"...most western women especially go to turkey for the good looking guys for romance or casual sex e.g. older generation usually goes to turkey for this. That is why men usually see them as whores as they give it easy and seek for this any way."

It's really easy to dislike this poster. She talks about the importance of not generalizing and then spouts this ... I taught in Istanbul and dressed extremely conservatively and yet I was kidnapped briefly by a bus driver at night, was felt up on the rapid transit, and was ogled and harrassed constantly by strange men. We here in the western world show women more respect thatn this.

Regarding laying the blame on women for their stupidity in falling for the scams of these Turkish men, meltem would seem to be a throwback to the dinosaur age. Maybe, just maybe, if these men had not perfected the art of conning women so well, we'd be able to smell the stench of their scams.

Turkish proverb: When you shake hands on a deal with a Turk, count your fingers after. Unfortunately we here in the "corrupt" west have become so used to honest dealings that women going over there are not used to having to watch out for scams constantly.

You sure hate the west, don't you, Meltem ? jealousy ? hehe
