Luigi what's wrong with you...this is the BEST forum for us

I'm a little confused. There is NOTHING like this for Non-Muslim women married to Muslim men. This forum is mature, inviting, and informative to say the least.. I stumbled on it totally by accident and am SOOOOO GLAD I found it!! I think I typed in my search...Is my Algerian man scamming me or something like that? And here I am, At least 5 months here and I luv it! So I am surprised at your comments tonight as you offer so much awesome advise?

You don't understand a womans perspective on this....you are chatting w/ some guy from far away and suddenly he wants to marry with you...You don't know what to do, where to turn and many of us land here....American/UK men do not want to marry, it's pure and simple! And if you are not blonde and thin as a rail...match.com /e.harmony etc...No one's gonna choose you or "wink" at you!!! Am I right sisters??

O! and the responses you DO get... it's photos of guys with their shirts off & beer bellies....or some "model type" studio shots of some handsome guy who "suddenly" is doing engineering work in "Nigeria" but plans to return to the States soon....the photos are so fake it's pathetic. And they can NEVER speak to you because then you will discover they are the Nigerian phone scammers!!

So , yea it's kinda cool when a "real" guy says he likes you for "you" but just happens to be in a Muslim country....would you like to come visit and meet the family?

Life is so hard for older women....ESPECIALLY if she has no children, family, friends to speak of....hey, I almost used my life savings to travel to India to marry someone I was so lonely! I can't tell you how many men I met online....how many I travelled to see etc....Thank God I was lucky no one KILLED me, but I would have done anything not to have to wake up alone. I hated when I would meet them and they would be like you are sooo pretty!! But then they'd disappear!! POOF! just like that!!

So please, don't put this site down....each time someone "discovers" this "gem" I am MORE than happy to share my treasure with them. I want the ladies to know that they are not the ONLY ones chatting at 4am "our" time just to have a few moments w/their foreign "love". They are not the ONLY ones who have searched airline flights to Morrocco, India etc...contemplating if they should go "vacation" there in the hopes of meeting their loves...returning a "bride".

Proving to others we are "marriageable". That's what we are really doing....proving to others that YES! someone wants me too!! So don't put us down Luigi....we need this blog spot. It surely fulfills YOUR need to give us the male perspective on things. Oh! I noticed you NEVER ask US our opinions on YOUR situation....afraid of what we'll say on how women play men too?
