Possible options :
1-You're kidding
2-You are a western media brain-washed
3-You miss-matched Iran with Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia.

right back at ya, what you see in the news about Saudi Arabia =/= reality, Saudi Arabia has changed enormously in the past few years, specially the big three cities. The majority of the new generation are copying the western traditions of all kinds (mostly the bad things since they're idiots). This might sound shocking but it is really easy to get laid here (which is a shame imho, I just don't like sluts).
That being said, there are still a lot of religious people in different levels, there are people who are limitedly open minded and religious(they take the good open minded things and leave the bad things), there are people who entirely gave up on their religion and traditions.
This just reminds of something that happened to me last summer, I was in the supermarket and I was wearing Amon Amarth t-shirt, an Australian guy spot it me and came to me, he asked me if I speak English then I told him "yes I do" he kept saying that he doesn't believe that he's in Saudi Arabia, he kept wondering why there was a guy and his girlfriend in the supermarket flirting, I told him that the new generation are just copying the western people.
I am currently seeing a Muslim girl who seems to have thrown off all inhibitions since leaving Iran. She, however, mentioned that Iran is fairly more liberal when it comes to inter-gender relations than neighboring nations. You just need to use common sense about it. Tehran =/= Kabul or Riyadh.
The only different between Tehran and Riyadh is that people in here are afraid of the religious police, that's why they don't go out with their gfs in public.
Btw I know I'm late, this is the second time I write this, I closed the page by mistake in the first time...
