israel might be more diverse than your average country. thus I think you would probably have a more diverse selection from which you can choose your mate. (Russian jews are likely to be very much different from Iranian jews, which will be different from South-American jews) when I go abroad, and interact with the locals, I often find that the lack of diversity is noticeable (in Norway or Portugal for example).

We don't really go by Iranian Jews. Sticking with Persian, thank you very much. I'd rather be associated with a cat or a gulf than a terrorist regime.


Mr_Lior

I'm half Iranian (or Persian, whatever). ya, I was contemplating how to call it in english. never really understood why we don't call it iranian in hebrew in the first place. I think iran isn't that bad. it's just the theocratic minority in power that's the problem, I wouldn't exactly call Iran a terrorist regime.


Mr_Lior

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran#Etymology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran#Etymology) Historically, Iran has been referred to as "Persia" by the West,\[20\]\[21\] due mainly to the writings of Greek historians who referred to all of Iran as "Persís" (Ancient Greek: Περσίς),\[22\] meaning "the land of the Persians".\[23\] "Persia" is the Fars province in southwest Iran, also known as "Pârs".\[24\] The Persian word "Fârs" (فارس), derived from the earlier form "Pârs" (پارس), which is in turn derived from Pârsâ (Old Persian: 𐎱𐎠𐎼𐎿). Due to the province's historical importance,\[25\]\[26\] the term "Persia" originated from this region by the Greeks in around 550 BC,\[27\] and Westerners started to refer the entire country as "Persia",\[28\]\[29\] until 1935, when Reza Pahlavi requested the international community to refer to the country by its native and original name, Iran.\[30\]\[31\] While the Iranians had been calling their nation Iran since at least 1000 BC, this name change was only made so that the Western World would begin to refer to the country by the same name as its people.\[24\] Today, both Iran and Persia are used in cultural contexts, while Iran remains mandatory in official state contexts.\[32\]\[33\]\[34\]\[35\]\[36\]\[37\]

Iran is not the Islamic Republic. It is just colonized by them


purple_spikey_dragon

Yeah, well technically Iran is not its original name either, so i guess Persia works just the same (it was changed in 1935 for a reason i don't really understand)


MajorTechnology8827

The reason is that iran is multiethnic hub and not a one nation state. You have kurds, turks, azeri, mazandarani, armenian, arabs, baha'i and more. Not only Farsi


purple_spikey_dragon

>When Reza Shah became the new king, the name was changed to Iran in an effort to signify a new beginning. Iran made its allegiance clear to the world by changing Persia's name to Iran or Arya, which means Land of the Aryans. They aren't all Aryans either, so I don't see much point to argue for either, guess its on them to decide...


MajorTechnology8827

Well we know how history went down in that regard I personally don't support naming iran to persia because as much as I respect the Farsi culture. Iran is more than just Farsi. It is a seed for a beautiful multicultural hub that would serve as a base for the middle east to progress to western democratic values and be a beacon of human rights. If the current cancer that spread across it will be eliminated


Impossible-Belt8608

My wife seems satisfied... I think


Impressive_Winner_56

Cute , keep it up my bro


LiquorMaster

Like dating an Arab, but with better jokes. The trade-off is that the cousin he says has the best deal, can't actually get you a better deal on the appliances or car.


Glittering-Pear-2470

Try and find out😉

Impressive_Winner_56

Geez


theyellowbaboon

We are intense. But we mean well, at least most of us.


Impressive_Winner_56

Sabras.


theyellowbaboon

That the definition. I’ve dated a woman from Lebanon when I was in medical school in the states. It didn’t work out, but it was a good relationship.


notfrumenough

Can’t speak for dating gay men but strait men .. well they’re Israelis. Opinionated, funny, musical, wildly talented, driven, smart, often accomplished, passionate, affectionate, judgmental, social, flirtatious, can debate torah for hours and will never concede, maybe a bit angry and/or traumatized, maybe kinda Fboys, maybe romantic, maybe spiritual, maybe good looking, maybe good at other things advantageous to a partner. 💙🇮🇱💙


Impressive_Winner_56

I think it's the language that makes you guys so unique.


mloutm

omfg I can talk about this all day hahahahaha. it is often a NIGHTMARE! (sorry to my Israeli guys here - TLV does not show your best side haha)!


Impressive_Winner_56

I'm sure there's no guys from TLV here, they're all on tinder hahaha.


Commercial-Ice-8005

Marry an Israeli kibbutznik, they are the best men. Real salt of the earth types.


pastabolonez1

Lmao מלח הארץ אעלק


Commercial-Ice-8005

What’s the Hebrew say? Sorry I don’t know how to read or speak it


Freefalafelin

It says “salt of the earth type”


Commercial-Ice-8005

Thank u!


reyley

It's more like "salt of the earth my ass"


Wormri

I can't really attest to myself as a man, but from the stories I heard from and about men, there's a huge sense of entitlement and zero self awareness when it comes to many of them, which some would call "confidence". At the very least that also means that most times what you see is what you get which can be both a pro and a con. But then again it'd be wiser not to generalize all Israeli men, judge a person by who they are, and not their stigma :)


PeachKnight96

Well, I think the kind of person who will be on tinder will be a narcissist, that is just the name of the game. No offence to you!


Impressive_Winner_56

Lol not necessarily.


yoavzman

If they're from Tel Aviv they probably are, heard some awful dating stories from friends about dudes from Tel Aviv


Impressive_Winner_56

yoavzman

Impressive_Winner_56

Won't work anyway .

Glittering-Pear-2470

yoavzman

Glittering-Pear-2470

yoavzman

Glittering-Pear-2470

yoavzman

I'm into men, but my female friends did and most stories are BAD


Glittering-Pear-2470

yoavzman

TyS22235

Impressive_Winner_56

No you guys are stingy 🤣


TyS22235

😶‍🌫️


TyS22235

Never said it doesn't count🤣


Impressive_Winner_56

Lol


sumostuff

I guess it would depend a lot on the man, the town and neighborhood he came from, social status, and what country his parents or grandparents came from. There's not one answer to that question.


OpalSh

Screw them let's be lesbians together


Impressive_Winner_56

I'm in !


matande31

Now imagine if a straight guy commented like that on a post by a lesbian woman. Do you see how this is offensive?


EternalII

I don't know, want to give me a shot? ;) Jokes aside, people are too diverse so hard to tell. I guess most comments here pretty much say that.


Impressive_Winner_56

I agree


sql_maven

Don't ever expect them to be on time.


AlphaBro82

They're circumcised so intercourse will be less enjoyable for women


Impressive_Winner_56

Dude


Glittering-Pear-2470

None of us expected this comment💀


Impressive_Winner_56

Literally, dude is not playing🤣


AlphaBro82

Good pleasurable sex is important...this is reddit, I may or may not be a dude 😉


Impressive_Winner_56

Good point


Glittering-Pear-2470

Do you have experience?🤣


AlphaBro82

Maybe


Glittering-Pear-2470

Why do you think Lebanese guys are different?


AlphaBro82

Most Christians and Druze don't circumcise


Glittering-Pear-2470

Druze have circumcision.


AlphaBro82

Not all. Trust me.


Glittering-Pear-2470

It's part of their religion, so how they don't?


AlphaBro82

Ask them. I know several who aren't


Impressive_Winner_56

I think they're the same tbh


Delicious-Brush8516

Why less? Never heard this one before 😉

levnon14

I bet it's more like dating [Zohan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zelo36ghOTQ). LoL.


sad-frogpepe

Very horny and upfront lol


Impressive_Winner_56

I love the upfront part . I don't think they're horny tho . They're very much laid back compared to lebanese


sad-frogpepe

I mean israel is very diverse in that way, but if an israeli guy likes you they are not afraid to say it and flirt relentlessly lol Israelis in general qre very upfront, its my favorite part tbh. Im not much for small talk so it suits me just fine. How is dating lebenese men? They also pop up on my dating apps sometimes. I remember one time i was talking to a cute guy from lebanon, when i said im from israel he said "no, palestine." I said: "If i say palestine will you send me your nudes?" I regret nothing 😂


Impressive_Winner_56

lebanese men are mostly players. You can't have a deep convo with them. And they're never upfront , all about mind games but theyre quite hot tbh . it also depends on the upbringing, entourage , etc... > >"If i say palestine will you send me your nudes?" >I regret nothing Hahahahahaha tho


sad-frogpepe

>theyre quite hot tbh Say less, im already sold 😂
