Those are some good points, and my personal intrepretation of what you say isn't degrading to Western women.

You say older women get targeted. Also note that divorced women get targeted. Why? Quite frankly, it's no secret among men that divorced women are sometimes (if not most of the time) desperate. Desperate people do desperate things, like on-line dating.

It would be inaccurate to say there are not any good Moroccan men, but the problems result because of 1) on-line dating and 2) different cultures.

I don't know if you have ever lived in the West or not, but we are plagued by a phenomena known as post-modern liberalism. In my view, this will shred the EU's chance of becoming a world superpower and diminish Canada and Austrailia's world influence to a dull murmur.

I bring this up because in the seven months or so I have been on here, I can clearly see that some women on here have their attitude towards other cultures shaped by the post-liberalism. This philosophy promotes what is commonly called tolerance and diversity.

Unfortunately, while the intentions of this idea were good, they have since gone astray.

Many of the proponents of this use it to attack Christianity and Judiasm at every opportunity, which they see as the driving force behind colonialism. The truth of the matter is, numerous cultures have had expansionist policies, it's just that Christian Europe was by far the most successful (and most recent) at it.

In the UK, some schools don't even teach the Holocaust because they are worried a Muslim might get offended.

But pretty much across the West, post-modern liberals force the idea that multiculturalism is a good thing no matter what. The error with their thinking is that they think everyone wants it, and that they are spokespeople for the Third World. Personally, I find that amusing.

These ideas are talked about all the time in universities, schools and the media, which to no surprise, are all primarily liberal.

The trouble is, they never talk about the disadvantages or the challenges about multiculturalism. Why? Because they are scared to death of being called an islamophobe or racist. That's what it all boils down to.

You would be stunned at how great of a length they go to avoid this. I've even seen sociological studies done showing Americans dating outside their race just to prove they weren't racist.

Talk about true love, huh?

It is any wonder why the divorce rates in the West are so high?

I really do think, Miriam, that a lot of women on this board are influenced heavily by this, especially in Western Europe and Canada. Unfortunately, this influence isn't in line with the facts.

If you look at the demographic layout of any major city in the USA (I would venture to guess the same is true even in Europe) you'll find that all the Jews live in one spot, all the African-Americans in other, all the Chinese in Chinatown, ect. you get the idea.

While there is no law about this, people congregate like this because it makes them feel more comfortable. The same is true with dating.

As far as relationships and stereotypes about white Western go, well, 98% of white women in the USA are married to white men. 97% won't even consider dating outside the race even all things being equal.

The idea that certain Moroccan men (Or Muslim men, for that matter) take advantage of Western women (of any race) isn't surprising. I've seen how Muslim imams on the Arabic TV stations promote Western women. I remember watching one of them who just got back from a trip to Denmark saying how women marry dogs.

So, it would seem the media on both ends of the spectrum plays a role. The rape rates in Norway and Sweden certainly reflect it.
