So Deadguy ........your not happy there and iam not happy here .....i guess we need to re-evaluate our life and move looooool .......and Mardini no matter what i always try and smile
You're not totally right, but you're not totally wrong either, it's just like what Avril Lavigne said in her song...... Complicated!

He has 7 sisters and his mum who i get on really well with and I am treated the same as everyone else in the family.
After a few awful mentally and physically abusing relationships back in England, I feel so blessed that I met my husband and was given the chance to start a new life with him here.
Like others have said, There are good and bad people evrywhere, but you'll know when it feels right. Just spend as much time as possible in real life situations with him before you make a final decision.
I hope you will find yourself as happy and loved as me.
animaltyler ....its nice to read that your life is for the better in many ways .,, and you must feel so lucky to have found " Mr Right " in Egypt ,, he seems what alot of western woman would want to find in and Egyptian man......infact in any man ,,,,,
He seems he is kind , honest and most of all genuine .....
Its also a plus that you get along with his family ...and especailly his mother !!!
i just have to clear up one thing ,,,iam not actually looking to setlle down yet with a man lool .....unless whisks me off my feet ,,,,but i doubt that will happen for a good while
Sorry to hear about your loss ,,and with the support of your husband , you iwll both maybe wont forget of course but support each other and look to your rosy future

Having moderated the egyptian forum a while ago, it has to be the only forum where yes, men have come on here asking for womens phone numbers, asking to meet women, wanting to show them round and find them nice places to live..... Yes, they're being friendly. But the persistence and tenacity I havent seen on any other forum. Infact I would say this behaviour is pretty much exclusive!

Yes jojo, I am sure you are right, some restless Egyptian men keep scanning the exapt forums to find a girl with a phone number, or offer a phone number...etc. It's a disgusting behavior that wouldn't have accrued unless what they see from tourists keeps igniting their memories, if you know what I mean.

They mix what a tourist do in a 1 week vacation with any "another language" woman trying to find her life in Egypt. So it's like: let's give it a shot, maybe she will respond. A behavior that should be described not less than: "the cattle behavior". Disgusting.

But the thread's title is a ... little? "bad" too?? Because I am sure the majority of Egyptian men are genuine. The majority of the Egyptian people are genuine.

Hi there,

What I was describing as complicated was what you said earlier:

Wasn't "winding" you to bite back or anything, I wasn't even biting so you bite back

I am a complicated person as well but it's not what I meant

Good luck!

I'm sure you're right!!! I discovered the right word for this on another thread "REPUTATION"! And it is the reputation of a few that will always taint peoples views on the rest - as with every society, group etc!!

Also as I've pointed out, Its only really ever been on the Egyptian forum that we get these funny little chaps coming along........ !! But of course not all egyptians or all men are going to be like this. But its doesnt hurt to be cautious, especially when there are language and cultural differences

I have a strong connection to the tourism field in Egypt, and I it came times when girls from Romania started to pour in Egypt finding work as dancers, entertainment teams, and "other services" I can't mention here. What happened is that the whole Romanian girls were stamped with the "reputation", which I couldn't believe personally. Sure not all Romanians must be dancers, or who is being moms, teachers, doctors ....etc back there?

Several years ago I decided (out of economic decision) to invest in Romania, and as soon as you say "Romania", people give you this knowing look: yeah, this guy decided to play. which I was shrugging away. You know what?? I ended up living with the best wonderful woman you can ever find, with the best family ever (in my eyes). And I proved that what we have in Egypt is just less than 1% of all Romanians. The rest are nothing like this.

During my business there, I met Italians and Germans that came to Romania searching for those girls they heard about, want to have some fun for a week or something, ad they were asking me: "what are you doing tonight?? let's go out and find girls??" and my reply: "Mr. xx, this is a hard working country, you will go out to find everybody sleeping since 11pm". Surly you can find what you want, but it's a very small percentage of the country.

Sadly, a minor rotten spot in an apple can harm all the fruit.

And therein lies the whole Stereotype problem!!!!! But nonetheless, its human nature to use that as the starting point/benchmark for all nationalities, cultures etc. I dont think any of us are stupid enough to assume that every single person of a particular race are the same, but "en masse" thats how we perceive them. Its not meant to be offensive. In fact I'm sure some nationalities, in particular religious groups are happy with their stereotypical image, cos it aint all bad!!!
