Why men stay single
Mr."T"
Mr."T" is a 32 year old Engineer. I can't tell you much about him because I actually don't know him personally but only through a friend of a friend who described him as a very polite, real gentlemen who came from a very good family. I know he's younger than the age we set for late marriage, but he sees himself as kind of late.
From the start Mr."T" told me he hadn't gotten married till now because he was a career oriented person, and that he needed the time to set things straight in his career before thinking of marriage. I thought he still had much time to set what he wanted in his career straight, but Mr."T" told me " I was in haj this year and when I got back I decided to get married and now I am working on finding the right person"
Okay, so what criteria are you searching for? "I don't want to sound unrealistic or repetitive but I want a religious girl and I don't mean someone who just looks religious but a girl who understands the meaning of religion, but not a close-minded person, someone who understands that religion doesn't mean living an unhappy life.
Regarding the fourth question it seemed a little unappropriate considering his previous answer so I skipped it and moved directly to the fifth. The answer was" I think I will find her in the circle of work or through friends especially my friends from work because they are the people who know me best and at work I am a real person. At work you usually act naturally and don't have to fake anything. Regarding arranged marriages I would not mind it as a last resort, that is, if I couldn't find her on my own especially that I am planning on getting married this year.
As for the sixth question, Mr."T" replied that we do not need big spaces to find the right person and he proceeded to tell me a story. "It happened in front of me, one of my colleagues is a foreign engineer and as soon as he met the GM assistant he knew she was one. He converted to Islam and they are now engaged and dating". Mr."T" added that he told him that he only based his decision on their communication at work.
Mr."T" told me that he is okay with career women but that he doesn't want someone in the same field or at a higher level than he is. "Men must be in a leading position, I must have my edge."
Regarding women being picky, Mr."T" told me that it is okay for women to be picky. "I see it as an advantage, women now have more and different options. They don't just get married to any man that proposes even if they are past a certain age".
