To Jennifer

I agree Jennifer - not all Egyptian men are scammers. Mine isn't either and we have been together nearly 10 years now and live between Australia and Egypt. We were meant to return to Egypt in August but have stayed on in Australia until the political crisis has settled in Egypt because it has affected our business there.

There are exceptions to every rule and whilst I don't support internet relationships because of the pitfalls, there are always exceptions to the rule. You make a very good point when you say your Egyptian man doesn't want to leave Egypt. It is my belief that the honest ones don't. They have no need to scam western women for a visa because they are happy in their own skin.

All the best.
