they think that we are all so taken in with words and promises

These men seem to think that their words of loving and promises will win us over, WRONG. Yes its great having a younger guy say how beautiful you are and you are the love of their life, but what they forget is us women DO have gut instincts once we realise that we are just ordinary women and not this godess they make us out to be. Also they forget that us women can be just as devious in find out it they are playing the field and that i think comes with age. I feel for their women folk as they are so surpressed by the male gender. They cannot marry outside their religion but the man can. Why is it the man can have many wives and the woman cannot have many husbands ( Mind you would you like more than one husband)

Mind you having said this there are men from these countries who do truly love their foreign wives with all their heart and do not ask them to change to suit their religion, but they are very thin on the ground.

All i will say to us women is think long and hard before making any commitment and do your homework on your man and hopefully they are one of the genuine ones.

Take care all of you
