I was living in the Philippines a few years ago and we took a vacation in Puerto Galera. On the boat over, we met some people from the mid east. One was from Turkey and several other were from Iraq.
We chatted amiably during the half hour boat ride. As it turned out, we were staying at the same resort.
The next day they approached us at breakfast and said that they had arranged to go snorkeling and wanted to know if we wanted to join them. We had a a great time and had lunch together.
It happened to be New Year's Eve and we spent the evening on the beach with them. Again we all got along. At one point, one of the Iraqis leaned over and whispered in my ear, "We're not all terrorists, you know". I really felt bad that he felt the need to have to explain that to everyone he met.
It's not just women. Men can get along as well.
