To his_queen_or_ not! The truth!!

Seems to be a plethora of engineers form Cairo online these days seeking a foreign woman to make their "Queen". His sisters are doctors and yet he comes from a village 1 to 2 hours out of Cairo.

Have you ever questioned how his family could possibly afford to educate three childen in one family to point of university degrees? He would live in a village and sending you copies of his passport and degree is a common scam. I have been approached by young men in Downtown Cairo wanting to show me copies of their passports and degrees to prove that they are educated and wordly and I'm sure that if you were in the same situation you wouldn't take notice of them either. So why take notice these papers from an Egyptian that you have met onlne?

If you have told him that you have no money then that is just not an issue with him. He will continue to "hook" you in and you WILL find the money for him.

Keeping the relationship a secret from his family is another concern - they just wouldn't approve! Islam in the rural villages out of Cairo is very conservative.

Sorry that I can't give a more satisfying opinion and my advice is to walk away NOW.
