-muslim. But if he was muslim ...then eh. They would not like it, but at the end of the day from a religious point of view ... it is ok . They would come around. My mother would be really really unhappy and disappointed tho...and I think i could never even ever see her go through that as a daughter. So yea it has always been my personal decision to marry a Pakistani..never looked gorays way. lol
if you date goris/goras/desi girls do your parents know about it? what do they think? or do you hide it?
never was in this position so cant say. But from what I see - most people hide it until it is time for marriage.
okay dont mean to offend anyone with this thread, i know its a little liberal (even though im politically conservative...) but i wanna hear some input :)
thanks guys
And for your thing that divorce rate is really high in America - yea it is ...because it is easy to get a divorce here and the more girls are getting educated are able to stand on their own two feet, the easier it is for them to hit the road if the marriage heads south. The whole dependency thing is disappearing as well as the stigma. You would be surprised to find the number of desis that get divorced that are of our generation. I'm not an advocate for it...but im not an advocate of the whole "the reason why the divorce rate is higher in america is because people marry for luv" . As someone in this profession - this is not true. Everyone has their opinions and will continue to have their opinions of why the divorce rate is higher in the western countries than eastern countries.
But people do not consider factors such as the how strong the legal structures are here .....women are granted alimony...child support...and there are things in place to enforce them. The stigma of getting divorced here is less than if you were living in Pakistan. My argument that girls are more independent here due to education and income.
I have done and heard of plenty of divorces between pakistani couples. ....... couples that are even of our parents generation. Its sad. But it is life.
Ok. enough of my vent.
