Not really fair, Luigi

Why wouldn't someone come here who is in a happy, enduring and solid relationship? I am, and I come here from time to time because the site name came up on another forum for women married to MENA men that I am a member of. The woman who posted was quite clearly being scammed and was ranting about how horrible this site is. Curiosity got the better of me, lol. I like to think of myself as something as a casual MENA anthropologist ;) and swing by from time to time just to see some of the horror stories and scams that take place (and am often quite horrified by how low some men go). I post on rare occasions where I can add value, but never 'my story' because it's very much different and I have no axes to grind. Usually Luigi, you make some very valid points, but suggesting someone is only here because they are in an unhappy relationship errs on the myopic.
