I guess you weren't talking to me then! And I'll be sure to send you (and some other ppl on this forum) MY story!

And missscottish, I have some new advice for you. Screw what ppl are saying on here. You have common sense. All of these rants about Egy men only apply to a particular breed of Egyptian man. And your man does not sound like one of them. And you've already met this guy. Go visit Egypt again, enjoy yourself, and see how it goes with this man of yours. Best wishes, and I hope you're able to prove some people wrong!

And just to prove a point, here's a checklist for you:

1. Are you an OLD LADY?
2. Are you wealthy?
3. Do you often vacation in Egypt Resorts looking for young Egy studs to groom?
4. Is he dirt poor, and struggling for work in his village?
5. Does he go on and on about his dream of being a Scottish bagpiper?
6. Does he keep you away from his family and not talk about them?

I'm guessing the answer is NO to these questions. So, there ya go! He's legit hahahaha

You have already told us your story...

If anyone is 100% sure of their man they wont be on here asking.. it's that simple.
Are you saying it's ok to fleece women if they are old?
What you are told on the phone, by email are words nothing else.

First, I didn't tell YOU my story...I was giving advice to a girl who asked for it.

No, girls have to ask because when they go online and google "Egypt", the first thing that pops up is some website with some horror story or warning for women. And then, EVERY girl gets sketched out about her man.

And no...just like you are generalizing about every Egy man, I am generalizing about the "WARNING SIGNS" AKA being a smart butt, thank you.

Hmmm, OK, Yes you're right, they are just words. Let me call my bf and tell him it's over... because he is probably scamming me. That's what you want, right?

You did tell your story.. it is an open forum for all to read..


Now I wonder why this happens?

"No, girls have to ask because when they go online and google "Egypt", the first thing that pops up is some website with some horror story or warning for women. And then, EVERY girl gets sketched out about her man. ?


I think I may just know a whole lot more than you do about Egyptian men.. I live here and I dealt with the aftermath of broken hearts making me a bit more savvy than what goes on.

You can do what you like with your boyfriend but don't complain when you write on a forum and no one tells you how wonderful and great it must be to have a man calling you from halfway round the world with declarations of love.

You didn't answer my question... so you think it is alright for them to scam women if they are old?

Hi,

First of all, sorry about editing your post.........But don't you think that the results given by Google are there for some reason?! Or you think Google got something personal against the Egyptian "men"?!

Oh and please do read where I'm from before you........get defensive again?!

I think we seem to be missing something here.
What, as foreigners we see as a scam, is by egyptian standards legit.
As foreigners we have the luxury of marrying for any reason we like, be it love, money, security or companionship.
Egyptians on the other hand have other reasons,
Once you get past religion,education and of course the cousin, then it's financial.
So picking a foreigner, ( European or American) with a passport that could get you and your whole family out to a better future, is perfectly legit, that's why there eager to tell there family, who of course encourage them,
Or a foreigner, who stays here has a much better chance of earning more salary than they do and giving them a life style they would never in a million yrs attain .
The problem is here the foreigners have no family protection. If my daughter Evan thought of someone out of her social background. Then the family would soon put a stop to it. As both would know there would be disaster.
Don't give the Egyptian culture the same attributes as Europeans or Americans .
What they do with foreign woman is for them legitimate that's why they come across as sincere. Bat

All getting a bit controversial on here!! :-P
Sorry for bring nosey highvoltagehair, but have you meet you ur man before? & yeah the answers to all ur questions were no!! I'm not desperate just trying to find out more as you said these sites put things in ur head!! & from seeing things on this forum this is what has made me doubt as I know usually these kind of guys r experts so everyones gota keep their wits about them I suppose.

Maidenscotland - you seem to know alot. I don't think he is scamming me, he'd b choosing the wrong person. I have money, but would say he probably has more than me considering he has his own small business. I suppose I'm just a bit wary of all this 4 & 5 wives malarky.
As for being heart broken too, I would just get a flight home. I suppose I'm just looking for something to not b right & to go wrong as everything seems too good to be true haha!! But I suppose this all to do with my own confidence.
