Wake Up people

I am half turkish, half swedish, but my parents met in America, both are scientists and have no tolerance for religion.

When I was much younger, I would try to date the very religious christian women of America, who wouldnt have sex before marriage, because i thought I would change them. Looking back, it was a total waste of time, and it took only 5-6 years to finally admit. Of course, some of these girls were so pure and sexy, but ultimately, it was pointless. Even if I did marry one, the sex life would be impossible, not to mention birth control, etc.

So the parallels with women in Europe trying to 'change' religious men. They are NOT going to change, at least not easily. Maybe they will change with age, but then both of your lives may be a disaster.

Women in the West seem to really enjoy picking disasters for boyfriends. Not all of them, but some women really prefer drama. These are also women I have learned to walk away from. We have them in America, too, the girls that want the stupid, moronic, but TOUGH alpha males. These girls almost want to be lied to, because sincere guys they find boring. Must be a phenomenon of our time, just like some guys being players to the point of really being sick people.

Of course some of these men will be predators for visas, they want to get out of poor places. Maybe they want revenge on the western world, who knows. You should date Turkish men, but try to find some modern ones, and encourage modernity in them. To me, Turkey seems a lot like Mexico, same growing chokehold by lack of education and a stone-age religion (trust me, catholicism can be as backward as Islam).

Bottom line is that religion is a disease, period. You enter into its web, and don't complain about what happens. and women, as much as I would like to enjoy dating the hot blondes of Europe, choose your man by modernity and education, not hair color, or how good his shirt fits in the club...you're just falling victim to biology...and stop whining about how he makes you FEEL, and look at what's wrong with you, if disaster is all that makes you FEEL...
