White women as targets

Submitted by Lina (United Kingdom), Sep 18, 2016 at 22:37

It's true that men/women of all colours are targeted by these gigolos, although there are several reasons why white women might be prime targets

1) Cultural - White women are more likely to travel alone or without a male chaperone; also tend to be curious and less cynical/experienced when dealing with different cultures. Those of an immigrant background are usually less trusting

2) Financial - I suppose there is the idea that white people are all filthy rich

3) Psychological - These men play on the fact that Western men are usually about as romantic as a plate of soggy chips. They provide exactly what the European woman is looking for

4) Racial - Well most people know that westerners are not very well-liked in the Middle East. There's a weird attitude where white people are both admired and looked upon as a beauty ideal, and seen as trash at the same time. North Africans especially, are actually really racist against white (European) people.

5) About the sexual thing - well look, all straight, sexually healthy women are into sex and sexy guys. If Arab women had more freedom, they would all be at it like rabbits. But given the fact that white women tend to have more free will in their private lives, they tend to be more indiscriminate about who/how they get around
