To bewildered - I understand

Bewildered, I understand where you are coming from and I know that at times I can have a hard edge to my comments. I remember the first time I visited Egypt and propir to travelling I was warned about Egyptian men by my travel agent and also a friend who was travelling with me who had been to Egypt many times before.

The attention started the minute we disembarked in Cairo and continued through to Luxor and by then, it had become a joke to us all. So maybe I was just a little wiser to this behaviour. I too will not go to Sharm ever again or Hurghada for that matter. They have just become "sex" cities for European women of all ages and backgrounds even if you're not looking for it! My husband is from Luxor but I have not seen this problem in Luxor so much. Luxor's problem seems to be more of much older women with very young men not young men looking for young women. That being said I know that there are many undesirable and dishonest men in Luxor as the Luxor page on LCB illustrates but fortunately our social circle there does not include them.

I'm sorry that you got caught up with this creep and revenge certainly is sweet. Putting him on LCB is the first step but please don't let him ruin your life or your trust in people. Revenge also includes getting over him and becoming a strong woman again. Remember that he can't take your strength of character from you.

All the best.
