You are correct about MENA men. Sometimes they will also trick a woman and trap them with lies and the woman finds herself in a trap concerning immigration....especially if they are in a vulnerable season in their lives such as being hurt or losing someone close to them. This is how they target their victims by telling them anything they need to hear. American women don't know how they operate and one can never fully understand unless they have been through this. It could happen to the best of people and it could happen to anyone. Just takes the right situation. No woman should ever pay for a man for anything.

In this forum....what the men and women need here is understanding more than your respect. I say this kindly for most here on this forum have already been through enough put downs. Please be supportive and helpful. Validation of any unwise decisions that any of us have made helps to heal. Also understanding and supporting each other give us strength. Respectfully.
