Something about my experience with Moroccan men

Hi,

I have never actually dated a Moroccan man, but i have had many experiences with them. I have dated a Muslim, and i come from a Christian background. So i would say, if you really like him, go ahead and see where it goes. However if your religion is very important to you and you would like your partner to be of the same religion, then this is a problem.

My general experience with Moroccan men is that they are very forceful. They do not treat women as equals and although they sometimes think they are doing what is best for you, they really have no idea at all. You need to make sure that things are going as you want them to go. If he has been living in the US for most of his life things are also a little different, but if he is truly Moroccan, then you need to consider what you need from a relationship and not settle for less.

Finally, you are only 18, so its ok to gather experiences so that you can know better what you want in the future. Just make sure he is not controlling the situation. Good luck.
