I don't think that Egyptian men are intrinsically bad, it's just that they jump to conclusions easily.

To them a friendly returned smile mean 'I want to sleep with you'. I think women just have to be friendly but firm with them straight from the get-go and there won't be any problems.

I certainly don't think that Egypt is a dangerous country. I think that the guys realize that if the police ever got involved, then the local would be the one getting into trouble.
