Hello everyone, I am seeking a serious relationship that leads to an official commitment within a few months.

Basic information:

  • I am from a middle class family.
  • Conservative Muslim background.
  • Still wear the hijab and not eager to take it off.
  • Me and my entire family are college educated and have white-collar jobs.
  • No previous relationships.
  • Zero interest in alcohol, drugs or tobacco. (Would love to try pork one day though 😅).
  • My looks are average. Nothing outstanding, nothing worth mentioning. If looks are very important to you that you'd like a detailed description, just ignore this post.

Location: Middle Delta. Open to relocate to Cairo or other big cities in the Delta.

Personality-wise : I am overall a calm person, and considerate towards others' feelings. I prefer simplicity over luxury. I enjoy being alone and prefer the company of a few people over big gatherings. People who dislike me say that I am very obstinate in what I consider right and wrong. And that I am extremely private and kept to myself. From my own perspective my biggest flaw is that I can be passive aggressive sometimes if I am really angry at someone, and I am working on changing that.

My relationship with religion & view on life: I don't care about religion, but I don't mind participating in cultural events. And I pretend to pray and fast to keep my peace of mind. To me, life is just a bunch of chemical reactions going through a fleeting moment of awareness. There might be gods/a god out there, I actually hope there is, but we don't know and maybe we'll never know. So I'd like to enjoy this fleeting existence and live it as good as I can. And sharing it with a like-minded partner is part of the joy :).

My ethics and values come from a place of compassion towards others.

What I am looking for: An authentic person from a similar social context to mine. Someone who is looking for a serious commitment and starting a family, and wants to build a life here in Egypt. Someone who sees women as actual human beings and not just sexual objects. And obviously, someone who doesn't care about religion too.

I am not what you're looking for if :

  • you drink alcohol or do drugs.
  • age below 30 or over 40.
  • you are child-free/anti-natalist.
  • you are looking for something casual or want to drag the relationship for several months before actually committing.
  • you want to engage in any kind of sexual activity before marriage.
  • you are known in your immediate community to be non-religious.
  • you want to live in a village or a small town. (Sorry, but small towns in Egypt have their own set of laws and traditions that I am not willing to cater to).
  • having a luxurious lifestyle is one of your main goals.
