Yes, they do look cute. Spicy meat dishes can be nice too.

Plus, I have a special respect for anyone who can eat insanely spicy food every day like it's no big deal. For those not in the know, Thai restaurants in the States weaken their food to American tastes. So much so, that they invented a "1" to "5" range of spiciness, all of which are below authentic Thai: (insert fire-breathing skull and crossbones).
Well, I ordered a "3" a couple weeks ago, and my eyes were watering all through the meal. I ordered a "4" tonight. But next weekend, I'm going ALL THE WAY, BABY!! !
I'm sure those polite waitresses won't mind me singing soprano and pounding on the table.

So if I just said the reality that i am witnessing around me then I am misogynist?
Well, the attitude points towards to it actually, you recently said that it is an "instinct" that women have. That pretty much sounds like prejudice. Yes, that happens sometimes in some societies or groups or families, such groups put women in an inferior level than men, don't you see? if few women look for wealthy men in a society, that is because of the patriarcal system belief that favors men in this sense, and they have been thought of that mostly because of the dependence they will suppose to have with their future husband.
Rarely this would be the case with independent women who have jobs and/or careers. Not saying a smiliar thing can never happen, it could, but things are not as simple to just take them as a black and white issue.
instincts are always there , sometimes you can fight them ....but they are always there and they are always prime in your personality .
Anyways , no ... i don't see women as inferior but i just seem them as different and so have different needs . Lebanon is not a typical arab country , the society is modestly liberal here (although in some parts of lebanon it's like how you are describing) and a lot of women work including my mother who was always a math teacher for highschool but here success is a must for women otherwise he can't be a potential husband , it's just the way it is.
What i was saying is just reality and reality is not always in pink , the average salary here is $500 here/month here my salary for example is $700/month for 8,5 hrs of working per day over 5 days of the week .
The habitat costs were always insanely crazy , the cheapest apartment in Beirut is about $100,000 so I need 100000/700*12 = 11.9 years to own an apartment (without eating and paying any bills:lol:) . The rent costs are also insanely high , i am paying $350 out of $700 (because i live with a roommate) and things are not going better after the July War in 2006 :
http://indexmundi.com/lebanon/gdp_real_growth_rate.html
I had 2 friends who each one of them were in very serious relationships with their gfs and they broke up for financial reasons : girls are no more patient to wait , they are getting close to age 25 unmarried (and this is considered as shame here in most families , don't ask me why ...i never understood stupid traditions) the parents usually also push their daughter away if they see that her bf/fiancee still needs a lot of time to become wealthy enough to afford marriage .
Are there some girls who are ready to work hard with the guy for love? maybe there's few ...but i never met or saw anyone like this . In fact , i heard girls telling me honestly that if the guy can't afford a comfortable marriage life then why wasting time with him ? That's why most girls of 20s here get married with :
- The older Lebanese guys ie. 30 yrs old and above
-The Lebanese guys who work abroad
-the single guys and princes from the Gulf countries who come here each summer searching for beauty in future brides which it seems to be a very rare resource in their countries , HA!
Other than that , i know no other guy of my age living here is getting married or at least having a relationship without the headache caused by the financial issues vs marriage planning.
As for me, I prefer to be outside of this materialistic dirty game ....right now i am trying to find a work abroad using employment agency , Europe and US seem to not be an option for me since their embassies are putting too many obstacles fearing of terrorists leaking ,so the only option for me is to work in the one of the Gulf countries and there where i am searching , note that i am searching work there for better life and not for love or girl .Note also that the Gulf countries is not a very bright future , they exploit the lebanese labor there at best giving them minimum salaries but still are better than here .
Being raised by a worker mother making me impossibly to be a misogynist so I don't hate women but I don't love them either (just attracted to some of them ) nor i love men too , that 's why i have very few friends ...so anyone who said this accusation I would like to for put in her/his mouth a soap and then close it with a glue afterward . Besides , I am atheist and not religious ...usually only religious people believe in this inequality BS ie. men are superior (no offense ragtime ,an thanks for defending me btw) but I believe in nature laws and so i believe that men and women are wired different in many ways.
I am just cold , bitter maybe because I don't believe in unconditional love or romantic love , only 'love' with benefits exists in reality and in nature . Answer me this question : Does romantic love exists in nature?
beware of what you people wish for ....
