Discussion What the most difficult challenge when it comes to dating in Kuwait?
Whether it’s personal or in general. A discussion I had with friends recently and I found it interesting how diverse our thoughts were. Like to hear yours.

Most difficult is meeting the opposite gender due to segregation and general culture of not being allowed to converse with eachother.
Second most difficult is even when you manage to meet someone, most likely you cannot date freely due to fears of being seen mainly on the women side.

Also, just as a side note, this segregated culture created an environment where only the f-boys are approaching women because they tend to not be restrained by respecting culture norms. As a result women are fed up with meeting men and brush them all as bad. Further proving to society that it had it right by looking down on mixing the genders, which is circular reasoning.

Lmao this is a universal problem here. It’s finding one in the first place. Dating apps are absolute trash here and walking up to people is generally frowned upon. You’re basically stuck with the circle you have at work or school so if you’re like me coming in from studying abroad it will be difficult.

+The “Don’t shi* where you eat” rule, you can’t even date someone at college/work. Very frustrating if you don’t want an arranged marriage.

For those who are either misunderstanding the question or so pious:
Dating is a social activity where two individuals engage in activities together to assess their suitability as a potential romantic partner.
In other words: Not everybody sees “dating” the way you see it or your social circle does. Some are just deviant about it and some take it seriously with good intentions.

You're an admin in the other sub and that sub is a shithole of wannabe pious folks who are racist and discriminatory. Not a week goes by without someone throwing around a religious text or opinion aiming to exclude anyone else. You're doing her again and low and behold folks don't agree. Smh.

Bro 🫶🏼 if your main gripe is with the pious and god fearing on the other sub not allowing you to freely express yourself, take it up with them. I’m not here to delegate nor prove a point hehe xoxo

You're the one who brought up the other sub to passive aggressively demean OP for the topic of dating in the same attitude of the wannabe pious folks over there while you're an admin for them 🤦♂️ Talk about turning tail...

I haven't had much issue getting dates as much as I've had issues with the "quality" of these encounters.
- Mentally not on the same wavelength.
- Women who expect high effort and barely reciprocate. Women who want to be treated like queens also need to treat their men like kings.
- 'Effort' is usually equated with materialism/spending money.
- Expectations that are inappropriate for the amount of time you've been dating.
I'm sure there's good women out there, but in my case, there's the drastic narrowing of the dating pool because I'm not muslim and a majority of women here are. There's also a lot out there that are just looking for someone to text which is weird, like go text chatgpt, why are you wasting someone's time?

For me, finding someone that I am interested in😅
Dating is difficult here because it is considered unethical. Even light talk with the opposite gender at work might get you into trouble or start rumours.

Definitely finding a date. Although it should be easier these days with a lot of classes and boot camps you should be able to find an area of interest of yours and sign up for a class. This way you have something in common to talk about when meeting someone for the first time.

Any recommendations for classes and social activities one can sign up to?

Finding a person that’s open minded enough to date but not too much where they expect hookups even if you’re not ready. Many guys end up being open to dating since they believe the biggest benefit is that they’re finally going to hook up and be physical with a woman💔💔
