I agree with Luigi on many of his comments, but not with that. Being from the south does not make you country and gullible. There are many gulible city women and men as well. I am from the south and I don't think its regional. I think its an individual thing. Not everyone from the south is nice and generous. I personally use to play games with men, using them for my own personal gain. That is how I detected the games of the arab men I encountered. I will admit I could not see a lot of it online or telephone, but when I met him in person spending a few weeks with him, all my assumptions became more clear and I ditched him. A player can't play a former player. My arab friend cursed me out, because I promised him I would returned to marry him, but didn't. Everybody everywhere plays the fool sometimes, like the song say, there is no exception to the rule.

Now there are some gullible women and men who will believe whatever a person they love say to them. They would always look for the good in a relationship, not wanting to see the bad. I look at the overall picture. I think women who hasn't been around as much or dated as much are even more gullible to fall for these scammers. Its got nothing to do with what part of country you are from. Its what kind of life you have lived, how much experience you have had with men to point out the good ones from the bad on. If you believe everything someone tells you, makes you a great target. I believe we all saw and knew what these men wanted with us. One of Maya Angelou quotes say ..."if a person shows you themself, believe them."
