dannie Would you mind going into details? I just started dating a persian man and I am not sure what to expect.... So far, so good
Well the one I dealt with for 7+ years was a crazy narc, but that has nothing to with his background..lol. I find them to be sweet talkers and manipulators, i.e they are very good at telling you what they think you want to hear. I've gone out with maybe 3-4 of them.
I know its long, but I found this on topix a while ago which I though was very true

"I have extensive experience with Iranian men and I can tell you that Iranians in general are the Kings of manipulation and feeding people BS. No, not all Iranian guys are like this but a huge amount are and the woman are no different. Manipulation and sweet talking people is how they learned to survive in their country, and has become an cultural norm that is almost expected. Many Iranian men tend to venture outside of their community for causal sexual relations, because it is easier to get away with it, unlike in the nosy Iranian community that gossips and is always prying for personal information about their community. The sad part is that many Iranian men are raised to believe that all other woman besides Iranian sleep around or don't make good wives, many mother's tell their son's this, but again not all. Some Iranians are great, but if they are raised within their Persian community or are Iran born and raised they are usually not worth the time and I would ignore their advances and tell them that they make you feel uncomfortable, but don't take it, or they will continue because they are arrogant and opportunistic.
