wow lina,
that was a good way of saying a few things that women should be on the lookout for. lots has been said here, but you kind of opened up a few new doors.

yes, i'm familar with the berber, hibbi, fatin, etc. but funny that these are the only words these men want you to learn. i learned a bit of arabic on my own, and french of course, but for some reason, i used to wonder why he wasn't excited about the arabic knowledge. looking back, its because they don't give a flying fig what you know or dont know or even care if you can barely talk.. all they want is their plan to work and thats THAT.

yes, they are close to their families..but there's no way a young man's family is going to accept a woman that is 20 years older than he is.. its not reality. (at least NOT there) what a joke he would be in his own city. western women think its normal since we do it here in the usa. but for morocco and other places like this, its NOT.

my guy said, well, the prophet mohammed married a woman 25 years older than he was.. blah blah blah. who knows..ive yet to hear of one, JUST ONE marriage to any of them men, working. just one. hey, just show me ONE relationship in general that is working with any of these men, without the women sending them money...i'd love to know.

take care
angie
