Bam, I agree this website is AWESOME and am soooo thankful I found it too! I have been with about 3 Paki's before I met my husband. I usually met them on a dating site or thru friends. In my town there is a large Pakistani community.

There are plus and minuses of these people. FIRST 98% have a wife/family in Pakistan. YOU WILL HAVE TO CONVERT TO ISLAM. Many are also Shi'a and they feel it is okay to have temporary marriage.The Sunni's dont believe in that.

Pakistanis are VERY concerned w/ "image". You must have education, money, house etc... they WILL NOT marry a minority person. You must be white. Pakistani's are the ones who stress the fair skinned woman. And you WILL dress modestly. Arms, legs, cleavage COVERED. But you can wear the loose scarf covering your hair...it is okay if some shows. In Pakistan the fathers ADORE their daughters and they protect them to the very end. Whereas in other countries the son is the prize , there the daughter is the jewel.

I have found that as long as you fit the 'image" that they want to portray...you will be fine. O! the women NEVER, EVER, shall be alone w/another man.The Pakistani's are the ones that DO hit their wives. They act differently in America than they do in their country. They are usually very laid back here actually. Pakistani man I have noticed do not ogle other women. They stay focused on YOU! But they are the ones that have businesses. They own most of the pizza chains.
