It is also very offending, I as a Lebanese girl, think that it shows girls as merely sexual objects, and that all they care about in life is finding a man to marry. It also insinuates that the men want girls who are cheap, vulgar and, to put it bluntly, slutty. I find it hard to believe this is the type of girl a man would want to marry! This story might ring true for young men and young women who seek the same sort of meaningless superficial rapid relationship, perhaps only sexual. However, I do not believe it is true at all for those who might be coming or are in Lebanon to marry. <br/>And if any girls are reading this who were in that night club doing that show, and usually act in such a way: Wisen up, you're doing this wrong, and try to achieve your independence, not a sexually-driven man who might drop you after a couple of nights of fun.

This article in the New York times is nothing more than an Orientalist attempt at painting another ridiculous picture of us in the Middle East. Lebanon is not like that, the people he has spoken with do not represent Lebanese people in general and the picture presented is quite sick. Read Edward Said on Orientalism. This is nothing more than the White Man trying to stereotype the Arab world in another way, particularly from a sexual angle. Guys I think you have missed the point.
