He is right

I agree- Internet dating is a minefield- why bother to communicate with a man from a poor country with high unemployment if you are going to drive yourself crazy with fears and suspicion.
I have travelled far. I do not trust Italian men.some are opportunists, if you leave luggage in the train compartment for 5 minutes and you feel safe because the Italian is sleeping- you can guarantee the minute you come back he has unzipped your luggage to check for cash, valuables in a split second!!

Albanian men are disrespectful of women- they show zero respect and are only motivated by money to come to UK.Lot of criminals, friends with police. But you would not be suspicious of them using you just for sex because they throw money around??

Le's get real here- In Morocco what you see is abject poverty- but you also see a lot of respect for Mother, respect for Father, family values, sharing everything they have- often very little.

I have visited my fiancee 6 times and i am still uncertain if i want to inherit financial difficulties. If you have money to spend on travel and accomodation - my advice is take your time- do not be rushed into anything i stayed for ramadan- he was grumpy a lot of the time, and getting up at 4m is hard- I did not enjoy it at all. My soup was too hot, this was not right, but we stuck it out.

You will never be accepted by the family unless you are muslim- if i hear the word'Madame" by a relative i am cringing thinking it is derogtory- but they speak french!! Stop winding yourselves up with negative mindset, they are nice people who are welcoming but trust takes time, and that is where you must take control- f he is genuine he will wait for you, if he has other fish to fry then you are better off knowing before it's too late.

Always keep a copy of his ID, passport number in case anything goes wrong and you can report it to visa in Rabat, if you are shown Islam fundalist propoganda- think about who he could be involved with- and if he tells you he loves you- write a journal and note his actions against his words and see if they add up. I thought Muslim men from Morocco told the truth until i saw this site- I am still learning!!!
The Internet is a playgroud for con artists- WORLWIDE.

i used it once for dating and soon gave it a miss- because you must meet the person and meet them many times to truly know them.
Like i said, I go there 6 times and i am still not making a commitment- he paid for his own tourist visa application- which was rejected anyway, kep your wits about you and do not give expensive gifts- Lap top, I pod- they will be sold to feed the family. It's is obvious.
Don't be niave and stop sending money- what are you a money tree with no self respect- if you want to give money give to a childrens charity ot help the aged in your own country. They need it too.
Good Luck.
