A few days ago I had the chance to have a conversation with a man from Persia. It was the luck of the draw that I bumped into him. I could tell from his accent that he was from over seas. Immediately I asked him where he was from and how long he’s been in the U.S. He told me he was Persian and has been in the U.S. for five years. In normal IDW mode, I had to get more information about his ethnic background.
I hate to say this, but I don’t remember his name. He did tell me that he moved to this country because of is family. He owned a civil engineering company and was considered wealthy in his country. Now he is a courier in this country. He is married with two daughters. His in-laws live in Chicago and told them how the culture in this country was much different than their own country. So his family took a vote and decided to move. He mentions that moving gives his daughters the chance to explore their dreams.
Since he has daughters, I had to ask some questions.
He tells me that in this country his daughters can pursue careers in what ever they choose. One daughter is attending college in Illinois and the other is a Senior in High School and is planning on college at the University of Texas. Both of their future careers are in science and couldn’t be pursued in the country. He says that his wife and daughters love this country. They love the freedom, the fashion and the shopping.
So when I asked him about what Persians families think of dating/marrying outside of their race, he surprised me.? He mentioned that is one of the things that attracted them to the U.S. He said that some families want their culture to preserved, but he and his wife was open to whom ever their daughters chose. I didn’t ask specifically about dating black men, but i got the impression that it was OK.
The next thing I wanted to know about the Persian people is their religion. Immediately he informed me that there are Muslims and Christians. I’m not well informed to talk about the major differences in Persia, but I’d assume it’s like most other Muslim nations. For me, I’m in love with bacon, BBQ ribs, and pork chops to pursue a relationship with a Muslim woman from any country.
Over the last few months, I’ve met several friends and women who are from the Middle East and India. I must admit that I’m always attracted to beautiful women from all over the globe. As I continue to expand my dating options, I’m always educating myself to know what to expect. A few months ago one of my friend introduced me to beautiful woman from India. The night of the elections I met a beautiful Persian woman at my neighborhood pub. From all indications, a black man has a better chance to date Middle Eastern woman than I realized. I’ve never had the chance to date a Middle Eastern woman, but I wouldn’t mind.
Would you move 1/2 around the globe to give your kids a better life? Have you had any experiences dating someone from Persia or India? Any suggestions on where Persian woman hang out, besides Persia?
