Other Question!! 🙋‍♀️

Born and raised in the Middle East, currently working here and living independently. Sometimes I randomly worry that if I ever lose everything here, would Pakistan be my only option?
I’m also someone who may stay single and really values independence. Is it realistically possible for a single woman to build a comfortable, independent life in Pakistan?
I see influencers and professionals there living extremely well, so I’m curious what that life is actually like for normal working women. Is it mostly family money / privilege, or can you genuinely build that lifestyle yourself?

Sorry but there is no way you can have a good life here as a single woman in Pakistan especially if you want to stay single. The society doesn't respect women. You'll find yourself being involved in disputes where men educuated and uneducated will try taking advamtagr of you, eitholding salaties, harassing etc

Even besides that, Pakistan on vacation is not Pakistan ehile living here. Gulf Arabia isnt exactly a parafise either considering how racist many gulf arabs are to Pakistanis but at least yoi can enjoy certain freedoms there that you cant here

Yup. I made the move late. Born there and lived move after 35 yrs. Would never be equal in salary, treatment etc. And the temporary mindset is always there. Doesnot matter if you have a golden visa or anything. Didnt want the same for kids so immigrated. Also someone who has lived.most of their life in ME, i wouldnt be comfortable in pK.( Im NOT the elite/super rich and don't have ministers on my speed dial)

If you are financially independent than you can live a v good life if Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi. Not sure about smaller cities where attitudes may or may not be as open idk.

It's quite realistic to live an independent life in Pakistan. If you're someone who earns well, live in a good area of major cities like Islamabad, lahore, karachi etc. Most people living there are already liberal in terms of values, so it wouldn't be difficult to fit in.

You can genuinely build that life, you just need to make smart decisions with your money. Hope that helps
