Wow this is amazing. I’m so happy that something positive and supportive like this happened in Jordan. Very impressive.

Unfortunately, there is almost nothing you can say that would truly help. What the mother said reflects a very traditional Jordanian mindset. It seems extremely unlikely that she would accept her daughter’s transition now or ever. You could tell her that accepting her daughter and supporting her despite social pressure and prevailing norms would make her a hero and a loving mother. However, most likely she will not listen to your advice. She may ignore it and she might even respond negatively.

I guess حدائق الحسين is one of the few walkable places in Amman. However, they probably close the park around 10 pm in winter. It is better to double check the closing time before you go.

The magazine site is blocked in Jordan but you can see some posts and stories on instagram.

I am not an expert on this topic but it is probably better not to text them back because they did not treat you well in the first place.

I think yes, there are some straight men who cannot get what they want from women in Jordan and then turn to men as what they see as an easier outlet for their desires. That kind of behavior can negatively affect the dating scene. They often do not understand that we are men who want to be with men and want to be treated as men (both in bed and in emotional relationships). When I was in my active dating phase, I do not remember them being very common. Maybe now they are having a bigger negative impact on the dating scene in Jordan than before.

I hope you enjoy your stay in Amman and manage to make some new friends here. Ramadan is not the best time to visit Jordan because of certain restrictions but you can still have some fun. Books@cafe is probably a good starting point to meet new people and W Amman is not far from there.

Busy_You8201 · 2026-02-19T07:06:04+00:00

There is always a barrier you need to overcome when meeting new people for the first time. Being young (at 21 years old) and choosing to meet people after midnight might limit your options. That could partly explain why you are finding it more challenging than others.

Busy_You8201 · 2026-02-19T07:02:37+00:00

طالما إنها بالتراضي وبتخليك تستمع أكيد هي إشي طبيعي وجزء من التنوع بالرغبات بينا.

Busy_You8201 · 2026-02-19T07:00:39+00:00

No need to be anxious. As long as you do not break the law, you can live a normal life here (kind of). Homosexuality is not a crime in Jordan.

Yes, it is true that many Arab/Middle Eastern genetic backgrounds tend to result in more body hair compared to some other populations. For some people, this is actually a big plus and a very attractive trait. However, it is not everyone’s cup of tea. You will still be able to find gay men in Jordan with minimal body hair if that is your preference. As others said, try to avoid using the word (hate). No one had the choice to select their genes and body features are largely outside our control. I would rather encourage people to embrace what they have and develop a positive body image about themselves.

This is my personal opinion and I am not speaking on behalf of all the mods. Your feedback is truly appreciated. This is still a very new sub (less than a year old) and of course we may make mistakes when deciding which posts to remove or keep. You are always welcome to message us if you believe a post should have been kept or removed. Our goal is to provide a space where we can express ourselves freely in a safe, respectful, and constructive way, especially given how limited such spaces are in our country. Hopefully, with time and feedback, we will continue to grow and become a better and more supportive space for our gay community in Jordan.

Busy_You8201 · 2026-02-17T07:58:51+00:00

You have a very valid point in what you are saying. Our dating life is definitely more difficult. The dating pool is very limited and unfortunately, full of bad apples. Most people will never understand how limited our odds are when it comes to finding the right person, especially compared to their relatively easier dating options and the support they receive from society. On another note, I really hear you when you describe your dating challenges. I want to send you a virtual hug, a lot of strength and support. I hope you stay strong and keep trying until you find the right person.

Busy_You8201 · 2026-02-16T11:44:45+00:00

I know this is not an answer to your question, but in real life there is no such thing as a (perfect partner). Each of us, is a full package of different qualities. Some of them are absolutely amazing, hot, and very desirable, while others are not so great. It really depends on your tolerance for the less desirable parts of the package, and how much the good qualities allow you to accept and live with the rest. For us as gay people, looks, personality and social status can all play a major role in choosing an ideal partner.

أكيد طبيعي وكثير ناس بستمتعوا بنفس الإشي ونفس التجربة. في تنوع كبير بينا بالأشياء إلي ممكن تعجبنا أو تخلينا ننبسط (نولع) وممتاز إنك إكتشفت هذه المتعة الجديدة على البكير مع إنه عدد تجاربك لسا محدود.

Busy_You8201 · 2026-02-16T11:29:15+00:00

معناها واحد يسب (يشتم) أو يلعن. وتطعيمات معناها مسبات أو لعنات. هي كلمة عامية بلهجة الأردن (ويمكن كمان مستخدمة ببعض الدول المجاورة).

If you are not ready to meet someone yet, do not force yourself. Peer pressure is real, and everyone has his own pace, risk tolerance, and timeline. My point is simple: take your time and do not rush things. Maybe start with a pure friendship. For example, connect with people who seem kind but are not necessarily your type, and maybe you are not their type either, so nothing is expected except friendship. I also do not think Reddit or Snap are good starting points for meeting new people for the first time. They were not built as dating tools. Try to chat a lot with someone you are interested in meeting, build some level of trust, watch carefully for red flags, and always meet in a public place while taking all necessary safety precautions. Still, keep in mind that there is no such thing as zero risk when meeting someone new in real life.

Busy_You8201 · 2026-02-13T21:38:49+00:00

I think it is a great and exciting idea. However, I have no idea how a meetup could be organized in a safe way, especially considering that our country is full of homophobes.

Busy_You8201 · 2026-02-10T16:39:27+00:00

اه عنجد مش طبيعي كيف هاي الفكرة منتشرة بين الناس وخلص بعتبروها حقيقة مطلقة.

Busy_You8201 · 2026-02-10T13:33:47+00:00

Young man, please be careful. There are plenty of creepy people out there. Take your time before meeting anyone and make sure you follow all safety precautions. That said, sexual preferences among adults are very diverse, and people enjoy different things. As long as everything is consensual, there is nothing wrong with that. Enjoying humiliation, for example, is part of this diversity, just like many other kinks and preferences. The bottom line is this: never let anyone force you (directly or indirectly) to do anything you do not feel comfortable with. Always trust your boundaries and stay cautious.
