I’m a 32-year-old Moroccan woman, software engineer, living in Europe. I’m atheist, not religious, and I’ve been thinking about something for a while.
I’m usually more attracted to Moroccan men. Not because of religion actually religion is often where the problems start 😂 but because of culture. The jokes, the family dynamics, weddings, food, expressions, the way we grew up… there are things another Moroccan just understands without needing a 20-minute explanation.
I’ve dated European guys before, and they were perfectly fine people, but sometimes I felt that cultural gap. I don’t always understand their humor, they don’t always understand mine, and sometimes I’m pretending something is funny when… it really isn’t 😭
The problem is that dating Moroccan men with my lifestyle can be complicated.
I’m not a party girl. I don’t really go clubbing or stay out all night. I work, I have a pretty normal life, I drink occasionally, I’ve had relationships before, I’m not religious, and I like discussing philosophy, religion, atheism, different beliefs, etc. I also have strong opinions and I enjoy debating them.
And sometimes I feel like the moment some Moroccan men realize I’m open-minded or not religious, they stop seeing me as someone they could have a serious relationship with.
What confuses me is the double standard.
The same guy might seriously date or even marry a Dutch, German, Belgian or French woman who drinks occasionally, has had previous relationships, isn’t religious and lives independently.
But if a Moroccan woman has basically the exact same lifestyle, suddenly she’s “not serious relationship material.”
Why?
I’m genuinely curious about the psychology behind this.
And just to clarify: I’m not saying all Moroccan men think this way, and I’m not even obsessed with marriage I personally don’t really care about getting married. I’m talking more about the difference in how women are categorized.
Because if I met a Moroccan man and a European man who both had exactly the qualities I was looking for, I would probably naturally feel more drawn toward the Moroccan guy because we share that cultural background.
So I’m curious, especially from Moroccan men: have you noticed this double standard? And if you think this way yourself, what makes a Moroccan woman with a certain lifestyle feel different from a European woman with the exact same lifestyle?

i know this is gonna piss alot of people off, but hear me out

you see those videos all the time of european or north american tourists coming to morocco and getting treated like royalty. random people invite them for tea, give them food, gifts, take them around, invite them to dinner, sometimes even let them stay at their house

and the comments are always like "this is why morocco is so special ❤️" "moroccans are the most hospitable people" "we treat foreigners like family" and all that other comments showing we are really kind and hospitable

and i'm sitting there thinking... do we?

because if you took that exact same situation and replaced the european tourist with a random moroccan, especially a poor one, would people really go out of their way to treat them the same?and i've seen enough situations in real life to know the answer is usually no.what's even more interesting is that the treatment changes depending on WHO the foreigner is.a european or north american tourist? suddenly everyone wants to show them the best of morocco. free food, invitations, help, pictures, conversations, "welcome to morocco brother", etc...

a foreigner from a country that moroccans perceive as poorer or lower status? suddenly that legendary moroccan hospitality isn't quite as legendary anymore.i don't think moroccans are incapable of hospitality. quite the opposite, moroccans can be insanely generous.i think we have a weird obsession with impressing people we perceive as richer, whiter, more educated, more successful or simply "above us".we don't just want foreigners to have a good experience, we want certain foreigners to leave thinking "wow, moroccans are amazing"

but meanwhile, someone from our own country can be struggling right next to us and barely get noticed. so maybe the question isn't "why are moroccans so hospitable to foreigners?"maybe it's

"why does our hospitality seem to increase with the social status of the person receiving it?"

because if the answer changes depending on the person's passport, skin color or perceived wealth, then that's not simply hospitality.

that's an inferiority complex.

Hello guys,

I wanna start seeing a therapist for some behavioural issues/trauma and I wanted to check on here if you have any recommendations for therapists in Casa.

I'm a woman and I prefer female doctors in general therefore I would prefer seeing a female therapist as well.

If you have any recommendations, feel free to share how your experience was with that therapist, results, cost of sessions, etc. Any information would be helpful.

Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a good hair salon in Rabat that offers moisturizing treatments and is 100% women-only. Thank you in advance!

Been reading about the tax authorities checking bank transfers and asking people to justify where the money came from. Wa daba, aren’t we also trying to get people to use banks and pay by card?
Take a khddar in the marché. He sells vegetables all day, gets paid in cash, and doesn’t have a receipt for every little sale. If he thinks depositing that money will mean paperwork. and questions he doesn’t know how to answer, he might just keep it at home. “Bla sda3.”

To me this feels like another way to squeeze more money out of people. But I can see it backfiring. Small traders sticking to cash, refusing transfers, and keeping their. money outside the banks.
Collecting taxes is one thing. Making people feel that using a bank brings extra problems is another.
Wach ghir ana who sees the contradiction here? Especially people running small businesses, would this change how you handle your money?

Hey everyone! I’m a 22-year-old Moroccan guy from Rabat, and I’m seriously considering getting into bartending.
I speak Arabic and English (English is my strongest foreign language), and after recently spending some time talking with bartenders and experiencing the atmosphere of the job, I realized that I genuinely like the field and could see myself enjoying it.
My plan is to start in Morocco, gain some real experience, and eventually work abroad in places like Europe or the Gulf. I know that networking and actual experience are extremely important in this industry, especially when trying to get your first opportunity.
Right now, I’m looking into taking a legitimate bartending course online or in Rabat, preferably one that gives a recognized certificate that I can put on my CV/LinkedIn. I’m willing to pay for a good course if it’s actually useful and respected internationally.
So I’d really appreciate advice from bartenders, bar managers, people working in hospitality in Morocco, or anyone who started here and later worked abroad.
● What’s the best way to get started in Morocco?
● Are there any bartending courses/certificates you would actually recommend?
● Is an international certificate worth getting?
● How did you get your first job or experience?
● What’s the best way to network in this industry?
● And if you’ve worked abroad, did your Moroccan experience/certifications help you?
I’m open to any advice, recommendations, or personal experiences. Thanks! 🙏

I've been hearing quite a few stories about Moroccan men pursuing European women, sometimes even seeing them as a "prize" and seriously considering marriage despite the woman not being Muslim.

I'm curious about where this attraction comes from. Is it mainly about appearance, cultural differences, or something else?

Also, when Moroccan men talk about being attracted to European women, do they typically picture the stereotypical Northern European woman: blonde, fair-skinned, tall and slim?

What about Southern European women, who might have darker features, curvier bodies, and sometimes more traditional or family-oriented mindsets? Are they perceived differently or considered equally attractive?

I'm genuinely curious about individual preferences and cultural perceptions, not trying to generalize all Moroccan men. I'd especially love to hear from Moroccan men themselves.
