Thanks for responding, Becreative.

Yes I've also noticed that, there are different levels but the pattern is usually the same for each one. What I've noticed is that these men know exactly which type to target, & the exact methods to use. And it's uncanny because sometimes every story seems unique, but they do all unravel in the same way, and it's so much clearer in the end.

I think women who do their research beforehand will end up more broken-hearted unfortunately. Because the women who are only up for a bit of fun know deep down that it's only a fling, while those who educate themselves usually do love the man. Of course how far her research will go ultimately depends on the man's intentions - if the man plans the scam from the start, it's unlikely that he'll suddenly change his mind just because the woman seems nice and pro-islam. If he's the sort of man that scams in the first place, he probably doesn't plan on settling down with a western woman in the long run. On the upside, a woman who is more educated will probably earn more respect than a cougar type, and will usually earn a place in the man's heart even if they've separated. It's just that he had a different motive than her.

Haha actually it's funny because I've seen a few examples of how those ageing Egyptian gigolos turn out, and it seems that they either carry on and get more desperate, letting their standards slip and lowering their morality... targeting older and older women or the most vulnerable. It's safe to say that they do lose their looks, so they have to rely on cheesy chat-up lines and the token of being Egyptian (I don't see how else they'd get anyone). If that doesn't work they start networking with younger gigolos, sometimes even their sons/younger brothers, and giving them tips. Well they're veteran players after all. Then they could resort to the internet & use old pictures. They do find ways of leeching as much money as they can before they finally settle down with their dishwasher & gold teeth lol

Either that or they turn their lives around, regret what they did & warn other women, which is the rare type
