About Egyptian Men

Well With all due respect I would advise you to proceed with extreme caution my friend. While you haven't told us the most important things (how and what circumstances you met this man under, and what his education level and occupation is, etc.) I can tell you that as crazy as this sounds there are no shortage of Egyptian men with insincere intentions out there in the world and many of them do not come in the stereotyoical desperate guy package. I was with and engaged to an Egyptian and I now am married to another Egyptian.

I am not saying good ones do not exist as I have an amazing husband and marriage although I am from a similar culture and upbringing (I am syrian and Palestinian-american) and we met under very innocent circumstances. Even as a married woman, with no social media public photos etc. I have been approached by no less than 50 Egyptian men online from young to old and completely at random which sjpuld give you a fairly good idea of how prolific this problem is. I would proceed with extreme caution and be sure to practice the 2 most important rules of any girl in our culture who wants to be taken seriously: do NOT engage in ANY sex prior to marriage even phone or online sex or send any nude or provocative pics, and do not provide him ANY money or valuable assistance of any kind, if he is worth ur time, I can assure u he will pay your way, regardless of his financial situation. It is jusy part of the culture and Any middle Eastern woman will agree.
