Re: Do girls still get touched up whilst shopping in Pakistan?
ok no worries Aisha :)
Btw, how can one stop being touched up? Is there like a face that can be made? or a certain voice?
I think all ladies should get together and kung-fu the perverts assess!
And its funny how all the men on this forum have been so quiet about this topic.
Re: Do girls still get touched up whilst shopping in Pakistan?
If you look at one of my ghussa wali pics you will know what I mean by the kind of face you should make when going out in the streets in Pakistan lol. Just do that and no one will annoy you 
… I will change my avatar for a minute, check the photo out.
Also, as soon as the vendors find out your from abroad they bump up the price 50% so its good to try and dress low-key. My cousins also think we dress like right paindus when we visit Pakistan but then they are always under the impression that since we live abroad we must wear mini-skirts and tank tops. lameness.
I knowww, same here. But even girls in pak check u out up to down. I would feel so awkward. And they would keep staring even when you know they are staring at you. It's happened several times in khi, my lil sis was all ready to go fight with 2 girls who were staring at us, but I stopped her. I asked my cousin what's up with that, and they're like yea if you don't dress mod, u are bound to get stared and made fun of. I'm like seriously? Do I really need to wear the carpis and sleeveless kameezain tou fit in a MUSLIM country? give me a break! Pak is too westernized to the point that people abroad are actually better!
Re: Do girls still get touched up whilst shopping in Pakistan?
I have a cousin in Pak and when some perv starts staring at her she starts picking her nose. 
Re: Do girls still get touched up whilst shopping in Pakistan?
LMFAO !!! First hitting with handbag and all and now picking her nose ewww … We are such experts at this isn’t it lol
Re: Do girls still get touched up whilst shopping in Pakistan?
Whilegropingand ogling happen in every country and culture, I think in many Muslim countries, it can sometimes be a bit worse because if a wwoman is groped or leered at, she is usually blamed for it. She was dressed too provocatively, or she acted provocatively...you get the picture. Its easier for the guys to get away with it.
That said, its happened to me here in the US. Crowded subways attract perverts like a magnet. If a perv started getting too close to me, I'd look around to catch someones eye and say "Pervert alert!" then glare at and move away from the perv. That would usually cause the perv to exit the car at the next stop. If I was too slow in detecting their move, I'd place the pointy heel of my shoe on top of the perv's foot and shift my weight onto it. "oops....I'm SO sorry about that"
hahahaha ewwww! good technique to get people off ur backs though!
Re: Do girls still get touched up whilst shopping in Pakistan?

ouch. Placing the pointy heel on perv's foot was literal, right?
Re: Do girls still get touched up whilst shopping in Pakistan?
Too bad I don't wear heels!
Really? Haven’t come across many pervs while i ride the subway. losers, annoying guys yeah, but not real pervs. 
Re: Do girls still get touched up whilst shopping in Pakistan?
eurgh last time i went to pak in the bazzar these men kept bumping into mee the same guys so in the end i got mad and swore at them done their besti and then a few other ppl started on them too idiots
Too bad I don't wear heels!
Aisha! imagine the damage you could do if you DID wear heels...
Re: Do girls still get touched up whilst shopping in Pakistan?
I love pakistan but i don't like what we find in it sometimes :(
Stardust lol you make me sound like some killer machine
Re: Do girls still get touched up whilst shopping in Pakistan?
It actually doesnt make a difference if you wear heels or not...something I learned in Kung-Fu class is that the top of the arch of the foot has an extremely concentrated number of nerve endings. Its therefore one of the most painful places to inflict injury upon, even slight pressure on that spot can cause extreme pain.
sara, the wall st line was rife with pervs, it was a popular topic of conversation with the gals at work - how to deal with them etc.
Re: Do girls still get touched up whilst shopping in Pakistan?
ha ha, no no... not killing. just a pain inflicting machine :)
Re: Do girls still get touched up whilst shopping in Pakistan?

Re: Do girls still get touched up whilst shopping in Pakistan?
same problem in london.
as soon as you approach east london you get the stares and the pervs.
Re: Do girls still get touched up whilst shopping in Pakistan?
I don't think Bollywood movies help either. Most of the actresses are so scantily clad.
Most people in Pakistan learn about reproduction because of these movies :( so you can understand why their approach to women is so backward.
