Stereotypes and Good Relationships

Unfortunately, lobbing accusations of stereotypes is sometimes if not almost always a lame defense and an excuse to continue in a questionable relationship. A lot times when women are hurt, they want to forget about all men period and maybe a few extra adjectives get injected with some of these emotional posts.

But it's pretty clearly understood among regular users that not all Muslim men are bad. It's not something I address over and over because as I mentioned, it becomes an excuse to continue a troubling relationship.

As I have said on here before, most of the good Muslim/Arab/Egyptian or whatever men are not going to be found on the internet looking for relationships and/or writing long essays about their relationship; they also won't be taking advantage of relaxed people on holiday.

Scamming and lying should not be stereotypes to anyone group, but as you can clearly see, this forum IS about Muslim men. It doesn't mean that this ridiculous behaviour is limited to them but we do have a particular niche here.

Also, if your husband is so great, I'm not sure why you need to search for this topic on-line. If you have to rely on "not all Muslim men are bad" in order to stay with your partner, that's usually a bad sign either about your marriage or something else personal that is going on.
