Comments on: Advice for Muslim Guys (aka how to not be a jerk) http://jannah.org/blog/2009/06/05/advice-for-the-guys/ One Muslimah's Travelogue of Life Sun, 15 Jan 2012 07:53:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: jannah http://jannah.org/blog/2009/06/05/advice-for-the-guys/comment-page-2/#comment-91074 jannah Fri, 01 Apr 2011 23:55:55 +0000 http://jannah.org/blog/?p=646#comment-91074 Hmmm, so why is it that I can't pierce into their thoughts and dissect them? Especially if you claim the same can be said of girls, and that everyone has flaws? Also, I find it interesting that you'd rather say the person is not qualified, instead of just saying ok this doesn't apply to me. Again, anyone can give advice, usually blogs are for this type of thing, it's up to you if you want to take it or not. Hmmm, so why is it that I can’t pierce into their thoughts and dissect them?

In a way, whatever you said about guys can also be applied to girls. We all have our flaws and I really think you should be careful when you impart advice on others, because having an opinion doesn't entitle you to, nor does it make you qualified to give advice to guys.

Nice topic... Ermmm.. I'm a single and I've one answer for that "do I like fat thingy" (which I've preserved if my future wife will ask lol) I'll just say "I love you the way you are" (with my fingers crossed, jK hahahaha) . . . Jazakallah, indeed a beautiful bl0g:) Haha.. Nice topic… Ermmm..

If a guy pulls all that religious spiel during the proposal phase, please decline politely. One thing I would advise for all the single ladies is to ask the suitor the following question *politely* in FRONT OF HIS MOTHER: "Sometimes a man has to choose between his mother and his wife. When would you choose your mother, and when would you choose me? Tell me your reasons and rationales." And then watch his lips, his body language, his hands and eyes ... all like a hawk, and watch his mother too. Don't make it confrontational, like I said ask it politely and in a cordial tone, but it has to be done in front of his mother because behind his back he will sweet talk your little head into a really regrettable decision. salams
