This region really has the best looking women.
If it weren't for war, terrorism, and Islamic fundamentalism, the whole Middle East would be a bigger hot spot than SEA

Honestly , a lot of the middle east is starting to become less radical and secularised as time goes on , while the diaspora in western countries become more extremist… the average girl from Beirut vs the lebanese diaspora in western countries is vastly different .

Feminism is starting to become massively on the rise in the Middle East and south Asian , particularly Iran , and slowly it’s happening in Pakistan too

This is something I've consistently noticed
I come from a city with a lot of middle easterners and they're always angry about something
But you meet people from their countries and they're nearly always chill as fuck.
I think maybe when you live a cushy life in the west it's easy to get divorced from what happens when you live surrounded by war and real oppression.

You see this with a lot of immigrant groups. It's a similar phenomenon of the infamous Plastic Paddy, obnoxious California transplant, or even the child of divorced parents. Their identity suffers from dissonance over living in a different environment from what they raised to handle. They feel small, lost, and out of place, so they feel the need to assert their identity to the world. This leads to them doing dumb stuff ranging from hoeing around to get back at their parents to being cringelord caricatures who get ripped off by their "relatives" in Ireland to thinking that Salafism is a good idea.

i looked at the british foriegn office travel advice for lebanon a month or so ago and it is safe if you avoid certain neighbourhoods and a few towns, but they still tell you not to go.

It's about being surrounded by others very different from you, and in a way more successful or powerful. The same phenomenon happened in Morocco in the early 20th century. Religion was actually on its way down, women were not wearing the hijab as much, life was chill. But then the french started to tighten their political and cultural grip on Morocco, and as a response people got super religious, just to differentiate themselves from the occupier they resented. Thats when women went back to veils and shit hardcore.
