I want to be very truthful with you, we Morrocans are very charming we have lots charisma and we're family oriented, but the fact that he's half your age it's a red flag , not that I'm against that , but in our culture not religion, the Morrocan man usually marry women younger than them at least 3 years if not , it could be for money or for her family name .

but the fact that he wants to marry you that doesn't prove he loves you , even if he s middle to upper class , he s just telling you that to show you that he doesn't need to leave Morocco. it's very very rare that you see a Morrocan marrying an older women half his age , we don't have that in our culture because in Morrocco theres 4 women for one man , the women population far exceeds the man's.

tell him that I don't think about marriage and you re just looking for friendship , see what he's gonna say. I'm muslim and I practice and I wore tank tops and jeans but it doesn't mean I 'm liberal and that's the same for lots Morrocans . yes you can find those Morrocans that drink and stuff...... but it doesn't mean theyre liberal in all things , this guy probably giving you the impression that he s a liberal and he doesn't care but believe me, if you were a Morrocan girl that he s love with he won't be liberal, especially with her . a

nyway, I don't mean to scare you , in general Moroccan man are very nice , talkative and emotional and they do listen to you, but be careful . let me know ok.
