Missing the TargetReader comment on item: Advice to Non-Muslim Women against Marrying Muslim Men Submitted by Straight_Talk_Luigi (United States), Sep 14, 2015 at 13:32 What you wrote was right on target. Sadly, it was not. I was starting to buy into the hate propaganda against Arab men that proliferates the the Internet. Let me guess: you are older than him, meet him on-line (he contacted you) and told you he loves/really likes quickly. And now you're really not sure deep down even though you want to tells us you are. I don't suppose you'd be referring to the examples on this site. If so, it's funny and insulting that you'd say that women who are used for VISAs and money on adventures that cost them hundreds if not thousands of euros all on a lie somehow makes them perpetrators of "hate propaganda". I fail to see, for instance, how buying a man in another country an expensive piece of electronic equipment or wiring him lots of money and then having a busted relationship is either hate or propaganda. I was even a little skeptical of the Moroccan man I met recently. NO WAY! You mean you've been skeptical of a man you haven't even met in person and only on-line? I'm not any more. I know for a fact that his feelings are sincere because when I had a total meltdown about my less than favorable living conditions he told me that it was his responsibility to take care of me and that I just needed to focus on finishing school. That's your proof!?! You melting down and him listening and offering to take care of you?? You're just going to take this word for it?!? HA! If ONLY I had a dollar every time that happened! Do you REALLY think that's unique? I've seen that before, and not with good results. And I'd LOVE to see react that way to a balding, pot-bellied white, black or Hispanic American male your own age. And don't even get me started on him offering to take "care" of you. It sounds like you're just making excuses for this guy because he is presumably younger and different, and you feel like you'd blow a good opportunity to be with someone young, dark and handsome and it'd be your only shot. Well, I know that feeling from interacting with Russian women. It's called TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. If you're going to waste time talking to men across land-masses and oceans, you better get ready for drama and heartache, because the chances are sky high you'll run into that LONG before you meet Mr. Right. And as far as the "anti-Arab propaganda" goes, well, just find most any story on here, download it, and replace MAN with WOMAN and RUSSIAN/SOUTH AMERICAN/NIGERIAN with MOROCCAN and it'd be pretty much on point. The American man I dated prior only offered me the advice to " hang in there". Ah, yes! Advice from the ex! I don't suppose this American fellow is one of those Western men who feels sorry for himself and just wants to see you happy, maybe hoping that someday you'll see what a great guy he is. Meanwhile, you're getting charmed by a man half-way across the country because he listened to a meltdown? Scammers and liars like nothing more. Putty in their hands. The funny thing is that he had doubts about me because we are on opposite coasts. Oh, I see. I must say that it is true that liars and scammers are quite good at making themselves the victims and making things seem like it's your fault. Textbook dating 101 for keeping a woman around. This could be just a take off of that (ie well I have doubts about YOU too!) I'm in Southern California and he is in NY.And because he thought I thought he was just after a green card. He is here legally so he doesn't need my help with that Oh. So how is he here legally? Is he a citizen? Is he marrying someone you don't know about? These are I think he is a keeper. You only THINK he's a keeper???? Why, you sounded so sure earlier in your message, but now there is doubt? You aren't on very solid ground here, so it's time to stop the illusion and move on. And you ought to see how many women on here who thought they had a keeper and are now listed on single on social or have (in some cases another) annulment or divorce. Do you want to be a statistic like that? Perhaps the 3 voters that "liked" your comment will be stats as well? Submitting....
