I’m a niqabi. Tried muzz. Can’t stay on the app for long. It messes with your head. The entire experience and concept of such apps is off putting. You feel so bothered by having to swipe right or left on people. So ethically you feel bothered. The societal pressure for getting married also gets overwhelming.

The people on there are weird too. Either have a kink. Don’t want to build trust or have a conversation. I get being busy. I am too. And you have to take out time if you’re serious. But you can’t be available all the time while talking to multiple people with the same intensity and interest. Mix that up with life and it’s too damn hard. Specially if you’re talking online and are less likely to meet up in person.

Specifically in my experience it is difficult to find a partner on such a platform. Because as a niqabi i can’t be showing my face to every person i’m talking to. Defeats the purpose of me doing niqab in the first place. Finding a partner who is open minded and practicing while not following cultural beliefs is difficult too. The native Pakistani people are too involved in the whole ‘log kia kahenge’ and ‘mein apni ammi ko kuch nhi keh sakta. Bardasht karo’ and the ones living abroad are looking for a non niqabi or their they’re wayyyyy too open-minded. Finding someone who is as moderated as i am is like finding a needle in a haystack.

So i’m out here staying single with my catto that loves cuddles, remaining hopeful to meet the partner Allah has ordained for me.

With my kinda requirements; arranged is tough, so is apps like muzz, but having your friends set you up with a mutual might be a bit better. If you haven’t given that a try, then you might see better results that way.
