FOBS vs ABCD's

We've heard it many times, the term "FOBS", especially thrown at our desi (Indian, Pakistani) community, meaning; Fresh Off the Boat. This term is not necessarily meant to be spoken in a derogatory way, but it is a means of lifestyle or certain look that is defined by "fobs".
What is a fob actually and who are fobs? Are they easy to detect?
Will their appearance stop us in the middle of our work and make us give them an extra glance, thinking that herbal hair oil might be dripping off of their neatly combed hair or that the heavy accent will easily give it away? Vaaatttt izzz your praablem ?!?! ;)

its not without its challenges but then what arranged marriage is a piece of cake? lots of marriages here where both guy and girl are from same outside country aren't always well and great either. all you can do is try to make a good decision when you are choosing someone from there. some families over there the more modern thinking ones in big cities like karachi have more similar thinking to families over here so it may work out with less problems than if the guy/girl has backward mentality straight up from the pind.

Interesting topic...and here's what I think:

Personally, I would not marry a guy from back home. As mentioned in other posts, this is because he would have to start everything from scratch....I would prefer to be with a guy from here who has similar values to me and is already settled, etc. I don't want to feel as though i HAVE to work full-time. It should be an option for me to whether I want to work full-time or part-time. But obviously, if he is here studying or whatever I would have to do all that and that's just not something I would want to feel as though I have to do. Of course, I want to have a career, etc but only on my own terms.

A friend of mine who is 19 (born and raised out west) was recently married (arranged) to a guy back home...so he comes here...it's been more than 6 months and he can't find a job (even though he is well educated from Pak) and so she is currently doing full-time uni AND working just to support the two of them. Her family also helps out, obviously, but really it's not their responsibility and it shouldn't be.

In addition, I think language can also become a barrier. I know most well-educated guys in Pak can obviously speak english but there are still differences. Furthermore, a lot of guys in Pak have different views concerning the role of women as opposed to guys out here. I think this can become a problem.

So basically, all I am saying is that it can work but personally I wouldn't want to marry a guy from back home..
