Arab Men in the USA

Hi Sonja,

I think what you said about Arab men in the USA is true about some of them not all. It is the women who is letting themselves be controlled by these men. They need to take charge and wake up.

Arab men are no different then any other man in the world if they see an opportunity to get something for nothing they will take it. If they cheat on their wives overseas what do you think they will do for you. As the saying goes once a cheated always a cheated. They are human beings no matter what culture and relegion background they come from. It is a known fact that men in America cheat on their wives all the time. Is it right? Of course not but they do it.

I think also the women should be smart enough to think about what she is doing before she get herself so involved and can't say no when she is given the question about marriage. You and I both know it takes longer then a week to know somebody before you are ready to marry. Yes some of them do say alot of nice things and most of them tell you what you want to hear, but you just have to be one jump ahead of them. When they start talking about marriage tell them to back-off. Learn to be firm with them. And just in case they don't understand what back-off means learn it in arabic then they will understand you well. Good Luck!
