Iranian men

Hi Savyy

I've dated a few Iranian men and they are a lot different to Arab men in terms of culture and beliefs. They're usually very cultured with high standards. With that said they are equally as jealous and domineering.

Christian or Muslim, they are usually fluid with regards to their faith and tend not to centre their lives around religious rituals.

They are a lot less strict about mixed relationships but the men do tend to be players. In spite of their high levels of education most of them do want to end up with a virgin, Iranian or otherwise. And this is regardless of their social class... soo only things to worry about are if he's a player and if he's unbearably controlling. Arranged marriages aren't really a thing in Iran. Most do have double standards, in that they fool around while their women can't do the same. They essentially expect you to be a virgin and a sexual freak all at once. But the good ones are very good and make great fathers.
