The rules may differ from country to country, but the dating
game is a universal constant.
After years of searching for Mr. Right in living-room meetings
arranged by family or friends, Ghada Abdel Aal, a young Egyptian
professional, decided to take to the blogosphere to share her
experiences and vent her frustrations at being young, single, and
female in Egypt. Her blog, I Want to Get Married , quickly became a
hit with both men and women in the Arab world. With a keen sense of
humor and biting social commentary, Abdel Aal recounts in painful
detail her adventures with failed proposals and unacceptable
suitors. There's Mr. Precious, who storms out during their first
meeting when he feels his favorite athlete has been slighted, and
another suitor who robs her in broad daylight, to name just a few
of the characters she runs across in her pursuit of wedded
bliss.
I Want to Get Married has since become a best-selling book in
Egypt and the inspiration for a television series. This witty look
at dating challenges skewed representations of the Middle East and
presents a realistic picture of what it means to be a single young
woman in the Arab world, where, like elsewhere, a good man can be
hard to find.
