Egyptian man...

Hm, i have to comment after reading this. I had experience with different muslims from EG. From this i can say that yeah, women in upper EG usually don't work, they stay at home and the provider(and protector) for the family is man. In Cairo women can work...Man like to see that she would cover her hair etc. but not all muslim man are the same. I saw the difference between upper EG and lower - Cairo. But with EG man i don't know what to think. They usually want to commit pretty soon(religious background) but as well i am asking myself are they really in love or is just they like the wife(the more innocent she looks the better, beautiful, feminine) and so far she is not causing the problems is good? Really with this i am not sure. I had now the 2nd break up, cos the man faced difficult financal problems and after time he didn't know how to resolve it, he broke up with me, telling me, that he is rather the only one getting ... up than one more with him...

Man providing for the family, man don't like drama etc. I believe this is the deal with most of the man, but as well my experience is that with EU man you can do like anything, maybe they will not say it, but when woman is telling them her problems, they feel powerless and like they have to do something, they search for the solution and woman only wants to be heard. What kind of wife woman should be to please the EG man, from that article i have seen many things as well EU man want. My ex, which was from EU i felt like i am a slave, when we were living together, cos i guess it was normal woman cooks, cleans, does the laundry-i didn't mind doing those things, but if i would only have the appriciation and respect for it. With EG man i had that. But yeah, if the woman gets mad and starts to yeal at man for sure it is not good, but as well i see that in a positive way - there is kind of respect as well...Of course i am saying this for man who doesn't just want woman for money or to get to EU or for making babies...

For myself i have read a lot of books about woman and man differences and their relationships. So therefor i think that mostly EG man are more emotional. But it is too much for me, when i think yeah, if man doesn't like someone that woman talks to, woman should than close the connection to that person.
As I was saying at the beginning this was my experience... I feel i could write a roman, but i hope you got my point...Anyway with me it's the bad thing cos i found that i have a lot of similarities and values as EG, and I am sorry but really I feel myself different from other, always have, and to find a guy in EU with similar thinking etc. it wasn't much of success...Well from this point maybe as well was the same for EG long distance relationships...

Have a nice day :)
