The bad reviews comes mostly from the ignorance of the culture. Traditionnal values seem to be the key word here. Specially for the men. The women too but they have obviously embraced the some of the modern life style with a suprising element for me: Seeing how the strong and independent women in the western world are, being more and more masculine, I thought that this was the main reason that made them so unacttractive (understand not wife material). Here, most of these women are strong and independent but are still very, charming, feminine and thus very attractive even if physically most of them were arevage or slighty below. The men are traditionnal, demanding and strict, I guess that's in their culture and it seems to be the norm. I really appreciated watching the interaction between the men and the women: they were honest, very affermative in the boundaries they set. No surprises,
better communication, less deceptive tactics, less hidden intentions than in the previous seasons. Concerning the women some of them have fallen in the trap of feminism. There is a very high probability that Hajar, Asma, Safa, Karma and Nour will have to drop their delusionnal views and face reality. They "hit the wall" already and their best fertile years are behind them. Same for their attractiveness. The older you get, your chances of finding your significant half gets harder. I could be wrong but the stats are not in their favor. As for Dounia, she has a good chance of having a great life. I gave the show an eight because I enjoyed the cultural discovery.
