Re: Hospitality
It takes time PCG.
The larger the desi community - the harder it is to find and make good friends. Start going out to the local mosque, grad schools events, neighbors, co-worker, gym, community classes are all good places to meet young people.
I know there are tons of desi fashion shows and exhbits in Dallas - Nikkie Nina, etc. All good places to meet young desi women like yourself.
And you meeting with a 20 something desi girl will more than just creepy!!
Really...CM I am not that old...BTW: Coming to her rescue is not going to win you any points...
and being a porno lover n satan worshipper n still calling himself a muslim n telling tohers they do not know what it means to be paksitani and thinks the average paksitani guy is just as slutty as his close freinds n himself is waay waaaaaaaaay more than just creeepy!
Re: Hospitality
^Yikes...so, who's the "hellion" you're referring to there?
Re: Hospitality
Reputation: Social Transmission for Partner Selection
.....As with image and tags, reputation transmission allows the number of agents one has information about to exceed the number of agents one interacts with. Therefore, even with low probability of repeated interaction, the number of altruists one helps is higher, and the probability to receive some help is also higher. However, unlike image and tags, reputation allows (un)trustworthy partners to be known only to cooperators or altruists. Consequently, altruists are enabled to select their fellows, but at the same time they cannot be found out so easily by cheaters........

Didn't you know? Its me! But she got it wrong. I don't worship Satan. Its not possible to worship myself.

My radar detects serious sexual tension in these statements. Hubba hubba!
Re: Hospitality
Oh you think she has the hots for me? That would explain the stalking and reading my posts.
Re: Hospitality
I think?! Mate, its written all over her. And you know what she is going to do next? She is going to play hard to get. Just wait and see.
Re: Hospitality
Re: Hospitality
Wow really? Man I have so much to learn from you. Next she will be insulting more in threads right? Part of the hard to get thing?
LP go play with your dolls or something. The big boys are talkiing.
Re: Hospitality
yeah yeah..going

Oh wow!! I didn't know you had that reputation on GS....
Maybe known as a smartass and troll, but this porno lover/satan worshipper thing.... waah, your reputation is improving day by day CM :p
PCG- one thing thing you might want to wonder is this...you already have a pretty biased anti-desi opinion about desis, as reflected in your previous posts. That said, is it possible that this view of desi hosipitality is perhaps clouded by your own viewpoint about desis?
That said, I think it depends on the person's personality. Like my bhabi is very social. She can move to a new town..infact she just did... and it's been a month now she already has new social network set up complete with a bookclub...of course she's an awesome cook with eclectic interests and perhaps that helps ....
Me...? I'm not sure how hard it would be for me...I never really had to make an effort because it had been set for me via school, or via family friends and my social butterfly bhabi! I never really had to make a huge move anywhere either.
But yeah, I think you should try the masjid and be regular at ProjectDowntown and the MSA. MSA is filled with college kids...but PD has people of many different varieties...at least where I live...I'd also try the workplace...the profession where i'm in is very welcoming to the the people of the same profession...so yours may be the same too...?
I mean it's only been what a FEW days that you've moved to Dallas...can't expect to people to act like your best friends by now...it takes time. Emailing random people?-- I'd rather take the masjid/msa/pD route to meet new peope over that.
Re: Hospitality
PCG you moved to Dallas :pcg:
Why not VA? I would have happily invited you over and introduced you to lots of people.
Re: Hospitality
well PCG, Ramadan is coming up - just find out where the Muslim community iftars are - and show up there.
desi girls (i'm guilty here) are usually biatches when it comes to being friendly with other girls - but hey - if you make the moves, and if i do like you, i will give in..
Re: Hospitality
PCG, have you started working in Houston yet? Most of my desi friends in Toronto are either school or workplace buddies, and I think that avenue should be good enough.
Re: Hospitality
Dallas? I thought you moved to New Orleans? 
Give it some time. Have you tried looking at facebook groups and joining them? I don’t suggest messaging all the people, but you can at least keep track of events. See if there are desi people at the workplace. They don’t have to be Muslim or Pakistani, but when you hang out with one person, meet their friends, and so on and so forth… you might eventually meet some Pakistani Muslim people. Go to the masjid… if you see a girl praying next to you who is around the same age, make some conversation… tell her how you just moved, are there any groups or events she’d suggest and to text you and let you know.
Re: Hospitality
Dallas, huh? I recently moved from dallas two years ago. I'm guessing you are sunni, and if so, I would recommend the richardson mosque to you. I didn't attend that mosque but I found the people there to be very friendly, but I guess maybe because I was already part of the circle cuz I was born in dallas? If I still lived there I would be your friend :)
but if you have any questions about good restaurants or anything, i'm your girl!
Re: Hospitality
...
Some of these responses are just so cute. You guys actually think I have that much time to do 90% of this nonsense?
Ok.
I have a day and half off this week, woo hoo, and guess what I'm spending it doing? Fixing my new-onset constipation, re-introducing veggies into my diet, cleaning and doing laundry for next week, and typing up like 10 reports to be finished by tomorrow.
And you want me to go sit in a masjid and chit chat?
I already tried it. I went for jummah at some mosque. Tried to turn around and talk to some girls, but its hard when everyone is running out of the mosque as soon as namaaz is over. Only the aunties stuck behind to chit chat and most didn't like that I was wearing jeans.
