heheheh agreed. It’s strange, but most Ameican Born Pakistanis I have met have no goals in life and are just plain weird ( maybe that’s just my bad experience). Most FOBs I know are doing really well. 90% of people who studied with me at LUMS for their undergrad got into top universities of the world including Stanford, Harvard, UPenn,Yale,Columbia, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, CMU( me:) ), USC, just to name a few (and not to forget the oxfords and the Cambridges of UK). Several got jobs directly at Microsoft and Google (straight out of doing their bsc from pakistan). So I don’t understand how these people are perceived as having bad accents/grammar/dress sense. I am sorry but they are a million times better than any American Born Pakistani (or Indian or whatever)
As far as being greasers, SERIOUSLY, every country has it’s paindos and weirdos. Don’t tell me you haven’t seen any goray greasers. and have you ever checked out the grammar of people down south??
Given that I’ve seen the best of both worlds, I’d say HANDS down Pakistani guys are hotter and smarter. and Pakistani ‘accents’ are better than any other accents including American accents. ( i find it ridiculous that Americans think they don’t have an accent… seriously are you that dumb??)
But like someone pointed out here, marriage is a life long commitment, and you want someone you can relate to, someone who gets where you are coming from. I’d hate it if my guy didn’t understand my jokes or my stories. so It’s fair for a girl to say she isn’t interested in FOBs coz I sure as hell am not interested in ABCDs OR Americans (why the [edit] do you think I am still single despite being asked out by a ton of guys at my office). The one’s I am interested in (i-e Pakistani born Pakistanis) are either taken or gay:)
