Some of the feedback from the article were as follows: *********************************************************************** In addition to Flower’s comment, I would say these women do not mingle with deshi community because some of the deshi women are really nosy and ask too personal questions right away. A friend of mine who is single (living in US) said that some women became too protective about their husbands just because there is a pretty, smart and independent single woman around… how sad! Not only women, some men (in her case married deshi men) often tried to send some sort of dirty signals as if single women are easily available to flirt around. I donot blame these single women for not mingling with the community. Of course we should not judge the entire community based on some people, but it takes only a few bad experiences to make a personal decision about life. ##################################################### SOMETIMES it a sense of jealousy works in people who relates the personality of a single women to arrogance. Those who got married and are busy raising child have lesser time for their career while a single women has more opportunity for that. This fact MAY also give some sort of resentment (and jealousy) to the main streamers. I personally have seen relatively better scenarios in different cities I lived in the US. I think it is the group of people I chose to socialize with. When a person see the community as a whole it may be hard to find the people you like, my suggestion is to be open, that way there is higher chance to find good hearted friends. It’s not fun to avoid people (mean one’s own community). It needs some proactive measure as well. In one case at least, I was able to turn a good number of people in my community to be respectful to one of my single friend (divorced with two kids). When a single woman can successfully socialize with other people, the people in the community will be able to realize, “Hmm, she is not that arrogant we thought before”. It is beneficial in both directions. ***********************************************************************
