Not in every case Luigi

"Even if your man has been told this by his family or imam, trust me, and older woman and a younger man relationship across oceans and cultures means there is a good chance it will not work out. Simple facts and social trends, Isis, that's all there is to it."

Not in every case Luigi. Intelligence also comes into it and my man and I have a relationship that embraces a high intellectual level on both sides. Unlike others on this site, five of my friends at different times have actually travelled to Egypt with me and met my man. He has amazed them all with his honesty, intelligence, loyalty and work ethic. They are also impressed with his knowlege and acceptance of western culture and he converses as easliy in English as he does in Arabic. Nothing is black and white Luigi - there are always gray areas.
