Thanks for reading my report- I was laughing a bit, too, when I was reading yours- not laughing at you, but with you :-) And I am a kind of sad because all this is happening to us. We don't deserve a treatment like this! Nevertheless, it is kind of complicated too, and many reasons that we fall into these traps. I hoped for a long time that I and my man was the exception, that it was real love and that we had a future together. What I know today, tells me it isn't.

I just cannot believe that the very same words are used all over this sea of Mohammeds, as you call it. Hillarious! One thing I always wonder; why do everybody speak to you?? It seems to me that they think they are entitled to, just because you are a woman. Only this, tells me they don't respect women in general. And yes, cavemen is a good description for this. They are not gentlemen, like they think they are. Not in my eyes.

Ok, there are some few exceptions, but difficult to see them when ten persons are trying to get your attention. Sometimes I like to talk to men just for the conversation, but that's more or less a hopeless mission elsewhere in the world,too, so in the sea of Mohammeds you can forget civilized conversations, yes.

Sometimes he pretended he didn't understand english at all, but this doesn't make sense to me.

Seems to me they have done the same courses, or picked from a handbook on the internet. By the way, my man didnt cope with the laptop and didn't understand the internet. Even if I bought a laptop for him and tried to teach him simple things like emails - it was always; not now, maybe tomorrow...... even if I told him he would never, ever become a rich man without having the knowlegde of the computer world, he didn't care. Maybe he saw me as his future bank and he could just relax on the couch forever.

He also told me he did not live well without me, we have a connection, dear, and we will always be together, he repeated. And when I said something to make him angry, like "I am not a bank", he was sooo sorry, and didn't mean to upset me. Upset? They are clever making it sounds like everything is our faults, these guys.

The place you described sounds awful! How could he do that to you? As you say, just like a cattle....and back to the 7th century.

If I ever go to this resort again,( and I guess I will,) I will stay at a nice hotel and enjoy the climate, the sun and I will know exactly where my limits are, concerning men. But they know what to say, and polite as we are, we answer when people speak to us in a nice way. I use to do that, but I have to change my attitude when I go there. I suppose..

.We have to remember they do not ONLY speak to us because we have such nice personalities and good looks! Joking, but kind of truth.
