ADVICE TO ALL WOMEN

Submitted by Muslim Lover (United States), Jan 21, 2009 at 18:34

First, if you're talking to ANY man you have never met through the internet, beware. Internet dating restricts you from REALLY getting to know anyone. You can never truly know someone until you see how they interact with others. Second, if I sent you an email asking you for money, would send it? Never send anyone you don't know any money for any reason! Third, you must take the time to research someone's culture and beliefs before starting any kind of relationship with them. If you know nothing about their culture or religion then you know nothing about them. Don't solely rely on others to tell you their experiences on the subject either. You're not raising a puppy! You're starting a serious relationship with another human being and everyone is different!

I have no sympathy for some of you ladies. You allowed yourselves to be suckered. In some cases I read, in the women's own words, it was obviously a scam from the very beginning! We know that Western men can be smooth and seductive scam artists and abusers. Why is it so hard to believe that Muslim men are any different? You have the good ones and you have the bad ones. The good ones can be hard to find because most of them have bad opinions of Western women. ... Ladies, use your brains!
