First off the boat means a recent immigrant. Its Brit Pakistani term from someone who has recently immigrated, as opposed those born and raised in the U.K. In the North American context, it makes little sense since all local Pakistanis are FOBs.
salam.... wish to hear from any non pakistanian who married or going to marry with a pakistani guy...
I thought this thread related to mixed marriages. Most responses seem to be from Pakistani girls raised overseas marrying Pakistani men from pakistan.
In my own personal experience, mixed marriages never work. Either the partner becomes an overzealous fundo muslim, who critizises everything or anything about Pakistani culture, or else imposes her culture on the spouse. Either way, the Pakistani culture has to go.
My advice, plenty of decent Pakistani girls who are struggling to get married, they deserve a first go.
