Explain to him that it is just a crush and that it is normal for a guy your age to have crushes. Its all a part of growing up.

I just don't want to disobey my parents and have a bad name behind my name.

Wait did your parents tell you that they don't want you to have a crush on girls?

yes but I think she was trying to say not to fall in love at a early age.

yahoo main page today shows a computer program that "engineers" beauty..... puts a photo in the software and it shows what enhanced beauty would be like....

i myself didnt see any big difference between the before and after image...and ultimately it proves, human intellect perception still superior to machine because ultimately it's we who decide what beauty should be and even if it includes the flaws,

Gowza · #**133** October 11, 2008, 03:37 PM

for sure, people can be physically beautiful but it doesn't mean much if they have an ugly personality. but as for falling love at young age's, chances are it's not really love imo (not saying it can't happen though). not trying to be harsh but from my experiences, and others i know, we all said as we were growing up that the new one we had never felt as strong feelings for as the last. even as an adult i'm meeting women who i have much greater feelings for than girls i was with in my teens who i thought i was head over heels for.

also have to realise the excitment and passion won't always be there, love is about a special bond, something imo that can't be explained, you can have a list of things about what qualities they have that you like but is that love? yes you can like someone because they have certain qualities but you love them despite those things, it's that special bond which is the reason why you love them. basically if they were to strip off all of their qualities you liked about them and you still have this feeling that they're special, then that's love. it's something you can't put a label on but is always their.

if you are born and brought up in bangladesh, respectuful of the prevalent culture then don't sit next next to that girl. stay at school, go to university, keep your eyes in the books, listen to your parents, read the quran as shardul says and then get into an arranged marriage. you have no mandate for anything else. be happy.

Russell2k7 · #**135** October 12, 2008, 01:14 AM

for me its 1)Bangladeshi 2)Turkish 3) Iranian 4)Indian 5) Caucasian. She is bangladeshi and is quite pretty. Balam's "ei bhabe aar deko na baka choke chayo na" comes to mind lol.

If you are being sarcastic, which I think you are, then I totally agree with you. There is nothing wrong with studying hard, going to a good university, and reading the Quran, but I have a problem with never sitting next to a girl and arranged marriage. Is it wrong to fall in love? Is it wrong to have a little lust towards a girl? I mean come on, its human nature. I am also a firm believer in the saying that there is someone for everybody.

Ok guys I have a question.

Do you think that divorce rates in the US have any coorelation to the amount of dating that goes on? In America, it is common to see relationships last less than 6 months. Most people only date each other for a little while and then they get bored and move on. Is this bad practice for once marriage time comes around? Americans focus so much on short term relationships that once they try to get in a long term relationship(marriage) it fails miserably. Of course there are exceptions to this, but the divorce rates here are much higher than countries like China, India, and BD where dating is far less common.

Correlation ar causation... duita different jinish.

In the Bangladeshi (or Indian) culture, changing partners is looked down on. That's why people will stay together even if they are unhappy. Also, women are a lot less empowered in more conservative cultures and are labeled negatively if they leave their men and get into more than one relationship in their lifetime. In the developed countries, that's not the case.

Also, women can support themselves financially in the developed countries a lot easier than women in, say, Bangladesh. So, they can get a divorce and still sustain themselves while it's a lot harder for women in Bangladesh.

Things are changing in Bangladesh though. As our society becomes more and more liberal, there are more divorces than there were a generation or two ago. You see more of this in the cities than in the rural areas, again, because people in the cities are generally less conservative in the way they think.

I don't find Bangladesh women particularly attractive. Deshe ferot gele oidike amar khobor ase. I've only ever dated one Bangladeshi girl, and kinda sorta saw another one for a bit. I find white girls and hispanic girls attractive. Also, some black girls. Not a big fan of Arab, Azn or subcontinental woman but yeah, I don't know why people find certain things beautiful and not others.

there are many reasons for divorce rates to be so high but one of the predominant factor has already been highlighted by someone above - that of social stigma. the other major factor and perhaps the most important reason for high divorce rates is to do with the economic status of women in society. the reality is that many marriages work in the east because there is no alternative to this. women don't have to reply on men to the extent they are so in the indian subcontinent.

divorce rate is also much higher in america than it is perhaps in greece or eastern europe. my assumption is that the closeknit family structure in these countries amount to closer bonds and less distractions from the outside. eastern european women are also generally less flirtatious once wedded.. or so is my personal experience.

divorce rates are quite high in various arab countries although you won't find any official statistic on such matters!

perhaps it is to do with certain social sensibilities that allow us to gaze at particular women with more lustful eyes. if society prevents you from looking at non-bangladeshi women and that is how you have been brought up and accept it to be the norm, one would automatically find local women more attractive.

a work associate is bangladeshi. she is considered to be very attractive by a few other asians i know. i get along really well with this girl and she is extremely flirtatious. but i just don't find her attractive. she is quite sweet but i am not attracted to her. however, the greek girl who works with her, laurie is lovely
