Reponse to Anonymous

. obviously, you are pis#@^ at somebody (I am guessing the women who have hurt you) so you feel the need to warn everybody about other men.

I probably end up laughing more than getting angry, honestly. Not at people's misfortune, of course, but of all the time and effort that people put into this blog that takes them away from their awesome and wonderful on-line partners.

Actually, no, the women who have hurt me were socialist, agnostic and Wiccan. Since you think you seem to know why I am on here (the reason you stated was incorrect).

I do warn women because the reason most of them come on here is because they are not certain.

That's ok, except that you don't know all the people involved personally nor do you know all there is to know about human behavior. You also have made comments about educated women like they are the most stupid in the world. Listen, you are making some broad statements as if you are a licensed psychiatrist. Instead of attacking people, please just state your case, be kind, and listen to other people's opinions also.

First of all, me disagreeing with others---not attacking. You're using the wrong verbs.

Quite frankly, a lot of these self-declared "educated" women are making some bad choices, and I have said that I do not want to finance someone's graduate school education if they are content to join a man's harem.

Also, I really do not think a first-time poster should be telling me how I should post.

Broad statements? I take each situation on a case-by-case basis. If people are on-line defending relationships, it's not a good sign.

As to online relationships, my nephew and my brother have both met wonderful women on the internet, and no they are not fat and ugly.

Because those traits are soooo important.....

One has been with his wife 8 years, the othr 3 years and are truly happy. People are people, and there are butts on the internet and in person. I, too, have had my share of scammers, etc. But if you are going to criticize people for being on the internet meeting people, then you should not be doing the same. You seem to have plenty of time to be on here writing advice to the lovelorn.

Read the name, bro, I tell it like it is, and marriage is not the finish line for on-line encounters. The thing I would ask you: Did they meet their brides in their home country?

Yeah, first of all, people for the most part come on here asking for my advice. I'm actually not on here much, because I can type fast AND I've investigated this and been through it myself so there is really very little that surprises me. My responses are concise and quick, and it also helps I'm not emotionally spazzing at the computer which others seem to do.

Hey, Luigi, I still love ya. You say being online a lot says a lot about othe person, and that's not good. So does that include you also? You say you have been around the block, so show some compassion to other people and don't be so quick to diss everybody who is or thinks they are in love.

Sorry, but real matrimonial and trust do not happen on-line, and I think I do okay for the most part by showing compassion, but I'm not going to pander.

What do you expect? People on here are hurt. Don't expect them to come on here and glorify on-line dating.

Yes, there are plenty of Moroccan men who want to escape, but there are also plenty who are honest. And knock it off about the age difference, not everybody is prejudiced about older women or older men.

Not if you're looking for a fling. Ball don't lie, Anonymous, neither do stats. Older woman and younger just does not pan out very often at all. And we are talking about 15-30 years in age difference here. Would you date a woman that much older than you, hm?

Ok, that's it for now. Luigi, I don't dislike you at all. It is very interesting to read what you have to say. But it seems odd that you are so involved in this web site. Were you ever involved with a Moroccan woman or somebody that is Muslim? What is your particular interest in this site, or do you just find it interesting (which is ok too.)

I just happen to know a lot about the marketing schemes behind the scams and I happen to be one of the only guys who posts on here regularly. A lot of what I say is just common sense.

It does help when you've been burned before, but that's I and others like on here appreciate the situations.

I can assure you, I don't lose sleep over this and I'm not on here that much at all. Sometimes, I go a few days without posting and this is the only website that I consistently blog on because I can make a difference.
