Egyptian men

I couldn't say it better. It is scary that this is exactly how my relationship with an egyptian man went as well.I have never believved in stereotyping before but this is so crazy that so many women have described the same characteristics in the egyptian men they have gotten involved with. I was a fool to get deeply involved with an egyptian man even after having read this sight and having gut feelings that he was someone to beware of...I won't go into details because it is teh same story as so many others on this site have described...I will say that he is a highly educated man but does not work, is online all the time, and is very childish with a rage i have never encountered before in any other person...he loves to punish by not keeping contact and then wants to know here I have been if we haven't talked in some time...insane!!! yet, like so many others on this site, I can't seem to dump this man completely...what is it about these men that make us intelligent women, who would not put up with this behavior in a man from our own country, continue to want them????? I hate myself for feeling this way about this man...it has been awful and yet i still hold on...
