You mean a typical Pakistani Like Imran Khan who probably regrets marrying against his mothers wishes!

If you talk to a guy, even a cousin, in any private medium, be it facebook or texting, they take it as an invitation to ___

Girl wanted to whine a little about her parents.
And every one started with their own list of complains about pakistan.

Re: What do you dislike about Pakistani Mentality
What I dislike about the Pakistani mentality, apart from an inclination to conspiracy theories and unwillingness to accept our own mistakes, is how easily we resort to violence, or how easily we loose our temper.
I’m glad you brought this up. Why do we, men of sub continental origin, fall prey to such mentality? Is it due to the segregation of genders in our nations, is it due to how our society view the interaction between men and women? 15 years back, I had this mentality, and often find myself falling prey to such thoughts even now.
Re: What do you dislike about Pakistani Mentality
Give it some thought and if you don’t want to go through with it give a firm “no”.. You dig your heels in and don’t budge.. Don’t let them corner you and try and get a sibling, friend or relative to help you if you’re finding it difficult to make them understand..
Re: What do you dislike about Pakistani Mentality
Goes both ways I think. I avoid texting, skyping or facebooking (-ing work with everything doesn’t it, or not) my female cousins who are not married and are younger than me. The older married ones are a lot cooler, heck they were cool when they weren’t married.
One of the things I dislike is when 18+ “kids” act like spoiled brats and expect their parents to take care of them I.e. pay for a big wedding, help raise kids, do their laundry etc. Or when some parents place too much burden and responsibilities on one child (usually eldest son) so he can forget about his own life until all his younger siblings are educated/married off. Having a community culture can be good but it definitely has its disadvantages as well.
Re: What do you dislike about Pakistani Mentality
The constant need to put each other down, just look around, too many examples and the lack of positive thought.
Re: What do you dislike about Pakistani Mentality
Procrastination?
Re: What do you dislike about Pakistani Mentality
This is uber generalization of (male) behavior, majority of people in today’s Pakistan have both male and female friends, majority of them are platonic relationships. Thinking that a stranger is hitting on you when he is only conversing, is depiction of your mentality not the strangers.

Re: What do you dislike about Pakistani Mentality
I think a lot of what is said make sense. Some less than others…
Like that match fixing scenario, I think the poster didnt watch half of the Indian channels when they lose a match. Try it. The poster will find the INDIAN MEDIA more caring and understanding. I bet.
Then there are other things like taking offence and as such. I think its very personal because I have seen both types there.
But to me…
The standing point, the mount Everest, the K2, the pinnacle of Pakistani Mentality is… their collective unwillingness to help their own countrymen.
Yes believe it or not, but its true. So much so that sometimes I refer my own countrymen as mere dogs. Thats not even rhetoric. Dogs are one of a kind, the one that barks on another of its own kith and kin. We pakistanis are somehow true to it in a very peculiar fashion. I have seen it in gulf, in europe, in turkey…everywhere that I have been (or my family’s been) I have found my own kind the most exasperatingly devoured of all human empathy and nationalistic navigation.
Indians, especially the south Indians are a 100 times better in this regard. So as the Egyptians and Syrians and the Europeans. Differences aside, whoever doesnt have a difference of opinion…but unlike Pakistanis they have much more in common than us. And then more…
I believe its because from the very basic level, we are a divided nation. I feel ashamed to say but I for my own humble self am unable to communicate in Pushto, sindi, sirayiki and even proper Punjabi. Schools never made it mandatory to have some collective awareness since the very beginning, and instead we have the Urdu and English school diversions. Slick right!!! Differences had always been with us right down to our grass roots, and with time we have only enhanced them. Some will blame literacy rate, others political structure and what not…but deep down we all know, or should have concluded long time ago, we need to revamp our brotherhood and indirectly our image.
Anyways, its a long, long way for us. Right now in the midst of all turmoil and disasters of various kinds and enormity, I pray that we could grasp the real meaning of the two nation theory, on whose foundations this country was built in the first place, on whose reference my family had to leave everything in India and come to this side of the border more than half a century ago, not because we were detested or dejected, but because we believed in the ideology that the two nation represented. That we will live and die a Muslim, and never be oppressed being a Muslim. That our generations to come will have a better perspective, a better present, a better future. Millions and millions of us gave their lives for something…and that something…is missing.
I hope we could grasp it… before death grasps us
I hope.
Re: What do you dislike about Pakistani Mentality
I don’t know about your experience but if I’m being served at a store by a Pakistani employee, they usually go out of their way to annoy me/treat me worse than other customers. It always happens, like when you’re walking down the street and you see someone Pakistani they’ll look the other way.
Shouldn’t the fact that we’re from the same country make us more nicer towards eachother?
Re: What do you dislike about Pakistani Mentality
Good post despite few points controversial or questionable.. Very thought provoking.
Hope it was written in another thread.
This thread is full of generalization and stereotype behavior against Pakistanis.
Why?
Because: People with their limited scope of thinking, interaction with few Pakistanis, or reading about few Pakistanis… are trying hard to make their thoughts fit in to this generalized, biased and hateful question by OP.
Advise to OP:
If you have problem with marrying to a Pakistani (if it is even a fact), don’t ask silly questions on the side. You could have posted in Life1 for that problem you mentioned.
Please don’t use one example of social problem (which exists in all societies) and ask generalized question and act like a troll.
Thank you.

What’s next?
Someone heard a Pakistani snoring at night and call it “Pakistani Mentality” he/she despises or loathes?
Re: What do you dislike about Pakistani Mentality
Har jaga dramay baazi. Everything is a conspiracy and hum sahih baaqi sab galat mentality.
Re: What do you dislike about Pakistani Mentality
Quite abit. For starters;
- They always think they’re right, even when the facts are facing them dead in the face they flip it and be like “it’s a conspiracy and propaganda”.
- Everything is haram except for when they do it.
- Everyone in the pakistani government is a “gudda” but then they go and vote for them.
- If you are walking with a guy or a girl, that automatically means you’re dating them and doing somethng wrong. As if you can’t just be friends with the opposite gender.
- Unless you become a doctor your career is worthless.
- Since we’re muslims, that means if we pray everything will automatically go right for us.
- If someone has a nice job, house or car it automatically means they are doing something wrong or they somehow don’t deserve it.
- Gamberling is haram, except for when they do the lottery or invest in shares.
- Women shouldn’t work and just sit at home and cook fresh food for their husbands, apparently it’s the way to their hearts.
I could go on and on but I would need some bullets and a gun for my head.
With regards to the second part of your question, if you don’t wanna marry someone from pakistan you shouldn’t. It’s actually against the law in the UK to force someone to marry someone from pakistan, and has a jail term attached to the sentence (I think 10yrs).
Re: What do you dislike about Pakistani Mentality
I usually like to give the benefit of the doubt to people and I’m never the one to say “omg guy is talking to me = hitting on me!” but…unfortunately I’ve experienced that that’s how it is. Again…this is based solely on my own experience.
It really depends on the people you’re around…I have male friends here in US, I’ve talked to a million guys over hte years, nothing romantic or sexual, no one’s going to gossip that i’m a slut bc I talked to a guy…yet in Pakistan the few people I interacted with led to a really horrible experience and even still I didn’t believe that it could be like that, but I had to be sat down and told that alot of ppl have this ghatya mentality so best to avoid.

Bro, I don’t hate on Bollywood. I find their actors hilarious even in the most serious roles. For the record, I feel the same way about Lollywood, probably worse actually.
