Lina: Some additional thoughts

and a lot of older women do "date" young Moroccan men to boost their egos & yes, are quite delusional & rather blind, that's true.

I'm glad you can see that.

Yes, most women aren't forced to be with these men or fall in love with them... but no one chooses to fall in love with anyone. It's not like you turn on a switch in your body & say "time to fall in love with a Moroccan man".

No, but look at the driving force here: bad experiences with Western men. You have not said much about your case, but I wonder, Lina if you spend so much time on-line because you feel isolated from your peers. It's really not all that uncommon for girls your age to do that.

Sorry, but you can't seduce, charm, flirt with & cast love spells over women and expect them to not react.

Exactly, Lina, and that is why they do it. It's more of a form of persuasive speaking than anything else, and you have got to recognize that. It's pretty hard to tell what is real and what is not over the internet.

Some women have strong hearts & minds, but others are warmer therefore it's unfair to take advantage of them. Of course it's usually the most vulnerable women who fall prey to scammers, middle-aged, very young, divorced or under mental turmoil. It's possible for even the most cynical woman to fall for a manipulative man who offers her the world, & tempts her like the snake in the garden of Eden!

Indeed! Women who have advanced degrees and real-life dating experience fall for this quite often. Men, I would say, are even easier to nab.
