Hi Lisa,

Thank you for your comment. If you are the same Lisa I answered once before, then we experienced a very similar version of moroccan romance indeed. We probably saw the same perfectly attractive women holding hands with obviously inadequate partners. And their stories continue on here. I'm glad we united :)

For all other readers on here and Jordana herself, I want to clarify one thing. I don't mean to discredit Jordana's voice. She tells us from her unique perspective what we otherwise won't hear from the scammers - what their longterm expectations are. Her words are helpful to those who still need to find out that the incompatibility was there before them. It is a relief to some and a warning to others.

The opinion I don't agree with is that we could or should have done something about it. If only we were taller, younger, had better values... No way. They pick us like chicken to throw in a soup. There is no room for attachment, no need for longterm plans, no particular beauty requirement. Citizenship and money is what counts in this game. Each one of our imperfections will be eventually pointed out or simply invented to prepare geound for final betrayal. What will be "old and fat" for some, was "immature, and too thin to bear children" for me. The pattern stays the same. There is one simple solution for all. DO NOT MARRY THEM.

Thank you,
Shömi
