Kurdish men

First of all, it's been a minute since I posted on here, hope you are all well!

I want to advise women, especially in the UK where there is a growing population, to stay away from Kurdish men. While they may be attractive, generous, down to earth and apparently secular, please note the following -

1) Most Kurds intermarry or have arranged marriages, not usually in the west but back in Kurdistan many are already married to (or are planning to marry) a cousin as they are tribal people

2) While Kurds may not be strictly religious, Kurdish culture is largely honour based therefore a) a Kurdish man isn't going to take a "loose" western woman (ie. a woman that drinks and has fun) seriously in spite of what he says, and b) do you really want to find yourself doused in gasoline one day?! I thought not, which leads us onto

3) Many Kurds are involved in criminal activity, or know someone involved in criminal activity. Many arrive illegally into the UK, France and the Netherlands and are therefore unable to find legitimate work so of course become involved in the underworld. They also stick together so you don't want to get on their bad side

4) As well as criminal activity many Kurds will marry and impregnate western women to stay in the country so that they can either work legally and send the money home or claim benefits.

5) Last but not least, the Kurds are highly jealous of their lovers. The highest rates of domestic violence in Iran come from Iranian Kurdistan so you can do the maths. If they disrespect you, you will be treated as a w*ore. If they "love" you then be prepared to give up your social life and sanity.

Please don't take this as an attack on the Kurds - I have great admiration for their strength, bravery and hospitality. They love to sing, dance and laugh and they can be very loyal. But as stable partners, don't even go there! Please take this as a warning girls
