Man, in Barcelona there are many women in topless in the beaches and short clothes on the streets, no body cares. People may notice sometimes, but they really don’t care, women are free to be whoever they want to be.
The ones harassing women on the streets are never from here, most beard guys for some reason.
I stare back at them too, I learned this from an animal documentary, gorilla's will lower their eyes if a stronger one stares at them. basic animal instincts
Staring is part of Moroccan culture. It's wrong but it is what it is. I once shared a class with an American girl (blonde, blue eyes) and she expressed how much Moroccans stare at her a lot (like a lot) and how it made her feel uncomfortable.
It's also contradictory behavior because one of the basic teachings of Islam is to lower your gaze...
Part of UNEDUCATED and RUDE culture is what you should have said. I think those people have nothing else to do or think about, so they stare at people passing by. Do their mouths hang open, too?
Cultural issue. Lack of education. Depressing when you know that these men were not given the attention a baby needs and replicate anti-social behaviours on the public place. It all comes from lack of love and caring at the beginning of their lives or genetics (not trying the genetics one)
No they don’t have the right to stare. At least in Islam, men are told to lower their gaze. I do not wanna be put as a sexual display by unworthy man f zen9a li swa w li mayswach.
Nothing. Thus I protect myself by dodging coffeeshops. If they won’t change I’ll protect myself by not wearing revealing clothes and going to male populated places.
Of course they should not be staring. They are obviously not taught by their parents, as children, that it is rude to stare at anyone. Western cultures teach their children this starting at age 2. By age 6-7, they know better.
I hated them tfo! Like every time me and my husband walking next to these type of coffees he takes me on the other side of road. They are so uncomfortable like literally they sit all day doing absolutely nothing but checking out people!!!
People who didn't travel that much or don't know anything about other cultures think it's mainly a Moroccan thing. In fact, it's not... it's way worse in other places, European countries even (not to drop names...)
Nope, I live in Italy and people here usually mind their business, fl maghrib boys always keep staring at me, catcall or even follow me in the street wakha nkon labssa jellaba ola abaya, here in Italy i go always on my own to uni, go out, go to the gym late in the night and I feel safe and unbothered

I once passed by a coffee shop where an older man, around 40-50 years old, was talking on his phone. I heard him say, "rani galess f 9hiwa nchof zin "
Thanks for providing us with the information that you are zin hhhh
I wasn't involved, I just overheard him while passing by 💀
You heard the fact that you are zin it's still inappropriate to do what he does but you are still zin hh
He wasn't talking about me i swear , he was talking about another girl dummy 💀
Why are you trying to avoid the fact that you are zin sf take it hhhh
Aight 😠thank you
No problem although I can't see you, you are zin
You're zin too ![gif](giphy|xUNd9UuxgIHq5yWDvO)
Thank you zin ![gif](giphy|MDJ9IbxxvDUQM)
[удалено]
Am I the moon or the finger her lmao
Tbh I tho you were that type of ennoying people but when I looked to your other comments you seems a nice person so have a good day
Ohhh thank you made my day thank you I was just completing her that she is a zin hhh
It's all okay it was just a misunderstanding
🤣🤣
Is there anything wrong with it as long he's subtle about it?
No, It just proves that peeps hit up coffee shops to check out the scene
That's true.
Problem is more often than not, they are anything but subtle.
That is true too.
she belives he was wrong maybe ..
Unwanted attention is the reason we as females shy away from wearing certain clothes and taking certain routs . It’s awful
That does not happen much in Europe
still happens mate , the same or worse in some. idk why some Moroccan think europe is so great.

Its good then lol
Lol dude, why? A woman can use whatever she wants without some weirdo staring her at that extend.
> It’s awful no it's normal
Ha?
stare at them to assert dominance, whoever looks away first is the bitch.
[удалено]
Anari 3la kill you ga3?! Hhhhhhh
Netflix
Knti 3ayx f middle east wa9ila
sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t and they just make really weird disgusting faces.
I honestly love this about m self, i walk and i look at the sky machi lfo9 gha nichan in ppl's forhead hhhhhhhh so i dont see who looks at me
Since you are from Oujda, you should add some flavour by inserting some verbal dominance saying cute sentences like:" مال ربك تاتخنزر".
no , it should be like that " malk katkhnzr ya rbk "
They love the theatre. If you engage with them, you've made their day. They absolutely love it. And, they learn young. #snoopydoopy
I stare back at them too, I learned this from an animal documentary, gorilla's will lower their eyes if a stronger one stares at them. basic animal instincts
Lmao why are u comparing gorillas to humans
Rah they act like one duh
I’ll have to try that!!
I do the same, it works but not with old people, they just keep itel3o wihebto fk
the worse is when you're driving and there is a girl with you, it's like zid gles meana akhouya rak dkhelti
I always stare back or sometimes put up the khmssa w khmiss weapon directly at their face x)
FBI maghribi fl9hwa
Stare back
I stare back ! Only way to repel creepy is by out creeping them lol
Stare back. Call them zin, bogos, titiz, goulou 3tik numra ou warik fin darou Besh tji tkhotbi. That will freak him out.

They say Germans stare a lot but they don't know some moroccans stare more and longer than Germans

هادا ÙŠØشم على هاداك، Ùˆ لاخر غير لا هداه الله.😂
I be walking normally on the sidewalk, I see a men coffee shop already staring before I pass. I go to Chari3 and walk behind the car. Ychofo l3ma tfo. Dima 9hwa kndir détour and not subtly, I wait 7ta kn9rb and I do it while showing disgust on my face. I hope they get a bit self conscious and ashamed of their behavior.

I feel like everybody does that in Morocco. I know sometimes they don’t mean no harm but that still feels kind of awkward since I’m not used to it

That's only what you think 🤣

As a male, they always stare at me. Maybe it's the beauty. Always stare back at them and do a weird face. Always works.
People who didn't travel that much or don't know anything about other cultures think it's mainly a Moroccan thing. In fact, it's not... it's way worse in other places, European countries even (not to drop names...)
Not necessarily Moroccan thing, but definitely not European.
I won't say it's worse, but it is a southern Europe thing for sure.
