Not at all Luigi

I'm not saying Lisa's vision is clear at all. I'm saying that she is on the way to obtaining information and experience to make up her own mind about her relationship.

I do not agree with online relationships because generally the western female partner has NO idea what they are getting into. They seem to be completely naive regarding Islam and middle Eastern culture and expect to be treated like princesses for the rest of their lives without even meeting the man. You have to admit that this just ridicuous thinking. You are trying to compare two different examples and situations Luigi, You criticise online romances in your posts as well so please don't single me out on that point.

Ignorance is no excuse and tf the women on here were serious about their romances they would go in with eyes and ears open and be receptive to all information - good and bad and not only the good news information that they only want to hear.

There are some contributors that have put their stories on this blog who have been quite receptive to "bad news" and then when they have realised that they have been handed the wrong end of the stick have been brave enough to say thank you. Others refuse to believe that ignorance on their part could have ever been just a small part of the situations that they now find themselves in. This is what I find frustrating.
