Sounds like you and your man

actually date IN PERSON.

Yet, I still think you are in what my ex-girlfriend would call the honeymoon stage, meaning you really haven't gotten down to the nuts and bolts. I would advise caution, because religious men don't usually reveal that part of their psyche openly.

No one on here is saying that all Turkish men are bad, and there seems to be that assumption of late from newer readers.

If all Turkish men were bad, then were are all the women in Turkey? They aren't posting on here, that's for sure.

The underlying issue with all of these relationships, even the ones that aren't scams, are cultural differences. I've talked about it Viking Woman, Zella, juliecm, Yasemin, Miriam and Sara in Doha all more or less reiterate the same thing.

If you're going to adopt the phoney stance of post-modern liberalism and think that cultural differences don't matter, you're really in for a jack-in-the-box style surprise that is going to damage your heart and wallet.

I'll say it once more: Couples who are secure in their relationship need be spending time on here. I really don't get why women feel like they have to come on here and defend their man's race, culture, or religion.

If it's to be unique, I have to share with you that this kind of nonsense happens not just on here.
