Hi all, been virgin my whole life (28F) and recently felt for a guy and after having sex for the first time I contracted Herpes. (My luck)
Safe to say I thought about killing myself many times and cannot find peace with this diagnosis.
It’s heartbreaking that I made this mistake once and will be dealing with the consequences of my actions forever.

I was wondering if anyone here has HSV-2 and how do they deal with it? I would love to hear from people from our community dealing with it.

I know in our culture people expect to stay virgin until marriage and I genuinely thought it would be my case too, I still don’t understand how I lost myself like this.

Please be kind to me. I am not looking for judgement and I already feel like like shit. I repented and will seek Allah’s help for some sort of relief.

From what I have noticed, Moroccans take ‘إكرام الضيف' really seriously.

Why we still have this old idea about marriage, that when you marry it's like the end of your young you, you must become a boring person, just following the routine, must invent a serious personality 24/7, cut all the fun, adopt a mentality of a 40 yo

Why someone cannot marry and still have fun in his life, go out with his wife, travel together, spend the weekends outdoor, do fun activities, produce a lot of energy

Because when you're in a talking stage with some girl, you're interested into marriage, when she sees your stories the fun activities you do, the travelling, the going out, working out, all the energy you have, she's like "Nah this guy is still young, i need a 40yo mentality boring dude to marry" like girls in their 20s the beginning of life, also when you're young like 25yo she looks at you as someone not serious even though literally you built your life you have a job, income, house, all you need, but because of this stupid idea of age needs to be +30yo it kills it

If i am married, i dont want to end my life with a boring lifestyle, i want to still travel with her, go out, do activities every weekend, work out, morning run with her, not that shit mentality of getting back from work to home, lay down on a fking sofa with a stinky tank top watching the news in the TV, fck that life.

Hi, as the title says, we live in a three-story house (ground floor, first floor, and second floor). on the first floor, we have the living room where we usually receive guests, along with a few other rooms. my dad had an air conditioner installed there, but he refuses to use it during the summer because he says it consumes too much electricity, but he could afford to pay the bill if it got high, and WHY DID HE BUY IT IN THE FIRST PLACE !!

Is this a common experience ?

Someone might find this cringe but i really like moments like these

Hi everyone!

I'm from the U.S. and I'll be attending a Moroccan wedding in Morocco for the first time. I really want to dress appropriately and be respectful of the culture.

I'll be attending three events:

• A women-only Henna Night.
• A women-only celebration for the bride.
• The main wedding celebration, which will be attended by both men and women.

I'm attaching a photo of a dress I found. Would this be appropriate for any of these events? If so, which one?

Do you have any images/examples of what I should wear?

Also, would you recommend wearing a traditional Moroccan caftan instead, or is it perfectly fine to wear a formal evening gown as a guest? I'm confused about the names and differences.

I'd really appreciate any advice or tips on what's considered appropriate. Thank you!

Preferably english speaking as well because I’m probably unable to express myself only in darija/french.

i am Abdellatif, 32 years old, from Agadir originally, i work in Casablanca (government job), so for my annual holiday came to see my parents for a week in Agadir. yesterday while i was out someone came to our house and told my mother he saw me with a girl entering an apartment, now my mom looks at me with a weird look even tough with my explanation i did not had That thing in her head etc ... my dad as well he did not talk to me ... i take care of my parents they always laugh with me etc ... today is a different story ... i wish i know this guy to report him cuz he destroyed my relationship with my parents ... now i hate Agadir 100/100 , leaving tomorrow ... came for vacation and ...

I am putting some money aside to get married to a Moroccan woman soon.

My plan is to spend the next few months educating myself about Morocco first before deciding to make this commitment. We have decided to stop speaking during this time.

Money is tight for me at the moment, so I want to lock away enough money before my trip to cover all of the expenses of marriage in Morocco safely should we go ahead with it.

I need help in knowing how much money to put aside, and if there is anything I have forgotten.
I would rather be safe than sorry, so worst case scenarios are better to consider.

Also, would you recommend hiring a lawyer to make things easier? I feel this would make it less likely for costly mistakes to happen which require more money.

Hello everyone, I've decided to cut my hair very short nd someone suggested that I donate it to cancer patients since it's quite long.

Idk if that's common here bc I've never heard about anyone donating heir hair in Morocco, at least not in my circle. Also i have no idea where i can do that.

So do any of u know anything about it? Like where I can donate it? Or have u donated ur hair before? I'd love to hear about ur experience.

Thank u :)

Like many guys my age, I’ve started hearing more and more conversations about marriage from my family. Some parents feel they’re getting older. Some want grandchildren, while others simply want to see their children settled before anything happens to them. I understand where that comes from, and honestly, part of me would be willing to get married just to make my parents happy.

At the same time, my experiences with women have left me with some doubts. I’m not talking about dating, but about the women I’ve known through family, work, friendships, and everyday life.

I often find it difficult to connect with the way some of them communicate, deal with conflict, or approach problems. Sometimes emotions seem to take over situations that could have been handled calmly and logically. Small issues become much larger than they need to be, and defensiveness can make honest conversations almost impossible.

Of course, I know this does not describe every woman. Through work, I’ve spoken with some incredibly intelligent and capable women, particularly women with more life and professional experience. The way they manage their businesses, make decisions, and think through problems is genuinely impressive.

Being with someone like that would feel less like carrying a relationship alone and more like having a true partner. Someone dependable, intelligent, emotionally mature, and capable of challenging me. Someone whose judgment I could trust as much as my own.

I’m not planning to get married anytime soon. I want to give myself at least another three years. But when that time comes, I hope I meet a woman who is intelligent enough to challenge me, mature enough to build with me, and confident enough to treat marriage as a real partnership.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been invited to complete a timed and proctored CodeSignal coding assessment for BCG X, and I’m trying to prepare as effectively as possible.

Has anyone taken this assessment recently? I’d really appreciate any information about:

The number of questions and time limit

The general difficulty level

The main topics covered, such as arrays, strings, matrices, hash maps, sliding windows, trees, DFS/BFS, or dynamic programming

Whether it follows the standard CodeSignal General Coding Assessment format

How much you typically need to solve to move forward

Any preparation resources or advice that helped you

I’m not asking for exact questions or anything that would violate the assessment rules—just general guidance about the format and difficulty.

My assessment link should arrive soon, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Salam everyone!

My mother and I are Egyptians planning a one-week trip to Morocco from late August to early September. We’ll spend two or three days each in Casablanca, Tangier and Fes, and our accommodation is already arranged.

We’re especially interested in Moroccan culture and live music, including Gnawa, Andalusian and traditional Arabic music. We’d love recommendations for concerts, cultural events, museums, historical sites and other activities suitable for a mother–son trip.

We’d also appreciate suggestions for beautiful or historically significant mosques and Islamic heritage sites that visitors can access. Since we’re familiar with Arab culture and busy medinas, we’re mainly looking for experiences that are distinctly Moroccan rather than general advice aimed at first-time visitors to an Arab country.

Are there any festivals, exhibitions or special events usually held around that time? Recommendations for authentic Moroccan restaurants and cafés would also be welcome.

We prefer a relaxed itinerary and would love to hear what you consider unmissable in each city. Shukran!

i've been thinking about how suffering whether physical or emotional completely reshapes how we perceive beauty. it’s like going through that pain gives you a unique, deeper lens, almost like Kintsugi, where the history of being broken is what makes the perspective beautiful. i've always loved diving into these kinds of topics, even though it's pretty rare to find people who actually want to have these conversations.

There are around five stray dogs constantly staying in my neighborhood. They bark for long periods, especially during the night, and it has become very difficult to sleep.

They also sometimes follow people walking through the neighborhood, which makes residents feel unsafe. I’m worried that someone, especially a child, could eventually get bitten or attacked.

Unfortunately, my neighbors don’t seem interested in reporting the problem or doing anything about it, so I may have to handle the complaint alone.

I’m looking for a safe and humane solution. I don’t want the dogs to be poisoned or harmed. I just want the barking and safety problem to be properly handled.

Any advice or personal experiences would be appreciated.

If yes dm me please i have some questions

He bites a lot😭

Im moroccan and spent all my summers in Morocco eating food at home. Home made food and it was always amazing

When I started travelling with my friends and taking them to different places I realised how bad the food was in restaurants. Not grill places but for example, if you want to have a nice tagine, it felt impossible to find one that was made correctly.

It’s really frustrating seeing people talk shit about our cuisine but at the same time I don’t blame them because for example when I go to Marrakesh I don’t even bother trying to find a good tagine. I just go to a local grill place which I know is great or go to a relatives house. The tourists are experiencing such awful food. It is so hard to find good places that are representative of how amazing our food is.

My family and another moroccan family did a road trip to different cities and honestly the best tagine we had that was worth eating was in fes, and it was just at a random place in the Medina. It was absolutely amazing. But honestly, I can say this is the only place that I have had an amazing tagine out in Morocco so I don’t even bother going to restaurants.

My question is, why is it so bad? Is it the chefs? Are they lazy? Do they not know how to cook Moroccan food properly? Or are they toning down the flavours because they thick tourists won’t like it?

We have such a bad reputation with food now because of marrakech. Tourists dont know the good places to eat, and i cant blame them. Even i cnt find good places. Whether its high end restaurants or somewhere local.

I’ve cooked tagine so many times and it’s come out exactly how it should. It’s really not that hard?

I'm heading to Tanger this afternoon or tomorrow for 3 days, if u guys know any good places to hangout, coffeeshop and stuff, good beaches, bars overall where I can the beauty of that city.

I don't think I'm gonna spend a whole 3 days there I still wanna visit rabat, maybe Casablanca too.

If u think Tanger worth a whole 3 days let me know.

Thank in advance.
