14 Very Valid Reasons To Stop Dating Lebanese Men

Apart from the two reasons of 1) being Lebanese and 2) being men, here are 14 more valid reasons to stop dating them, coming from a Lebanese woman who has quite literally seen it all.

1. You have to deal with the cringey talking stage

The pick up lines, the trying to find something in common but failing, him thinking it’s going well but you’re literally dying on the inside.

2. He’s bound to hit you with the “baleye? :p” at some point

Or “rta7tellik” or “ente mesh metel be2e l banet” or “3anjad ennik mature”

3. He’s going to take you to Swiss Butter on the first, second, or third date

And then every time you go there, you’ll be forced to remember him. Even after you block him, he has officially ruined one of your favorite steak frites spots FOREVER.

4. If he did a semester abroad, all his sentences will start with “lamma kenet b Berlin…”

Get ready to hear this every few minutes. If you’re lucky, he’ll go a whole 3 hours without bringing up his amazing semester abroad w adde “Europe fiya nizam aktar men lebnen”.

5. You’ll be getting one of these 28 very specific icks

Please take your time to read them. Every single one.

6. He probably wishes Messi or CR7 “Happy Birthday” on Instagram

Do we even need to explain this one?

7. Tkheyalee 3am yet3arkaj…that’s all.

Yes, get a good laugh out of it but then you’ll cringe beyond repair…

8. He WILL invite you to his chalet b Faraya

Even if he doesn’t have one FYI.

9. He probably posts pictures of himself with a peace sign or his eyebrows abnormally raised past his forehead, to the skies

You don’t look hot, please stop.

10. He thinks Lebanese men >>>> other Arab men

Who told you that? Who lied to you?

11. He’s going to ask you if you’re “open-minded”

If he does, run in the opposite direction. We’re begging you.

12. You’ll receive most texts some time between 11 PM and 2 AM

You may receive the occasional good morning text, but he remembers you exist when it’s closer to midnight.

13. He’ll ghost you then ba3d ma tnazle a cute picture: “Hi ya helwe, wen mekhtfiye?”

WikiHow to ekhtefe again so you leave me alone…

14. *randomly adds you to his close friends list after 2 hours of texting*

This is arguably the biggest red flag ever. If you need the confirmation that he has ill intent, THIS IS IT. Rarely does this ever mean that he wants to be good friends.
