to Lina---double standards and facts

Lisa, don't listen to these narrow-minded people.

Can you be specific, Lina? If you are going to lecture people on here about generalizing, make it a point not to do that yourself.

Not everyone is the same... and I'm sure you could have your pick of American men, it's just that you don't want one & I can see why lol!?

Not everyone is the same?!?! Really?? Even those men from Amazigh?

Actually, Lisa was with an American man long before she ever thought one glimmer towards Moroccan men.

You also don't seem to have much confidence in this post, Lina. You are "lol" ing yourself all the way on this one.

As is the case with most stories on here, Lina, Lisa supposedly got a divorce and is now looking elsewhere for a prospective man. A Moroccan man was not even her first choice. Had their men been better here in America or the UK or wherever, This man Simo would have never met Lisa and she would probably have never even thought of Moroccan men. His name has been mentioned on here before, and not from Lisa.

Oh, just a little side note, Lina---Dating sites from all over the world cater to American men. I should also point that white American men date interracially and internationally more than any other ethnic group in America.

Like you Lisa I get attention all the time, from boys & men of all ages, from the UK to Morocco, and I've turned them all down... I'm not desperate, overweight or stupid... but you meet that special guy and it just happens, there's nothing you can do about it.

Since when is meeting a man on-line in another country special? We see it on all the time on here. You said you would never date on-line Lina, so why do you encourage Lisa to continue a marriage via the internet? Because it's not your hide that's on the line?

There's always something you can do about it, Lina. And I have no doubt that you are a very beautiful, attractive woman. At you're age, you're going to draw attention. That is, be in control of yourself and your feelings. Or, just let some man take advantage of you. Just by saying that, I can see why so many men try and go for you. They see you as susceptible and naive.

I just think it's interesting how you act like you care so much about Lisa, yet won't take the same risks she does yourself. Oh, but don't worry, Isis is the same way.

Some women are just more compatible with Moroccan men... not just their looks, but they're more appreciative of a woman's body... most of them like curves as opposed to the waif look... and the good ones, not the morons, are true men, but fun at the same time.

Actually, Lina, Morocco has more registered marriages between Moroccan women and foreigners than Moroccan men and foriegners.

College and intelligence don't correlate... I know girls my age who can barely read and write and are in college, and look at me, I'm advanced for my age and I run my own business. Only small-minded people of the sheep-like mainstream think that going to college = superior. Istanbulchick, try thinking outside of the box.

I agree. College is just another indocrtination scheme that erodes one's values and common sense. And you are smart for your age, but you've got a major double standard here with Lisa and Simo. Everything you have said about on-line dating contradicts her relationship, Lina.

To Istanbulchick: Moroccan men really aren't that backward. Amazigh men in particular are extremely intelligent, they could tell you things that make your head spin (Lisa, your husband studied in Marrakesh so I'm assuming he's not even fully arab).

Like I said, it's stupid to generalize, and I'm sick of seeing it on here. The reality is Lina, Most of those good and decent Moroccan men will marry Moroccan women and they will not care what you or I or Lisa from the USA say on here. Because, quite frankly, Lina, they are secure in their relationship and don't need third party approval whether it comes from direct requests for advice or percieved ranting from Lisa and other women on here who waste their time bragging about their sig. other's or father's culture.

And the women aren't that modest either. I was in Marrakesh this summer, and I saw women wearing bikinis, out with men & showing their cleavages, not to mention the prostitution...

Yeah, you'll see that, especially along the Mediteranean beaches.

i felt like a nun compared to them & I was wearing a mini dress lol... so care to think that maybe that's why Moroccan men are falling for western women? Because they find their own women materialistic and immoral? Istanbulchick, you need to do your research before you run your mouth like that... get to know people... lol.

Actually, it's usually because they want a visa, money or to make little jihadists using a Western woman's womb, especially considering that more women live in Morocco than men. Or just so they can brag about banging a woman who's from another country with a slightly different skin tone. I mean, most Moroccans are considered Caucasian anyways.

I know women from Morocco too who dress in very unique, provactive styles. They always seemed to take an interest in what I thought of their fashion styles. I was very impressed.

NO ONE is fair game for harassment... this is a big misconception that a lot of people have. Some people are more susceptible to it, like young people and older mothers, but morons will target anyone. They don't care who you are.

I'm not convinced that Simo cares about Lisa. If I were a betting man, I'll bet he'd never defend her or her kids on a blog. That's for sure. I don't think any of the men on here discussed would for their partners either.

Lisa, I think you and Simo make a great couple, who knows you might have difficulties along the line but who doesn't?

I don't. If they made such a great couple, she would not need to---"run her mouth"-- I believe is the expression you are fond of Lina---on this blog. People who are truly secure and feel safe in their relationships

I think Lisa is just blowing off steam that is inherently meant for Simo (even if she doesn' t realize it) and you're just responding to her post because you think Istanbulchick somehow insulted your father's culture.

Honestly, we really don't need anyone to patrol this blog. It's pretty well maintained.

It ALL really is that transparent, Lina.
