I was just reading some of your stories, and first of all let me just say i'm sorry for the terrible experiences you have had. I moved to America with my family in 95. and have had a very interesting experience in America. My parents got married when they were 18, and have been happily married for over 30 years. I have several uncle's who have married American women and continue to have long healthy relationships with their partners. I have dated several American girls and treated them much better than most of the boyfriends they have had in the past. I don't deny that you have had a terrible experience in your relationships. but you can not let one relationship define your life. To condemn a third of the population because you have had a bad experience is nothing short of ignorant. Watch one episode of cops and i guarantee you will find atleast 2 or 3 white couples where the man is either beating the woman or cheating on her. but no one says don't date white dudes? but women are very special, and should be treated as such, I am sorry that the men you dated did not realize how special you were. but you need to learn to judge an individual's character, rather than finding a characteristic and blaming all the issues of your relationship on that. I hope you ladies find happiness in your lives ... but the people you dated were just ... not because their muslims, but because their ... So maybe you should advocate dating nice guys, and start noticing signs of an. .. boyfriend. .... , i just had to say something, i hope you ladies feel better, and i'm sorry you had to date such ...
