AZHAAR (21 years old, journalist, not married)
Hidden talent:
"Painting and sewing."
I am irritated by:
"Any scratches sound."
Favorite movies, actors, and television stars:
"Harry Potter, Lost, and Steven Segal.
Why do I wear hijab:
"When I grew up, my father said I should wear it. Also, in a society where I live, is it, so I must do the same. I like it because it I feel more secure. [long pause] When I think about it ... understand women who do not wear hijab, receive less attention. When you are wearing head scarves, men seek to know what is there for them, and therefore stronger look to you. Excessive openness leads to the opposite effect. Itself, I do not trust men, because they usually betray women. For this reason, I think I'll never marry."
If only I could meet any historical figure, it would be:
"Saladin. He united Egypt, Syria and Yemen against the Crusaders and conquered Jerusalem, most of the Kingdom."
People in the West need to know something about the Islamic world, which they still do not understand:
"Not all the Arab women - uneducated backward terrorist. They are the same women as everyone else. Many girls here are break in life. Yemeni women are educated, successful and open."
Looks like the "eyes" have it!
A couple things to keep in mind when making your decision(s):
1) A faded hoodie could indicate several things, such as: cleanliness, overzealous stream-side behavior (washing), lack of funds to purchase "color safe" detergents, etc...
2) Designs in cloaks indicate wealth, especially if they're made of BLING! BLING!
3) Never be afraid to ask for a side/profile shot (black is a slimming color, don't let her nose surprise you!).
