Are the local women open to dating foreign, non-Muslim men? What are the best places to find horny French women on vacation there? Thanks.
Scotian - It's not an SNL culture but you can find open-minded chicks via social circle, particularly the upper classes. I know one American non-Muslim white guy who married a Tunisian woman from a rich family. He met her there.
Man, some of my male friends there are completely secular, even atheist/agnostic. They grow their hair out, drink, fuck chicks, and a lot of them don't even look Arab. They could pass for French or Italian or Spanish. It all depends on who you know out there. Of course, being Muslim will open up more doors. The other guy I know is a Black American Muslim who married a gorgeous Tunisian woman (met her pipelining). Some dating site for Muslims called Muslima.net or something.
I wouldn't go there to score French chicks, but if you want to find tourist bitches, go to
Sousse. It's the most popular resort destination. Tons of EE chicks go there.
Check out this
Al Jazeera article about the economic situation. Interesting problem they have out there.
Conservative - Thanks for your insights man. I wasn't saying that they are liberal by personal standards, I meant compared to other Arab/Muslim countries. I've traveled across North Africa and the Middle East and Tunisia is one of the most, if not the most, secular places I've been to in the region. Most other places it's very common to see chicks covered up. Tunisia is only second to Turkey IMO in women not covering up.
Also, Tunisia is socially liberal for an Arab country IMO. For instance, you can
look at this map and find that Tunisia and South Africa - and maybe some random tiny West African country - are the only places on the continent where abortions are legal upon request. Pretty funny that it seems only the northernmost and southernmost country on the continent is where that's true.
As for the chicks, I didn't get to leave Tunis to find the more open ones in the college towns. I think my friends would agree with you. I asked them many times about scoring Tunisian women and they say it's not too hard, just takes time, but in Tunis it didn't seem easy. I never really saw single chicks out at night. Not even in sets. They were always with dudes.
As for Sidi Bou Said in Carthage, man it was easy to forget I was in Africa sometimes. The neighborhood I stayed in resembled the nicer areas of Los Angeles (i.e. Beverly Hills). It was funny because I visited right after the revolution deposed the longtime ruler (protests were still ongoing). Because of that, there had been a spike of home break-ins in Carthage. So I'd be walking down a beautiful street lined up with palm trees and just see a tank out of nowhere. Kinda alarming.
That said, what I like about Tunis is that it's right on the Mediterranean coast so it's an easy and relatively cheap flight to Rome, Paris, etc.
Anyway, I know this isn't a travel website but I found the place gorgeous as to not share some pics.
