When dating a non-Iranian, do we Iranians act differently? Do we hold our non-Iranian members of the opposite sex to a different standard than our ‘hamvatan’?

Iranican hosts Iman, Shahed, Ali and our new guest host Hooshang discusses this heated topic, and things get steamy hot.

To give our listeners a sense of how we go about creating our shows, for this show we’d like to share the brainstorming outline we formed when we discussed the topic in our weekly content meeting (the meeting where we come up with our show ideas). Many of the items on the outline do not end up in the actual show, but it gets our hosts prepped for representing their viewpoints. Check it out:
Dating Non-Iranians
  • Why
    • Have fun /Experiment / because they want to be in charge
    • Connect on a different level / learn other culture… curiosity- tour leader
    • Hurt by an Iranian Boy Friend
    • Persian Guys are not romantic, they are Rude (Por-roo), and not MD’s
    • I dated girls that I didn’t fall for because I wouldn’t get nervous around them
    • Gilrs date non-persians to have the upper hand in the relationship
  • How’s it different?
    • Open to mistakes (no/different expectations) Bigger deal if they did something Iranian, but expectations may grow with time/seriousness
    • Not a double standard, just a different game rules like driving
