To Anon1 - Morrocan Men

Hey Anon1,

Listen, I've been around the block a few times, my eyes are wide open..and I have been scammed, slammed, bhammed and damned by a Moroccan man. So trust me I'm not an idiot on this topic either. We're all entitled to our own opinions and I'm a very open minded, strong willed individual who still believes no matter where we live, what our culture may be, their are still 'some' out there (Moroccan's)with good intentions and not all scammers. Again, this is my opinion and we all have them. Right?

I do not know Rosie or Lisa's husbands from Morocco, so like I said, I hope they have found that good Moroccan man and as I said, it is like finding a needle in a hay stack. Not an easy task to find this type of Moroccan man, but I do believe they exist.

I could write a book on my experience with a certain Moroccan man. Been 4 years, he still calls me, still emails me, etc. But honestly, I have no faith or trust in THIS MAN. I wish I did, cause he is witty, charming, and loves his family so so much. But in all fairness, this is his culture, his way. I asked him about marrying a virgin Moroccan woman, about how he's never really ever experienced love or been in love. We date in the USA, they do not, so I'm sure they are winging what they call love. You know I fell in love with his culture, his country and some day I will go to Morocco, but on my terms and not to 'buy a husband'. Because I am from the 'old school' so to speak, my heart, my gut, will not allow me to fly to Morocco and pay for marriage, paper translations, etc. Maybe if I was a different person I could overlook all this and do it, but I can't. But beside that small part of the deal with a poor Moroccan man, the lies, the b.s. I had to endure, the unfaithfulness....was enough to open my eyes. Are all men in the world like this? No. Men in the USA use women....so....lets face it, it is what it is and you can't judge a book by its cover with the Title "Moroccan Man"...once you read the book, study the book, You can then make your decisions. But my god, get real, just because he is from Morocco doesn't mean he has a black heart and soul.

Again just my opinion and like I said earlier, I wish Lisa and Rosie all the best and much happiness.

Linda
