In normal armenian culture, women for which men are serious will treat differently, because it is expected that women at marriage are "pure" or in other words they haven't been sleeping with other men, and basically are virgins. In time before marriage, they would try to "court" you, not be sexual, but try to connect. Now, that's typical armenian culture, but I'm sure there is american culture affecting armenians in negative way, but the more at core armenians will follow those traditions. And also, of course you will have the men that are looking at you for only sexual purposes rather than relationship.

Re: i'm not armenian, but i like armo boys

but as far as women, wow, i mean i understand why you would stick to them... armenian girls are gorgeous... so that is not in my favor either.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Send me a pic and I'll see what I can do (kidding... but feel free, lol) There are attractive people from all different types of backgrounds. We don't get many Latinos up in Canada... lots of Portuguese though. I've met some really attractive Colombians and Venezuela has its share of beauties. I think Spanish/Latino women are rather attractive.... then again, I'm attracted to olive skin and darker/exotic features.

Re: i'm not armenian, but i like armo boys

I see Iranian-Armenians in a whole different category by themselves, but in general I would group them with the Western Armenians because like many Western Armenians they immigrated from Middle Eastern countries. I think there's a clear difference between those Armenians and the Armenians of Armenia, Russia, and Georgia which I would group as in the 'Eastern category'.

Didn't say Western Armenians can't be patriotic, there have been a good number who stay patriotic as Armenians - but naturally their connection to Rep. of Arm. is rather distant and their patriotism I see as more overarching. The biggest difference really is the Soviet Mindset/Culture - I see that as dividing us more than anything. Many hayastancis feel more comfortable living with Russians, going to Russian food stores, we all recognise the famous Soviet/Russian movies and children cartoons. It shouldn't be solely a division on 'east and west' but on such cultural divide.

Wrong. Iranian-Armenians do not come from the ME originally but Armenia, so that makes us Eastern. Plus we speak the same eastern dialect as in Armenia. And we'd better stop these 'categorisations' as all kinds can be found in all communities. If WAs have been assimilated, give it time the EAs will be assimilated within two or three generations too. It's not that they have been more 'patriotic'...

Damnit Mos.... there goes our secrets

Some more secrets:

First of all as Mos stated you should be a virgin. And if after first night it is not confirmed; you’ll be just ousted; no beating or any other abusive action. And then get ready for another marriage with other "advanced" nationality men.

After marriage you shouldn’t try to look “sexual” wearing tiny or no skirt, to provoke other men to action. It will be considered by Armenian men as a not concealed eager to have sex with others.

“Unfortunately” Armenian men are not willing share their wives with others, as in some advanced, developed, democratic cultures are doing.

Among the westerners.... the Tashnags are pretty patriotic. I agree, all kinds can be found in all communities, it really depends on the families who kept things together.

Isn't that case for rest of Armenians? The reason I separate Iranian-Armenians from other Eastern Armenians is the Soviet mindset. Of course in the end of the day we are all Armenians, but we have natural differences amongst ourselves, nothing bad about that.
