I recently met a guy who is Pakistan-American. He's American, completely "westernized" and lives in New Jersey. He lives with his parents, which is a turn-off to me for someone in their mid-20s (I am very independent and like my men to be too!) but otherwise he seems very charming.
Any red flags? I am NOT interested in dating a Mama's Boy and sometimes people from Asian cultures are much more subservient to their parents. Is this true of Pakistanis? Also, do they tend to favor strong women or are they looking for someone more "traditional". Obviously this guy knows I have a job and my own apartment but I didn't know if that's something that's a pro or a con for him.
Why don't you just get to know him and see for yourself? I'm sure people can offer you stereotypes of Pakistanis, but all will be different, just like all of us, especially those who were born and grew up here. You'll see soon enough if he is any of the things you're afraid of, and then you can decide if he's right for you or not. But to try and decide in advance based on stereotypes seems self-defeating to me.
A friend of mine dated an Indian guy who seemed very "American" but ended up being SUPER traditional and she couldn't handle it. I'm just trying to know what I'm getting into, LOL. Everyone is on their best behavior at first.
I just don't get why a guy in his 20s lives with his parents? He makes plenty of money. It seems immature to still live in your childhood bedroom.
Why? Considering the way the economy is many people are still living with their parents to save up money.
Also culturally this isn't seen as a problem with Pakistanis as most don't move out till they get married. Obviously, a lot do but just saying it is viewed differently.

Look around you - this is not unusual in the US, Pakistani or not
