How do I signal to men that I'm available on the dating marketplace despite being a hijabi
I haven't been muslim for years but still wear hijab due to living with my parents, and obviously I feel like men are too scared to approach me because they think I'm religious
I have about 2.5 years left in my degree and I need to find a husband stat, otherwise I fear I will be single forever and my parents will arrange a marriage for me with some religious nutcase guy from the middle east

If you date a white guy, they’ll want you to keep that hijabi on so they can live out the muslim girl fetish

One of my best friends is a guy from Pakistan who immigrated to the US with his family in high school. While raised Muslim, he doesn't practice, but had to keep the taboo stuff like drinking alcohol and eating pork on the down low until he got his own place. Similarly, it's going to be hard to do your own thing until you're on your own unless you can be honest with your family. If you try to be "Muslim" at home and "not-Muslim" in public it'll fall apart at some point since that's sitcom-tier shenanigans and if you're dating to marry eventually your partner will meet your family. Assuming you're in the US, your family can not legally force you to marry someone so you're not really on a time crunch in that regard.

as a white guy those scarves are a bigger repellant than unnaturally colored hair (blue/pink/whatever). get away from your family and i might be interested. good luck not getting murdered tho

>Assuming you're in the US, your family can not legally force you to marry someone so you're not really on a time crunch in that regard.
I am in the US, but I meant that I am on a time crunch because undergrad is the best time to meet your partner organically. If I graduate single its kinda over for me

>>32626620
>those scarves are a bigger repellant
Well yeah, that's the whole point of wearing it
It's supposed to repel men
>>
>>32626631
>If I graduate single its kinda over for me
no... not really. specially at work you'll meet many times over the amountof people you met in college. then there's other activities, like sports, either practicing, or being just a fan. other hobbies. you'll meet so many people after you leave college
>>
>>32626631
>It's supposed to repel men
so take it off if you want to attract men you dumb bitch, no offence

LMK if you live in the south, I will take you and feed you. Just don't behead me

You're gonna have to signal to men you aren't actually muslim or are questioning in order to make them comfortable to the idea of asking you out. With classmates you spend lots of time with, that might be possible. But basically wearing a hijab at worst signals "Hey, if you touch me, my father or brothers might honor kill you."

Have you considered the longterm? Because getting married to a non-muslim will probably force you to cut yourself off from your family. Are you ready to do that? Are you financially capable of doing that? How logistically possible is it to tell your parents "I want to live in the dorms at uni and experience college life," for starters? You can even bullshit up something because 9/10 times there will be a Muslim organization at your campus that you can cite to want to "be more involved with so you won't be completely unplugged."

Don't wear the hijab when you're not with your parents.
Go to a bar and drink alcohol.
Basically go to social events.

Dumbass I can't I said I live with my religious parents

>>32626694
I live in the PNW

>You're gonna have to signal to men you aren't actually muslim or are questioning in order to make them comfortable to the idea of asking you out
So how do I signal that? Wear slutty clothes and become a hoejabi?
>getting married to a non-muslim will probably force you to cut yourself off from your family
I don't have any sort of emotional bond with my parents, they only talk to me when they want something from me. They basically see me as a monkey making and baby birthing machine. So I wouldn't be too sad if I cut them off
>Are you financially capable of doing that
Lol right now no. But once I graduate I'm hoping to land a job in tech
>tell your parents "I want to live in the dorms at uni and experience college life,
Unfortunately I already tried this and my mom got very upset and we didn't talk for weeks. Also its quite expensive to live on campus

>>32626755
>Don't wear the hijab when you're not with your parents
That's harder than you think
and a lot of arab muslim people that know my parents go to my uni they would probably snitch
>>
>>32626551
Before I go to sleep, let me just say that you are supposed to keep other men away, so approach the one you're interested in and then do not ever accept that other men approach you. Also, become Christian, if you go to church you're going to talk religion anyway so you can bring up that you've left islam more or less immediately.

Wear a looser one and tell people why you still wear it.
My gf literally told me she just wears it for her parents when we were getting coffee.
>>
>>32626551
Dumb larp.
If your parents would freak out over not wearing a hijab, they'd also freak out about you dating. I know arabs whose parents are basically irreligious, and they STILL get bent out of shape if their kids--especially daughters--date.
>>
>>32627656
It's easier to hide the fact that you're dating someone instead of not wearing hijab
>>
>>32626887
>I live with my religious parents
then take it off when they aren't around????
>>
>>32626551
Take off the hijab on campus. I had a classmate who did that.
